Make Me Up: Taste the Rainbow

Like usual, I play around with my makeup at night, and on this particular night, I decided to recreate a makeup look I saw a model wearing in a magazine. I don't know about you, but I always rip out magazine pages when I see pretty makeup (not necessarily to recreate it, mostly to just look at it lol), and this time I decided to recreate it!

I consider this super dramatic because it has colored shadow all the way up to the brow bone. But I ended up loving this oh so much! And I would totally wear this out and rock it! I named it taste the rainbow, because it reminds me of skittles hehe. Hope you enjoy! : )

Make Me Up: Elegant in Mattes for 2011

After my first failed attempt at coming up with a look for New Year's Eve 2010, I tried once again. Let me say that I was very much pleased with this outcome, so much that I actually chose it as the winning look! It consists of a mostly matte eye (which I LOVE because of the flawless effect and airbrush finish it gives off!) and some shimmer in the inner eye to make me glowy and bright. 

The look itself is very simple, mostly just white, black and brown matte shadows. I'm also including pictures of the eye look with different tweaks on the face (I did this because I was still experimenting, to find the perfect look), but I ended up actually wearing the original look on New Year's Eve. I even threw in a picture of that night! Hope you enjoy! : )

Make Me Up: Party Like It's 2011

This is the result of me playing around with makeup, on a night of the departed 2010. I was thinking of what look I wanted to sport on New Year's Eve, and I immediately thought GLITTER... I should've thought NO! Things did not come out as planned because once I applied my silver glitter onto my sticky base, it basically gunked up. It turned into a thick (and i mean THICK) layer of sticky, chunky glitter on my eyelid. 

Nonetheless, I like the idea I was originally going for; Maybe I'll give it another try sometime. I still wanted to post this, despite the negative results, just to share it with you guys! Hope you enjoy (if you don't, I understand haha)!

Make Me Up: Romantic Plums

This is an old look I did during my makeup hiatus lol. The few times I would do eyeshadow, it would be something very simple like this. I LOVE my bright, over the top, super dramatic makeup, but sometimes it's nice to take a step back and just appreciate the beauty of a soft romantic look. Plus, it's very minimalistic, hence quick and easy! Hope you enjoy! : )

Make me Up: Exotic Rainforest

Bright looks like this are my fave! This is a pretty straight up look, with lime green on the lid and turquoise in the crease. Hope you enjoy!

Make Me Up: Bedtime Blues

I played around with my makeup the other night, as I tend to do many times before going to sleep. I apologize for looking so sleepy in these pictures, but by the time I took them I was reallyy tired lol. While thinking about what look to do, it came to my mind, the idea of doing more practical looks, ones that don't require 5 different eyeshadows from 3 different palettes; The magic behind it, is that it is a very accessible look that can be created on the spot, no matter where you are.

I simply used one L'Oreal HIP duo for my eyes, to create a blue and brown smoked out eye, and I must say, I loved the results! Simple, yet striking! Hope you enjoy!

Make Me Up: Shimmering from Day to Day

Very easy, quick everyday look with lots of shimmer! Glowy eyes are very refreshing and youthful, and I was able to easily acheive the look with a single Wet n' Wild palette. Hope you enjoy!

Swatch Me: Recent Haulage

Hey guys! This is a blog post I promise I'd put up, in my most recent haul video, where I swatch everything shown (with exception of the MAC lipstick because I can't find it, but I promise I'll add it when I find it : D ). Hope you enjoy!

Make Me Up: Cool Waters

Another night of boredom, and this is what came out of it. I really loovvee it! The lid color is a dupe for MAC's pigment in "Blue Brown", and the crease color is an HD eyeshadow by Nicka K. You might have heard of that brand in beauty supply stores; I totally recommend these shadows, and they have an awesome range of colors for super cheap! Hope you enjoy ; )
