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!

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 ; )

Make Me Up: Reminiscing the Silver, Red and Black of 2009

Hey guys : ) The makeup I wore today was very special, not for the looks of it, but for the sentiments behind it. The first time I created this look, was around May of 2009. Now, you have to know that I rarely ever do the same makeup twice (Except for simple things, that would be considered everyday. But even then, I use similar colors, but switch up the products); The main reason for this would be, that I have such a variety of products and brands, that I like to give myself a chance to use everything, and the artist in me doesn't like to repeat creations, I find it exciting to see what new look I will have created when I'm done (If it's a repeated look, the excitement is gone, and after a while it gets boring). But for this look I made an exception because when I first created it, I had just graduated high school (Or was about to... can't remember), and my friend Denise had given me the inspiration with the colors, my other friend gave me the title to name the look; It just all makes me reminiscent of the strong friendship I used to have with my friends, while we were still in school together. So applying this makeup on today made me very joyful, though I did tweek some things (That's the artist in me coming out haha... "I won't let you repeat Massiel, I WON'T").

An interesting observation though, was that I saw soooo many things in the original look, that I would now have changed/fixed LOL. I guess this means that my skills have gotten better *celebrates*. Practice makes perfect guys, not that perfection actually exists, but you can definitely get closer to it with practice : ). Anyways, I really think that I have improved my makeup application, within the last year; Tell me what you think, I'll post pictures of both versions belows.

Well congratulations if you actually read all that haha, and thank you! All products used listed below, hope you enjoy! : )
