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!
