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!
