Christmas Makeup Look

Posted on December 23, 2010 | 4 Comments
I came up with this fun and festive green and red makeup look for Christmas. I tend to wrap gifts pretty elaborately and make my own bows out of different kinds of ribbons, so after hours of wrapping and decorating I thought why not include a bow in a makeup look? :) Check out my "bow eyeliner" where I drew a bow with black gel liner and connected one end to the wing of my eye liner!

Holiday Party Makeup Look

Shimmery Blue Look

Shimmery eye makeup is a great way to glam up your look for the holidays and special occasions. Shimmer is an easier alternative to glitter, because you still get some sparkle without the extra steps glitter usually requires to stay on for a long time. I focused on blue shimmer for this look, but you can use any shimmery color on your lid and a darker shade of the same color on your outer V. Also, check out a picture of me (wearing this makeup) with American Idol finalist Jasmine Trias. :) Read more...
