Natural Makeup Look

Posted on December 5, 2011 | 13 Comments
I've received some requests for a simple everyday makeup look that would work for those without a crease. This simple everyday makeup is applied the same way, regardless if you have a crease or not. The main eye shadow is applied on the entire lower lid, then blended upward using a windshield wiper motion to fade it into the highlight color. I used brown liquid liner here, but a kohl pencil or eye shadow a few shades darker than your eye lashes gives the most natural look. Read more...
Sparkly Gray Smokey Eye Look

Here's another look using the Limited Edition Paint Pot in "For Effect" from the MAC Glitter & Ice Holiday Colour Collection. I used the same charcoal black pigment from my Classic Black Smokey Eye Look, but since I applied it on top of "For Effect", the result was more of a metallic gray rather than black. Just for fun, I also drew an extended black line from the outer lower lash line, going parallel to the eyeliner wing. Read more...
Inglot Turquoise Pigment Look

This makeup look features one of the Inglot AMC Pure Pigment Eye Shadows I reviewed back in September. I applied the shimmery turquoise "71" pigment wet to make it more vibrant, but the color also looks nice when used dry. The brown eye shadow is called "Lie Low", and it's one of the permanent MAC Pro Longwear Eye Shadows that were released with MAC Styledriven. I've been reaching for this eye shadow a lot ever since I bought it a few weeks ago! Read more...
Blue and Gold Liner Look

I'll be cheering for Cal to win the 114th Big Game at Stanford Stadium today. Although Stanford is ranked in the Top 10 and Cal is once again the underdog, I'm always decked out in Cal blue and gold -- including my makeup! :D I came up with this very quick makeup look that's simple but does the job of showing off my school spirit. I used Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliners in "Radium" (bright blue with silver sparkle) and "El Dorado" (yellow gold with gold sparkle). GO BEARS! Read more...
“For Effect” Gray and Pink Look

Posted on November 16, 2011 | 8 Comments
This is the first makeup look I came up with using MAC Limited Edition Paint Pot in "For Effect" (see my review). To make the Inglot gray eye shadow bolder and to add more sparkle to the lid, I used For Effect first as a base on my lid and then applied the eye shadow on top of it. I also applied a matte pink eye shadow to tie in the new MAC "Rebel" lipstick I just bought. :) Read more...
