    Natural Makeup Look

    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...

    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...

    Urban Decay 15 Year Anniversary Palette Look

    I wasn't sure if I should buy the Urban Decay 15 Year Anniversary Palette at first, since I'm very much content with my Naked Palette. However, I was sold after swatching Junkshow (bright pink with fuchsia shift) and Deep End (bright teal shimmer) -- they're gorgeous (and the other colors are nice too)! Here's my first look using this palette, featuring Junkshow and Deep End as pops of colors to this otherwise neutral look. :) Read more...

    Mattify! Cosmetics + Look

    Mattify! Cosmetics focuses on creating products for oily skin. I recently received five of their Long Lasting Sparkling Eye Shadows and Mattify! Bronzer for review. These and other Mattify! Cosmetic products contain Kaolin clay, an ingredient known for its oil absorbing quality. I incorporated all the products in a makeup look. Check out the swatches and my thoughts on these items!

    Fall Orange and Brown Makeup Look

    I used MAC Pigment in "Copper Sparkle" in my Fall Makeup Look from last year, but this time I applied it on top of a much brighter orange to really bring out the color. The resulting burnt orange color stands out a lot more than the orange MAC "Rule" eye shadow I used in the previous look. "Copper Sparkle" is such a gorgeous color -- not only is it my go-to pigment every fall season, but it's also one of my favorite and most used pigments! Read more...
