Yellow, Green, and Purple Look

Posted on August 24, 2011 | 2 Comments
This is a makeup look I came up with when I was in Hawaii last month. I've worn it a couple times since then, because it's a fun colorful look with a dash of glitter! The glitter was a last minute decision that I added after I had already put my eye shadow, liner, and mascara. I like how it gives just enough sparkle to your eye makeup without taking away from all the pretty colors. Read more...
Bright Green and Yellow Look

Try this fun, bright look on a sunny day out to the beach or a picnic in the park. There are bright pops of yellow and green on the inner and outer part of the lid. I used a paler green color on the center lid as a transition between the two vibrant colors. I also applied eye pencils in a darker green and a gold along the lower lash line to complete the look.

Yellow, Copper, and Teal EOTD

For this Eye of the Day, I kept the eye shadow colors on the lid warm (a matte yellow and a shimmery copper), and I used a cool color (teal) to add a subtle pop of color on the lower waterline.

Since copper is a type of orange color, I intentionally used teal (a form of blue) to add complementary contrast to the look. Read more...
Yellow and Brown with Blue Glitter EOTD

Here's one way to combine subtle glitter to your eye makeup -- on top of your eyeliner! Apply a glitter liquid liner on top of a dark eyeliner to really bring out the color(s) of the glitter. For this Eye of the Day, I used a matte black gel liner with a sparkly blue glitter liquid liner. This is my first time using Barry M Glitter Liquid Eyeliner (love it!), but I'm also a big fan of Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliner. Read more...
Cal Football Makeup EOTD

Posted on November 20, 2010 | 6 Comments
Today is the 113th Big Game where college rivals Cal and Stanford meet annually for a highly anticipated game of football. :) I'm going to the game, so I came up with a makeup look to match my school colors -- Yale Blue (a dark blue color defined as the color of light with a 482-nm wavelength... yes, very nerdy) and California Gold. The bear on my face is Oski, the official mascot of the University of California, Berkeley. Read more...
