Yesterday's look was a bit on the dramatic side... Ok, ok... More like definitely dramatic. What can I say?! I love drawing attention to my eyes, and I love sparkles. So it kind of makes sense that I'd want to do a dark look on my eyes, right?! Right!

It's gothic with a twist. I kept my lips fairly nude. But my eyes... Wowza! The tutorial is below for you to check out!

For me, having bold eyes is fun. It's a way for me to express my feelings for the day- whether it be fun, silly, quirky, or sullen. Yes- we all have gray days. Yesterday it was Danger for some reason. I don't know why... I just felt dark, full of emotion... And craving glitter. A poll on my Facebook Page revealed the color I would be using: Purple.

What's on my face:

Nivea Moisturizing Cream

e.l.f. Complexion Perfection

(under eyes, around nose, chin)

e.l.f. Concealer & Highlighter Wands

(cover blemishes, highlight nose & temples)

PF: Organics Mineral Foundation

The Eyes Have It with Orglamix Mineral Cosmetics:

Magnetism

Eye Primer

Fig

Grape Hyacinth

Pink Twinkle Effects

Vanilla Birthday Cake

Finishing Off:

Silvery-White Creme Eye Shadow Stick

(off brand, not sure which? Applied after primer, before Fig)

Wet 'N Wild Kohl Eyeliner Pencil in Black

WNW Gel Eyeliner in Black

Fantasy Makers (WNW) Silver Glitter Eyeliner

WNW MegaLength Mascara in Black

Cheeks have Baie Rose dusted on them (Orglamix)

Lips have e.l.f.'s Minty Lip Gloss in New York City mixed with Baie Rose.

There's the look! While this isn't quite a look for the faint of heart, if you're looking for a change- this definitely fits the bill! It's fun, it's glittery and sparkly, and you'll get lots of compliments for certain!

Thanks for stopping by as always!

There you have it! The look is quick and simple!
Wear it to work (with lighter lips), and darken up the lips for a sexy evening style!

On My Face:

Nivea Soft Moisturizing Cream

e.l.f. Complexion Perfection

e.l.f. Concealer (over blemishes) & Highlighter (applied to cheekbones)

Another sports team has been created!

Well, on my eyes at least! This latest request comes from Melanie and Paola, and is dedicated to Lexi! Whilst orange and teal are colors that certainly don't look attractive together (think of their uniforms... eek!) they certainly can, and will, work on the eyes!

So here we go.... Grabbing a few colors, we paint with our brushes! Priming your eyes before putting on shadows helps for a number of reasons:

1. The colors stay put

2. There is no creasing

3. Minimal blending of colors (where they meet, if not blended together)

4. No "runny" makeup- as in melting off your face

This is great, especially taking into consideration where you watch football games:
1. A Stadium

2. A Sports Bar (21+ only please!!)

3. Your living room

There are various factors which come in to play in each setting which could help your makeup run off your face unless... Namely, your eye shadows.

Stadiums- they can be indoors or out. If you're out, you hope you don't get rained out.... Snowed out... Or even worse- furnace blasting hot, converting your once perfect face into a melting waxy mess of color. Bad bad bad! When you apply foundation which is liquid based, always finish by setting your makeup with a translucent or High Definition powder. This locks your carefully created porcelain finish into staying that way. The same thing goes for eye shadows- the eyelid primer you use essentially locks your eye colors in place. And, of course, always use waterproof mascara if you're going to be outside or at a bar- you never know when it's going to rain... Or when a beer fight's gonna break out.

Now that we have the ground rules established, see how to create the look below!

Face Off:

Nivea Soft Moisturizing Cream

e.l.f. Concealer

Too Faced Illuminating Foundation in London Fair

e.l.f. High Definition finishing powder

The Eyes Have It:

Moi Minerals Cosmetics Mineral Eye Shadow in Drifter.
Orglamix Cosmetics Mineral Eye Shadows in Mandarin and Vanilla Birthday Cake
Wet 'N Wild Kohl Eyeliner Pencil in Black
WNW Gel/Creme Eyeliner in Black
WNW MegaLength Mascara in Black


Finishing the Look:
e.l.f. Super Glossy Lip Shine in Candlelight


There you have it- knockout team colors Eye Look for the Miami Dolphins!
This one's for you Lexi!

Thanks for stopping by and checking it out!

Let's hear it for purple, orange and white! Yes, they can be worn together! And I show you how!

This was a request from Relynn over on my Facebook Page where I asked anyone interested to post their favorite Team Names and Colors in the Forum found underneath the "Discussions" Tab. I'm going to try and do these in order, so if there are multiple teams- what I'm going to do is one first, then go to the next person's inquiry, and then perhaps come back every few teams or so.... Just to be fair!

Anyways- if you want to see your team colors in a color combination on my eyes, go leave your info! Clemson University Football here we come! I dove in with three of the best representative colors in my collection that can easily be had- and they're listed below. In addition, I'm using brushes from e.l.f. which include the "C" Brush, the Blending Brush, The Crease Brush, and The Small Precision Brush.

Bright and bold colors, but subtle enough that it's not over the top for drama factor. This is one combination I just might end up wearing one day because I feel like it- the colors made my eyes really pop and I love how they shimmered and sparkled. Let's get to the good stuff!!

Face Off:

Nivea Soft Moisturizing Cream

e.l.f. Complexion Perfection

e.l.f. Concealer

Too Faced Illumination Foundation Wand in London Fair

With all that done- I'm ready for the chips and dip! How about you??

Get the Look - Iridescent Bubbles Upon My Eyes

I remember being a kid, and getting a new bottle of bubbles each summer. I'd sit in the sunshine in my backyard, and try to make the biggest one possible with my little wand. Careful concentration, along with quick breaths were key.... And before you knew it, I'd have a sparkling, shimmering bubble reflecting all sorts of rainbow colors in the sunlight.

For a while, I was so enamored with them, during a trip to a Science Museum, I stayed at the bubble table while everyone continued on. Finally realizing I wasn't with them, one of the chaperons came back and found me still playing. Lucky for me, I didn't get into trouble. I was mesmerized with the tiny bubble clumps, each one having a different iridescent reflection- but all of them with the same colors. To me, they were magic. They still are!
 

 

When my friend Mary posted this song to my profile, along with a request to do create a look which was light, airy and colorful. This is also one of my favorite songs, from one of my all time favorite movies! I mean come on- what girl wouldn't want a pair of ruby red, glittery shoes?




I scooped up some colors, and quickly got to work. A little color here, a little color there... And soon upon my eyes danced the same colors one would find when looking at the surface of a bubble! I think out of all my looks, this one is one of my top 5. It just reminds me so much of being a kid- and sitting in the sun blowing bubbles. Or even better- near a bubble machine, so as they popped out into the air, they felt like butterflies alighting on your skin as they popped.

 

For a little extra shine, I glued on a 2mm and a 4mm crystal on the inner and outer corners of my eye. With the application of fantasy lashes in magenta, it really upped the look to the next level of pretty. More glitter, more sparkle- gotta love it! Of course, if worn to work you wouldn't want to add the extra glitteries and lashes.... But for a night out, or a Halloween look.... You can't go wrong!

 

In order to blend the colors, you want to make sure you have a fluffy brush that will not wipe all the color off your lids. If the brush is too dense, it will do such. By using a fluffy brush, it will evenly distribute the colors and gradually blend the colors out softly without wiping it off completely. The brush I'm using is from e.l.f. and is the Blending Brush. You can also use the e.l.f. Crease Brush to blend- however, it's considerably smaller than the blending brush, so it may take a little more time to achieve the soft gradient blends. As with any look, if a color goes on too sheer- blend it out as if it were the color you wanted. Go back for a little bit more, and continue alternating between the blending and adding color until you achieve the pigment you want.

Remember- have fun!

On My Face:

Nivea Soft Moisturizing Cream

e.l.f. Concealer

Physicians Formula: Organics Mineral Foundation in Translucent

e.l.f. High Definition Powder

Ulta lipliner in Nude

e.l.f. Luscious Liquid Lipstick in Perfect Pink

Hope you're inspired by the bubbly-goodness and sparkles! Love, sunshine and magic await!

Second up for the Sports Team series is one of my hometown teams: The Boston Bruins! Now I caught a lot of flak for not doing one of the Mass. teams first off, but whatever.... I promised it would be the second! And of course, since hockey season is starting to gear up- I had to get this one done! Woo-hoo!

It's time for Black, Gold & White! I haven't been to a game yet... But soon I tell you, soon! There's nothing like sitting in the stands at a rink, freezing your patootie off. Cold fingers, keeping them burrowed into your pockets in some attempt to keep them warm. I digress.

Hopefully, this look will come in handy-dandy when my sister and a few of her friends take the trek to see the team again this coming December 2010. I'm so jealous! But it's alright- I'm the one that came up with this look! [laughs]

The cosmetics I'm using are from My Beauty Addiction, and definitely a worthy combination for the Bruins! In my entire collection of mineral makeup, these were the perfect colors for me to use.

Highly pigmented, Pot 'O Gold absolutely jumps off your eyes and screams "look at me!!!", and as for the Chrome- well, you might as well have peeled it off a nice bumper. It's highly reflective, and bright! Storm is a deliciously dark and sparkly shadow which blends out to a beautiful soft black, and the last touch is pearl, which looks just like some crushed up dainty shimmers. Are you ready for some hockey!?!

The Face Off:

Nivea Soft Moisturizing Cream

e.l.f. concealer

MBA Shadow Poxy Eye primer- all over lid, and on the bags under my eyes

Physicians Formula: Organics Mineral Foundation in Translucent

e.l.f. High Definition Powder

Orglamix Cosmetics Mineral Eye Shadow in Baie Rose used as Blush
e.l.f. Minty Lip Gloss in New York City

 

The Eyes Have It:

My Beauty Addiction Mineral Eye Shadows:
Pot 'O Gold
Storm
Chrome
Pearl

So here's to all you Bruins fans! I hope you like the look!

It's official!

I've started a compilation of teams from you, my awesome fans, who have left comments about what colors you'd like to see done as a makeup look. So, raiding my extensive collection of colors- I'll be putting some fabulous looks together for you!!! If you'd like to see your own team done, click here to leave a comment with your team and their colors. I'll be going through the requests as they're left- so if you plan on keeping me busy, this will do it. LOL

First up to kick us off is a Hockey Team. (Yay! Go hockey! I love it almost as much as Football!)
This entire idea was kicked off and inspired by Cindy B who requested a look to wear to a game. In turn, that got the wheels in my head spinning and I figured.... Why not?! Everyone leave your team and colors!

I digress. Sorry, I'm easily distractible. I'm sure you're used to it by now, right?

Back on track. The Montreal Canadiens are the first team up on the table. Or if you want to get technically correct, will soon be out on the ice! Ha ha ha! To put together this look, I used three different shadow colors for my eyes, and one as an eyeliner darkener. Royal Bleu, Red and White! This is what resulted:






I hope you all enjoyed this tutorial- I have a feeling my kittens are gonna be crawling everywhere soon.... Looking forward to that considering they're so dang cute! They were all over my legs during the filming of this video! Hope you don't mind!

What's on my face:

Nivea Soft Moisturizing Cream
E.L.F. Complexion Perfection
E.L.F. Concealer
Physician's Formula: Organics Mineral Foundation

Orglamix Cosmetics Mineral Eye Shadow Colors:
Vanilla Birthday Cake
Saffron
Blueberry
Midnight

Finishing the Eyes:
Wet 'N Wild Kohl Eyeliner Pencil in Black and White
WNW MegaLength Mascara in Black

On my lips I'm wearing E.L.F. Luscious Liquid Lupstick in Caramel Candy for a little shine- and maximum moisturizing. It's awesome!

I hope you all enjoy, and I'll be seeing you with the next video shortly!
