Slowburning Chaos

I've been playing with Urban Decay's Electric Palette & I created a little pictorial for those of you who are a little stuck on how to get all these crazy colors workin' for you.

Soft Purple & Gold Cut-Crease

Smokin' Rose

So at our counter meeting we got a quick rundown of what is being done BTS at fashion week.  One of the tips I picked up was using loose pigments on other areas of the face besides the eyes.  I have used pigments on my lips and cheek bones, but I never thought about mixing them with my foundation.  I am LIVING for this new technique!  Check out how much more radiant my skin looks as opposed to when I use golden elixer.

Vegas Volt

The best part of makeup is there is no wrong way to do it or use it (unless the packaging specifically says so, duh)

I posted this video on instagram a while ago showing how I used MAC's Vegas Volt lipstick as a shadow base.  Take a look at the final results:

IMATS Haul!

Happy Friday everyone!

Last weekend I attended the IMATS in NYC & it was one of the best experiences ever.  

Soft Rocker Look

Hi there,

Here's another old look I did, a softer side to rock.  Here it is:

I'm LIT like a christmas tree!

Welcome back my pretties, 

This post has nothing to do with Christmas & EVERYTHING to do with LIT cosmetics.

Kristin Ways Fashion Show

Hello Lovies, 

A few weeks ago I was contacted by Kristin Ways on Model Mayhem to help out with a fashion show she was orchestrating on Long Island.  If you don't already know, Model Mayhem is an AMAZING networking site for models, MUAs, photographers & pretty much anyone involved in the modeling industry.  If you are a freelance MUA you definitely need an account.  I've met so many amazing people already.  If you do already have an account, come add me MM#2875249.  But enough about that.

Kardashian Khroma Lash Review: Glimmer

Hello my pretties, 

As promised I've got another Khroma lash review for you!  These are the Glimmer lashes.

New Years Eve Look

Hello my beauties, 

I'm sorry for being away, I've just been busy trying to get work as a MUA & it's been pretty time consuming.  I've already done two fashion shows and a photo shoot and have another scheduled for this weekend.  If you want to see any photos from those events check them out here on my Facebook page.  

While I was gone I wrapped up my first giveaway ever.  Don't kick rocks if you didn't win, I'll be hosting others in the future.  I also hit 100 followers which is AMAZING!  Thank you everyone for the support & kind words, it really helps keep me motivated.

Now enough of my rambling & let's get to the makeup, shall we?

Garland

Hello my beauties, 
Sorry I've been MIA, I've been so, so busy with my job & side gigs as a MUA.  I wanted to quickly share with you guys another holiday look I put together a few weeks ago.  Let's get to it!

Sorcery

Welcome back my lovies,

I created this look the night I picked up two new MAC shadows; Sorcery & Haux, and was a little board, so enjoy!.

I wanted to try and used only MAC shadows & I think I did except for one.  Check out the products I used below!

Smokey Eye Tutorial

Hello my beauties, 

Today I have another pictorial for you.  A lot of friends, family & followers have asked how I do my basic smokey eye & my steps are really very simple.  For the most part I always start the same way & it's how I finish up the look that makes it unique so keep reading on if you wanna learn a super fast way to do this!     

Kardashian Khroma Lash Review: Scintillate

I'm not a huge fan of the Kardashian Empire, though "Keeping Up" with them is my guilty pleasure at times, but when I heard the girls were launching their own cosmetic line I knew I would definitely be trying out one product for sure, their lashes.  

Kourtney, Kim & Khloe always have rockin' lashes & I knew that their line's would be just as long, voluminous, & dramatic.  I browsed their section for about 10 minutes, but I had immediately fallen in love with their Scintillate lashes.

My First Giveaway! (CLOSED)

Hi everyone, 

I'm really excited about this post, because at the end of it I'll be giving back to one of my lucky followers!  So keep reading on!

I started my blog a year ago in December & I thought it was just going to be one of those things that I started & would never follow through with, but it's really grown into something really meaningful for me.  My family & friends are supportive of my passion for cosmetic art, but they don't fully understand it.  Blogging has been a way for me to meet some truly amazing guys & gals who have inspired & encouraged me to pursue my dreams & my craft & for that I couldn't be more thankful.

Black Dahlia

Hey everyone!

I'm back again with another Halloween look.  I've been watching to do something different, especially from what everyone else is doing.  It seems that everyone is whippin' up sugar skulls & Poison Ivies left & right & it's hard to be original when you're bombarded with all these things.  I've also been wanting to practice SFX makeup so I just thought the Black Dahlia would be something original.

Lana Del Rey Inspired

Hey lovies, 
Ayyy, I've had this look in my folder ready to be posted (along with about a dozen others) for weeks.  I've just been so lazy; then busy; then sick, but here it is my Lana Del Rey inspired look:

It's not an exact replica, but I came pretty close lol.  

Navy

I read a while ago that Navy is one of this Fall's hot colors & since I don't really like how it looks on me I thought I'd force myself to try it. Here's my look

Bejeweled

Hi my lovely follower, 
Just wanted to share a quick look I created a few weeks ago.  If you follow me on instagram you're probably bored with my blog because my looks go up there weeks before they make it here lol.  This isn't a full face look because it was a work day & as you know I don't wear much besides shadow & liners to work.

Natural light

LOTD With Some Drama

A few weeks ago I created this look of the day:

I really loved it, it was super plain, but still really pretty at the same time.  I used MAC's Orb on the lid & kid & cork int the crease, NYC liquid liner & Maybelline On-by-one mascara & finished off the look with Elf's natural lash kit.
