More tutorials are coming really soon. Just finished up a Jpop tutorial, Kpop tutorial, another prom tutorial, and about to start my next videogame vixen hopefully with a guest star. :) Got my Facebook fanpage up in case you all want to follow me on there and see what's coming up next as well as a Tumblr for you all to see what goes on in my life.
Don't forget to vote in the poll everyone! This is your chance to choose what spring flower you'd like to see get turned into a tutorial. Until next time!
Wow that was fast, right? Hello again everyone! I decided to do a bunch of posts this week. Why? My boyfriend will be coming home for Spring Break tomorrow and after Friday I will pretty much be distraced with him plus I want to catch up on my sleep. Lack of sleep = bad skin and darker shadows under eyes.
So here is another makeup tutorial inspired by the talented Goto Maki! I really like her music especially since she coming out of her pop idol image and growing into a true artist. As for her image, I have to say I love her with red hair (one of the reasons why I used to dye it red in my freshman year of college.....just saying) as well as her senese of fashion. She is becoming more sophisticated and less teeny bopper. Her song Houseki on her ONE mini-album is my absolute fave. Her outfit in the video and when she performed on live TV are what inspired me to use jewel toned colors for this look.
If the video doesn't start up immediately, just give it some time to load.
Products used in this tutorial:
NARS Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base
Clinique concealer in 05 Medium Beige
bare Minerals foundation powder in Summer Bisque Smashbox Brow Tech & Cream Eye Liner Palette
Ulta eyeshadow kit (matte purple, dark purple/plum, silver, and shimmering white)
Victoria Secret's eyeshadow in Blindfold Ulta gel eyeliner in Plum Smashbox Lash DNA mascara
Victoria Secret's lipgloss in Toy
Ulta blush in Tickle Me Pink
Start with a freshly cleansed and moisturized face. Use concealer to cover any dark spots as well as dark shadows under the eyes and the edges of your nose and mouth. Use foundation to set your face then fill in your brows with either an eyebrow pencil or eyebrow powder. Now moving on to eyeshadow, take a silver eyeshadow and apply to the inner corners of your eyes. Next, take a matte purple and apply to the middle of your eye. This will serve as a base. Now take a lilac color and apply it over the matte purple. Be sure to blend the silver and lilac colors together to remove any harsh lines. Take a dark purple and apply to the outer V, making sure to blend the colors together for a smokey effect. With the shimmering white, apply to the inner corners of your eyes to give off the appearance of bigger eyes.
With an eyeliner brush, load it up with a plum gel eyeliner and line the upper portion of your eyes. Curl your lashes afterwards and apply on your favorite mascara. It's best to use a mascara that gives your eyes more volume. Take a pink blush and apply to the apples of your cheeks. To find then just smile :) See your cheekbones? Those are the apples of your cheeks. Finally, apply a pink lipgloss to your lips to finish the look. Now you're finished :)
Here is the finishing look:
Have fun with this look and also play with your wardrobe to complement it. Here is an outfit that I created to go with this look for spring:
Clothes:
Dress from Urban Outfitters (size 0)
Shirt from Forever 21 (size sm)
Shoes by Fergalicious from Burlington's Coat Factory (shoe size 7 1/2)
Hello everyone! Here is another makeup tutorial for all of those who love bright, glittery, and punked out colors. This look was inspired by the song Break It from Namie Amuro's 35th single Break It/Get Myself Back. The colors actually came from the background of her single:
I actually listened to a remix of Namie's song I found on Youtube. Really set the mood while I played around with my makeup. Here is the link below in case you all wanted to hear it.
Tools used for this look:
Clinique concealer in 05 Medium Beige
bare Minerals foundation powder in Summer Bisque Smashbox Brow Tech & Cream Eye Liner Palette
Smashbox Lash DNA mascara Victoria’s Secret Mosaic Blush in In Lust
Victoria's Secret Lipstick in Kiss Me
Forever 21 glitter lip gloss in pearl pink
As always, you want to start off with a clean and moisturized face.Use concealer to hide dark circles and dark spots on your face then use a foundation powder to set the concealer.
Using an eyebrow pencil 2-3 shades lighter than your natural hair color, fill in your brows. Now use a bright shimmering silver eyeshadow and apply to the inner corners of your eyes. Afterwards, use a hot pink eyeshadow and apply to the middle of your eyes. Afterwards use a plum eyeshadow and apply to the outer V (aka the outer corners) of your eyes. Blend the colors together to remove any harsh lines. Now take a glittery black eyeshadow and line the outer corners of your eyes (1/3 to be exact). Lightly soften the color with a blending brush.
Now take your eyeliner brush and using a black gel eyeliner, line the upper lip of your eye. This is optional: if you are going to a club or a party and you want your eyes to be more dramatic, line 2/3s of the bottom lid of your eyes with a black eyeliner pencil. Softly blend the color out to make it smokey. Then line the top lid of your eyes with the eyeliner pencil and blend the color out. Once finished, curl your lashes and apply your favorite mascara. You can also use falsh eyelashes in case you need that extra umph. :) I would recommend using the Ardell Fashion Lashes Starter Kit for this part.
Time to focus on the rest of your face. Take a light rosy pink blush and apply to the apples of your cheeks. For your lips, use a pink lipstick (preferably one with a bit of glitter) and apply to your lips. Use a pink lip gloss with a pinch of glitter in it for the finishing touch.
And here is the finished look:
I also created an outfit of the day just to go with this look. I think it suits the makeup very well. :) What do you guys think?
Clothes Used in this Look:
Pleather jacket from Forever 21 (size small)
Tube top from Wet Seal (size small)
Black skinny jeans from Forever 21 (size small)
Laced up ankle boots from Rainbow (size 7)
I really hope you all enjoyed this look. I'll definitely be posting up more tips and tricks for you real soon. Stay tuned for the next post folks! <3
