Taupe Nails & Colorful Eyes

It has been a while since I did a colorful look. As the years passed I became more uncomfortable wearing bright colors. I feel too much e/s colors are for the young ones and I being in my mid 20's, and a mom to a 3 year old, feel that neutrals are more suited for me. This is my first time to do this look and I really like it. :) I wouldn't be caught wearing it in public though... As soon as I was done taking pics, I immediately took the makeup off. =p

Products Used:

1. MAC "Soft Ochre" (base) 2. Skin Food "Cookie" (inner corners) 3. MAC "Aquadisiac" (middle lid) 4. YSL Ombre Solo Double Effect "2" (outer lid) 5. Sephora Color Play Palette "Plum" (crease) 6.

NOTD

NYX "The Taupe"

I know, I know, my cuticles and hands are really dry. Winter just started a couple of days ago so my skin is currently dry all over. But I am loving this nail color so much! It's perfect for this season! :)

I really like the photos I took on this blog entry. What do you guys think? :) I will try to post nice photos from now on. I don't think people will want to read a blog with crappy pics especially a beauty blog, right? :)

Happy hump day to my international readers and happy weekend to my gulf readers. :)

Love,

TUTORIAL: Smokey Blues

It's been a while since I played with my coastal scents 78 palette, and the colors I mostly used are the neutral ones. I've had this palette for years and the blues have remain untouched so I decided to use it and do a smokey blue look.

Coastal Scents 78 palette (royal blue and black)

NYX jumbo pencil in electric blue

NYX glitter eye liner in disco ball 02

1. FACE: Put on foundation, concealer, and loose powder on under eye to catch fall outs

4. Apply the black e/s from the 78 palette on the outer V and crease area

5. Blend the black with any nude matte colored e/s and also apply the nude color up to the brow bone.

6. Apply a shimmer nude or white e/s on the inner corners of the eye and on the brow bone. Line your eyes with a black eyeliner, and above it, line your eyes with the glitter eyeliner. Curl your lashes and apply mascara and falsies, I used ELF false eye lashes.
