Fairytale Series: Princess and the Frog

So today I have the second installment in the my fairytale series. Todays look is a little more understated then the last, they'll probably vary in how wearable they are. For this I wanted to focus on a lilly pad motif, and greens and purples. More of the feel of the story than a direct interpretation.

After doing my foundation and concealer (run of the mill, nothing fancy) I put a eyeshadow primer all over my eye area. Then I took a white cream base and patted it on my my eyelid. Then I took a mint green and applied it over the white base. With a medium blue green shade on a pencil brush I ran it through my socket and then went out and made a curved V for the shape of my eyeshadow. Then I blended the green down to fill in my inter crease. From the outer corner I went down angle that matched the top and then pulled in, and blended it into the the outer third under my eye. Then I blended a purple into the center of my lower lash line. Then with black gel eyeliner and an angled brush, I made a small curved wing. Then I gave my upper and lower lashes a good coat of black mascara. Then I filled in my eyebrows normally.

For my blush I blended a plum gel blush into the apple of my cheeks, then powdered over it a little so it wasn't as intense. Then I applied a lavender lipstick to finish off the look.

Happy St. Patricks Day!

Hello lovelies, how's everyone today? I'm pretty alright myself. =) I must admit, I'm not super into St. Patrick's day. Just not my thing, even though I am actually super Irish. But I wanted to do a fun look for  you guys today because its one of the few days you can get away with this kind of stuff! If you'd like a more grown up/ normal green look I have a few here.

I started on the rainbow and I recommend doing the same. (That way you can just take that off if you mess up!) First put down eye shadow primer all over the area that you'll be using. Then take a white pencil of white base and map out the area for your rainbow and cloud. I took a picture of this for you.

Like that! I changed the shape of the bottom a little afterward.

Then you want to go in with your rainbow colors with small flat liner brushes. You don't need a brush for each color, but I do recommend having at least two. One for warm colors, the other for cool. Take your time and try to get the stripes even. Don't blend too much and stop at the top of the cloud. Once your done with the rainbow set your white cloud base with matte white eyeshadow. This'll keep it from smearing, and makes it look fluffier. To add a little more definition  to my cloud I took a pale blue on a small brush and added some detail. That wasn't so hard! =)

Now for the lids. You could go all out but I didn't want to overpower the cloud. If you have green eyeliner just use that and make a nice cat eye shape. I used that same white base and green eyeshadow on an angled brush. It works out fine but takes a little extra time. After that I took gold glitter eyeliner and took it right under the green eyeliner. Because hell yeah gold glitter. Then I added black eyeliner to my waterline. On my lower lashline I added a bit of gold eyeliner, but its not showing up too well. Then I finished off with lots of mascara. You could also add some falsies, I think winged ones would be fun.

For lips I just added some pink tinted lip balm, I didn't want too much going on there with out being nude. and Now your done!

Blue Green Look!

I want to start this post by berating myself for being lazy and not posting enough. I've been crazy busy... but thats still no excuse! So anyway I've been doing brighter looks lately because I hate winter, and this is another one! This look uses some stuff I've recently gotten, but the main pont was to use some products that have been gathering dust in my makeup collection. So I hope you like the look!

So I started out with primer all over my eye (Shocking I know!), and then I took a shimmering lime green and applied it to the inner third of my eye lids. Then I took a turquoise eyeshadow and patted it on the center of my lid. It wasn't blending into a nice enough gradient with the lime for me, so I added a bit of a slightly blue toned medium green and used it to transition the two colors. Then taking a dark emerald shade, I deepened my crease and extended my eyeshade out a little into a point. Then bringing it down I smudged the emerald into the outer third of my eye. I really loved the colors in this look so I kept the liner minimal, just on my upper water line. Then I added black mascara and did my brows.

After my eye makeup I put on foundation and concealed under my eyes. No blush on this one, but I added a little light golden cream highlighter to my cheeks.

For lips I just added a little plum tinted lip balm, to add a little color without competing with my eye makeup.

Products Used:

Eyes: Urban Decay Primer Potion, Nyx Ultra Pearl Pigment in Grass, Sleek Turquoise Color (Orignal Palette), Lime Crime Jade O Lade (Chinadoll Palette), Urban Decay Loaded Eyeshadow, Urban Decay 24/7 Liner in Perversion, Benefit They're Real! Mascara, Mac Brow Creme Fluidline in Redhead, Nyx Brow Cake in Red.

Face: (I totally forgot what foundation I used XD),  Bobbi Brown Concealer in Porcelain Peach, Benefit Watts Up! Highlighter.

Lips: Korres Plum Lip Butter.

Hope you guys liked this look, it was fun to do and gave my Grass Pigment and Sleek Orignal Palette a little love. =)

Halloween Series: Forest Nymph

Well I'm back for the third installment of my Halloween series, and this week I'm doing a wood nymph look. Its very pretty, and very very easy. I'm using some fantastically long Sugarpill lashes for this look but use whatever length you're comfortable with!

Startled Nymph!

After applying BB cream and eye primer I took a peachy colored eyeshadow I used it all over my lids and brow bone. Then with a wet angled brush I took a medium green color and lined my lids with it. Take the same green and gently work it into your crease. Then take a medium brown and blend it just into the corner of the green. Apply a little black mascara, if you're not using lashes you're done! This is where I applied my fantastic lashes, and batted them dramatically lots.

Now taking bronzer I contoured lightly around the edges of my face and under my cheek bones. Then I added a little bit of a peachy flush right above the contour, and dusted highlight on top of that.

On to my foresty head thing. Using the sides of my liner brush for a straight edge, I took a brush with light brown eyeshadow down the side flipped it to the other side, and made a triangle. Then I filled in the triangle with my bronzer. After that I made the little vines with green eyeshadow and a liner brush and applied a green sequin with a tiny amount of eyelash glue. Then to finish off the look I applied a neutral pink lipgloss and called it good. However I think a green, blue, or brown lip could also look super cool!
