Mac's prep + prime is now a must have for me, especially in the summer time. After I noticed my face was melting at a fast rate, I just knew I had to do something. Previously I had been using "Get Even" by benefit, which had amazing coverage but did nothing to control oil. My aunt, a die hard MAC fan, recommended this for me. So I tried it out and was amazed at how long my makeup lasted! Usually I have to touch up my face every 2 hours(on a good day) after using this to set my makeup, I didn't have to touch up my makeup for the rest of the day. This is now an essential in my makeup collection. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Some reasons why I love this powder:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- <b>Absorbs excess oil</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- <b>Does not leave a cakey finish, as it is see through.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- <b>Keeps makeup fresh all day</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- <b>looks more natural then using a high coverage setting powder</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- <b>One shade works universally for all skin tones</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- <b>Can be worn on its own on top of moisturized skin, or on top of foundation</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>-Reduces the look of lines, pores, blemishes, and other imperfections</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>- Smooth, silky texture. </b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a new twist on the usual cool toned smokey eyes. This is a beautiful warm look that is flattering on all skin tones and eye colors, and would be perfect for a special event or first date. </div>

Take a coral/orange color and work this into the crease and outer corner of the eye.<br />
Here I am using "Coral Crush" by Too Faced cosmetics. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Now take a shimmery brown color and foil it with some water or fix+ spray and apply this along the lid and lashline. This really helps the colors look more bold and also keeps them from fading. Think of it like watercolors.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here I am using "chocholate sun" by Too Faced cosmetics.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next take a gold color and highlight the inner corner. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now just add the final touches such as mascara and eyeliner. I like this look with dark black eyeliner but if you wanted this to be more wearable for daytime you could simple use brown eyeliner to give the lashes a fuller look. </div>

Ever since I was little I loved leopard print.. I was obsessed with Lisa Frank. I guess I still am obsessed ;) I love my leopard print scarves, bags, nails, all of it. I thought this tutorial really expresses my makeup style and is really fun and edgy. I hope you enjoy trying out this makeup look. </div>

Using an ultra fine liquid liner, start creating the small leapard prints by creating small "C" shapes. Create as many as you like depending on how dramatic you want the look to be. You can bring it all the way up to the brow bone, bring it to the lower lash line, whatever you like :)<br />

I'm moving to San Francisco! I'm going to school for esthetics and I could not be more excited about living in such a beautiful city. I've only been to it once but that was long enough to know I am going to love it. After I bought my plane ticket it became so real to me that this is actually happening. Yes, I am feeling nervous because its such a huge change but I don't want to live with regrets. I am surrounded by loving and supportive people and I am so grateful for that. Feeling so blessed. </div>

Brittany... I wanted to do something with my life in your memory. I can feel you telling me to go for this and to never be afraid. I remember you giving me makeup lessons. But you taught me how to be beautiful on the inside too. You had a beautiful heart and truly enjoyed life. I hope one day I can live like you did so naturally. I will never forget you no matter where I go. You will forever be in my heart and I will always treasure what we had together. Just because you are in heaven, doesn't mean you aren't my sister still. I will always have three sisters, but you are my angel sister. One day we will be reunited and we can do our silly dances again. I'm so lucky to know you. You were a blessing to this world and you left it a better place then it was before you came.<br />

So I never tried any MAC products before because I because I usually go straight to the "Too Faced" goodies when I'm shopping. I am a makeup "creature of habit" I guess LOL. My sweet aunt gave me a gift card so I decided to try some products out. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got <b>fix plus</b>, mineralize skinfinish in "<b>soft and gentle</b>" and a few different eyeshadow colors like <b>goldmine</b>(rich gold), <b>soba</b>(gorgeous crease color), <b>saddle</b>(matte brown), <b>auburn lights</b>(highly pigmented copper) and <b>cranberry</b>. I also decided to try <b>viva glam GAGA :D</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In many cases I do feel like you get what you pay for. After trying these out the colors apply so smooth and last for so long. I love that the MAC eye-shadows have no fall out. What's your favorite MAC product? <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Pros...</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>-Natural looking</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i> -Non-cakey finish</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i> -Has a pump</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i> -Is lightweight </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>-Does not cause breakouts </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>- Smooth and silky looking</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Cons....</b><br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>- Not enough coverage in my opinion</i><i> </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<i>- Does not last long on Oily skin, even when set with powder.</i><br />
<br />
<i>- Won't cover blemishes or flaws. A lot of times I mix this with "Amazing concealer" by amazing cosmetics for extra coverage. This is what I am wearing in the photo above. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<i>- pricey! </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Would I buy this again?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes! I've actually gone through about three of these so far. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>What skin types is this product best for?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Normal to dry skin, with minimal coverage needed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> How long does this product last on your skin?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Around 2 hours, after that I need to grab my blotting papers and pressed powder.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>How is the coverage?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

This can be good or bad depending on your taste but it takes a lot of
product to create high coverage. It is build-able, but i find myself
running out of this quickly because I prefer a more flawless high coverage look. But some might like the sheer
lightweight look(the lucky ones with perfect skin ;) </div>

Dark circles are a pretty common issue. They can be caused by several things such as not getting enough sleep, hereditary factors, food allergies, or even just having thin skin around the eye area. This tutorial is going to show you how to cover up dark circles without it settling into fine lines throughout the day.<br />

Everyone's dark circles are different. Some only appear at the inner corners of the eye, some extend all the way across. By tilting your head down, the purple and blue hues show up better and you can see the major areas that you will need to apply the most coverage. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Take a corrector concealer that has orange/peach based tone. The orange and peach tones cancel out the purple color that dark circles are typically characterized by. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

Now take a concealer brush and apply the concealer to the parts of the eyes that need the most coverage. After you have applied enough, take your ring finger and gently pat the color to blend. Do not rub, as this ruins the coverage created.</div>

We all know how annoying it is when our concealer goes into those little lines around the eyes. In order to prevent this what you'll want to do is take a large fluffy brush and some translucent powder and sweep on top of the concealer to set it. This also helps give an extra boost of coverage. </div>

Ok, I am a neutral girl for sure but sometimes it is really fun to experiment with bold colors. I will say though that this can go wrong very easily. So here I am going to show you a few tips on how to wear blue eyeshadow, but these rules apply to using bold eye colors in general. Blue eyeshadow has a lot of haters, and for good reason. It is one of the hardest eyeshadow colors to wear. But with a few simple steps it can actually look quite nice! Keep reading if you love blue eyeshadow but don't want to look like you just got out of crazy town! Do not fear the blue eyeshadow... I will show you the way :) </div>

<br />
<br />
Take a flat brush and select a neutral color with pink undertones. Apply this color to the inner third of the eyelid. This is one of the keys to pulling off bolder colors, because it provides more dimension then applying one single color alone. It also helps the look become more subtle.<br />

Take a large fluffy blending brush and work a blue color into your crease and outer corner. Blend it upwards but do not bring it up too high or too far into the crease. You want to create a subtle pop of color.<br />

It should look like this so far. <br />
<br />

<br />
Now take a darker brown color and a smaller dense brush and work this into the outer corner. Keep this color lower then the blue eyeshadow because we want the brown to just barely peek out from the blue. <br />
<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
See how subtle the blue looks now? Simply adding the brown eyeshadow really takes away the harsh tone of the blue. For the next step, take a dark black eyeliner and create a winged line. <br />
<br />

Now for the face makeup- this is the most important part! Unless you were blessed without dark circles, lucky you, wear concealer under the eyes is a must for this look. Its also important to have a nude or rose based lip color and subtle blush/bronzer. Remember when you do makeup that there is always a focal point of the look- either the eyes or the lips. In this case we chose the eyes, so we are going to downplay the lips. I would reccomend using a bronzer as well- here I am using Benefit's "Hoola", a favorite of the moment. :)<br />

Hey everyone! I just wanted to quickly show you my makeup and hair I did today. I love when people do posts like this because it inspires me to try new things out. Today I did a pink nude lip which Ive been obsessed with lately called "Turkish Delight" from Nars cosmetics. I also added some white highlight to the inner corners of my eyes to brighten them up a bit and then cut some false lashes in half and put them on the outer corners of the eye. I love them because they are super subtle so if you apply them right you can fool a lot of people LOL! For the face I used high beam by benefit cosmetics to brighten my skin and give it a pretty "glowy" look. For my hair I used hot rollers from Conair, they are really great for creating volume. Anyway, I'm so sorry for the lack of posts Ive been super busy but plan on doing more tutorials soon. Have a lovely day! :) </div>

lashes. This look really makes your eyes pop and makes them look super

<br />
First
start off by defining the outer corners and lower lash line using a
matte brown shade with no shimmer. Here I'm using the color "buck" from
the Urban Decay "Naked Palette" Be sure it's well blended without any harsh lines.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Now, apply a very sheer light peach color to the inner third of the eye, and stopping where you applied the brown color. I'm using the color "peach fuzz" from too faced sweet dreams collection.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now
it's time for highlight. Apply a matte white eyeshadow to the inner
corners of the eyes, brow bone and also add a white eyeliner to the
waterline to open up the eyes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now curl your lashes to get them ready for mascara and false lashes.
It's really important to curl your lashes when you are applying false
lashes because it will help your natural lashes and the false ones blend together more naturally.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now get your falsies out! :) Go for natural looking ones for this look.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To apply false lashes </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
1.) If necessary, cut them so they fit your eye shape. You can see if
they fit by testing them out without glue on your lash line. If they
extend longer then your normal lashes, you should cut the false lashes
to make them shorter. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2.)
Take your lash glue and apply it to the band of the lashes. Wait a few
seconds for the glue to get tacky, then apply it as close to your
natural lashes as possible. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
3.) If your natural eyelashes go down naturally, it might be necessary to curl them again so they blend right. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4.)
Apply a light coat of mascara and apply a bit of liquid or gel liner on
the top lash line to hide any lash glue that might be showing.</div>

So this is one of those things I think all of us are guilty of at some point... I know I am! Somehow, at some point, I got the misconception that bronzer was made to re-color your entire face. So, I piled it on like there was no tomorrow. Thankfully, those days are over and I've accumulated some knowledge on the RIGHT way to get that sunkissed glow with out looking orange, streaky, and unnatural...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>In the photo above, i've done a bit of a dramatic version what bronzer shouldn't, but sometimes does, look like. The concealer under the eyes is too light, the bronzer is a cheap brand, and the application is completely off. And on the right picture, i've given her a sweet sunkissed glow that looks natural and blends with her body. She looks like shes glowing, but you can't really tell shes wearing makeup. In this post, i'm going to give you a tutorial on how to create this flawless look. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bronzer is designed to warm the face and give it depth and dimension. It also gives you a healthy glow without the harmful UVA/UVB rays of the sun that can cause all things from skin cancer to premature aging and sagging. After seeing <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4jgUcxMezM">this video</a> I was so moved. I really decided to change my habits about the sun and start wearing sunscreen.There is no reason to permanently damage your skin and risk your life when their are perfectly good alternatives.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bronzer does not have to look orange and streaky, and here I'm going to show you how to accomplish a beautiful natural look in a few easy steps. I hope you enjoy this tutorial. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GegesIcpQ1k/TvuvPjVZyMI/AAAAAAAAAhg/iM2p0ozqS5I/s1600/foundationbronzet.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="247" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GegesIcpQ1k/TvuvPjVZyMI/AAAAAAAAAhg/iM2p0ozqS5I/s320/foundationbronzet.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After you have done your skin care routine, apply foundation and concealer. The canvas (your face) you apply makeup
on has to be well cared for and all blemishes and dark circles must be
concealed. Bronzer tends to accentuate flaws and discolorations, so good
concealer is a must. Also, don't apply a concealer thats too light. You
want it to look natural. Concealer for under the eyes should be only 2
shades lighter then your normal skin tone, and for covering blemishes it should match the skin tone on your face. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-q7iv7adPpVM/Tvuvd6lrthI/AAAAAAAAAhs/egzG9myIeTE/s1600/sisterDSC09045.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-q7iv7adPpVM/Tvuvd6lrthI/AAAAAAAAAhs/egzG9myIeTE/s320/sisterDSC09045.JPG" width="301" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Set the foundation and concealer with a pressed powder. This will help your makeup to last longer and will prevent the bronzer from dragging and messing up the perfect canvas we've created. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sweep a bronzer onto the face in a 3 sweep motion. Application is so important. Here is a demonstration on the areas of the face that the sun would naturally hit and applying it on these areas will make the tan look more authentic.</div>

My cute little Japanese chin Martha wanted to get in the picture :) Also, here is the palette I'm using for this tutorial- its called "sweet dreams" by too faced. Best bronzer I've ever used hands down, with not the slightest trace of orange. All products used will be listed at the end of this tutorial if your interested.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Apply a coral blush color to the apples of the cheeks. To identify the apples of your cheeks, just smile! :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the finishing touch, apply a highlight color to the highest points of the face, such as the center of the chin, between the brows, upper cheekbone area, and bridge of the nose. This will really brighten up the face and give it dimension. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

A bronzey eye makeup tutorial in a few easy steps. Enjoy! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HCUsVUdvZIo/TvebJrpkrgI/AAAAAAAAAfo/w_Eze041Ark/s1600/joeebloody+babes1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HCUsVUdvZIo/TvebJrpkrgI/AAAAAAAAAfo/w_Eze041Ark/s320/joeebloody+babes1.jpg" width="180" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Using a fluffy brush, sweep a medium brown color onto the lid and bring it slightly past the crease of the eye and taper out the outer corner. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IcIxcBcMJAk/TvegVx3hyRI/AAAAAAAAAf0/I77wKNnJhUE/s1600/light+goldbloody+babes2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IcIxcBcMJAk/TvegVx3hyRI/AAAAAAAAAf0/I77wKNnJhUE/s320/light+goldbloody+babes2.jpg" width="180" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, take a small dense brush and highlight the inner corners and brow bone with a light shimmering gold color.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
For the next step take a flat brush and apply a copper color on the center of the lid.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fuQSYa1Kr_A/TveivO8GJTI/AAAAAAAAAgk/xeDMp2hwkqs/s1600/celebbloody+babes4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fuQSYa1Kr_A/TveivO8GJTI/AAAAAAAAAgk/xeDMp2hwkqs/s320/celebbloody+babes4.jpg" width="180" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
Now take a black color and a small dome brush and apply this color to the outer corners and on the lower lash line. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now apply black eyeliner to the upper lash-line and lower waterline. Apply mascara, and now the look is complete. This looks amazing with berry colored lip stick and bronzer. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial! <br />

This look is super easy and you can actually use any colors you like to create this makeup. I like to use silver and black because I think they look chic together, but feel free to experiment and just have fun! I hope you enjoy this tutorial :)<br />

First step... Take some tape (it doesn't matter what kind) and apply it slightly upwards. Before you put it on, stick the tape on your hand a few times so when you take it off later on it wont tug and pull on your eye as much.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Now take an ultra thin angled brush and some gel liner and create a wing. After you have finished the eyeliner, pull of the tape. I love using this tape method because you can get really messy but still end up with a very precise line which is essential for creating this look. You want it to be very neat. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
*TIP* If you don't have any gel eyeliner around, you can use eyeshadow and "foil" it instead. To foil eyeshadow, use a wet eyeshadow brush to apply to shadow of your choice in replacement of the eyeliner. Then simply follow the same instructions shown above. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now take another piece of tape and apply it under the black eyeliner. Angle it slightly downwards to create an edgier look. Now using the color eyeliner of your choice, take a clean angled brush and apply it above the tape. Keep it slightly shorter then the black eyeliner. Try not to make it too thick. </div>

This look is inspired by the purple and bronze colors seen in a beautiful sunset. This look is more dramatic, but can easily be toned town for an everyday look by adding less of the darker purple to the outer corners. I hope you like this tutorial, have fun!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

Sweep a light lilac color all over the lid and stop at the crease. Don't forget your primer potion to keep the colors lasting as long as possible. Here i'm using the color "cut the cake" by too faced. </div>

Sweep a medium purple color into the crease using a small dense brush. Once the color is saturated enough, flip the brush sideways and blend upwards to the brow bone. Be careful not to drag it up to high. You want to achieve a soft look without harsh lines. Here I'm using "party girl" by too faced</div>

Here i'm going to be displaying how to create a gorgeous olive and copper eye look. I love this eye makeup because i feel that the colors really compliment each other and are great for making the eyes stand out.<br />
<br />
<br />
Let's get started... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After you have applied your eye primer, select a matte flesh colored shadow similar to your skin tone and apply it all over the lid and blend up towards the crease. This will even out the eye area and give a smoother transition of light to dark colors. Here I'm using the color "naked" from urban decays naked palette.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now for this step, take a light champagne color and apply it on the lid, inner corner and brow bone. This step opens up the eyes and also highlights the highest points of the eyes, giving them more dimension. Here I'm using the color "sin" from urban decays ammo palette. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now take a bronze copper tone eye shadow and a blending brush and work this dolor into the crease of the eye and the outer corner of the eye. The color I used here is from "chopper" from urban decays ammo palette. </div>

Next, take a small, dome shaped brush and an olive green eye shadow and sculpt this color to the outer V of the eye. This color is called "mildew" from urban decays ammo palette. </div>

Happy holidays everyone! Here i'm going to be showing you a tutorial on a silver Smokey eye thats perfect for parties or special occasions but can also be toned down for an everyday look. I hope you enjoy this tutorial! :)</div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
First step... Apply a shimmering white eyeshadow to the inner corners of the eye. Use a small dome shaped brush, or a q-tip will work just as well. This really opens up the eyes and makes them stand out. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6ub61UVSFIqdBNy6bsCE4iPI1ooK2E5FOpUIKzLOR0ObHjq-XOhmWKX55bK_OqYY7AEaKypDZLKBPwXSF-lYO8N73VEiY9xMCGBRiU_0fTAD5pgFFch8TgEoDK0WaA96ZN3-uErI8Nx8/s1600/joooDSC08164.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="204" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6ub61UVSFIqdBNy6bsCE4iPI1ooK2E5FOpUIKzLOR0ObHjq-XOhmWKX55bK_OqYY7AEaKypDZLKBPwXSF-lYO8N73VEiY9xMCGBRiU_0fTAD5pgFFch8TgEoDK0WaA96ZN3-uErI8Nx8/s320/joooDSC08164.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now taking a flat shader brush, apply a shimmering silver eye shadow all over the lid and stop at the crease. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now select a smokey grey color and work it into the crease and outer corner. Remember not to take it to high up, its important to leave room for blending. Keep the color mostly saturated on the outer V, only dragging a very small amount into the crease. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this step, grab a blending brush and a medium brown color and apply this directly above where we applied the smokey gray color and blend it until their are no harsh lines. This helps with the color transition from dark to light and really ties all the colors together in harmony. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now it's time to add the finishing touches- eyeliner and mascara! I like to add a little wing on the end but that is optional. It's best to pair this look with a nude or baby pink lip. Remember, You can always customize this look to your liking. You can make it more more dramatic by adding some glam fake lashes or even tone it down a bit for a more everyday look by adding less gray to the crease and outer corners. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial! Wishing you a happy holiday season! </div>

After you have applied your lipstick like you normally would, take a piece of paper towel or tissue and rip it into a small piece and then fold it in half as shown. Take the folded the paper towel in half and place it over the mouth. Grab a powder brush and load it up with pressed, loose, or translucent powder and dab it onto the area where the lipstick is underneath. This absorbs the moisture from the lipstick making it last longer throughout the day. After you have applied the powder, take your lipstick and apply a second time. Now your lipstick should last much longer! </div>

And now for the face. First and foremost, always use a primer. In my opinion, two of the best ones on the market is smash box photo finish primer and benefits professional. A primer is used to absorb oil underneath the makeup and creates a barrier between the makeup and the skin. It is also used to create a smooth canvas and gets rid of roughness, discoloration, redness and most skin complaints. If you have good skin and don't need much coverage, primer can be worn all by itself. To use a primer with the rest of your makeup, simply apply it on the face first before applying the rest of your products like liquid foundation, and blush/bronzer.</div>

The next product I like to use throughout the day is blotting papers. Blotting papers are used to absorb oil on the face without ruining the makeup. These are really handy to keep in your bag for touch ups. My favorite ones are the Boscia blotting sheets because they have a really nice refreshing peppermint smell. One pack comes with 100 sheets so they will last a long time. To use, just take one sheet and press, dont rub, on to the T-zone area of your face which is the forehead, nose, and chin. </div>

Powder is essential to keeping the face matte and shine free throughout the day. Three forms of powder are pressed, loose, and translucent. These are used to set makeup after applying liquid foundation to keep it lasting throughout the day and is also used for touch ups. Translucent powder is a clear white powder that absorbs oil on the face without giving you a ghostly cast and is usually invisible so its a one shade fits all. Pressed powders are nice because they don't make a huge mess if you take it out for touch ups and provides a mattified finish to the face. Loose powder provides the same results but is messy and can get all over your clothes, so thats why I believe pressed powders are better. A good inexpensive brand of pressed powder is cover-girl clean pressed powder. They have a special formula for each skin type including sensitive, oily, and normal skin. If you can afford to splurge a little bit, Cargo Blu-ray high definition powder is one of the best out there in my opinion. Use a powder brush to apply. </div>

To get eye makeup to last all day its essential to use a good eyeshadow primer. This is not only good for keeping your eye shadow in place but also your eyeliner as well. It also intensifies the colors of the eye makeup. Eye primer is applied before any eye products including concealer and is used to keep eyeliner, eyeshadow, mascara, and concealer in place throughout the day and to keep from creasing. It also provides a smoother surface to work with and makes it easier to blend the colors applied. My favorite brand of eyeshadow primer is by urban decay. Too faced shadow insurance is also very good.</div>

Here I'm going to give you some tips on getting eyeliner to last. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First, before applying eyeliner to the waterline, take a clean Q-tip and run it along to soak up any moisture. Next, take your eyeliner and apply it like normal. After you have done so, take an ultra thin brush and saturate it in some eyeshadow that is the same color as the eyeliner applied. Here im taking a bold black eyeshadow and patting it over the gel liner applied to my waterline. The powder formula will set the eyeliner and keep it in place longer. Another tip for using eyeliner on the waterline is to use a gel eyeliner instead of a pencil. Pencil eyeliners to not hold up well on the waterline and the product collects on the inner corners of the eye very fast. Gel liners last all day even inexpensive ones like Maybelline eye studio gel liner. </div>

You may have found that throughout the day your eyeshadow falls onto your mascara. Whenever this happens, take a liquid liner and run it along the lashes to get them to appear black again. This will make a huge difference without clumping up your lashes like mascara. Here is a demonstration. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
First step. Concealer is so important to looking well rested. Conceal any dark circles around the eyes and apply an eye primer. After you have done so, apply a white or peach eyeliner to the waterline. This helps make the whites of the eyes extended more, giving the illusion of bigger wider eyes. Leave the inner corners without the white eyeliner because bringing the white too far can close off the eyes. For everyday, I recommend using peach eyeliner instead because it looks less fake and more natural especially for darker skin tones. If you want a good peach eyeliner that applies well to the waterline, I recommend Stila eyeliner in topaz which can be purchased at sephora. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
For this step, apply a sheer peach color all over the lid. It's important to use lighter colors when trying to create the illusion of bigger eyes because colors that are too dark will close off the eye making them look smaller. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next step, taking a dome shaped brush apply a medium brown color to the outer corners of the eye and on the lower lashline. Do not drag the color into the crease because that will close off the eye. Leaving the darkest color on the outer corners will help define the eyes and give them a rounded shape. </div>

Next, curl your lashes and apply mascara. This is the single most important step in creating the illusion of bigger eyes because curling the lashes makes the eyes look brighter by letting more light into the eyes and making the eyes look less droopy and more lifted and awake. This will also enhance your natural eye color because the shadow from your lashes will be gone, letting your eyes reflect more light. </div>

And the look is complete! Your eyes should look brighter, bigger, and more awake. Down below I have some tips for smaller eyes, I hope you enjoyed this tutorial! Good luck :)</div>

*DOS AND DON'TS FOR SMALL EYES*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
DO: Always apply concealer over dark circles. Dark circles make the eyes look sunken and dull, and by concealing them it will enhance the eye shape. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
DON'T: Apply dark eyeliner on the lower waterline, because doing so will make the eyes look smaller. Use white or peach eyeliner instead.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
DO: Use a mascara with a dry formula. If you use a mascara with a wet formula, it will cause your eyes lashes to droop quicker and won't hold a curl as </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
well as a dry formula. Lancome <span class="selected">Définicils </span>mascara will do the job. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
DO: Apply white or gold shimmer to the inner corners. This will help open the eyes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
DO: Apply matte white eyeshadow to the brow bone. This is important because doing so will draw attention to the highest point of your eyes, making the eyes look more lifted.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
DON'T: Underpluck your eyebrows. If your eyebrows are too close together or heavy, it can close off your eyes. Your brows should start where your inner tear-duct begins. </div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
<br />
The colors are very pigmented and beautiful. They are very easily blend-able and apply like butter but last all day long especially with the primer included. Seven of these eyeshadow included are Too Face's best selling shades, and the rest are brand new releases. All together you get fifteen eye-shadows.Their are lots of possibilities with this palette from everyday to glamorous bold looks. I am very impressed. All together, you get fifteen shadows. You also get a full sized shadow insurance primer which is amazing for keeping eyeshadow from creasing and smudging throughout the day. I would say its just as good as Urban Decays Primer Potion. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
Inside the pull out door, you also get a bunch more goodies! First you get a full size Chocolate Soliet bronzer, a rich matte bronzer that smells just like yummy chocolate. I love love love this bronzer, it's not orange or streaky and it looks really natural. It's also very good for contouring the cheekbones using an angled brush. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next, you get Candlelight Glow, which is a sheer luminous soft gold highlight. Perfect for fishing off any look by dusting it on the highest point of your cheeks. It really gives a nice healthy glow and the gold flecks in it really does make give a warm glow to your face like by candlelight. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next, you get two more blushes. Cocoa Rose and and Sweet Pink. Cocoa Rose is a soft pink brown while sweet pink is a fresh pink sheen. I love them both but sweet pink is definitely my favorite! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also included in this pack are three cards. The cards have three different looks to give you ideas on what to try. </div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall, I am very pleased with this palette. No complaints here besides I would have liked the packaging to be plastic and not cardboard just because I would hate for its pretty design to get damaged somehow! The packaging is made of a very durable cardboard but it seems like if
you were too rough with it it might break, so I would definitely keep
the box if you plan on traveling with this. Considering the fact that if
you bought all of the products included in this set you would be paying
186$, this is definitely a steal. Currently at Sephora this is selling for 52$. Besides the packaging, I really have nothing to say but good things. The eyeshadows are beautiful as are the bronzers, blushes, and highlight. The cards are helpful too! This would make a great holiday gift for women of all ages. I definitly think its worth the price. I hope you enjoyed this review! Have a wonderful day. :)</div>

The famous stippling brush.<br />
<br />
<br />
The stippling brush has many functions and is one of my most used brushes in my collection. The stippling brush is used for liquid foundation, cream foundation, cream or powder blushes, cream or powder highlight, and also for bronzing. I mostly use it for applying liquid foundation because the stippling design creates a flawless airbrushed effect. The white part is made of synthetic bristles and is used for picking up the product, and the black part made of natural fibers which is used to support the bristles when using the brush to buff out product on the face. When using a stippling brush, the product should never exceed the white line. <br />
<br />

Here is a demonstration on how the product should be distributed on the brush<br />
<br />
<br />
After the product is on the brush as shown, you can use it to "dab", do not "swirl" the brush because it defeats the whole purpose of the stippling brush. One of the cons of this brush is that you do have to use your fingers or a foam applicator to blend on the crevices of the face such as around the nose, eyes, and hairline for when using this brush to apply liquid foundation. For using this brush to apply bronzer, blushes, and highlight that will not be a concern though. The brush pictured here is the MAC brush 187 brush which runs around 40 dollars but I believe its worth the price. If you are looking for a cheaper alternative, I would go with the Elf studio stipple brush which is runs around 3.00$ and provides extremely good results. This brush is definitely a must in my makeup bag!<br />

Basic foundation brush. This brush is used for applying liquid foundation or tinted moisturizer. The best way to use this is using criss cross motions to avoid streaking. You can also use this brush to apply concealer under the eyes by using a patting motion. The brush pictured on the left is by clinique and is designed with an anti-bacterial coating that lasts for over 500 washes. So not only is this a good investment for good makeup application, but it will also help your skin keep clear by having less bacteria on the face. The brush pictured on the right is by eco-tools and is a very inexpensive and is Eco friendly but still provides a smooth flawless application. It can be easily found at any walgreens store. <br />

If you were born with a round baby face like me, you're going to love this brush! Contour brushes are used for creating the illusion of chiseled cheekbones and an overall slimmer face. It's designed with slanted bristles to easily create depth to the face. To use a contour brush you can use either brush or bronzer, preferably matte without shimmer. To use, simply suck in your cheekbones and apply the product in the hollow of your cheeks. <br />

The dome foundation brush. This brush doubles as a liquid foundation brush and a concealer brush. I love this brush because it has the perfect design for navigating around all the places you normally would have to blend out with your fingers such as around the eyes, nose, lips, and hairline. It is perfect for covering dark circles around the eyes or concealing blemishes. <br />
<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Powder brush. This brush is perfect for setting foundation with loose or pressed powders. Setting foundation is when directly after applying a liquid foundation, you apply a powder to absorb any oil on the face to keep the foundation from smudging and gives a mattified look to the face, minimizing flaws or blemishes. Because this brush is so large and the bristles have a wide surface area, it covers the face with powder in just a few dabs. It is also great for applying a bronzer to get a sun kissed look. I usually care this brush with me in my purse with some lose powder to touch up my foundation throughout the day. I Definitely recommend one of these. <br />

<br />
Blush brush. This brush is used for applying powdered blush to the cheeks to get a healthy rosy glow. This brush can also be used for applying bronzer. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
If you are on a limited budget, I would recommend getting the brushes that are multi-functional such as the stippling brush. Brushes that only hold one purpose, such as the blush brush, are not necessary but still nice to have. If I had to pick only two must haves, it would be the stippling brush and the powder brush because with only those two you are all set with applying liquid foundation, blush, bronzer, highlight and loose powders. Always look for the highest quality you can find. Brushes should feel soft and luxurious, not hard and scratchy! In face brushes part two, I will go into details about fan brushes, concealer brushes, flat top brushes, and kabuki brushes. I will also be doing a separate post on eye makeup brushes. I hope this helped, good luck! :)<br />
