Fall Inspired Makeup Look | Drugstore & High End | Morphe 35C

A couple weeks ago I decided to give in and order my first Morphe palette. I ended up picking the 35N and what do you know, I love it. In fact, I loved it so much I ordered another one. The second one, which is the 35C, arrived a day ago (as I'm writing this), and I couldn't help but create a look with it for a tutorial. 

Now I know some of you said you'd rather have a day time tutorial before the fall tutorial but I wanted to go ahead and get the fall one up before... Well, Fall is over! Christmas is seriously right around the corner and we all know holiday tutorials are in store. 

Don't worry, though. My day time look will be up next week! 

You will need:

Morphe 35C palette or similar colors

Tarte Tarteist Clay Paint Eyeliner or Black Gel Eyeliner 

Catrice Cosmetics Liquid Metal Eye Pencil in "Blingo Starr" or a silver shimmer eye pencil 

Covergirl Supersizer mascara or mascara of your choice 

(Optional) NYX Cosmetics Tame & Frame Brow Pomade or Brow product of your choice

Brushes: Sigma e25, fluffy blending brush, angled eyeliner brush, smudge brush, flat shader, small pointed brush.

Directions

1. Prime your eyelids with a primer or concealer. Then set the product with a powder or any light eyeshadow you have on hand. 

2. Grab a fluffy blending brush and use eyeshadow A on the second row as your transition shade. Apply it in a sweeping motion into the upper crease, than blend it in using circular motions. 

3. Grab shade A on the top row with the same brush and do the exact same thing but a little lower in the crease. Blend until there are no harsh lines. 

4. Now to deepen the crease use shade B on a Sigma e25 and sweep this into the crease over the second A shade we used. Once it looks blended take a clean fluffy blending brush and blend even more!

5. Take shade C and apply it all over the lid using a flat brush. Once applied take your Sigma e25 and blend that into the crease with no additional product. 

6. Now take shade D and apply this on the outer V for extra definition. I used the Sigma e35 for this step. What I do is start off tapping on the black shadow all over the outer V. Then I make short sweeping motions towards the center of my eye. Just don't go to the center. Keep that black shade on the outer part of your eye. Now take a fluffy brush and blend out any harsh lines from the black shadow. 

7. Now take shadow E with any brush (I used a fluffy one) and pick up just a little bit of eyeshadow. Use that to lightly transition the black shade into the lid color...Just so there are no harsh lines. I used light tapping motions. This shade is pretty similar to the lid shade but just a little lighter. So mixed in with the black, it pretty much looks the same afterwards but that's what I did, so yeah. You can go in with that same lid color in step 5 or use this one. Either is fine.

8. I forgot to add it in the picture above but I used the lightest shade in the palette to highlight my brow bone. Seriously though, any white or cream shade you have will work!

9. Now for the fun part! Use your silver eye pencil and run it around the inner corner of your eye. Once you have the desired pigmentation, use your finger and lightly dab out the edges to blend it in. 

10. Use your gel eyeliner to line your eyes. I went with a simple wing that I created with an angled brush. 

11. Don't apply your mascara just yet! First, we need to do the bottom lashline if you're comfortable with that. Take shadow A from the second row and sweep it on the whole lashline. Use any brush that you like. I just used my Sigma e25.

12. Now take shade C on a smaller pointed brush and blend that closer to the lash line. Don't go too low or it will look dark and messy down there. 

13. Grab some of the black, shade D, and apply it on the outer half of the lashline only. I used a small smudge brush for this step. 

14. Now take the Sigma e25 brush and blend out the lower lashline. Do not drag the shadows down, just blend them together (lightly). 

15. Now take a clean fluffy brush and blend out any harsh lines anywhere on your eye. If there are none, add mascara and call it a day! 

The lipstick I have on in the photo above is Chilly Chili by Colourpop. A full review of it can be found here.  Also, the brows are optional. Don't feel like you have to do your brows. I sometimes don't but I always do for photos just because they look more... Put together?

Tutorial: Cranberry and Gold cut crease ( works on hooded or deep set eyes)

Hello, again!

I don't know about you, but I love the color cranberry. When I thought about a cranberry look the first thing that came to mind is an easy cut crease. The second thing that popped up in my head is gold. Cranberry and gold are gorgeous together. I love it so much that I might create another look soon with the same two shades. What do you think?

There are so many tutorials on the web for a simple cut crease but it's hard to come by a tutorial that includes tips for hooded / deep set eyes. Luckily, for you I am on the same boat. When I first started wearing eyeshadow I struggled applying makeup to my deep set eyes. Now I have learned a few tricks and I intend to share them with you. By the way, please ignore the bump beside my eye. I just cant get a break from my acne.

Now lets get started!
 

What you will need

Makeup
concealer- I used Mac's Pro Longwear concealer
dark brown, cranberry and transition shade- I used the Lorac Mega Pro palette
gold cream shadow- I used E.l.f's Smudge Pot in Gotta Glow

(Optional) White eyeshadow- optional for highlight
gold eyeshadow- I used the gold from the first Lorac Pro palette
black liner- I used E.l.f's $1 liquid liner
black pencil liner- I used Pixi's Silky Endless liner in Black Nior
Mascara- I used Loreal Voluminous mascara

Tools
your fingers!
fluffy blending brush
precise brush for cut crease- I used a stiff detail brush with a round shape but any brush will work
crease brush
small flat eyeshadow brush
pencil brush

1. Apply your transition shade all over the eye with fluffy brush. I used a light pinky shade..

2. Apply the cranberry shade to your designated crease area with a crease brush. By designated I mean the made up crease for your eye shape. To find it, look straight in the mirror and start blending on the area that looks like your crease head on.

3. Keep looking forward and use a precise brush to apply a dark brown shade to create a cut in the crease. Start out with a light line. That way if it doesn't look right it will just blend in later. Just follow the natural line of your crease but keep it above the actual crease. I hope that makes sense.

4. Look forward, then down and see if the cut looks ideal. If it does darken the line with more shadow. Try to be precise but don't worry too much if you mess up. You can fix that later.

5. Don't put down the precision brush yet. Go along the cut and flick up along that line. This step will help blend that shadow up instead of downwards. Just keep the flicks small. You dont want the brown shade up in your brow.

6. Now grab the crease brush and apply more of the cranberry shade to lightly blend out the dark brown. Do not go over the cut. blend out the shadow that is flicked up only. The goal is to have a cranberry cut crease. The brown is just to make the cut more apparent.

7. Use the same precision brush from earlier and carve out the cut with concealer. Concealer will help clean things up and sharpen the cut. If you apply too much, blend it out on the lid. I like to put the concealer on my brush and dab it on my lid then go up along the bottom of the cut and carve it. When that step is taken you don't have to worry about applying too much concealer along the cut. 

8. Apply a gold cream eyeshadow all over the eye lid. Apply the gold over the concealer. I find that using my finger is easier for the most of my lid, then when it is time for the application close to the cut I use a precision brush.  

9. Use a flat eyeshadow brush and apply a gold eyeshadow all over the lid. I used a lighter gold eyeshadow on the inner corner but that's not necessary. 

10. Apply your eyeliner. I went with a small wing for the look. 

11. For the bottom lashline apply a black liner and smudge it out. I used a rubber smudge brush but whatever works for you is fine. I tried to concentrate on the outer corner more so than the inner corner. 

12. Blend out the black smudged liner with a cranberry shade using a pencil brush. This will soften the look but at the same time make it more dramatic. 

13. Apply your mascara. I applied mascara to both the top and bottom lashes. Feel free to use falsies! 

14. Makeup sure everything is blended. This also applies to your bottom lashes! Remember not to blend the cut with a fluffy brush. 

15. Optional, highlight your brow bone with a white eyeshadow.

Soft New Years makeup tutorial for young teens

One of my New Years resolutions is posting more makeup tutorials. But I am a blogger and right now their are many girls frantically looking for the perfect New Years makeuplook.  So I decided my resolution starts now. I decided to start with a softer makeup looked that is targeted for younger teens or for the girls who are shy when it comes to makeup. It's really easy recreate and you don't even need the same products I used. Just pick similar shades that you already have and you should be good to go!

Hope you enjoy this look and find it helpful! Have a wonderful and blessed New Year!

For the eye look you will need the following products.

• I used the Lorac Mega Pro palette but all you need are the following shades: cranberry, shimmery vanilla, and a dusty rose to copy this look
• White base (optional) 
• Urban Decay eye primer
• L'Oreal voluminous mascara
• Black eyeshadow for lining the eyes
• And of course some makeup brushes (shader, blending, precision/pencil, crease, lining) 

For the face I used

• Loreal True Match foundation
• E.l.f cosmetics Hd concealer in brightening
• Physicians Formula face powder
• Nars Orgasm blush
• Benefit's Hula for Light contouring

On the lips

• Chapstick 
• Too Faced Melted lipstick in Berry

Now let's get started!

1. First, make sure you have a clean face. It should be washed, moisturized and prepped with any primers.
2. After applying Urban Decays primer potion, take a a fluffy brush and lightly blend a cranberry shade into the crease. Be sure not to go too high above the crease. It's better to get it all over the lid rather than covering your brow none with the cranberry shade. 
3. Pick up crease brush and precisely apply the same cranberry shade in the crease. Start from the outer v and work your way into the inner v. But try to keep most of the cranberry shade on the outer v area. 
4. After you're finished with step 3, take a fluffy blending brush and blend out any harsh lines.
5. Next, apply a white base to the lid of the eye for enhanced pigment for the vanilla eyeshadow.
6. Take a flat shadow brush and dab the shimmery vanilla shade all over the lid. You can also use your fingers or a sponge applicator for this step. 
7. Again, go back in with your fluffy blending brush and blend any harsh lines from the vanilla shade. Sometimes it's needed to redo step 3 to enhance the cranberry shade and that's ok. But don't forget that you might need to be blend once again.
8. Now, take a pencil brush and apply a rosy shade on the outer v to lightly smoke things out. Blend with a fluffy brush if needed.
9. For lining the eyes use an angled eyeliner brush and a black eyeshadow. This will keep the look soft and avoid the harshness a tradional eyeliner can create. 
10. Apply mascara to the top and bottom lashes. 
11. If desired, apply the same vanilla shade on the brow bone to enhance the shape of your brows.
12. Then finish up with your foundation, concealer, powder, bronzer, blush and lipstick. (I did it in that order)

    ---

I really like this look because you can change it up to a more bold look or tame it down. You can add definition under the eyes, falsies, winged eyeliner, or even add deeper Berry shades. The possibilities are endless with this look. I decided to keep the look soft becuase it was done on a 14 year old but when I wear this look I definitely vamp it up! 

What are you doing for the holidays?

Are you going to rock this look?

Sorry about the redness in my eyes. I get really bad allergies during this time of the year. 

Here is a photo of the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette. If you don't have this palette, just try to use similar colors and I'm sure it will turn out just as pretty. 

1. To start off the look I applied Maybelline's Barley Branded Color Tatoo to brighten up my eyes and to keep my eyeshadow in place all day.

2. Then, I used Limit from the Naked 3 in my crease with a fluffy eye brush. I didn't apply much but I applied enough to make the color visible. I started at the outer corner and blended my way into the inner corner.

3. Next, with an eyeshadow brush I applied Dust all over the lid in patting motions. 

4. To deepen the outer corner I used Darkside. Using a precise definition brush start at the corner and work your way up the crease. Don't use too much or your crease will be too dark(unless you want it that way). I also blended it out toward the center of my eyelid but not very much. I mostly tried to keep it in the crease.

5. After I was done with Darkside I used Limit on a fluffy blending brush  to blend out any harsh lines above my crease. 

6.The last shadow I used is Strange. I applied it with an eyeshadow brush to brighten up underneath my eyebrow. 

7.For the lower lashline, I used Darkside on the outer corner and Dust on the inner corner & the tear duct. I used an eyeliner brush for the lashline but I wiped it off in between  different colors. If you prefer your eyes to be brighter apply more of the color Dust. I didn't go crazy with that color because right now I'm constantly rubbing my eyes in that area.

8. For my eyeliner I used e.l.f cosmetics liquid liner for a wing on the top, Urban Decays liner on the lower lashline to darken the outer corner, and Rimmels Nude liner to brighten my inner corner on the lower lashline. 

9. Lastly, I applied L'Oreal's Voluminous Carbon Black mascara and applied e.l.f cosmetics natural lashes.
