10 Tips To Perfect Winged Eyeliner

Hey, guys! Over the weekend my sister came over. She played around in my makeup and really enjoyed herself. Now she's really starting to like it like I do. #makeupjunkie 

When she was playing with my assortment of liners she started to practice drawing on winged liner. To my surprise she did great her first time... But Now she's realizing how daunting it can be when you first start out. Her journey has inspired me to write this post, which you already know what it is because of the title. 

Tip #1  Practice! This is something you have surely already heard. When I first started I lined my eyes every night before I washed my face. Practicing is what got me where I am today. Sure, sometimes I mess up because I'm not Barbie but most of the time I can get my winged liner even. Someday you will too! 

Tip #2  Purchase different liners to practice with. By that I mean try out gels, liquid, pens, whatever you can get your hands on. I personally love gel liners used with angled brushes but my sister, who is currently learning, prefers felt tip pens. 

Tip #3 Have a light hand when applying the liner to your eyes. Don't press hard unless you want to decrease your precision. The lighter the touch, the sharper the precision. 

Tip #4 Rest your hand on something when applying the liner. Holding your hand up causes it to shake, which means a messy line. 

Tip #5 To make your wings match, start and aim your wings in the same spot. The best spot to start is the very end of your top or bottom lashes. When it comes to aiming, always aim toward the tail of your brow. If that just doesn't work, think of it as a math problem. If your liner is at a 45 degree angle on your first eye, try to mimic the 45 degree angle on the second. Just keep trying! You never know, maybe you'll come up with the next tip everyone uses. 

Tip #6 Part of learning to apply winged eyeliner correctly is messing up. Sometimes we get so mad at ourselves for slightly messing up what could have been a perfect wing. There's a tip to avoid that, though. There's no reason why you should start all over again. Just use a concealer or nude liner to fix or sharpen the wing. 

Tip #7 This tip is to help those of you using an angled brush to create a wing. This may be complicated to understand in text but I'll do the best I can to explain it. With your angled brush, hold it right underneath your top lashline on the outer corner where your wing is. Make sure the brush is under your lashes, as if you're tightlining your eyes. Carefully flick the brush towards the brow and create a wing. This will help you get your wings even everytime. If you're still not sure what I mean let me know in the comments below and I will create a picture tutorial. 

Tip #8 Use tape or a flat surface to guide your wing. I know this is kind of cheating but in the mean time your liner will turn out straight and eventually you will get in the habit of directing your wing in the correct direction. I say do this during the day and at night practice without tape. 

Tip #9 When starting, start at the base of your wing. Then draw on the top line all the way onto the middle of your eye lid. Once that is done start to lightly draw on the liner toward your inner corner. Short strokes are best for that. Lastly, go in and fill in any bold spots. 

Tip #10 Want that nice sharp line at the wing? Don't create the tip of your wing by connecting the two lines. Instead leave the bottom line a little longer (bottom part of the wing)  and a nice crisp line will show. 

I really hope this helps all of the newbies out there venturing into the world of winged liner. Just remember, practice makes perfect. And you're not as bad as you think!

10 Tips- How to deal with skin texture when wearing makeup

If you clicked on this post there's obviously a problem with the texture of your skin. For me, it's acne. I have spent so many years dealing with rough texture that's as apparent as an 800 pound cow in a room with you. Thankfully, for you, I now have some tips that should help with your problem. I actually still have that problem sometimes, but when I follow these guidelines my makeup looks a hundred times better...Most of the time. 

I can't guarantee flawless skin. Raised bumbs will always be raised. Dry skin will always be flaky. Scars will always look like scars. Hair will always look like hair (unless you shave it!). However, we can make them look a lot better.

Watch what you use to wash your face
A lot of people have said this and I didn't listen. I figured since I have acne shouldn't I go to war with it? How would something "gentle" help the constant battle I was fighting everyday? Well the truth is you need to be gentle. Rough cleansers can be really harsh on your skin and cause a lot of bad texture. My current favorite cleanser is Cetaphil's sensitive skin face wash. It's only $6 at Walmart and boy does it help the texture of my skin.

Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize
I know, you've heard this a million plus times but, honey, it's true. I have always moisturized my skin after cleansing but I just didn't notice much of a difference. One day, I decided to double the amount of moisturizer I used and bam, my flakey skin was a lot smoother. Also keep in mind what kind of moisturizer you're using. If your skin is super dry, then use a heavier lotion and vice versa. 

Setting spray for peach fuzz
I have a ton of peach fuzz. Embarrassing enough, I have been called out on it by family, ugh the embarrassment. So now I use a setting pray to lay down those stubborn hairs. Depending on how much hair you have it might work for you too. What I do is spray my primed face a couple times and use my CLEAN hands to smooth the hairs down. Works like a charm. 

Warm damp rag for Exfoliating  

Lets rewind back to flaky skin! I have horrible large flaky acne. If I do not take this step in my routine my makeup will look disastrous. If you have flaky skin, you know what I mean. It's just terrible. So now, I get a clean soft wash cloth and damp the corner of it with warm water. I then rub my face with it in gentle circular motions. Don't be too rough on your skin. If it's bleeding chill out with the rubbing, you're doing it too hard. Also be sure not to do it on white heads. You do not want that sucker to pop and spread yucky pus all over your face. Keep it nicely clean and gentle!  After you're done Moisturize again!

Primers that are made to deal with texture
This is an obvious tip. Apply a primer that deals with texture.  I find that a lot of primers that deal with large pores work for this problem. I really enjoy the Benefit Porefessional primer. It Smoothes my skin and leaves a flawless base for foundation, 

Beauty blender
A beauty Blender isn't a hyped up product that's a lie. When I say it makes your foundation apply flawlessly I'm not lying. It blends everything out and makes the texture of your skin smooth. If you're using a brush all you're doing is micro-Exfoliating your skin,which causes dry patches to flake up. Using a Beauty Blender prevents that from happening and keep in mind it can be used for multiple things. Such as powder, blush and concealer. It's a diamond in a pile of rocks. 

Dewy foundations
Matte foundations are beautiful on good skin. Unfortunately, they can highlight rough texture on people with unfortunate skin. Opt for a dewy foundation instead. The finish is much more natural and smooth. It won't highlight dry spots or rough texture as severely if applied correctly.

Smooth highlighters
Highlighters are a huge thing in the beauty world right now. But if you're skin is troublesome, highlighters can highlight that roughness instead of your supermodel cheekbones. When picking a highlighter make sure the texture of the highlighter itself is smooth. A chunky highlighter plus textured skin equals even more texture on the skin. 

Finely milled powders

This is the same as the highlighter issue. Always use a super finely milled powder on your face. I think translucent powders work the best over texture, especially under the eyes!

Patting motions for powder application
This tip is for powdered foundation, blush, bronzer, etc. Instead of swirling a brush around on top of textured skin, use patting motions. You're less likely to increase the appearance of bad skin. But if you can, use a Beauty Blender. It's still the best option out there.

Weekly Tip, Beauty News and Nail Color of the Week

Hello!

Sorry I didn't have a weekly tip last week. I was busy right before Valentine's Day and I didn't have time to write up a post but I'm back this week! As you all know brows are a huge thing right now. The trend is full defined brows that frame your face. But can't it be hard to keep those big gorgeous eyebrows from being over plucked? I thought so. Keep reading to learn a nifty trick that I learned of recently for that exact problem.

It only makes sense. Artist sketch out their art instead winging it, shouldn't we do the same with our brows? Ideally any brow product will work. Just fill them in like you usually do, when it's time to pluck those hairs find the odd balls. There's no more Mr. Tweezer Happy Hands. He's gone and your brows can finally grow out to the shape you want them to be. When I use this trick I prefer a pomade. It's easier to see what's past the eyebrow line when a nice crisp line is used as a guide but I'm sure powders will be fine too. Let me know how it works out for you! 

I love Sonia Kashuk brushes but I can't say much for her makeup. I'm not sure why but I haven't really tried anything from her makeup line. I always ooh and awe at the beautiful products she releases but I never pull the trigger when it comes to a stand off in the makeup isle. But... If there's a time to do it, then it's now. For the whole month of February Sonia Kashuk products are 20% off on Targets website. So if there's any brushes or makeup products you have been eyeing put them in your cart and push the check out button. 

I have been obsessed with Jamberry nail wraps. When I saw the "Love Spell" nail wraps on their website I instantly knew I had to have them for Valentine's Day. If their appealing to you hurry and pick them up! I believe their exclusive to the time around February. I could be wrong though.

Weekly Tip, Beauty News and Nail Color of the Week

Hello! It's that time of the week again. This weeks tip is great if you have dry skin. So be sure to check out the tip below. 

I actually have two topics for beauty news this week and unlike last week I actually have a new nail design this week. Hopefully I will have the Jamberry review up soon. I'm really glad that I'm done testing them out and I hate to spoil the surprise but I have to say I'm pleasantly pleased with Jamberry Nails. 

Like always, if you have any questions just leave a comment below! Thanks for reading!  

You know I have always suspected this but I didn't know if I was just crazy. But it did seem like everytime I used a brush my skin would look terrible. Maybe some of you are in my position and you know what I'm talking about. I have dry acne and when I where foundation it can tend to look like I have red dry circles all over my face. This is not a cute look and no one can pull it off. What makes it worse? Brushes. I know a lot of people use brushes and they're great. But if you have dry skin then it's a huge no no. Some brushes are ok. For instance, a stippling brush is appropriate for drier skin but honestly I recommend a Beauty Blender. 

Yes, Beauty Blenders can be pricey but they are a necessary investment if you struggle on a daily basis with dry skin. They provide extra moisture during application and they don't make dry spots apparent. If you don't want to fork out the money for a $20 sponge, Real Techniques makes a dupe for only $6.

There's a new beauty trend among celebrities! Probably everyone else, too! As you can see in the picture above Adelle has her fingernails manicured but what makes them special is the red polish underneath her nail. How cute is that? I always hated the look long nails have when the under part of the nail is showing. I really think this provides an extra polished look and I'm sure it will be a huge trend soon. What do you think? 

There's a new product by Pixi Beauty coming out next month! How exciting. This weeks post must be all about dry skin becuase this Glow Mist will be a miracle for dry skin. I don't have all of the details but just by looking at it I know I want it. In the picture it says it is a glow mist with Propolis and Argan Oil. It is nourishing, hydrating, and protective. I'm sure it will be great for setting makeup if you're after a dewy finish. Maybe it will be similar to Mac's Fix+? I hope it is! We need a good drugstore spray that freshens makeup but still provides skin benefits. I'm just hoping the price isn't more expensive than Mac's Fix+. Pixi isn't exactly known for their affordable prices. I'm expecting it to be around $15-30. 

 If you're interested in it, then follow Pixi by Petra on Instagram. I'm sure they'll post updates. Also keep a look out for it at your local Target. If you do spot it, PLEASE let me know! 

For this weeks nail color I used E.l.f Cosmetics nail polish in Smoky Brown and Jamberrys nail wrap in Diamond Dust Sparkle as my accent nail. The nail polish is really cute but I would recommended skipping it. It had extreme chipping and I ended up removing it. I think I'm just going to stick with Jamberry nail wraps for now on! I just can't handle chipped nails.

Blogging Tips for Beauty Bloggers

I have read so many posts about blogging tips. I have learned a lot but most of all I have to say I was inspired. I love how bloggers support each other. Sometimes I feel like the the beauty world can be a dog eat dog world but bloggers who share their secrets always remind me of the support in the blogging community.

I really dislike it when bloggers are all about growing their own blog. When I was thinking about my impression to other bloggers I realized I haven't done my share of supporting.

So thats why I created this post. Let me know if any of my tips help you and feel free to let everyone know your tips in the comment section below.

Use an IPad to write posts-  Sometimes I just don't want to tote around me huge laptop. What suffers? My blog, which is not a good thing. Now I get a lot more done. I can blog on the go, in my bed, pretty much anywhere. At first when I blogged with my IPad on Bloggers website I had some difficulties with glitches. So I did some researching in the apple store and found a resourceful app that I  like to use to write posts. It's called Blogtouch Pro for Blogspot and Blogger. I believe it cost me around 3-5 dollars. There's also a version for WordPress that costs $4.99. I cant say whether or not if that one is good but if it's anything like the Blogger version, than I definitely recommend it.

Just keep in mind that I don't recommend adding pictures through Blogtouch Pro. The quality is much more superior when pictures are added from a laptop directly to bloggers website.

Take photos in bulk- This is a tip I have read before but cant stress enough. Don't get me wrong, I love taking pictures but it can be a pain in the butt when I have a toddler running around. Bright lights+ pretty makeup+ a toddler= a stressful disaster. So naturally, if I don't have any pictures for my posts, then I don't blog until I have the time to take more photos. I recently just started doing this and now I have seen a huge spike in the number of posts I have created the past couple of weeks. Taking photos in bulk is a great habit to stay organized with a blog and more importantly, to stay on schedule. This tip is also good for editing photos. I despise the task of editing photos in bulk but my goodness it such a relief when I have all the photos I need for an entire week.

Create unique series on your blog-No one likes blogs that have mediocre posts. I know every blog has to post reviews, makeup tutorials, ect, but every blog also needs a unique series that has never been seen before. For example, I just started a new series on my blog called "Undercover Blogger". It hasnt been seen before and It will attract new readers. Plus, it also gives your blog a uniqueness and will show that you have something new to offer to the table. The more unique series you have, the better.

Here are a few series that are only found on my blog ( that I know of)

Undercover Blogger
Makeup Looks Using The Basic Colors: White, Brown & Black
Monthly AllStar winner
The good and the bad (of a cosmetic brand)

Plan your posts in a weeks advance- No brainer. It makes your blogging experience more organized and advanced planning keeps you and your blog on schedule. 

 Planning and writing an entire post in one day is the wrong way to go about it.  I also think it's easier to write a post when you have had more time to think about it. For one, you'll have more notes for your posts and for two, you'll know exactly what you want to talk about. 

On Sunday, I write down everything I want to talk about on my blog in a weeks advance. When I have everything planned out I don't have to take the time to come up with an idea for a new post. Instead, I can have hours or even days to take notes for each post. This allows my posts to be more detailed and well rounded. For Monday's, I usually already have that post planned out from last week. If I have any unwritten posts on the current week schedule, I'll add them to next weeks and just fill in the rest of the days that are missing a post. I guess my system is kind of like a blogs version of a cellphone companies rollover plan.

Edit your photos!- I know some people refuse to edit their photos, and that's a good thing. To an extent. Please, don't think I mean photoshop your face or whatever else you're thinking. I actually mean photos of productsyou're  reviewing. When I first started blogging less than a year ago I didn't edit my photos at all, and trust me you can tell. The lighting was yellow and the products didn't look as good. Not only does this hurt your chances of loyal readers but it can also ruin your chance of working with companies.

 I'm sure a lot of you are thinking you dont have the budget for an advanced photoshop editor or an expensive  camera. The truth is you don't have to have any of that. I actually use a free photo editor for my blog (Picasa) and I use a small digital camera. My camera doesn't take the best pictures but editing mostly makes up for that. Even the best cameras can benefit from edited photos... But when youre able to I suggest upgrading to a better camera if you want to take your blog more seriously. I know a new camera is on my wishlist!

If a product you want to review has been on the market for a while make a fun post out of it- Whew, that was long. I know sometimes I feel like I need a product but then I stop and think about how I should probably save my blog budget for new products.
Example: If you bought Mac's Pro Longwear conealer but you know a review on it is pointless. then include it in an inspired post similar to the following...

Different ways to use Mac's Pro Longwear concealer
Why I love Mac's Pro Longwear concealer
Why Mac's Pro Longwear concealer is the best on the market 

Don't let the  duties of a blogger keep you from trying products that are on your wishlist. Trust me, your readers really don't mind. 



Show your followers you care about them- No one likes a blogger who just blogs and never replies to comments or emails. It makes everyone think you dont care about anyone but yourself. It also looks bad to companies. If you dont have a relationship with your readers, why would they listen to your recommendations? Be sure to keep a look out for their questions on your blog and the social media accounts associated with your blog. I also recommend asking questions at the end of every post. It makes your readers feel more connected with you and gives them the feeling like they can express their opinions too. 

Follow other bloggers for inspiration- Everyone needs inspiration in their life, even bloggers. Inspiration is what keeps your blog going and growing. Without it your blog will be dull and boring. Follow other bloggers for inspiration and in return you'll inspire other bloggers. Your posts will be more creative and your photos will probably look better if your inspired by other blogs photography. Inspiration promotes improvement and if that's what your looking for, then you need to do exactly that. Get inspired and improve. It's as simple as that. 

Advertise your posts on social media-  Ok, I'm almost positive you have heard this one before. If you're looking to increase traffic, this is your best bet. Make an account for your blog on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest. Let your social media followers know when a post is uploaded on your blog. Make them curious what the posts are specifically about. When you add a link to a new tweet make the tweet intriguing. Don't just say "Hey, check out my new post:)!!". That's more likely to be skipped over than a tweet that says "Here's a new post about blogging tips that you seriously NEED to know". You'll get more views and followers that way. If you do use Pinterest, then make sure each blog post has a cute photo to pin. Fellow pinners are more likely to repin your pin if they're drawn in by a cute photo provided. 

Host a giveaway atleast once a year- This attracts new loyal followers and helps your blog grow. This also falls underneath of showing your followers you care about them. Hosting a giveaway is a bloggers way of giving back to what matters most. The readers. If you're on a strict budget and cant afford a giveaway, then I  recommend doing a giveaway once a year only. A good way to go about it would be saving $1 each week and by the time that year us up you will have over $50 for your giveaway. Maybe that idea would be good for your blogs anniversary.

Post regularly- I'm sure you have heard this before, in fact, I know you have heard it before. There's a reason for it too! If the last post you posted was a month ago a new viewer might think this blog isn't worth following. If the author doesn't update a couple times a week, shouldn't they just follow a blog that does? Not only does posting regularly help increase your amount of followers, but Google Search will have a better chance of picking up your blog.

Make your blog easy on the eyes- Colored backgrounds are cute but not necessary. Actually, not just unnecessary but a huge no no for serious bloggers. Colorful blogs can be distracting and hard to read. When I come across a blog I have to stuggle to read I almost immediatly exit off of it. Light backgrounds and black font are the best designs. No, I dont mean make everything look boring but keep it sweet and simple. Go read a few blogs and see what I mean. The best ones are the easiest on the eyes. Also dont forget to jazz up your blog with cute photos. The first thing people notice is the visual part of your blog and that certainly includes your photos! 

Think of your blog as a magazine- This is a tip I and my blog have lived by. If I never heard of this tip, I think my blog would be very different and not for the better. Magazines contain the latest gossip, fashion, quizzes, how to's, interviews, appealing photography, information on the newest products, ect... Your blog should be the same way. Think of all the possibilities. Your blog could go from just average to innovative and outstanding.

Weekly tip, HUGE news and nail color of the week!

Hello, everyone! Just before I started to jump in bed I decided to check my Instagram. While scrolling through all of the posts I came across great news from Too Faced. To find out what it is read my news section below. I decided to stay up late and write this post in a jiffy so everyone can take part in the news before it's too late. So let's get started with this weeks tip!

Tip- How to achieve a pillowy effect on the lips.

Have you ever looked at Angelina Jolie's lips and felt envy jolt through your body? Well I have a tip to share with you that helps you accomplish the pillowy plumped lips. All you have to do is: First, layer on your lip products--such as lipstick, lip balm and lipstick again. Then pick up a pink powder blush and dust it on the center of your lips. The results are natural, enhanced lips that will have other girls feeling the same jealousy you had for Angelina! 

The HUGE beauty news!

On Friday, Too faced released their new Little Black Book of Bronzers and sold out that same day! A lot of people were impacted with beauty despair but fortunately I have hope for all of those saddend souls! Too Faced is restocking it! It's happening tomorrow(5-20) on their website at 10 a.m. PST. This time it will be sold out forever and they have very limited-quantities. So be sure to set your alarm clock, take a coffe break at work, ask the teacher to use the bathroom, whatever a girls gotta do, just do it in the morning before you miss out on it AGAIN. If your not sure you want it, just check out my review on it and decide if you do. I gotta say, I love it and I don't regret spending $140 on it.

Tip: how to keep your nails from chipping, beauty news and nail color of the week

Hello, I hope you enjoy this weeks tip, beauty news and nail color. As always if you have any questions leave a comment below and I will get back to you as son as I can. Thanks for reading, TaylorPie. 

Tip

 How to keep your nail polish from chipping.

After your nails are dry from your previous color, grab a clear nail polish and paint the tip of your nails. I usually stop at the middle of each nail. Let that dry for a few minutes. Once dry, go ahead and paint the entire surface of your nails. Voilà, with the extra layer in the first step, your nails are less vulnerable to chipping. Now you can worry less about your nails and focus on other things. I hope this helps you!

Beauty news 

A couple days ago I went to Walmart to pick up a late Mothers Day gift. Of course, I could resist the beauty isles and I stumbled upon a great deal in the L'Oreal section. Right now you can buy L'Oreal's Colour Riche lipsticks for only $3.99! I think they usually sell for around $5 but that's still a buck saved! 

The two colors I picked out are Rose Taffeta(174) and Sunset Angora(176). These lipsticks are so creamy and comfortable to wear. The lasting power could be a little better but I love the colors so much and don't mind reapplying them. Be sure to stop by your local Walmart and pick these gorgeous lipsticks up!

 This weeks nail color is Fuchsia Power from Sally Hansen Xtreme wear nail color.

Does Pam really dry wet nail polish? Find out!

Hello, today I am putting a very popular trick to the test. So many people have claimed Pam cooking spray will instantly dry wet nail polish. When I heard of his trick I prayed so hard for it to work. I don't know about you but I feel like my nails are ugly without a polished look. Though, most of the time I can't just sit around and wait for my nail polish to dry.  I have things to do and a toddler to take care of. Anyways, today I decided to take it upon myself and test it out. 

The directions say: Spray Pam on wet nails, wipe it off, they're completely dry!

 For those who are curious, I used a nail polish that doesn't have any fast drying claims. It's just your regular everyday formula.

---

 For my first try I painted one of my nails with one coat and the other with two coats. Then, I sprayed the Pam cooking spray all over my nails and waited 10 seconds to gently wipe it off. 

  As you can see in the photo above, the cooking spray didn't dry my nails at one bit. Both of my nails smeared everywhere when I went to wipe it off. I didn't use much pressure at all. So, unfortunately, this method does not work.

---

 This time I decided to let the Pam cooking spray dry on its own. I also did the same thing with my nails(one finger has two coats, the other one). 

After the Pam finally dried I put my finder over the polish to see if they dried as well. My ring finger has two coats of nail polish and I noticed it was still wet and smudged when I touched it. So nope it didn't work.

My pinky finger only had one coat and didn't smudge when I touched it! This is the only way I could get the Pam to actually dry my nails. At least there's some truth to this theory! 

---

Overall, I think this method isn't worth the trying. It's takes forever to dry and your hands get all greasy. Isn't the point of this trick to have fast drying nails without the hassle of waiting? I guess it works if you apply one coat of nail polish and wait for the Pam to dry on its own but honestly I would rather just pay for a fast drying nail polish. Try it out yourself and tell me what you think. 

Has this trick worked for you? Let me know in the comment section below!

Thank you for reading, TaylorPie. 

 

One tip, great news and nail color of the day

 Hello, I hope you're having a great weekend. I know mine could be a little better. I took my toddler to the doctor yesterday and found out he has strep throat. I'm praying that I don't catch it and get sick. Anyways, it's been a while since I posted a tip and I thought today would be a great day to do so. For now on I plan on publishing this post weekly. So be sure to come back to taylorpiebeauty.com to get your weakly dose of tips, news and my current favorite nail polish. Thank you for reading, TaylorPie. 

 This weeks tip 

 Do you ever have nail polish bottles that just won't budge? Well here is a tip to fix that problem. All you have to do is fill a cup with hot water and put your nail polish in the cup upside down. Make sure you put enough water in there to cover the whole lid of the bottle. Wait for a few minutes and your nail polish should loosen up. I hope this helps!

Great news

 If you haven't read some of my recent posts, then you missed out on some great news. That's why I love including news in my weekly tips. Maybelline is releasing a BB cream that's targeted for acne prone skin.  I can't wait for Maybelline to bring this to the US. If you spot it anywhere be sure to let me know.

Nail color of the day

Today's nail color is Love charlotte nail polish from Charlotte Russe. The color is unknown. I know Charlotte Russe doesn't sell this nail polish line anymore. If you're interested in buying it, check on amazon and see if they have it. This nail polish has a fantastic formula. It's fast drying, lasts for days and very opaque in color. The love charlotte polishes would make a great addition to anyone's collection.
