Color Block Eyeliner!

Hey babes!

Welcome back to my blog! I hope you all are having a wonderful week!

If you know me, you’ll know that I have a love-hate relationship with eyeliner. I love how creative you can get with it, and that extra element it can really bring to a look, but at the same time creating looks with fun, unique liner is something I’ve always struggled a bit with. However, today we’re pushing those struggles away and having some fun with color!

This color block eye liner I did is so easy to do, but it really brings something extra to your look. I’m absolutely obsessed with how this look came out, so if you want to see how  you too can achieve this color block eyeliner in an easy three step process than keep scrolling!

 

 

First you’re going to want to take a black liquid or gel eyeliner; I’m using the Kat Von D Tattoo Eyeliner in Trooper Black and outline a basic wing. 

 

You don’t have to worry about your lines being perfect just yet because we are going to go back in with the black later on but give yourself a basic outline to work with.

 

Then taking the first color you choose to use, I’m using this pretty light pink liquid matte eyeliner from Handaiyan and carefully filling in that gap.

If you get any pink onto the black don’t worry, just grab that black liner again and clean up those edges sharpening the wing and connecting it in a thin line across your lash line.

 

Then with your second color, I’m using this beautiful blue liquid matte eyeliner also from Handaiyan and carefully drawing a line over the black liner.

 

Again, if you happen to get a little blue too low onto the black, just grab your liner and clean it up as needed.

For my lower lash line, I grabbed my Morphe x James Charles palette and with a small pencil brush I’m just going to dip into the shade ‘Hello’ and smudge that across my lash line.

Grabbing a black pencil liner, I’m going to go ahead and apply it to my waterline.

For lashes, I’m using my favorite Ardell Demi Wispies and using a black mascara to blend my lashes with the fake lashes, as well as applying it to my lower lash line.

 

And just like that we are done! I am so obsessed with how this look turned out. If you’re someone that wants to start incorporating color into their makeup looks without going crazy right off the bat I think this is a great way for you to ease your way into it! You’re getting to use these fun vibrant colors in such a easy, minimalistic way that literally anyone can rock!

GRWM: My 22nd Birthday Glam

Hey Babes!

I hope you all have been holding up during these crazy times. I definitely didn’t expect to be stuck in quarantine on my birthday, and it’s been a bit hard accepting that, but I decided instead of moping around wishing I had different plans, I would make use of this  “free time” and still get glammed up for my day.

If you haven’t figured it out yet, today is my 22nd birthday which is so crazy to me! I know 22 is not old by any means but the fact that I am clearly an adult now, is just frightening…you know?

Anyways, like I said above, I figured doing my makeup today would be the best way to get out of this mental rut quarantine has had me in, so if you’d like to see the details on this look right here, keep on scrolling or if you’d prefer to watch a video of this look I filmed it for my youtube channel that you can watch here(link)

 

For this look I’m going to be using my BH Cosmetics Ultimate Neutrals Palette

 Starting with this warm, orange toned shadow, (3rd shade in the second row) I’m just going to grab this with a fluffy brush and apply it to my crease as a transition shade.

 

 

 

 

 

Then, on another fluffy brush, I’m  grabbing this rustic  shade (fifth shade in the top row) and  I’m also going to apply this to my crease.

 

 

 

 

With that same brush, I’m grabbing this slightly deeper rustic shadow (6th shade in the top row) and I’m blending that over the last shade to deepen the look.

 

 

 

With a slightly smaller fluffy brush, I’m dipping into this deep maroon shadow, (7th shade in the top row) and focusing this on the outer corner of my eye, blending lightly into the crease.

 

 

 

Next, grabbing a flat shadow brush, I’m going to take this really pretty gold, metallic shadow (4th shade in the third row) and I’m packing this onto my lid, focusing mainly on the inner third of my eye.

 

 

Now with an angled brush, I’m taking this matte brown shade and applying this to my outer v, dragging upward slightly to mimic a winged eyeliner.

 

 

Once you’ve applied this with the angled brush, you’re going to want to grab a fluffy brush and blend out any harsh lines.

 

After that, I realized that the look just wasn’t standing out as much as I would’ve liked it to, so to darken the look and add a little more depth, I grabbed my Morphe X James Charles palette and with the shade spooky and with an angled brush I’m adding that to my outer v as well, and again mimicking a winged liner shape, before blending it all out with fluffy brush to give it a nice, smokey effect.

 

 

I decided to add a subtle pop of color, so I grabbed a small shadow brush and dipped into the shade playground, applying it to my waterline.

 

 

 

Grabbing that angled brush again, I’m going back into that deep maroon shade we used earlier in the Ultimate Neutrals palette and I’m blending that along my lower lash line. To add even more depth, and elongate the eye, I’m going to take that dark brown we used earlier to and apply it to my lower lash line as well, focusing it only on the outer third of the lash line.

Then just grabbing a black pencil liner I’m going to tight line my eye, before grabbing my Kat Von D Tattoo Liner and drawing a very thin line across my upper lash line.

 

 

 

For lashes, I’m using my favorite Ardell Demi Wispies and popping those on, blending them with my natural lashes with just a bit of mascara.

 

 

For lips I’m using three of my favorite product to get that perfect nude/pink look.

Starting with liner, I’m using this BH cosmetics waterproof lip liner in the color Muse. For Lipstick, I’m using my Tarte color splash lipstick in the shade Beach Babe. This is my absolute favorite nude lipstick, I’m obsessed!

To finish off the lips, I’m using another favorite of mine. The SU Cosmetics ‘Juliana’ gloss that I had the privilege of working with SU to create!

It’s such a gorgeous pink/nude gloss that compliments such a wide variety of skin tones, not to mention it applies smoothly and smells amazing! If you’re interested in buying one, you can DM me on Instagram for all the details!

And that is the finished look!

I hope you guys like this look, if you have any requests for future posts be sure to let me know in the comments or reach out to me on Instagram or Twitter I’d love to hear from you!

My April Favorites!

As I’m writing this I’m just in awe of how quickly 2018 is going by, I mean it’s already May?!? The past month has been so crazy for me between school, work, and all the added stresses that come with being a young adult, but I guess crazy is good sometimes right? (please just agree with me to make me feel better).

I tried a lot of different products this past month but I’ve narrowed it down to my top 5 April beauty favorites!

1. First Aid Beauty, Hello FAB Coconut Skin Smoothie Priming Moisturizer 

For a while, I was never really into primers, I just didn’t see a point in them. BUT, this priming moisturizer is heaven in a bottle, for combination skin especially. I always struggled with finding the perfect foundation that wasn’t too matte and dry looking but still wasn’t super dewy. As I was trying to find the perfect finish for my foundation routine I started using this product with my Kat Von D Lock-It foundation, and it was like the heavens opened up and angels started singing because this finish was exactly what I had been looking for! This priming moisturizer gives you that naturally dewy look, and with the matte foundation on top it gives me the perfect mix of matte and dewy in all the right places.

 

2. Tarte, Color Splash Lipstick – in Beach Babe 

I have been on the search for the perfect nude lipstick for the longest time and I finally found it! I loved this lipstick so much that for the first time I actually went through an entire tube of lipstick before losing it or getting tired of it. The color splash lipstick from Tarte’s Rainforest of the Sea collection in the shade beach babe is such a beautiful pink nude color, it applies easily and feels so smooth on your lips.

   3. Too Faced, Glitter POP! Peel-Off Eyeliner- in I’m Half Mermaid

As Coachella rolled around and I sat there scrolling through everyone’s photos with a major case of FOMO yet again. As much as I wish it was acceptable to wear full on Coachella glam to work, it doesn’t really work out, but a little glitter never hurt anyone right? Which led me to use this eyeliner on my lower lash line.  I had bought this peel off eyeliner in the shade I’m Half Mermaid months ago but never used it until this month, and I LOVED it. It applies easily, it’s buildable so you can either have just a subtle liner or really build it up to get the color to pop even more, not to mention, color is beautiful and the glitter is amazing!

  4. NYX, Matte Finish Setting Spray 

Like primers, setting sprays are also something that I’ve been iffy about, and questioned whether or not they’re actually worth purchasing. When I’m busy running around all day and working, my makeup would always start sliding and getting shiny especially around my T-zone. I needed something that would keep my makeup in place throughout the day. I’ve had this setting spray on hand for a while now but only recently picked it up again and started using it and I finally remembered why I purchased it in the first place. No matter how much I’m running around, how hot I get, whatever it is, my makeup stays exactly as it was that morning. No shininess, no sliding, nothing. This setting spray is amazing and the fact that it is such an affordable price, makes it even better!

  5. Too Faced Candlelight Glow-Warm Glow Highlighter 

I’m a sucker for highlighters! I’ve never tried any Too Faced highlighters until this one, and I was pleasantly surprised. It leaves such a beautiful glow, without being TOO blinding. I mean I’m all for a blinding highlight but sometimes you want something a little more subtle, but not too subtle. I mix both shades in the compact and it leaves such a gorgeous highlight. Too Faced Candlelight glow in warm glow is stunning and it is the perfect everyday highlighter!

These products have been my beauty essentials throughout April! There’s a bunch of other things I tried out this month that I fell in love with too, but if I keep going we could be here all week, so I figured I’d cut it at this top 5.
