makeup tutorial // smoky lavender

Hello ladies, today I have a universal look for you. Purple is in my opinion the only real color color eyeshadow that works with every eye color, therefor I wanted to show you just one of many ways to wear it.

Products used:
Tarte Amazonian Clay Waterproof Cream Eyeshadow
Madison Street Beauty Eyeshadow in Cherry Blossom
MAC Fluidline in Macroviolet
Coastal Scents 88 Original Palette
Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Palette for Green Eyes
Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal in Brown
CoverGirl Professional All-in-One Curved Brush Mascara in Black Brown

First, as always, you want to prime your lids.


Next, take a light pink shimmer shade and sweep it over your entire lid.


Take a smudger brush and a dark plum gel eyeliner and smudge it on your outer corner.



Next I used a brighter purple and applied it directly on top of the gel eyeliner.


Then, using a shimmery white shadow, I highlighted my inner corner.


With a brown pencil liner I lined my waterline and upper lash line.


I smudged out the lines with a deep brown shadow, giving it a smokier effect.


Lastly, I applied a coat of dark brown mascara and did my eyebrows.





Done! I hope you guys enjoy this tutorial and if you have any requests for future posts, leave them in a comment.

reality vs. my actual style

I am by no means a fashionista, however I know what looks good and stylish on me and what doesn't. That being said, I usually don't wear "stylish" things on a day-to-day basis. So in this post, I'm going to tell you what I actually wear vs. what I actually want to wear.

This is what I typically throw on everyday (I actually own the socks and sweatpants and headbands and mascara in this picture, and let me tell you, the sweatpants are craaaazy comfy.):

Actual Everyday




And this is what I dream of throwing on everyday:

Everyday




Cute, casual, and my style. What's your style?
