memories of spring // pop of color makeup tutorial

While fall is my favorite time of year, the crossover month between fall and winter is probably my least favorite. The trees are dead, the air is cold, and it's all-around pretty gloomy. Once you enter the holiday season however, things brighten up a bit. I listened to Christmas music all morning just to get in the mood. The "Elf" soundtrack? Probably my favorite. What do you do to get in the holiday spirit?

Anyway, this is a fun little makeup tutorial that has a pop of color that compliments pretty much any eye color. I wanted to make it because I was sick of all the dull colors outside :)

Products Used:



Step 1: Prime your eyes. I used a shimmery pink-ish cream shadow for this step.



Step 2: Pack a light shimmery pin shadow all over your lids. The pink tones warm up your eyes and complements every eye color!


Step 3: Apply a green shadow in your outer corner, crease, and lower lash line. (Blue-eyed girls, I suggest using a gray or blue shadow for this step!)


Step 4: Run a green eyeliner on your waterline. (Blue-eyed girls, use a blue or navy!)



Step 5: Apply black liner on the outer half of your top lash line, making the line slightly thicker at the outer edge. Then smudge it out.


Step 6: Coat your lashes with a few coats of black mascara.



Fill in your brows and you're done! As I said throughout the tutorial, you blue-eyed beauties may way to switch out the greens for gray and blue, but for everyone else just keep it the same.

catching fire eyes

Two years ago when The Hunger Games came out, I wore this flamin' makeup to school:


This year I wanted to do the same thing for Catching Fire, and since I no longer go to school (I'm cyber-schooled) I had a bit more time to put it together.




Oh, and did you guys see the movie? I saw it on Friday and wow. I mean, wow. Love. They nailed the cast, the sets, everything. And I loved how they kept it pretty true to the book. What are your thoughts?

tea and flurries // bronze and gray makeup tutorial

This is a very simple eye makeup tutorial that is perfect for an everyday-look. It was inspired by cold gray days and the fallen leaves of autumn. Along with a nice warm cup of tea. Super cozy. Super cliche. Gotta love sweater-weather ;)

Products used:



Step 1: Prime your eyelids

Step 2: Pat a light shimmery shadow all over your lids.

Step 3: Pack a golden-peachy color on the outer half of your lid.

It should look like this so far.

Step 4: Smudge a copper color on the outer third of your upper lash line.

Step 5: Line your waterline with a charcoal gray liner, as well as your upper lash line.

 Boom.

Step 6: Apply two coats of black mascara to your upper lashes and one to your lower lashes.

Step 7: Fill in your eyebrows and sha-ZAM, you're done!
