How To: Feeling Blue Make Up tutorial

I was feeling blue today and decided to create a very blue yet totally wearable look. This was pretty simple and required little work. The steps are above... suggestion don't put face makeup on first so you can easily wipe off excess shadow.

 To finish the look I applied a shiny white on my inner lid and blended up to the brow bone. I also added a nice thick black line on the top lid. Half black liner on the bottom lash line with some more white shimmer.

For this look I used:

Urban Decay Primer Potion

Calypso Minerals- Drama

Calypso Minerals- In The Navy

Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush- Crystal Ball

LORAC Special Effects Mascara Black Pearl
For the bottom black on my lower lid I used Urban Decay- Creep

Calypso Minerals currently does not have a website but Jenn the owner does have a facebook page and will work with you if you are looking for product. There are lots of things on the internet about Calypso Mineral right now and complaints regarding people not receiving product. Jenn and I spoke about this and she was completely honest about the past issues she has had.

 Basically her business blew up with orders because the product is so fabulous and because she is just one woman trying to create and pump out product it got over whelming quickly! She has taken a step back and is trying to do things a bit slower this time so her customers receive the customer service they deserve and the product we all love!

My vote - give Calypso Minerals a try the colors are amazing and super pigmented. Not to mention that if you pay via paypal and for some reason you don't receive a product you can get your money back! Check out Calypso Minerals here.

Good luck little blue birds.

Review: LORAC- Front of the Line PRO- liquid eye liner

 

I have a seriously fab product to tell you about today. I love liquid eyeliner it creates such a pigmented and sharp line that just can't be reached with any other type of product. I know first hand how hard it can be to apply liquid eyeliner. I have had several issues with liners including opening my eye and the liner migrating to my crease, smudging/ bleeding and the worse is just a sloppy line so it looks bad and you have to start over. I have tried so many products and received this from my sister for Christmas. I will never use another liquid liner again!

First let me tell you about Lorac:

Carol Shaw, one of Hollywood's most sought after makeup artists, created LORAC as a way to put the glitz and glamour of red-carpet beauty into the hands of women all over the world.~from Loraccosmetics.com

So back to why we are here... talking about the best liquid liner EVER. What is so special about this liner you ask? First I want you to know that the brush is a little bit more stiff than some really flimsy brushes I have seen before so it makes application a breeze. It is perfectly shaped to allow thick or thin application and is pigmented so well it doesn't take more than one swipe to create a perfect line. I have had no issues with the liner migrating and the brush is so perfect I have never gotten it in my eye (which seriously hurts). It's long wearing I have fallen asleep (a boo boo I know) and it is still going strong in the AM! This eye liner has me swooning. I also love the pen design rather an the little wand most of us are use to. The pen also automatically releases the liquid so you can't accidentally put too much on the brush while dipping. Just recap and reuse! Perfect!

Tip: Still can't apply with a steady hand? Place elbow on a firm surface while applying the liner.

For a crisp line close your eye and pull taut with your free hand.
