FOTD: Zoey Deutch

Lately I'm pretty excited for the Movie Beautiful Creatures to come out. I'm a sucker for the teen paranormal romance genera. Who knew that would ever be a genera!? I kind of want to read the book before I see the movie but that probably wont happen. But any way I came across this look of Zoey Deutch on the Beautiful creatures Facebook fan page. I thought it was really pretty and interesting and wanted to take a stab at recreating it.

Maybelline 24/7 Color Tattoo Metal Review.

Cream gel eyeshadow for long-lasting shimmery metallic shades
Smooth, Bold Metallic Shades
24HR wear cream gel formula for smooth application
 Maybelline.com description. 

After hitting up some photos of swatches online the only colors that I was interested in were Inked in Pink and Electric blue. The silver and gold shades seemed really spotty and grainy glittery. 

This collection is describes as being Metallic, but the two shades that I got don't come off as metallic to me they are more of a pearl or a shimmer. The fact that they are not metallic doesn't bother me because they are still really nice shades but if your going to describe a collection as metallic they should be what you say they are.

FOTD: Deep Primary Colors

My face today was inspired by the colors in my leopard shirt that I got a last week. Normally I'm not much of an animal print person but I thought the colors were really interesting together, Burgundy, Navy Blue and Mustard Yellow. I wasn't sure how well the combo would turn out in an eyeshadow look but I was quite happy with how it turned out. 

FOTD: Sayanythingbr00ke's Royal Drama Eyeshadow

The other day I was catching up on my YouTube subscriptions and watched Sayanythingbr00ke do this amazingly bright blue eye and I had to try it out! I'll never know why I don't wear blue eyeshadow more often it's so muck fun. Lashes on the other hand are the bane of my existence. maybe someday I will be able to apply them easily and make them look good. I guess it's going to take a lot of bad practice to get it right.

FOTD: Midnight Smokey Blue

So far it's been a pretty gloomy day. I can't complain though It's the first rainy day of my vacation and we need the rain anyway. I thought I would reflect that in my makeup today. Plus I figured I would branch out a bit I don't do smokey eyes often.

NOTD Pool Boy With Snowflakes

OCC Pool Boy

 So I recently got my order from OCC's black friday sale so I decided to try it out. Wow what a color! It will be a great color for summer by the pool but it's also a great winter baby blue. I had seen a tutorial on how to do snow flakes and wanted to try them out and they make the perfect combo. The polish is so opaque and would be fine with one thick coat. I think I found a new favorite color!

 Here is the video that inspired the snow flakes. Thanks Iris for such an easy nail art tutorial that even the nail art challenged (me) can do.

Van Gogh Starry Night, Art inspires Me

This look was inspired by an artist who has always fascinated and inspired me, Vincent Van Gogh.  I love his use of bold brush strokes and combinations of complementary colors.  I took my inspiration from the painting Starry Night which was a painting Van Gogh created in his later years from the view he had outside of the window of the sanatorium.  I love the swirling of blues with the pops of green and yellow.

Ancient Egyptian Art Inspired Tutorial

Recently I was playing around with my makeup and tried the color combination of torques blue and gold shimmer on my eyes and it reminded me of the death mask of King Tutankhamen.  I decided to make a look inspired by Ancient Egyptian art. I incorporated some aspect from the bust of Nefertiti like the berry colored lips and awesome sun kissed cheekbones. Of course I couldn’t forget the famous lined eyes but with a twist.

This look could be worn for a night out or if your daring like me as a day look. I would also be great for Halloween if you’re going as Cleopatra.  

 

 

King Tut had gauged ears to!

NOTD Acid Washed Jeans

I am not someone who is good at nail art or painting my nails neatly for that matter so when I come across an interesting and easy technique I can't wait to try it. Last night I came across a video on how to do an acid washed jeans look on nails.

What you'll need

• Base coat
• Clear Top Coat
• Dark Blue Nail Polish (I used N.Y.C 115A Skin tight Denim cream)
• Light grey polish (I used Essie's Absolutely Shore)
• An Opaque White Polish (I used Sally Hansen's 120 white tip nail-growth miracle)
• Q-Tips
• Nail polish remover

What to do

1. Paint nails with base coat
2. Paint nails with dark blue and let dry well.
3. Paint nails with light grey.
4. Paint nails with white.
5. Take Q-Tip and wet it with the nail polish remover
6. Wipe Q-Tip over painted nail in small sections until blue stats to show through, you will want to move around to different spots on the nail to give it that random patter. remember to not remove too much of the white.
   
7. Repeat for the rest of the nails.
8. Apply a clear topcoat and let dry.

Peacock Eyes ( National Nikki Day)

So yesterday was National Nikki day A.K.A My birthday. It was a pretty good day I didn't do much. I'm waiting for Tuesday to celebrate with some friends from out of town. Yeah Olive garden and Jello shooters! But any way I dolled my face up and played with makeup and came up with this Peacock eye look.

Opposites Attract (Blue & Orange)

I have always loved complimentary colors in my artwork, and I guess it was only natural that it translate to my makeup. I was playing around tonight and came up with this Blue and Orange look. I'm thinking of making it a series, not sure if I want to make it a series of tutorials or just pictures. Let me know what you think.
