Makeup Monday: Icy Blue Hue

So, this is the first Makeup Monday since the craziness of what we all know as Halloween. Side note: I hope you all liked our Halloween posts, we enjoyed doing them for you guys. OK so, lets get to this makeup. I was totally inspired by MAC's holiday products. Everything is so icy and there are blues and silvers and glitter everywhere, I LOVE IT! 

I decided to do an icy blue eye this time. I'm also hoping by doing this tutorial it will inspire Texas to get cold and possibly have some snow in the near future. Fat chance I know, but can't a girl dream? 

Step 1.) Start with a nude eye, as always, apply any primer you have. 

Step 2.)Take your big fluffy brush and apply a white or nude shade all over your lid. Also apply to the brow bone. You want the light to catch the shimmer there to give you a more glowy look.

Step 3.) Apply a gold shadow to your top lid and in the crease of your eye, then take a deeper gold and apply in the crease just for a little dimension.

Step 4.) Take any blue cream shadow or blue eyeliner and line your top lid. You want to smudge it into the outer corner of your eye as well. Blend as you desire.

Step 5.) Line your lower lash line with the blue as well and smudge. Take a black or charcoal eye liner and line your water line on both the top and bottom lids.
Step 6.) Apply a peach blush to the apples of your cheeks, just for a bit of a glow.
Step 7.) Apply a peachy lip stick or lip gloss to your lips. I wanted to stay with a more nude eye since this look is more about your eyes.
And....
You are done!

This can be a great everyday look or even a great holiday party look. Feel free to try them in both settings, I know I will.
Good luck ladies!

Makeup Monday: How to do 80's makeup

The 80's was pretty much that era where anything went. Big hair was in (for guys and girls), Clothing was outrageous, and the makeup well, the more the merrier. Seriously it took a village to put it on and take it off. I should know I did this look two days in a row. I have to say though that I'm super fond of all this makeup, its fun and colorful and well, you can basically look like a clown and still get compliments all night. If you have any 80's party's coming up, as we did (hence this tutorial) or you want something easy for halloween this look would be like so super rad!

Step 1: As with all tutorials start with a bare eye. I used primer on my lid to make sure the colors popped and helped them stay all night long. 
Step 2: I used two different blues with this look, The lighter blue I used for the base on my eye lid. Apply it to the lid not going any higher than the crease. 
Step 3: This is were the darker blue comes in. Apply the darker blue to the crease and the outer corner of the eye, then you blend these colors as well as you can. 
Step 4: Take a white eyeshadow and apply it right under the brow bone, this gives you depth to your look and it will catch the light as well. Then take a purple eyeshadow and apply it right above the darker blue shadow and bring it to the outer corner as well and below the lower lash line. You then need to blend the colors together. 
Step 5: If you have it, take a purple eyeliner and line your lower lash line. Note: If you do not have any don't fret, you can always add more purple eyeshadow to your lower lash line. 
Step 6: Take a black eyeliner (pencil or liquid) and line your upper lash line, seriously the more the better. For some reason ladies in the 80's loved black eye liner.
Step 7: You then want to take a black and purple eye shadow and go over the eye liner with the same color. The powder over the liner will absorb the liner guaranteeing that it stay all night. Next if you have an aqua colored eye liner feel free to use it now. Line the the lower water line of your eye. This makes your eyes stand out and adds that awesome 80's look to your eye.
Step 8: Curl your lashes and apply about 10 coats of mascara! Ok maybe not that many but 9 will do. Ladies in the 80's were never short mascara so put as many coats as you want to feel satisfied!
Step 9: Blush is a must, take a fuchsia blush or a hot pink color and apply liberally to the apples of the cheeks as well as going up into the hair line.  
Step 10: This is my favorite part, THE LIPS! Just apply a hot pink or fuchsia color to your lips (no need for gloss) and voila your gonna look like the bombdiggity! 
Crimp and tease your hair as big as you want and have fun with it ladies, I guarantee you can't mess this look up! Yeah like totally!
