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!

Hi friends! We're so excited for today's post. Let's just say we've been looking forward to it for over a month. It's our Pan Am tutorials....yippee!! We've been doing lots of research for these looks. Ya know spending every Sunday glued to the TV just to find the perfect hair & makeup. It's a tough job watching TV but hey somebody has to do it.

Remember to always start with foundation, concealer, and powder (especially with this look, Pan Am stewardess' always have flawless skin)

#1: Apply a nude eyeshadow all over your lid and all the way up to the brow bone. 
#2: Your going to apply a light brown eyeshadow to your lid, concentrating on the crease. This look is very simple. They always wanted to go for the natural beauty look. 
#3: Line your top lid with black liner and wing it out just a bit. I prefer a pencil. It looks more natural. 
#4: With your angled brush apply black eyeshadow on top of the black liner. This will set the eyeliner and also cover any spaces you missed with the liner as well. 
#5: Apply a pink blush to the apples of your cheeks. Were going for the flushed look. Staying with the au natural look ladies!
#6: Fill in your eyebrows with an eyeshadow that is closest to your natural color
#7: Apply a rose colored gloss or lipstick to your lips 

Remember to curl your lashes and apply your favorite mascara!
This look is very simple but you will always look fabulous and fresh faced, good luck!

Tools:
Volumizer
Curling iron
Hair clips
Bobby pins
Brush
Hairspray

Step 1. Take a volumizer & spray all over your hair.
Step 2. Section off your hair with a clip. Start @ the top section of your hair & use your curling iron to curl 1 inch pieces of hair. I prefer to alternate the way I curl my hair. Some pieces I curl towards my face & some I curl away from my face.
Step 3. Once each piece is curled take that exact same piece & wrap it around your finger.
Step 4. Next take a bobby pin & pin it securely to your head. I like to leave my hair curled up as long as possible. This would be a great time to do your makeup.
Step 5. Take your brush & lightly brush your hair to smooth out the curls.
Step 6. Brush your hair all the way through to the bottom.
Step 7. Set your hair with hairspray all over.
