A friend of mine sent me this photo as reference for her makeup for my school's Barrister's ball. I did her makeup but forgot to take some good photos of her, so I decided to re-do the look with my face. I know I don't look anything like Kim Kardashian, but I wanted to give the full effect by posing in a similar way. I think Kim Kardashian's smokey eyes are iconic and so bold in these two photos. I decided to create a combination of the two looks. I decided instead of going to heavy on the eyeliner like in the first photo, I would bring the eyeshadow out a bit in a cat-eye effect like the second photo. These photos are the result. Enjoy!
Note: Kim Kardashian is wearing a gloss on her lips. Try a light pink opaque gloss.
NOTE: In this photo Kim Kardashian is wearing white eyeliner in the waterline. You can achieve this with Mac Feline Eye Kohl for this look.
Ok, this is the most unconventional video I have made as of yet. The video posted below is not a makeup tutorial, but rather a book review, haul (I got an iPad 2), and makeup Face of the Day. I was bored/sick this last weekend and happened to lay in bed read the entire Hunger Games Trilogy. This makeup is inspired by Katniss Everdeen, a 16-year-old Hunger Games participant. I was inspired by a description of Katniess's makeup in the second book entitled Catching Fire. (Don't worry I won't give anything away to spoil the book for anyone)! At point during the second book, Katniss meets with her stylist named Cinna who dresses her and puts makeup on her for a public event. Katniss states with regard to her makeup: "But now my face is almost obscured by the dramatic highlights and dark shadows. High arching eyebrows, sharp cheek bones, smoldering eyes, deep purple lips."
This is my take her on her makeup pursuant to that description. Katniss is described in the book as a thin girl with dark brown hair, gray eyes and tan skin. In the book she often wears her hair back in a braid. I tried to re-create her look as close as possible. If you're looking for a great trilogy to read, then check out the Hunger Games! It's absolutely fantastic! (It will be made into a movie and released in May of 2012!) If you are interested in the plot of the trilogy, check out my video. Enjoy!

This is a super simple classic smokey eye using TheBalm Shady Lady Volume 3. This is one of my go-to favorite looks and super easy to achieve. If you struggle with how to get a pretty yet simple smokey eye then this is the tutorial for you! I used three colors on the yes and did minimal blending and work. I hope you all enjoy!
