This is an impromptu haul/makeup tutorial. I wanted to show you some new products I recently purchased, but I also wanted to do a tutorial, so I sort of combined the two and did a bit of talking about about the products and showed you how to apply them. Enjoy!

Mac's Wonder Woman Collection had me really inspired to do a classic Wonder Woman makeup and hair tutorial. Now, I am not a hair expert. In fact, I know very little about hair. However, I have been promising my subscribers I would do a hair tutorial, so I decided what better time than now?
This is a two part tutorial - the first part has to do with "wind blown voluminous" hair. I was very inspired by the comic book art and fan art I found online of the classic Wonder Woman. The second part of this tutorial is makeup. I decided to ditch Mac's version of Wonder Woman (blue eyeshadow and nude lips) and go for the classic Wonder Woman we all know - Red Lips, Neutral Eyes, Structured Jawline and Face Contours, and Dark Eyebrows. I hope you all enjoy!
My Favorite Hair Style - Wind Blown Curls with lots of Volume (Comic Book)
Makeup Inspiration - Red Lip, Neutral Eye (Comic Book)
Makeup Inspiration (Fan Art) - the contoured cheek bones and nude eye with red lip.
Hair and Makeup Inspiration - more structured curl with heavy eyeliner and outer lashes and red lip. It appears she is wearing blue eyeshadow here. (Comic Book)
Hair and Makeup Inspiration (Fan Art) - Neutral Eyes with Nude Lip (I opted for the red lip) with Wind Blown Volume

So, you want to wear Mac's Spitfire but you don't know how to wear it and not look overdone? Well, the very virtue of Mac's Spitfire is that your lips will get noticed. However, this shouldn't deter anyone from wearing it. Why? Because it's an amazing color! I paired it here with a soft shimmery eye with heavy dark eyeliner. I purposely wanted my eyes to stand out, but I didn't want them to fight with my lips. Nobody wants a battle of color on their face! I decided to go with a neutral eye, dark defined eyes, and bright lips.
The most important part of this look that often gets overlooked when doing makeup is SKIN. Since my eye makeup was pretty minimal and my lips were so noticeable, I decided to really play up my skin by adding Mac's Strobe Cream to my foundation. What this does is add a nice sheen to your foundation - which gives the appearance of extremely healthy, glowing skin without over added sparkle of a highlight. Just like 1950's pin up girls sported matte, seemingly flawless skin, anyone who is going to strut a bold lip wants to make sure she plays up her glowing complexion to really sell the lips and eyes. I find this look very wearable. Not necessarily work appropriate, but I would sport it during the day. What are your thoughts?

This is first of many Wonder Woman Inspired Makeup Tutorials featuring none other than the Mac Wonder Woman Collection!!! This is the same look I wore in my overview video. As you can see, I was really feeling "green" and I wanted to show it off with a spectacular smokey green eye! Enjoy!
This is just a simple look for anyone wanting to do a smokey gray eye. I would wear this look out, to work or to school. I think the gray eyeshadow really works well with the brown-red tone of the Mac Kissable Lip Color in Temper Tantra. Enjoy!

I received a lot of requests for this look after my Mac Peacocky Collection Overview with Swatches Video. I originally filmed this look as a tutorial only to realize when I'd finished that I'd failed to actually press record on my camera. Needless to say, here are the photos and products I used for this look. Enjoy!
I was inspired by a headband I received from my mom after she visited San Antonio, Texas. San Antonio has a large population of Latinos and a vibrant culture. I decided to do a bright and fun fiesta makeup to celebrate the vibrant Latino culture. Enjoy!

If you are anything like me, you love to see swatches and read product reviews before you buy anything, even single eye shadows. Since I am a chronic makeup hoarder, I decided to do a full overview of my gold to brown eyeshadow range to help with any decision making you may need to encounter.
If you have any questions or comments, please leave them for me. I hope you enjoy!
