This is an edgy smokey look inspired by the makeup I have been seeing in a lot of magazines from Fashion Week. I've seen the red lip as a huge trend as well as a love of smokey, smudgy eyes. I decided instead of doing a full on red lip, I would keep the lips more wearable and trendy and go with a smudged out red lip. I hope you all enjoy!

Here is the gold and blue makeup look from the Mac Jeanius Collection Overview video. I opted for a blue and gold look which is coincidentally the same colors as my high school colors. Goooo Panthers!!! :) I wanted to do a blue look without making the eye completely blue. I have always thought pairing golds with blue can look really nice on warmer skin tones. I also opted for a peachy cheek with a warm nude lip to finish off the look. I hope you all enjoy!

We are all busy people. Now, I know all my readers are women - I know I have some men out there who read my blog. So, don't take offense to the title of this post please! I just wanted something catchy to grab your attention since I have been gone for sooooo long! Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who has been patient with me this week! This makeup is for those of us who don't want to sacrifice looking put together because we have an early morning flight, an exam, a stressful day ahead of us or we just hit snooze one too many times on the alarm clock this morning! I tried to use minimal products while maintaining a sleek, put together, easy go-to look. I wanted you guys to feel put together even when you don't have a ton of time to spend applying everything perfectly! I hope you find this helpful! Enjoy!

I have been requests for more neutral looks. This is a neural look using Mac Pigments. I wanted to make the skin look soft and glowing, but still natural. I decided against using a highlight because I thought it would make the skin look too shiny. Instead I really played up my skin with Nars Sheer Glow and then I applied a soft cheek color with a natural lips to compliment my brown neutral eye. I think the complete look is very soft, neutral and would compliment a wide variety of skin tones. I highly recommend Mac Naked Pigment if you do not already own it. It's amazing! You will put it on your eyes and say..."WOW, why haven't I owned this yet?" Yeah, it's that amazing! Enjoy!

I wanted to do a look incorporating muted turquoise greens, grays and purples, however I didn't want the look to look clownish. I decided on this look because I thought the lips would bring some brightness while the eyes remained subtle and muted enough to be wearable. The trick to keeping your eyes simple is to use brown eyeliner instead of black eyeliner. It really helps to keep the eyes soft wand pretty. I hope you all enjoy!

I have class this morning, but I wanted to do a quick Face of the Day for you all. This is my version of a wearable simple smokey blue eye that is perfect for daytime. I used only three shadows to create this look and minimal effort. I hope you all enjoy!
This is a face of the day inspired by Spring and The Balm Shady Lady Palette Volume 3. I wanted to use purple, but I didn't want to do "another purple tutorial", so I decided to make this look a face of the day. I want to let you all know that this weekend and the next week I will be pretty busy with school. I have a pretty big exam coming up and class on Saturday and Sunday (yes, I said SUNDAY!), so my video creation process is significantly hampered during this period. I will continue to do face of the days, but I won't be able to have as many videos for you all. I will get back to normal speed with videos with the Mac Jeanius Collection (March 3rd). Until then, I will continue to do Face of the Day's using The Balm Shady Lady Palette Volume 3 because I think it's a really great palette. 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!

The first of TheBalm Shady Lady Volume 3 looks had to be anything but traditional. I initially filmed the entire Overview and first tutorial with a classic smokey eye for a more everyday approach to this palette. But upon reviewing the overview video I decided it would be a lot more exciting and fun if my makeup was out there and fun for the first tutorial. I decided to scratch the first overview video and re-film the overview with a bright and bold makeup look. I decided to use teal and purple, because I think teal and purple compliment each other well. I decided to whip out my brand new Mac Viva Glam Gaga 2 for a "make it work" moment. I think the look is actually really pretty and goes nicely with the bright eyes. I hope you all enjoy!
