Modern Day Pin Up Look #2

This is just another modern day pin up look. I was in the mood for a deep red lip. I wanted this look to have hints of the classic pin up look, such as the bold lip, neutral eye and flicked out eyeliner, but I wanted to modernize it with glowing skin, a shimmery eye and a deeper red lip. I hope you all enjoy!

Purple and Lime Smokey Eye Tutorial

I was feeling in a bright and cheery mood today. I decided to do a purple smokey eye with a bright lime color underneath the eye to add interest. I am kind of sick of doing the same makeup over and over. I know we can all fall into ruts, so I decided to do something really fun and exciting. I hope you all enjoy!

Review of Chanel Bronze Universal or Soleil Tan de Chanel Cream Bronzer

Fake It 'Til You Make It Makeup - Universal Makeup for all types of events!

There is a type of makeup that I resort to for any of the following big events in my life: (1) a job interview, (2) meeting my boyfriend's parents, (3) a religious event (i.e., a wedding [not your own], bar mitzvah, baptism, etc.), (4) a first date, and finally, (5) exchanging items after a break up with your now ex-boyfriend. (Because who doesn't want to look lovely, natural, and flawless when meeting the ex to exchange items).

I call this "universal makeup" because it can be worn to any of those events and will always make you look well kept, pretty, nice and natural. I hope you all will find this tutorial helpful! Enjoy!
