The point of this look was to use palettes already in my collection or yours with the Mac Wonder Woman Valiant Palette to create a really nice pretty look. I used the Too Faced Romantic Eye Palette and the Laura Mercier Silk Road Palette in combination with the Mac Valiant Palette to create this look. Feel free to substitute your own colors in place of the colors I used. I hope this is helpful!
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

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 an intense gold and purple eye look with a really nice ruby lip. I was really inspired by the cat eye look lately and I wanted to capitalize on that inspiration. I wanted this look to be really gold, but also include some intense deepness. I also wanted to compliment the bold eye with a more bold wearable lip. I decided on Laura Mercier's Ruby Glaze lip plumper. Since I didn't get a chance to use it with the Laura Mercier Silk Road Palette, I decided to use it in this tutorial. Enjoy!

I am usually not a big fan of Valentines Day and it's not because of the traditional reasons. I am not a huge fan because I always over-indulge in Dove's chocolate shaped hearts and Conversation Hearts! They are just so yummy and really only available around this time of year! hahaha. On the plus side, for some Valentines Day is extremely romantic. Every Valentines Day I have ever had has never really lived up to the hype - so sorry, boyfriends, I have to admit...your attempt at romantic fell short when you didn't save me from a sinking ship like Leonard DiCaprio in Titanic. Gosh, movies ruin everything! hahaha.
Anyway, this look was inspired by Valentines Day and the Too Faced Romantic Eye Palette which is sold at Sephora and Ulta and retails for $35.00. I love this palette. It makes my heart swell and makes me wonder what romantic events are in store for me this Valentines Day...will I finally get saved from a sinking ship? I hope not. It's cold where I live and I can only imagine how frigid the water is. Unlike Kate Winslet, I can't promise I won't let go...I'm far from a member of the Polar Bear Club. :-/

So, I have been using this very strange work around because I lost my camera charger. Until the new charger arrives, you may see a lot of photos of me at the same angle. I am sorry for this. I have resorted to recording myself on my HD camera then taking screen captures of the video to provide you with the best quality photos.
This is a face of the day using Laura Mercier's Silk Road Palette and the light purple (Lavender Silk) I was so worried about. I wasn't sure how this look would turn out, so I didn't record a full tutorial. However, if you want to see a full tutorial, please let me know. I hope you all enjoy!

I finally was able to get my hands on the Laura Mercier Silk Road Palette for Spring 2011 and oh, boy, I am sooooooo impressed! I have never used Laura Mercier's eyeshadows or blushes and I was totally blown out of the water when I finally applied them to my eyes! I had to do a few tutorials with the palette I purchased! I hope you all enjoy!!!
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!
