Black and Gold Glitter Party Makeup Tutorial

Since my finals for law school are over and I have had a lot of free time on my hands, my favorite look thus far has been what I like to call "going out" looks. What this really means is, makeup I wouldn't wear out and about unless I planned on being in a dark club, bar or out with friends on the dance floor. I have been just dying to use this glitter eyeliner I have from Urban Decay and I finally found the perfect opportunity to show it off! Enjoy!

Smokey Brown with Coral Lips

Who said smokey eyes only went with nude lips? I think nude lips are kind of going out of style. I decided to put a twist on the smokey eye with a bright coral lip and some orange cheeks. I hope you all enjoy!!! My alternative choices to a nude lip include a mauve purple, a bright coral, a red or even a light lip gloss!

A Red Lipstick Overview with Swatches

I love red lipstick. It's almost frightening how many shades I own that are extremely similar. I decided to do a quick video swatching all my favorite reds with photos to help those of you who may be trying to pick out which red is best for you.

I am not a big American Idol fan, but I am not going to lie - now that Jennifer Lopez is on it, I might watch it more!

Traditional Holiday Tutorial: Gold Eyes with Berry Lips

This is my traditional holiday makeup tutorial. I love the gold eyes with berry lip. I decided to recreate that with a little twist - cranberry under the eye. I also decided to wear my hair in a messy side bun for that effortless look. AND OF COURSE, I popped a head band in my hair to finish off the look. So, if you're going to holiday parties this year, I definitely recommend trying this look out! Enjoy!
