4th of July inspired look

I wanted to do a simple makeup look inspired by the 4th of July.  I sometimes feel that red can be a little harsh worn on the eyes, so the way I achieve a red, white, and blue makeup look was using neutral colors on the lid with a pop of blue eyeliner with a silvery white as a highlight to the tear duct and a red lip.  As always thanks for reading and watching =)

Bejeweled

I was requested to do a look with this e.l.f. Essential 5-Piece Ultimate Eye Set using all 6 colors.  I really like this look, I did have to use dark color bases to get the eye shadows to appear more jewel toned because in my opinion jewel colors are more on the deeper side.  As always thanks for reading and watching =)

TAG: $20 Makeup Challenge

The way to treat this tag is you only have $20 to spend on makeup/tools to create your look; you can also treat this tag as if you're traveling and lost your entire makeup/makeup bag.  Don't take this tag to serious, I know some people was adding sales tax, just have fun and see what you can come up with for $20 I didn't include sales tax because every state has different tax rates.  I also didn't want to use any items that was bought online, marked down, or clearance because if this was a real life situation I wanted to show you that it can be done using regular price items from the drug store and beauty supply stores. Speaking of drug store, believe it or not I only used 4 elf products (3 brushes & a primer).  I know a lot of people that's doing this tag are using mainly all elf products and that's cool because everyone who knows me know that I love elf, but you can achieve a great look that's affordable using other products.  Real quick I wanted to share my thoughts on this studio fix fluid foundation nw50.  I like it, but I feel that it is a little to thick for my taste, I like more of a sheer coverage plus the color is a little off.  It's not that it's to dark or light I just feel that the under tone may not suite my skin tone.  I do have the studio fix powder in the color nw50 and I love it, but this studio fix fluid nw50 is not the same color as the powder.  I do like the concealer but I don't know if I will buy it because I'm really happy with the bright eyed eye brightener by coastal scents, I love it.
I tag everyone to do this challenge and as always, thanks for reading and watching =)

Summer Fun ❤ Colorful ❤

I'm using the Loreal Project Runway Quad in audacious amazon's gaze and at first glance the colors are beautiful and it just reminds me of summer, however for me working with this quad was very frustrating.  It was really hard to get the colors to work well because the pigmentation wasn't all that good and if you have dark skin like me you're going to need a good base for the shadows to even look decent.  If you have this quad I hope your experience was  better than mines.   As always thanks for reading and watching =)

Cloudy with a Chance of Smoky Eye

 I was was requested to do a look using this smoky compact, I really like the look but it reminds me of cloudiness rather than smoky hence the title.  In all I like the compact but I feel that elf has came out with much better smoky quads, compact, & palettes than this one.  As always thanks for reading and watching =)
