ST. Paddy's Day look just kicked up a notch

Hi there- so I was thinking about my St. Paddys Day look and wanted to see if I could make it even more fun and it was sooo easy. I just wanted to add this pic to the previous look and show you all what a few additional product will do to change a very beautiful sophisticated look into something just as beautiful and fun. So- it's all the same as my earlier look except that I added Urban Decays green glitter liner to the top and bottom lashes and a cute little shamrock tattoo sticker.

ST. PATRICK'S DAY green eyed look

Hello everyone- So St. Paddy's day is right around the corner and everyone is Irish on St. Patrick's Day. So, I decided to work on something fun for this special day (however, this look is really pretty for any day or night). I think this look would be gorgeous on brown eyes. So, brown eyed girls- go ahead and rock this look. However- I have blue eyes and it works- so I think all types of eye colors will look hott with this... (please note that you can work any light and dark greens to attain a similar look- so even if you don't have these specific colors-go ahead and work with whatever you have and JUST HAVE FUN!!!

5. MAC e/s in GESSO as a highlight 9right below the brow)
6. I then took my shader brush and smoked out my lower lash line with the Coastal scents green color
7. Finish the look by adding MAC fluidline in blacktrack to upper lash line and then MAC liner in Smolder to inside of upper and lower lashline and then curl your lashes and use MAC mascara in Dazzle lash...

MAC day or night look... Really cute

So, I am starting to put up lots of different looks- now that I kind of know how to work with this blog. I hope your all doing well and staying warm wherever you are.. This is a very easy look and something for day or night. If you want it a little less of a night look (which to be honest I wear whatever I want whether it's day or night) you can just not add the black liner or you could do a brown or plum liner... ok anyway- here is the break down- BTW- click on the pic to get a better/closer look.

Ke$ha inspired look

Hi me again- This is a Ke$ha look from her album. I watched one of my favorite youtube make-up artists do this look and here is my re-creation.. This is a messy smokey eye with a little glitter-it was fun to recreate and so quick. Literally took 8 mins. Here is how I got this look.

HOPE YOU LIKE

In order-

1. Primed my eye with Urban Decay primer

2. Used any gray eye liner on the eye lid- place all over the lid lower lash-line

3. MAC "smoke and diamonds" whole lid

4. Urban Decay silver glitter liner- called Glam Rock and put that all over the lid and under neath the lower lash line

5. MAC black tied e/s along the upper and lower lash line.

6. MAC e/s electra and placed in the crease and a little above

7. MAC e/s vapour as a highlight

8. MAC eyeliner in smolder- on inner up and lower lash

Mac beautiful Rubenesque paint pot

I was heading out the door the other night and honestly wanted something quick to put together.. I was wearing all black and it's winter so I am extra pale (unless I fake bake).. Anyway, I came up with a really cute look- Using all MAC shadows- I first placed Rubenesque Paint Pot on the whole lower lid and then I used rice paper as my highlight and gold mine on my inner corner and lower lash line. After doing that I took Urban Decay 24/7 black liner and lined my upper and lower lashes.. I then curled my lashes and added mascara... 5-10 mins tops and I was out the door... It's a beautiful look on any eye color or skin tone.. Hope you try and please leave me some feed-back..
