Cutting The Crease With MAC's Fresh Cut Palette

Tweet

Hello my lovely ladies! ;)

I actually got all 3 of my kids to nap all at the same time! (that's rare lol) So of course, I wanted to play around with my makeup. I wanted to practice a cut crease look and experiment with a multi-dimensional/gradient lip and this is what I came up with. I'm happy with how it turned out. This was my first time using this palette so I was more than happy to break it in. I purchased this at a CCO while in Boston visiting my sister. Unfortunately we don't have CCOs here in Hawaii so you can imagine my excitement when I stepped into one lol. Hope you all enjoy it. ;)

Purple & Blue Makeup

Hello dolls! I had some time to play with makeup today and I wanted to incorporate purple and blue together and this is what I came up with. Hope you like it! ;)

St. Patty's Day Makeup

Aloha everyone! Hope you all enjoyed St. Patty's Day! Here is a look I did using MAC & Wet N' Wild. Enjoy! ;)

Inspired Makeup: Illamasqua's Spring/Summer 2011 Collection

Hello dolls! I'm back with another inspired makeup look. I loved the promo pictures for Illamasqua's Spring/Summer 2011 Collection so I thought I'd take a stab at it. To be quite honest, I don't own any Illamasqua Cosmetics so I did have to improvise on this one. This was a fun look to do, something I haven't done before. Kinda modern doll-like/ganguro makeup. I used Red Cherry lashes and cut the 1/4 end off and used it for the lower eye area just to give it a little kick. Do any of you own Illamasqua Cosmetics? If so, how do you like them? Any favorites you'd like to share? Hope you all enjoy this. Til next time!

Rasta Makeup

Alooooooooooooooha!

First of all, I would just like to apologize for the lack of updates, yet again. However, a big thank you to YOU for taking the time out of your day to visit my blog. I appreciate each and every one of you. I hope that you all had an amazing Christmas and New Year! ;)

Back in December, I was contacted by Stephanie from maximumlash.com to do a review on their product. Unforunately I had conjuctivitis for a while so I was steering clear of makeup. However, please stay tuned for my review on this product as I will be giving (4) weekly blog updates with a final YouTube video review. Thank you Stephanie!

Here is a fun look that I was able to do today. I was inspired the rasta colors, red, yellow, and green. I'm not wearing any foundation here, just concealer where needed and I also forgot to put on some blush! I know, how could I? lol. I hope you all enjoy this! ;)

    

Kat Von D Inspired

Hello everyone! I'm back with an inspired makeup post. This is actually supposed to be a contest entry for YouTube. I haven't uploaded the video yet. It was raining and cloudy all day so I'm not sure if the lighting was good.

Cleopatra-esque

Howdy fellow bloggers & guests! It's been another hot minute since I last posted! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your loved ones. ;)

I've been wanting to film another makeup tutorial but unfortunately I always seem to get distracted by the little ones. =T

I don't normally use black eyeshadow to fill in my brows, nor do I fill them in this way, but it was best for this particular look. The lip color is more accurate in the first photo and wasn't frosty and bright like the second one. I'm a little rusty in cutting the crease. I need to work on that a little more, I think I went a little too high with the crease.
