Prom | 2010

'Tis the season to have prom! Now, while I am too old for prom (sadface), many of you are getting excited, ready, and nervous to look like a complete princess! Since we are on the subject of prom, I ended up going through some old photos that I have not gone through in years, and thought I would share my days of prom! I feel so old!


This is my best friend, Amanda. Shes pretty much a boss, and was with me through all of high school. Sadly, were in different states now, but I still love her all the same. Notice how I cut my date out of the second photo, HAHA! And thats pretty much the story of my prom! Because I graduated as a Junior, I was able to graduate the same year as Amanda (2010), but I only ended up having one prom.  Moving on! Oh, I also found pictures of my "senior/junior" photos...


Awwwww...

 I don't look any different, haha! Enough memory lane. I wish I had a good photo of my makeup at prom, because let me tell you, even though my prom wasn't the best, my makeup ROCKED. Due to the many requests, I made my first ever pictorial today of prom makeup. If I had prom today, this is how I would more than likely be doing my eyeballs.

Step one: Prime your entire lid using Urban Decay Primer Potion (or the primer of your choice, but this is my personal favorite)

Step two: Using any basic white (matte or shimmer) eyeshadow, apply it underneath your brow, and to the inner corner of your eyes

Step three: Define your crease by applying "Tease" from the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette. A nice alternative to this color would be "Velvet Revolver"from the Too Faced Natural Eye Palette. Blend this out as high as you would like towards your brow.

Step four: Define your crease EVEN FURTHER by adding "Busted", also found in the Naked 2 Palette. This color is actually like a burgundy, and works nicely with the other neutral colors. The higher you blend this color up, the darker your eyes will be. Be gentle when applying this color, as it IS very dark.

Step five: Using the Too Faced Glitter Insurance primer, prime your lid only (where you have not applied any color yet). This primer is a little sticky, so I suggest using a separate brush. (It wont ruin your brush or anything, it'll just cause the eyeshadow to stick weird if you forget to wipe it off). Pat on cosmetic glitter. Helpful Tip: Hold a paper towel directly underneath your lower lash line to catch fall out of the glitter. Glitter can get messy, so avoid the mess all together!

Step six: Line 'em up and add some false lashes! For this look, I used the BH Cosmetics Sassy lashes. They are full lashes, but I also love the corner lashes 305 by Ardell (that you can find at Walgreens). Corner lashes are good for those who are just starting out with lashes and don't want to struggle. Plus, these particular ones will give you more of a cat eye shape, even without the cat eyeliner.

Here is the end product! I paired this look with a lipstick from MAC, when they still had their Archie Collection out. If you ask the counter for the light pink from the Archie Collection, I am sure they could give you all a close match.

My First Video (Throwback) | Written 2015

I remember this exact day of uploading and creating this video. I actually started this video pretty late at night. Funny thing is, what you guys DO NOT see in the video are lamps balancing on my bed, towels down all over my bed so I don't get makeup on my sheets (inevitable), my messy finger printed laptop, full of body paint that WAS NOT water based easy to come off paint (ahem), and the general madness that was actually this video.

Foundation Favorites | 2013

Late night post, I know everyone! I have been busy all day taking the Monster Denture FX class at Kosart Effects ! Now I always get asked, "What kind of foundation do you use?" "I have acne, what kind of foundation should I use to cover it?" "I have scars, what kind of foundation do you recommend?"  "You have perfect skin! What foundation do you use?" GOTCHA ! My skin is  pretty close  to clear, but I  DO  have break outs. My secret to perfect skin? (Once my long journey of clearing up my Grade 3 acne was over, of course) Not only a wonderful skin care routine, but of course, makeup. For those of you who have been following me for a long time, you all know that my skin has not always been as clear as it is today. Thank you all, seriously , for complimenting my skin. I may do a future blog entry about my personal skin care story, with further explanation of it all. Before I start my recommendations, I would like to say that my skin typ...

Popsicle Zombie | 2014

Back in 2014 , and still today, I was and am still pretty proud of the shading within this character. This was the first time I successfully to my satisfaction created shading within my cheek (specifically the left-hand side looking at the photo straight on). This was a part of a very small spread out series on my channel that I was calling popsicle zombies at the time. I loved the way they turned out, and I loved making them different colors! This series was also one that another social media influencer took advantage of, which was kind of a bummer. At the time, I thought they just enjoyed my work! ... until they stopped mentioning they even know me. It ended up being a life lesson, people aren't always so nice.  Of course, I always encourage people to have their hand at painting :) That is what I make my tutorials for! There is a difference between recreating and learning, and recreating to steal. It's what it's. It doesn't make my zombie any less pink, or my h...
