tacosandmoshingwithmexicans asked: Hi so I have prom next weekend and I have no idea how to do my make up. I have a black and white super classy dress and I have brown eyes and tan skin. I'm also wearing my hai down and curled. I just really need help on what to do with my make up.
Hello!
I’d run with the classy theme and do some old Hollywood makeup; matte neutrals on the eye, falsies, and a bright red lip. Sleek, classic, and sexy!
Have fun!
wild tutorial-
1. Apply a strip of tape on the lower lashline slanting up. Just above the crease, blend an orange brown following the contour of the eye. Soften the line with a highlight just below the brow.
2. Use a precision blending brush to apply a dark green in the crease and outer corner of the eye. Use a soft hand to lightly blend into the orange brown.
3. With a flat brush, pat a medium green on the center of the lid, blending it into the surrounding dark green. Also, take this color down to the lower lashline.
4. Apply a lime green to the remaining inner corner of the lid. Once again, carefully blend into the surrounding colors.
5. Darken the outer corner using a black. Apply to the outer lashline and up into the outer crease. Blend!
6. Line the lower waterline with a bright blue pencil liner. Set with a blue eyeshadow for maximum staying power.
7. Curl lashes, apply mascara and falsies if you choose!
8. Done!

I had a friend who I didn’t see very often, but every now and then, she’d send me the most beautiful photos of makeup for inspiration. “Thought you might appreciate this, Emily!”, followed by a stunning work of art. While I loved all of the photos, I loved even more the sporadic notifications I’d get just letting me know they were there. A sweet gesture; a reminder that “hey, I’m thinking about you!” A reminder that those little reminders are important and need to be brought to light more often.
Thursday, I learned that she was killed early that morning. Such a sinking feeling. I can’t wrap my head around it.
Be sure the people you love know it.
haylollie asked: do you buy your lashes in bulk? where do you get them?
No, but I really should! I always just pick a pair or two up whenever I stop at Rite Aid, Kroger, CVS, any drugstore.
gone-likethewind asked: Can you do some styles with a winged look? Like, the wing of the eyeliner is really far out and thick? Paired along with a smokey eye, too. I'm trying to find more creative ways to do the look I love to have.
Will do!
