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.

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.

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!

I just wanted to say that I absolutely love this blog. Your precision with eye make up is beautiful! <3

Gosh, I really appreciate that. Thank you! :’)

elongated cut crease tutorial with glō minerals smoky eye...

Mon, 13 May 2013 20:27:41 -0400

elongated cut crease tutorial with glō minerals smoky eye kit-

1. Apply a piece of tape along the lower lashline slanting up to create a sharp edge. Sweep color #1 across the entire eye, from just beneath the brow to the upper lashline. Use a fluffy blending brush to apply color #3 to the crease, dragging it out and up.

2. Apply color #4 with an angled liner brush along the outer lashline and up into the outer crease. This should create a sideways ‘V’ shape. Blend softly!

3. Remove the tape. Blend color #2 along the lower lashline.

4. Line color #4 even closer to the lower lashline, creating a gradient.

5. Curl the lashes, apply mascara, and falsies if you choose.

6. Done!

The palette used is the Smoky Eye Kit by glō minerals provided by beautystoredepot.com. See my review on this palette here! Hope you found this tutorial helpful!

So much respect and love for the wonderful mamas out there! :) <3

you are beautiful!

You are so kind! Thank you! xo

I have mostly a fandom blog, but I'm so glad I follow you! Makeup is one of my kinda secret obsessions, I just think it's so fun and it's the only kind of art I'm good at. And I ADORE that Gastby look, I might try it out when I get around to seeing the movie. Do you have any kind of submit box for people who want to show you cool things they've done with their makeup?

Thanks for following! I’m glad you enjoy the blog!

As of now, the submissions I accept are in the form of requests for tutorials. I’m kind of a creature of habit and like things to stay consistent, which is why I haven’t drifted too far from what I’ve always done. However, I’m thinking about doing a featured look of the week/month that can allow others to submit their art too. I’ll post as soon as I’m set on the idea!

Have a nice night!
