I thought I would share some of these tips and tricks with you today in hope that it can perfect your game, Don't fear the eyeliner Eyeliner can be both the hardest and most important part of a makeup look. We all mess it up every once in a while and there is nothing more infuriating than messing up all of your hard work. Practice truly does make perfect and sometimes being nervous about something can make it the worst. I think my eyeliner looks the best when I get past the nerves take a deep breath and paint with a steady confident hand.

Concealer and Q-Tips can be you best friend I mess up at least once every time I do my makeup. Whether it is a mascara smudge, an over drawn lip or a not ...

Beauty Products I Can't Live Without

Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade  Without this holy grail product I would never have eyebrows. I have naturally blonde eyebrows and this stuff makes my brows look amazing. A little bit goes a long way as well I've been using the same pot for months and haven't made that much off a dent. I suggest this all the time.   Anastasia Contour Pallet Fair I love this pallet for contouring. I use fair and this stuff is amazing. With this product you can contour heavily or make a more natural look. I wouldn't suggest it for your first time contouring due to it's price because there are many other pallets you could get for a cheaper price.  Aveeno Moisturizer This is the only moisturizer that I will ever buy. It contains SPF which is great because I live in the south and my skin needs this constantly. It is the only moisturize that I think can successfully moisturize my skin and it keeps my completion clean. I also have sensitive skin and this does not cause any...

My Sketch Book

 Now I am no artist,but I do LOVE to sketch. I recently filled a sketch book and thought I'd share my favorite sketches from this book. Punk Ariel, I love these punk edits or princesses so I tried to recreate one. For a while I became obsessed with clockwork, this is the first drawing I did of one. Part of my clockwork stage. I'm obsessed with Belle, this is one of my many drawings of her. Colored Beauty and the Beast. I didn't finish it, but this was what it looked like. This is a sketch of my dog, unfinished because he moved. I love doing pieces like this, this was made with ink and is just a compilation of doodles. Unfinished Harley and the Joker. Love the concept hate the drawing. This is just me playing around with crayons. I love drawing people and practice them a lot. This piece was drawn  for my roommate Taylor. So that's that for this post. Hope you enjoyed. If you have any suggestions for posts or want ...

My Favorite Accessories

Image
Hey you guys, I know it's been a long time but I'm going to start posting again. I thought I would start with something fun. My favorite accessories and the most eye catching trends. I hope you like it and forgive me for my absence.  Bold Lipstick It draws attention to your face and is a bold clean look. Best part, you'll always know which glass is yours. Knits To me winter means chilly weather and cuddling. With my knitted scarves and sweaters I feel like I'm always comfy and warm. They're super warm and super cute, everyone should have at least on in the closet. Plaid Something I've always loved. Plaid looks good on almost everything, shirts, skirts, jackets and shoes, I love them all! And if you mix it with level you can't get any cuter. Military Style Right now military inspired outfits are super cool. They make you look like powerful and beautiful, if you have trouble finding this look at thrift shops and s...

Makeup Tips I wish I had always known

Image
1. Use a white (or people have begun to use rose gold) eye shadow or liner on the water line of your eyes to make them look larger and brighter. 2. Filling in you eyebrows does SO much. Your eyebrows frame your face, give yourself more credit and try filling them in. You may have to experiment with colors and products, but when you get them right, you'll be shocked by the difference. 3. There are lip products that will make your teeth look whiter. I am so self concious about my teeth, after years with braces I have always been nervous with them but over time, my addiction to coffee has begun to show.So I use whitening tooth paste and mouthwash, then top off with a coat of lipstick from Hard Candy that whitens your teeth. 4. Concealing under your eyes does wonders. Whether you spent your night studying, or just have discoloration under your eyes, concealer can brighten your eyes, or just cover the bags your hiding. If you use a lighter color than the rest of your skin, i...

Top Ten Tips: From Me to You

Tip 1: Do not be afraid to switch things up. You would be surprised what a change in face wash or shampoo could do to you. While I was in Ireland I ran out of face wash and moisturizer, this means that I am forced to borrow for others. In the beginning I was afraid of what this would do to my skin, it is really sensitive and I was worried that it would cause a lot of damage. I was instead surprised by how smooth and clean my skin felt afterwards. Tip 2: Use a makeup remover that also cleans your skin. Never sleep wearing makeup, your skin needs time to relax and breath. With the amount of toxins that your skin faces daily, sleeping with clean skin tend to help you in the future and prevent damage, break outs and other imperfections. Tip 3: I do not care how pigmented your skin is, slather on the sunscreen, especially in summer. When the damage done by the sun can be prevented by a lotion, why not wear it. I personally wear it year round but that does not mean that everyone needs t...
