Purple Passion Eye Makeup Tutorial

Hey everyone. I realized that I have not posted a makeup tutorial in a very long time so I thought today would be a good day to do so. I wanted a look that was more colorful so that is what I did. I love to wear purple eyeshadow because I have green eyes so it compliments them well. You can wear this look even if you do not have green eyes too.

1. Start off by applying a base- I am using the Elf Duo Eye Shadow Cream in the color Mocha Swirl






2. Next add a light purple eyeshadow all over your lid- I am using the Maybelline Eyestudio in Lawless Lavender (I just used my finger to apply this)







3. Now we are going to take a darker purple color and a crease brush and apply the darker purple to your crease - I am using the color from the quad below and I actually do not remember the name and the label got peeled off. :(





4. After you have the crease color on your eye we are going to take an even darker purple and apple it to the outer corner.





5. Next, blend but not too much.





6. Now using the sparkly white color and your finger just apple a little of the shadow to your inner tear duct to brighten your eye a little.




7. Now it is time for liner - I have two options a lighter purple from ELF and a darker purple from LA color. (I used the one from LA Colors)





8. Now using the color we put in the outer corner and an eyeliner brush, apply the shadow to your lower lash line. (then if you need, put on some cover up if there is a lot of fall out)





 9. Now it is mascara time!




And you are finished! I have lately been loving using dark eyeshadow colors as bottom liner! Let me know what you think of this tutorial in the comments and also leave requests if you have!

Trend Alert!

Hey everyone. This post is going to be a post on a popular trend that I have been loving! And it would be... Skulls! I know it sounds kinda weird but lately I have been obsessed with skull jewelry! I do not necessarily like it on clothing but if you wear one skull jewelry item with a bunch of more girly jewelry, I think it looks so awesome! I own a skull necklace and two bracelets. I got the two bracelets from Claire's and they were buy one get one 50% off so I spent $9 for the two of them! For the necklace my sister actually gave it to me so I am unsure where it is from and how much it costs. 




This is one way I would wear the bracelet, the floral bracelet is from Forever 21

I hope you enjoyed! Let me know if you like the skull trend.

Pretty, Polished Ponytail

Hey everyone. Today I wanted to do an up-do because it is really hot today and I wanted my hair up. I still wanted to look cute so I played around with different styles and I came up with this. 

First spray heat protectant in your hair because I will be using heat



Next, I put up my hair in a ponytail and put a hair tie around it




Then I took a piece from the ponytail and I wrapped my hair around the hair ties







After, I took a clamp less curling iron and curled a couple pieces 








I love how it looks and I hope you do to!

xoxo
