Simple Purple W/Taupe & A Quick Update

I am getting married tomorrow- I wasn't going to say anything but I'm really happy about it and was kind of dying to shout it out! =-) It's not going to be a big wedding, we decided to keep it simple with only our families and very close friends around. We've been together 9 years and have been engaged for the longest time. So tomorrow we are tying the knot!!

I have been super busy and haven't even being doing my makeup daily.. which sucks! But this is a look I came up with that I liked as my wedding makeup- except for maybe the liner. I'm not sure still how I'm doing this tomorrow- but I'm thinking it's going to be something like this. I used the Avon 12-in-1 palette to create it and from there used the purplish color with the taupe that's right in the middle. I loved it!!

So- I might be MIA for a few days, still not sure how busy I will be but there's tons of stuff I've got planned for this blog when I return. There will be a new makeup review on a new company I discovered with swatches, a henna for hair update video, and much more! I hope to start on everything soon so- till next time!! =-)

Sweet 'N Simple

This was something I did for school today. I was going for simple and took out my Avon 12-in-1 palette for it. I used plenty of NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk to get the baby pink color to look brighter on my lid. That is the kind of eyeshadow that is so powdery, non-pigmented that you have to put something under to help build up. 

In my crease I used the gray shadow which is slightly shimmery so I just went with the shimmer and used the pearly highlight color for my inner duct and brow bone. Then, Wet 'N Wild Mega Liner in Black. 

To me, this was a 'blah' day so I didn't even try but when my man saw me he said, "Wow, that's nice." It goes to say, sometimes simple is better and as he said, "classy." Lol- Anyways, thought I'd share because his comment brought my spirits up a bit. Hope everyone is having a great week-mine's been nothing but homework! =-) Till next time.

Completely Neutral

I bought a new brown liquid liner- Wet 'N Wild Mega Liner in Brown and experimented with it after being so disappointed with it. It does last long- but it's not brown- it's bronze. It has a very metallic finish and I've been trying to make it work to where you can see it- because it's so light and bronzy.

I used the Avon Mocha Latte palette with the taupe color as my lid, the darker brown in the crease, and the bronze to blend the dark brown with the highlight. NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk in my water line and brown under my eye. (Yes I curled my lashes- lol they look so much bigger curled.)

I was very happy with the extremely neutral look but the next day I decided to change it up  bit. Below I used the same eyeshadows- in the same way. Except I used a frosty white on my lid to try to bring out the brown liquid eyeliner more. It seemed to have worked better.

Yesterday was cloudy outside- as you can tell in the last three pics. Another difference was that I used black eyeliner in my waterline instead of the white one. I am still not too sure which one I liked best.

The only thing I can assure you is that this "brown" liquid liner left me wanting a dark matte brown. I'm not saying I don't like it- just that I prefer more definition over color when it comes to my lash line. Whether the color is bright or dark.

Hope you liked the look. Let me know which one you think looks better. Or if I just need to get a darker line... lol! Thanks for stopping by!
