Simple Winged Liner + Nails!

Hey everyone! 
So today I wore a really bright/busy printed summer dress. It had line designs on it that were purple, green, and blue. Anyways I didn't know what makeup to do and I didn't want to do neutrals so I just went for a bare lid with winged liner and doll-pink cheeks and lips. It was really simple and complimented the dress really nicely. I know it's not a special look but I thought I'd share it anyways. It kind of reminded me of a 60's look, so I pulled part of my hair back and gave it a little "bouffant" like that style. Also I wanted to share what nailpolish I used! I wore a teal colour from LA Colors, it was my first time trying it out and one coat was really sheer so I put a different nailpolish on top and I loved the results. The result of both looks just like Essie's Trophy Wife nailpolish (love the color, hate the name). I'm not usually into shimmery nailpolish (I am usually a fan of cream finishes), but I love the pearly teals.

Urban Decay Primer potion [just to even out lids]

For the nails I wore 1 coat of Atomic by L.A. Colors with 2 coats of Sephora Teal We Meet Again on top. 

I hope you guys like these!

Block Color: MAC Coppering

Hey everyone!


So here is a look I did using ONLY MAC Coppering as an eyeshadow all over. I really love the colour and it's so unique, so I decided I would try and really make it stand out (instead of just blending it in with other colors like I usually do). This look was so simple/fast to do, and I felt like it just really made my eyes glow. I think that this is an eyeshadow that would look beautiful on other colored eyes (most especially blue eyes). I was worried about how it would look but I think it turned out to be pretty flattering! I saw a Youtube tutorial where Pixi2woo paired Coppering with Creme Cup lipstick so I thought I would try that at first. My sister said it looked really horrible and "too clashy," so I switched it up with just a nude lip. I kind of liked it with the soft pink lip though... What do you think? I'm not entirely sure, I don't really think the two lip colors look that different from each other... I like both... Anyways I hope you like it!

Here it is with the soft pink lip:

...And with the nude lip: 

I was very proud of my color coordinating because my shirt was bright orange and blue, and I had orange on my eyes, block blue nailpolish, and I wore blue heels and a blue purse too. So I wanted to show my shirt. Don't mind the pose, I was listening to Rick Ross, haha.

Do you have Coppering eyeshadow or something similar? How do you like to wear it?

Bronze Eyes/Red Lips

Hey everyone! 
So here is a bronze look with red lips that I did the other night. J and I were on our way to meet people who turned out to be complete asswipes in the end, but that's a long story and beside the point. I really love pin-up makeup but sometimes I feel like it doesn't give me the definition or drama that I'd like so I made it a bit more dramatic for night time. I used bronze/brown eyeshadows, and added black kohl in the waterline to define the eye more. 


Also, this look was done using the same first 3 eyeshadows I ever bought and wore! They were used on my at my grade 12 graduation and it was the first time I wore makeup ever! =)
