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!

Urban Decay primer potion

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?

2 Everyday Color Looks

Hey everyone! 
So I know these 2 looks aren't that special, but I decided to share them anyways. These were looks I've worn during the "daytime" or just out with friends, but I wanted some colour that wasn't too overpowering and that was still fresh. The first one I wore a soft green all over the lid blended out with some brown, and liner on the top only. The second one was a neutral look using the Urban Decay NAKED palette, and I added the aqua liquid liner on top and bottom lashes for some color. I think trying one of these ways is a nice way to wear color throughout the day or even for university. I hope you like them!


*Also, I love using the Kiehl's mineral mascara for everyday wear. I've noticed I barely lose any lashes when I take it off. It feels really light and gives the lashes a natural, defined look without being clumpy. I save Covergirl Lash Blash mascara and others for when I really want the lashes to look defined and heavier.


Products used in look below:
Smashbox Zoom e/s [lid]
MAC Soft Brown e/s [crease]
MAC Brown Script e/s [to deepen crease a bit]
Urban Decay Perversion liquid liner
Kiehl's Mineral Mascara
NARS Deep Throat blush
Nivea lip balm




Products used in look below:
Urban Decay Naked palette [Sidecar, Toasted, Hustle from inner lid to outer lid]
Makeup Forever Aqua Liquid liner no. 4 [upper liner, smudged on lower lash line]
Urban Decay 24/7 pencil in Flash [lower waterline]
Kiehl's mascara
NARS Deep Throat blush
MAC Ample Pink lip gloss 



How would you wear colour in an everyday look?

Blue Eyes

Girls, are your eyes blue? Then you have the most attractive eyes with you, without winking at all. Seriously, blue eyes make boys want to look deep into your eyes. Blue eyes are glaring, for boys, take a look at a glance is not enough. Do your blue eyes need makeup? The answer is no! But your fashion need so. If you want to use eyeshadow, you can put any color of them, since the most thing to consider about eyeshadow is your skin color, your dress and your fashion,  not your blue eyes color. Just try to make its color matching your dress and accessories you wear. Put lighter shade eyeshadow since it will complementing your light blue eyes.

To make your blue eyes to really pop, then the eyeliner shades to select is dark brown and charcoal, but you must steer clear of jet black shades. For extra glamor, and to make your peepers really pop, try false eyelashes, which you can apply sparingly or as a full set for a high drama effect. Mid to light blue eyes almost always need a layering that is full shaded, which rising above the lid, and even up toward the brow. But, remember that during the daytime, black eyeliner and black mascara can look too harsh for blue eyes.

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! =)
