Superbowl: Broncos Makeup

We finally know who is going to be in Superbowl 50: the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos!

In honor of the big event I decided to do makeup inspired by the teams.

Panthers look is in the works as you read ;)

Orange, blue and white are the Broncos colors.  

I never wear orange eyeshadow because it washes me out,

but I made an exception for the Superbowl.

NYX Avant Pop Art Throb was perfect for this.

It has the most vibrant orange shadow.

I never thought I'd use the shade, but I guess one should never say "never".

Oh yeah, and I used blue lipstick too.

A few months back on a whim (and on sale) I bought NYX Wicked Lippie in Envy.

I didn't know what I would do with this shocking blue lipstick, but eventually opportunity knocked.

Here is the video:

 Or we could go with orange lipstick to make it a bit more wearable :)

It was definitely a lot of fun to create.

My Panthers look is coming up next so stay tuned!

Thanks for reading

Forest Green Smokey Eye

Just a quick video tutorial of a smokey eye with green shadow

https://youtu.be/8lb1dBqD9SQ

A blending brush is your best friend when attempting a smokey eye.

My favorites are the MAC 217, Real Techniques Base Shadow Brush

and Crown Brush Deluxe Pointed Crease Brush.

I try to avoid putting blush on the apples of my cheeks because, although 

I'm fairly young, it can age you.

It Cosmetics Hello Lashes is a fantastic mascara!

It gives major length.

Hope you enjoyed the look,

Thanks for reading :)

Ipsy Favorites of 2015

Now that 2015 is over I would like to reflect on all of the makeup from that year.

And some of the best products I used came from Ipsy's glam bags.

For anyone unfamiliar with Ipsy; for $10 a month they send you a makeup bag with 

4 or 5 beauty products tailored to your preferences.

When you sign up you take a beauty quiz to give them an idea of what products you like.

Subscribe here: www.ipsy.com

I love almost all of the products they pick but these ones were extra great!

Here is the video of my favorites:

The Past Few Months...

So it's been a well since I've posted, well, anything.

Last one was around October.

Now it's 2016!

Whether my absence has been noticed or not it was due to classes.

Although I graduated I decided to change my major and pursue a degree in law.

Therefore, last semester took a lot out of me.

But there is still more makeup to come.

Here are the past few months':

A video I did with my lovely niece for teen makeup

Video here:

Concert Makeup (saw Nate Ruess from Fun!)

Renascence Festival

Baseball game (we lost, but there was a tribute to Elvis!)

Star Wars Makeup (well, really just the makeup I wore the day I saw the movie lol)

Those were some of the makeup looks I had a chance to document.

Stay tuned for more and don't forget to stay connected on my other social media accounts :)

Thanks for reading!
