Tutorial

1) Prime the lid using UDPP. Apply the color tattoo all over the lid. Apply Brule up to the brow bone to get a nice even canvas to work with.

2) With a fluffy brush, define the crease using NYC sunny bronzer and the matte terracotta shade from the Tarte palette.

3) Using a dark reddish brown color on a small shading brush, apply to the outer and inner corners of the lid.

4) Using a coppery color, apply to the rest of the lid, except the center.

5) Apply an amber colored shadow to the center of the lid

6) On the lower lashline, apply a creamy gold base. Go over the cream base with a light gold shadow in the inner corner and with a deeper gold on the rest of the lower lash line. 

7) Apply black liquid liner, black pencil liner on the waterline, mascara and false lashes if desired.

Fill in brows and apply foundation, concealer and powder. Lightly contour and bronze the skin with a matte bronzer. Use a bronze or coral blush and nude lipstick or gloss to finish off.

Megan Fox Inspired Makeup : Subtle Smokey Eye with Red Lips

My inspiration pic

** Personnal update, Skip ahead if you're not interested! ** Hey everyone! Sorry I've been MIA for the past two weeks! I've been extra busy with school again so I barely had any time to think about blogging. I've been doing an internship closer to Montreal and living with my parents for the last two weeks. I'm also going back next week, but I had to come down here because I'm working this week end. It never ends -_-. Anyway.

Before I left for my internship two weeks ago, I made a look inspired by Megan Fox with red lips and a smokey lash line. (my friend Frederika from French Gypsy requested it ages ago, but I never got around to it. It's been on my to do list for months!)

I never ended up having time to edit the pictures and compose the blog post, so the pictures have been sadly sitting in my makeup folder untouched for a while now. I'm back for the week end in Quebec, and even though I don't actually have much time to dedicate to blogging, I decided to at least get this post up and running!

Enough chit-chat, let's get straight to the makeup look! I went for a smokey lash line (which is more apparent in my eye type than hers since I have a lot more lid space than she does), and pretty, intense, not too glossy red lips. I also defined my eyebrows more than I normally would and gave them a more pronounced arch like her. I went heavier with the contouring (although my lighting makes it hard to see there is any at all :P) because we all know how much she loves contouring! I hope you enjoy this look, let me know what you think in the comments below!♥

After all that, my vanity is always a disaster! Does that happen to you?

Neutral and Matte Graduation Picture Makeup

Hey all! Today I'm sharing the makeup I wore for my graduation photo. The photo agency recommend a matte, neutral but polished look, so that's what I went for of course. I did a barely there eye look, pinky cheeks and a natural lip color. I simply deepened up the crease a little bit, defined my eyebrows, added some half lashes and went for flawless skin. I think it turned out very natural, but put-together. It looks nice with or without flash and could be worn to a number of occasions. Also, it was my first time wearing falsies out of the house and they didn't get unglued or anything so I'm really happy!

With Flash

Valentine's Day Date Makeup Using Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette

Today I have another Valentine's Day date makeup look to share. For this one I used the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette. I feel like the Naked Palettes are really perfect for romantic, natural but seductive eye looks. I'm really enjoying this series! Apparently I'm doing them in reverse order, the last being the Naked 1 which will be coming up soon!

For this look I went for a very defined crease with a very shimmery eye. I kept the edge of the shadow super neat by applying a tape during makeup application. I chose full long lashes and a noticeable, but not too thick winged liner. I kept the face very flawless and accentuated my cheeks and lips with a soft pink color. Overall, I think this look is perfect for a romantic date! I hope you all enjoy it ♥
