Katy Perry Inspired Makeup! ♡

Hey Girls!

Its been a while since I did an inspired makeup look, so today I have a look inspired by Katy Perry. One the September issue of Elle magazine, Katy has a very dark smokey eye. I really liked how she wore it so I tired it out on myself. It was super easy and I only had to use a few colors from my Naked Palette!

What do you think of it?

For this look I also filmed another YouTube video on it that I will link below. I would love if you would watch it! All the products I used for this look is also included in the video.

Also if you girls have a youtube account I would love if you would subscribe to me! :)

I hope you liked this look! Tell me what you think of it in the comments!



L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Self Tanning Tutorial

Hey girlies!
In my mid-summer haul post, I purchased L'oreal's Sublime Bronze Self Tanner. I do far have used this product twice on my face and have fallen in love with it!

This product says that it will leave you with a radiant and sun kissed glow with a 100% natural looking tan gradually. I don't want to start doing a review on this product quite yet, but I do want to explain how I applied this to my body.

For this tutorial I am going to show you how I apply this to the parts of my arms that did not get tanned by the sun.
This self tanner is colored, so you can see where you applied it, as well as it will give you an instant tan. However, this self tanner is also a luminous one so it leave a whole bunch of tiny glitters on your body.

Since I am a night showerer I will apply this tanner at night so there will be time to let it develop as well as for some of the glitters to rub off.

**This tanner will develop more over time so do not apply a bunch your first time to avoid looking orange.

To apply this, I first took a little amount into my palm or finger tips. I then will take a little amount with my other hand to apply this to my body.

Evenly run this into your skin, adding more tanner where you might need it. You will start seeing some color and glitter on your skin.

 

Once you have applied this to the area where you need the tanner, IMMEDIATELY once you are done to avoid orange and streaky hands. I have learned this from experience, trust me do not miss this step.

When I self tanned my face, I woke up in the morning with some streaks and a pretty tanned face. What I did to get a even looking tan, I started by lightly washing my face and as I did I would rub the tanner that begin to wash off back into my skin to even the tan. After padding my face dry I noticed the tan to be more even.

When I apply makeup to my face, I apply some concealer to my dark circles and any imperfections or blemishes I may have. I then apply a thin layer of foundation over my skin to even it out even more, then I will apply some bronzer and blush, then I will carry on with the rest of my makeup.


So far I am really liking this self tanner, and I defiantly will have a review on this in the near future.

My family and I am heading out to the lake for the next week, so I will still try to post as much as possible!
Hope you girls had a great weekend!

Naked Palette Quick Look #3

Hey girls!
Today I have for you another Naked Palette quick look. This look is a look that I wear all the time in the day to either school, work, or just to go out. It is really easy to achieve and the light colors really brighten your eyes.

First what I do is mix Sin and Virgin together as apply this all over the lids of my eyes.
I will then take Darkhorse and Smog, mixing them together and applying that to the outer corners of my eyes.
Then I use a mixture of Naked and Virgin to blend the colors up to my brow bone.
For the inner corner of my eye, I used a champagne color shadow from one of my Rimmel palettes.
After that, I just apply my eyeliner and mascara as usual. And you're done!

Hope you enjoyed this look!

Naked Palette Quick Look #2

Hey girls!
Today I have another Naked Palette Quick Look for you. This one is a lighter look that is great look for daytime. I only used a combination of 4 basic colors, so this is a super easy look to recreate!

To get this look:
I first took Virgin and Sin, mixing them together and applying that as a wash to my whole lid. After applying that I took Naked and Buck, mixing those together as applying them to my outer corner and blending it into my crease. I blended the colors on my lid, applied my mascara and eyeliner and you're done!

It's super quick and simple to achieve this look!


I hope you enjoyed this quick look!

Suttle Blues ♥

Hey girls!
Today I thought I would post a eyeshadow tutorial that I had planned for a few weeks but never got to posting about it. Its the makeup that I wore in my Youtube video on nude summer lips. Its a really simple look with a pop of blue in the outer V of the eye.
If you havent seen my video already you can watch it below!

The shadows I used to create this look were Joe Fresh in Ice, and I applied this to my inner corners of my eye. I then took Gold Rush also by Joe Fresh (not pictured below) and applied this all over my lid. Then lastly I took my E.L.F. Quad in Ocean Dream and used the 2 darker blues and applied those to the outer V. Then I just took a fluffy brush, blended the colors together, applied some eyeliner and mascara and thats it!

I hope you enjoyed this quick eyeshadow look. And if you want to see how what I'm wearing on my lips just watch the video above! :)

Glossy Neutral Lips ♡

Hey Girls!
With summer fast approaching, one thing that I know is great for summer are neutral lips. I love the look of light colored/ nude lips for summer time as well as wearing my lips glossy too. Today I have another YouTube tutorial on how I wear my neutral glossy ways -- one really pale, and one with a pinkish color to them!

The trick I use to get a nice neutral/ nude lip is to start out with a good base to your lips. I use a combination of concealers to get the desired shade that I want. After I blend that into my lips, I start adding the gloss or color to my lips that I want to wear that day.

When you apply the concealer to your lips, it looks kinda scary but thats what I find works for me!
