Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette Everyday Smokey Eyes

I have been getting a TON of requests to do Urban Decay Naked palette tutorials on YouTube. Not specifying which palette to use, I decided to go in with the Basics palette since it's still fairly new to me. I will be doing more looks using the original Naked palette and the Naked 2 palette since I had to take some of the videos off of YouTube due to copyright issues. Ugh! Anyway, here is a really simple everyday smokey eye using the Basics Palette. This looks is really fresh and I love how Venus eyeshadow makes my inner corners pop! Can't wait to do more tutorials with this palette. I need to go harder with more dramatic smokey eyes so that's coming up soon! Stay tuned! For the meantime I hope you all enjoy this look. Thanks for looking!

Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette Look & Tutorial

Hey guys! Here's a really simple and natural look with bold lips featuring my Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette. This is most likely going to be my Valentine's Day look this year since I'm looking forward to wearing bold lips. Being festive for Valentine's Day isn't all about dressing up the eyes and that's what I felt like going for in this look. If you're curious to know what I'm wearing on the lips, I'm wearing Maybelline Vivids lipstick in Shocking Coral in the first picture and Vivid Rose (my favorite!) in the other. This look will go perfectly with red lips too, or even soft pink lips if you're too afraid to go bold. Either way I hope you all enjoy the look and the tutorial! :)

Lorac Pro Palette Tutorial

Here's a tutorial for the look I wore the other day using my Lorac Pro Palette. I've been using this palette pretty religiously for doing neutral and smokey eyes. My next tutorial will be more of an evening look so stay tuned for that! Hope you all enjoy the look and the tutorial.

Urban Decay Naked Palette Look - Simple Wearable Makeup

I'm back again with another look using my UD Naked Palette. I actually did this look a few days ago but I wanted to space out all these neutral looks I had coming up. This one is very easy to do and I don't even think you need this particular palette to do this look. I find it really subtle and work appropriate for those who are looking for ways to do their makeup without over doing it.

This look can also be transformed from a day to night look just by emphasizing the outer corner and crease with a dark brown eyeshadow (Darkhorse) or black eyeshadow (Creep). I wanted to keep it simple though. Hope you like it!

Bestie's Graduation Makeup

Why does it still feel like October to me?! Then I think about it and we're already almost halfway through December! Time flies and we're only 9 days away till Christmas and I'm not ready! Well TGIF! This week felt like it was going by really slow for some reason but I'm just glad the weekend is here. I need to finish up some Christmas shopping and I gotta find a new dress to wear for Christmas Eve. I only wish time can slow down just a little bit!

I was really excited when my amazingly gorgeous best friend asked me to do her makeup for her graduation! I've never done her makeup before and I always knew she was good with makeup already :) But of course I couldn't say no and I thought this would be a good chance for me to practice more on different faces especially since she has more of a monolid which is the opposite of what I have.

After I got the feel of where her crease was, it was pretty easy to emphasize it. She wanted a subtle brown smokey look but nothing too dramatic. In my opinion I feel like this is how she normally looks while others thought she looked different. Either way, she was the hottest college graduate that day :D

Sparkling Gold and Brown Makeup Look

I've been on a neutral kick lately ever since I stocked up on my Inglot eyeshadows. If you're from San Diego and you don't follow my Facebook page then you probably missed my comment about a new Inglot counter opening inside Macy's at Fashion Valley (*squeals in excitement!!!) I was actually in Irvine visiting family last week and I decided to make a stop at the Inglot store in Newport Beach. That was when I first heard they just opened a new counter in San Diego. I was so excited that a Macy's over here was one of the select stores that was opening a new Inglot counter! On another note I got my Inglot Pro card :D This card offers 20% off on their cosmetics. The downside to this is that they don't accept it at counters, only at Inglot freestanding stores, through telephone, and I'm not sure about online but possibly so! I'm happy to have it either way! :D

Anyway! Here is a really quick and easy look I did the other day. I wanted to do something neutral, that's why I decided to stick with lighter shades of golds and browns, but still adding a pop of shimmer to keep it looking radiant (it's one of my favorite ways of making your eyes look brighter). Thanks for reading. Enjoy! :)

Retro Pinup Look

Of all the years of my blogging I have never done a pinup look. I've always been a huge fan of it though. Everything from the makeup, hair, and fashion has always piqued my interest. Mostly the hairstyles though.. but too bad I can't style hair. I love the Victory Roll hairstyle on pinups and I could never get it right. Oh well... ;p

Quick Post: Subtle Smokey EOTD

Here's another quick eye look I did the other day that I snapped with my iPhone. This whole weekend I've been going out with really simple or neutral eye makeup and this is what I had on yesterday. I ended up really loving this look because of the fact that I played it safe on the "smokey" part. I usually go all out on smokey eyes so I was really pleased by going subtle on it. I'm thinking of doing a tutorial on it. We'll see! Happy Sunday everyone. :)

Products Used:
UDPP in Eden
MAC Brule eyeshadow (entire lid and brow bone)
MAC Saddle (crease)
MAC Smolder eye kohl (applied to the outer "V" & smudged with a pencil brush)
MAC Carbon eyeshadow (outer corner)
Maybelline Eyestudio gel liner
Model 21 lashes #19
Covergirl lashblast mascara

AK Brand False Eyelashes From KKCenterHk

True story: false eyelashes are my best friend! Haha :) Anyway, I'm starting to get used to the look of wearing top and bottom lashes together. I still don't pull off this look nearly enough as I'd like to but I really love the look of full lashes.

AK Brand lashes are from Taiwan and are 100% handmade. Each box comes with 5 pairs of lashes. They have a variety of both top and bottom lashes ranging in different styles. You can purchase these lashes at KkCenterHk for $12.50(USD) a box.

Style: #601

Style: #601

These lashes are very similar to other ones I've tried (but I forgot which brand they were). These lashes are wispie and very comfortable! I really love lashes that have invisible bands like this because I feel like it stays put on my eyes longer than other lashes with thicker bands. It also feels more natural because they're not heavy on the eyes. They flare out nicely wear the inner corner is shorter compared to the outer corner. To me these are more of my idea of "natural" lashes so I would definitely wear these on a regular basis. They're not too short or too long so it's just right if you're looking for something simple yet elegant.

Style: #682B (bottom lashes)

Style: #682B (bottom lashes)

These bottom lashes are short and thick and comfortable to wear. Again, I prefer lashes with invisible bands because it feels lighter and feels like you're not wearing anything. Other bottom lashes made my eyes feel stiff but these bottom lashes are definitely the most comfortable. As always, I cut the bottom lashes in half because I like the look of thicker lashes more towards the outer half but you could very much use the entire band if you wanted to.
