New Years Eve Makeup Look #3 - Last Post of the Year!

Here's my last NYE look and possibly my last post of the year! Goodbye 2011, hello 2012! It'll be the year of the dragon, and I'm a dragon according to the Japanese zodiac. So I'm excited for the new year and I have so much faith in myself that 2012 will be good to me. :)

I asked the boyfriend what colors remind him most of New Years and he says black and gold so I decided to take his word for it and create a dramatic cut crease look with shimmery golds and glitter. Hope you all like this look! Thank you all for sticking with me for yet another year. Cheers! :D

New Years Eve Makeup #2

I wasn't sure what to do with this look but I knew I wasn't going to use glitter like I wanted to. I had a look in mind but it didn't come out right when I tried it so this was the result of a last minute decision. Excessive eyeshadows with a frost finish make me apprehensive and this is definitely more frosty than what I'm used to. Especially when frost shadows appear too close to my brow bone... yikes! I prefer not to apply frost eyeshadows that far up my eye. Unless I did it for someone who was going for a look that way, otherwise I pretty much avoid it. I usually try to stick to one frost eyeshadow with the exception of this look since NYE is just around the corner. Had I done this look any other time, I probably would have incorporated matte shades (especially the purple) but this is for New Years! Enjoy! :)

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!

EYES:
□ Urban Decay Primer Potion
□ MAC Bare Study Paint Pot
□ Buck eyeshadow (crease & transition color)
□ Sidecar eyeshadow (inner half of eyelid & inner lower lash line)

□ Darkhorse eyeshadow (outer corner & crease)
□ Creep eyeshadow (outer corner & outer lower lash line)
□ MAC Studio Finish Concealer (brow bone highlight)
□ Wet N Wild Creme Liner (upper lash line)
□ Maybelline Falsies Flared Mascara
□ Model 21 Lashes #12

Glittery Blue Makeup for New Years

Hi! Here's my first festive look for New Years using glitter. I wish it was more glittery but I'll try to incorporate more of that in another look. I used clear lash adhesive to apply the glitter onto my eyelid. I always use this technique especially with glitter because it lasts so much longer without fading or creasing.

Christmas Inspired Makeup

I can't believe Christmas is over :( It went by so fast! All the anticipation and preparation felt so long and now it's over and done with. I wanted to post this look before Christmas but I couldn't get around to it. But anyone could pull off this color combo whenever they want, if they're nto bold and colorful looks! Anyway, New Years is just around the corner and I have a feeling it's gonna go buy just as quick as Christmas did. I know some of you are into bright colors and glitter for New Years so I'm hoping to get some looks before then. I only wish I can film tutorials for these looks but I'll see what I can do! Hope you all had a Merry Christmas! Enjoy the look! :)

Golden Bronze Naked Palette Look

First off, Merry Christmas Eve! :D I'm LOVING my Urban Decay Naked Palette but I find it so difficult to photograph. Does anyone else have this problem? Usually I have this problem with frosty/shimmery eyeshadows and since majority of these shadows have a frost finish, it was hard to capture the the look of it. I'm going to play around with it more and hopefully I could get better pictures next time :)

LOOK: Sugar Plumdrops

How's everyone's Christmas shopping going? I'm not finished yet but I think I'm close to being done. I'm supposed to be doing some major shopping tomorrow or Thursday and hopefully by then I'll be done. I don't think I have much of a choice! I think my favorite part of Christmas is shopping for other people and wrapping their presents. I love to wrap present for some reason (but only on Christmas). I just get super excited when I go shopping for other people during this time of year no matter how much I hate crowded malls. I guess it's the spirit of Christmas that makes me think unselfishly of myself and that's why I get really happy about giving to others.

But anyway, this isn't technically a Holiday look but it can be if you want it to! This is just the look I had a few nights ago when my boyfriend and I went to dinner. I really wish I had done a tutorial for this look and my previous holiday look (click here to see) but I can't do tutorials right now since the lens on my camera is dirty from inside. The dust or whatever it is is visible when I try to focus it :( So until then I won't be doing tutorials yet. Hope you all enjoy this look anyway! Thanks for reading. :)
