Valentine's Day Makeup Look & Tutorial

Hi everyone! Being that it is February and the month of LOVE, I decided to dedicate this post to Valentine's Day since it is about a week away from now. I'm not sure what my plans are for Valentine's Day yet but I told my boyfriend that I will making dinner plans for us since he is usually the one to make reservations. Around late January I was thinking of making reservations to this Italian restaurant which had really great reviews but I was thinking it was too soon to make reservations. Boy was I wrong! I tried to make a reservation today and there were no more available seats for reservations. I was kind of disappointed because now I have to look for another restaurant. Any suggestions for a romantic dinner in San Diego?!

Anyway, here's a look I did today that I thought was Valentine's Day-esque. I think the colors are fun and flirty! I had no idea how this look was going to come out. I literally just grabbed the colors as the camera was rolling. I decided to go for a nude lip but even a soft pink lip would look great. Next tutorial I'm going to do will be a simple eye with a bold lip using one of my Maybelline Vivids lipstick. Hope you all enjoy the look and have a Happy Valentine's Day!

Simple Valentine's Day Makeup

Sorry everyone, this tutorial came out so horribly. I did this later in the day so my makeup isn't as fresh as it should've been. But I had time to knock off a tutorial which is why I went for it. I decided to go with a subtle pink for an inspired Valentine's Day look for those who want to go with something more simple. For what it is I hope you all like it. Thanks for reading. Enjoy! :)

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! :)

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

LOOK: Smokey Teal with a Pop of Red + Tutorial

This look is actually an inspired and recreated look of YouTube Guru Jazziebabycakes' Painted Lady tutorial. She's super talented and I'm a huge fan of her work and when I was browsing through her videos I fell in love with this so I decided to do my rendition of it. I think it came out a little bit sloppy (compared to hers). It was really late and my eyes kept watering but I kept going! I had a lot of fun doing this look because it's definitely something that I'm not used to. But it's nice to step out of my comfort zone every now and then. :) Thanks for reading! Enjoy! :)

Beyonce "Countdown" Official Music Video Inspired Makeup

A Youtube guru by the name of BEATFACEHONEY did a look inspired by Beyonce's Countdown video and I fell in love with it so I decided to recreate it in my own way. I thought this look would be fun to do and since Halloween isn't too far from now maybe some of you can get inspiration for how you want to do your makeup. The yellow really makes the look stand out but you can definitely substitute the yellow for another fun color. I think a bright green or a hot pink would look so fierce with this look! Anyway I hope you all enjoy. Thanks for reading! :)

Quick Post: Inspired EOTD

I did this look merely for fun because I wanted to step out of my comfort zone because it's been a while since I pulled off a bright color like this. I was really inspired by Fashionista804 on YouTube. I'm not sure what she used exactly but I just decided to use whatever shadows I had on hand. This was taken on my iPhone through the Instagram app (Follow me! Username: damnyoufine). The blue came out really bright and I almost didn't want to walk out my house with it on because it's just been so long since I've done something like this. But I thought that if other people were brave enough to do it then I should too. What better way to express my love for my makeup than to go bold, right? Anyway, I just thought I would share it here as well since I really like how it came out. :) Sorry I don't have any real pictures to show off this look. I really didn't plan on blogging about it.

Products Used:
Blanc Type on the entire lid
MAC Off the Radar pigment [LE] applied to the crease (any burnt orange color will work)
MAC Coppering eyeshadow applied right over the orange to give it more warmth
Urban Decay Electric eyeliner applied to the lower lash line and lower waterline
Inglot #371 matte eyeshadow applied on top of the liner to set it
Wet N Wild Creme Liner
False eyelashes from Bornprettystore.com Style #004

St. Patty's Day Look

Hey beautifuls! I meant to post this look yesterday as my St. Patrick's Day look but I didn't have any time to blog. I figured yesterday would be a good time to incorporate some colors in my makeup, and what better way to break the ice than to do a bright neon green look! My camera still has a hard time picking up the intensity of my makeup so it appeared a lot brighter in person. So these pictures don't do much justice. I guess this look turned out okay for me. I'm a little rusty in my makeup and it shows a lot in this look. But it's all good for me! You win some, you lose some. And the whole point of blogging my looks is to see my progress. So yeah! Anyway, hope you all have a great rest of the week. Enjoy! :)

This was taken through a special effect on my camera. I thought it brought out the green a lot! :)

Sunset On Thanksgiving

Haha okay so let me explain the title. I tried to recreate my Thanksgiving look (I know I am long overdue) so this is the look that I came up with. It isn't even the same look but I thought it was a little Thanksgiving-esque. Nonetheless I hope you all like it. I also recorded a really random video with my iPhone which is surprising because I don't do videos anymore! Hahah. But yeah I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving! Happy Holidays!! :)
