Skull Top, Denim Jacket, & Studded Wedge Sneakers

       So I decided since I'm not on top of my makeup video game as much as I've wanted, I'm resorting to being more active on my blog posts. I have been so MIA and keep saying I'll stop and be continuous with uploads and what not but I procrastinate so much on videos because I am just so lazy. These fashion posts are pretty easy because I just do my daily routine; get beautified & dressed. The only extra I have to do is drag my sister with me just down the street to shoot some pictures and for some reason that's easier for me than making a video at home. But don't worry, I plan on shooting a video tomorrow so my videos are still coming.
      Anyways, so I had been wanting a pair of wedged sneakers for some time now but I was afraid to get a pair because no one at my school wore them and I had never seen anyone out and around wearing them but I decided to look past that and just get them because I loved them so much. Basically, this outfit was worked out around the shoes. I owned every piece already except for the denim jacket, I actually bought that specifically to finish off the outfit because I didn't like how my leather jackets looked with it and I didn't own any jean jackets for myself. I used to hate denim jackets but this is the one I approved of for myself to wear. I am so in love with the shoes and they are so comfortable since they are low wedges. These are the only shoes with a height that I will wear out on a daily basis. You will never see me in a pair of wedges or pumps because I just feel weird wearing them out, I'll only wear them for weddings or dances. But that's off topic, so back to the shoes. These will probably reappear in future fashion posts because I'm dieing to find other outfits to wear them with. They're not one hit wonders.

Pink Champagne, Purple & Navy Smoky Eye Look

For this look I decided to go for a glittery pink, purple, and bluish smoky eye. For the face I decided to keep it natural with a bit of bronzer, a peach bronzer, and a nude lipstick. I love pink, purple, and blue so I enjoyed putting them into an eye look. This look contains some colors people normally wouldn’t use everyday but it really isn’t that dramatic of a look compared to most smoky eyes. I think this is a great eye look if you want to have some fun with makeup but not go too out there with it. You could always substitute the dark purple and dark blue for lighter shades of each and take out the liner on the bottom lash line for less drama if you wanted. Personally, I like the look how it is (mainly because if I didn’t, I would’ve done it differently of course). Hopefully, you guys like this one!

Champagne and Teal Smoky Cat Eye Look

 

So I decided to make up my own look for the first time because I hadn’t seen any new makeup looks I cared to recreate. I also didn’t do an intro for this video or an ending because well... I forgot :p But I doubt those are really important for a video anyways and I just might not add them in on purpose for future videos because it saves time! Who really cares for intros anyways? But back to the look! The eyes were a champagne on the lid, a deep glittery teal on the outer portion (Looks black in the video & pictures but I assure you in person it looks like a deep teal), winged liner in the outer corner and inner corner, black rimmed eyes, and spiky fake lashes. For the face, it was just a natural mauve shade and for the lips it was glossy nude pink lips. I hope you enjoy!

L'Oreal Colour Riche Lipstick in Fairest Nude

 (Picture on the left is my bare lip and picture on the right is my lip with Fairest Nude on.)

Some time ago I purchased the L'Oreal Colour Riche Lipstick in Fairest Nude. From the pictures it looks like it'd be a deeper natural lip color but it's actually a natural light pink. The finish is a creme finish with some nice shine and because it's a creme finish it is pretty moisturizing which is nice and it is also fairly opaque. The lasting power is good, you only have to reapply it every few hours. This lipstick runs around $6.00 which isn't too bad and you could probably get it for even cheaper because L'Oreal always has different coupons in the paper or online so look out for that. The smell of this lipstick isn't really my favorite.. It almost smells like roses and that's really not a smell I'm a fan of. I'd rather it smell like vanilla or something fruity because those are actually enjoyable smells! It reminds me of my grandmas perfume but that's just me. Now for the packaging it's just gold all over which once again reminds me of my grandma for some reason, it really isn't the nicest packaging in my opinion but that really isn't important. This is a really nice everyday lip color for lighter skin tones but if you are a bit darker, it could be a really nice nude. Overall I'd give this lipstick an 8/10 because it's a really nice lipstick but the smell and packaging is not the best.

Rita Ora "How We Do (Party)" Inspired Makeup Look

**(Inspiration Picture) Print Screened from the music video**

For this look I decided to recreate Rita Ora’s look in her music video for her song “How We Do (Party)”. I just discovered her and her music and I love her now! She always has gorgeous, fun makeup and I can’t wait to recreate more looks of hers. But for this look she had a bronzy eye, electric purple liner, natural skin and shimmery nude glossy lips. Another look she had in the video had the same eyes but pinker cheeks and red lips. Personally, I thought this look would be more practical to do which is why I went for it but I thought she pulled off the red lip with the look just as good.

Rihanna "Where Have You Been" Music Video Inspired Makeup Tutorial

**(Inspiration Picture)Print Screened from the music video**

In this tutorial I recreated one of Rihanna’s look in her music video for her song “Where Have You Been”. She had two or three makeup looks in the video and I decided to go with the one that used red eye shadow because the other ones were mostly black with no color whatsoever and this one actually had something extra. There are really rare occasions where a makeup look I do actually uses red so I’m glad I ended up being able to use it in this look. This look was red on the lid, grey in the crease, Black in the outer corner, gold in the inner corner, black on the lower lash line, smudged liner, black rimmed eyes, bronzed face and nude lips. I hope you enjoy!
