Christmas Eve Makeup

Hello everyone! I'm feeling so inspired for the holidays this year with all the green and red colors that I decided to include it in one look and make it work! I discovered 'Old Gold' pigment by MAC and I love the finish on this one! It's a green gold so I found with a darker base it appears more green with a golden sheen so I had to create a smokey eye using it. I then paired it with my favorite red lip combo and you're set! It reminded me of something I'd wear on Christmas Eve, I mean I like my glitter on Christmas day ;) Try it out!

Hope you enjoy!

Holiday Glam Makeup Tutorial ♡

Hello ladies! As promised, here's my first holiday makeup tutorial! I used the Urban Decay Naked Palette to create this look because it's very convenient to have and travel around with. It's a simple palette, perfect for the holidays, that has both neutral and daring shades. I love using the eyeshadow 'halfbaked' around this time of the year since it's so rich and a very versatile shade! Pair it with a bold lip and you're set for the colder months! Try this out for yourself and let me know what you think!

Hope you enjoy!

Simple & Flattering Makeup Tutorial ♡

Hello again! So I've been wearing this look a whole lot recently because it's so simple and I'm always getting compliments on it! It's nice to get compliments especially on something that takes no time at all to do. I hope you don't mind another simple tutorial, but that's basically all I'm allowed to wear for work. More smokey and dramatic looks will come out around the holidays so keep an eye out for those! Let me know what you think! :)

Hope you enjoy!

Double Winged Liner with a Red Lip ♡

Hello! For this look I decided to try the double winged liner effect and I think this is a great technique to do to make your eyes appear larger, especially with the white separating the two flicks. I paired it with a red lip because it somewhat reminded me of Marilyn Monroe and I thought, 'Why not?' I hope you try it out and let me know what you think!

Hope you enjoy!
