Easy Naked Palette Makeup Tutorial ♡

Hey everyone! I thought I would film my eye makeup as I was getting ready to go about my day. I wanted to use my Urban Decay Naked Palette since a lot of you might own one. I'm really enjoying the Naked Palettes because their shades are so effortless and they go with everything! I hope you try it out for yourself and get them if you haven't already!

Hope you enjoy!

Mint & Brown Homecoming Makeup Tutorial ♡

Hello! For this makeup look, I was requested to do a mint and brown homecoming look since homecoming is just around the corner! As soon as I was asked I had an idea of the makeup look in my head and I'm really happy with how it turned out. It's very girly and glamorous and I love the complimentary baby pink I used to pair the eyes with for the lips and cheeks. Hopefully you like it and try it out!

Hope you enjoy!

'Butterfly Effect' Inspired Smokey Eye ♡

Hey! So I was looking through Elle magazine and I noticed in the beauty section a picture of this new trend called the 'Butterfly Effect.' This specific eye makeup the model was wearing really caught my eye. I was mesmerized with all the beautiful colors and how unique it looked so I had to recreate it. I hope you like my interpretation of the 'Butterfly Effect' Inspired Smokey Eye!

Hope you enjoy!

Get ready with me/Meeting Jasmine Villegas Sep 9th ♡

Hello! This is my first 'Get ready with me' type video and I just filmed the makeup I wore to see Jasmine Villegas. She had a mini concert in my area and I thought I would share my footage with you guys and a few pictures from the meet and greet! If you guys aren't familiar with who she is, she was the main girl in Justin Bieber's 'Baby' music video and not only that but she has her own album that I've just been listening to non-stop :) It was a great experience for my sisters and I to say the least!

Hope you enjoy!

'Nude Beach' Inspired Tutorial ft. Still Glamorus Cosmetics ♡

Hey guys! For this tutorial I was inspired by a specific pigment in 'Nude Beach' by Still Glamorus Cosmetics. It's a very versatile, neutral shade that can be paired with cool or
warm eyeshadows and I've had this pigment for 3 years now! I found it in my makeup drawer and I remember wearing this pigment everyday when I first got it and somehow it
got lost in my collection so I'm glad I found it because now I'm incorporating this eyeshadow in all of my looks. I also own a pigment by SGC in 'Jazzy' and it's a beautiful, bright, highlighting shade with a few hints of sparkles! I love using this in my tear duct area, under my brow
or on the inner part of the lid to brighten my overall eye makeup! These pigments are so rich in color and very easy to blend and I'm just overall impressed. I do plan on
purchasing more and I have been for a while now because these pigments are just very easy to work with and I have a love/hate relationship with pigments in general, but not
with these! Plus, if you want an intense payoff you have the option to use them wet! I'm really pleased and excited to purchase more in the future! :) And no, I'm not being sponsored
by the SGC company. I truly enjoy them and I purchased them myself. :)

Hope you enjoy!

My Everyday Face/Contouring Routine + Rihanna Battleship Premier Inspired Makeup ♡

Hello! One of my viewers requested a contoured/bronze face makeup look so I did my everyday face/contouring routine and I added a bronzy/coppery makeup tutorial inspired by Rihanna with it as well! I was inspired from her Tokyo, Japan Battleship Premier and her makeup looked so flawless and effortless! Hopefully this helped some of you and I'd love to know what you guys think!
