Hello everyone! For the holidays I feel like everyone's doing the gold eye with the red lip, which is very classic and beautiful, but I wanted to do a little bit more for the eyes, something sexy and smokey.

Easy Day to Night Makeup ft. MAC Smokeluxe Palette ♡

Hey guys! I thought this would be a helpful 2 in 1 video with 2 makeup looks using one palette! It's a small, 5 eyeshadow palette that has endless options when it comes to creating your simple and/or dramatic makeup looks. MAC offers 6 different palettes with all new shades and ever since they came out I've been relying on them and using them for last minute looks. I hope you guys find it useful and try it out for yourselves. 


Hope you enjoy!

Barbara Palvin VS Inspired Makeup ♡

Hello everyone! I was requested to do a Barbara Palvin inspired makeup from the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show when she had on the candy cane lingerie and it's a great every day look to wear especially in the Fall time considering the colors. Her's was definitely more intense on the lower lash line so the look I recreated is softer and appropriate for any age group. This will definitely compliment a lot of eye colors as well as skin tones so give it a shot and let me know what you think.

RIRI ♥ M∙A∙C Fall Inspired Tutorial ♡

Hello everyone! For today's tutorial I wanted to do a Fall makeup look and what perfect way to introduce Fall than with Rihanna's limited edition makeup collection launching today(Sept 26th) in MAC stores! She's coming out with lipsticks, eyeshadows, blushes, the whole shebang, with colors that are great for transitioning to Fall. I used products that are similar to the colors coming out to create this look that's inspired by one of the display makeup looks. I think it came out great and I'd love to see you recreate it! :)

An easy way to use Pressed Pigments! ♡

Hello again! For this look I wanted to incorporate my current obsession, MAC's Pressed Pigments, 'Black Grape' in particular. I love this glittery, deep purple eyeshadow and it looks amazing on every skin tone! I shared with you my technique to apply this eyeshadow in this tutorial since a lot of girls are confused on how it works. If you aren't familiar with Pressed Pigments, they're basically an intensely highlighted eyeshadow that provides a lot of glitter that creates a wet effect. They're such an easy way to take a look from casual to glamorous. Check them out and try them for yourself, but be careful, you might become obsessed with them as much as I am! ;)

Hope you enjoy!
