Naturally Smokey

So I have to say I’m confused a bit, because the look I made was with silver and dark grey. In the camera, with and without flash, it appears shimmery brown! It’s a bit frustrating. I can’t show you guys my real intention.

But it’s still a look, so I thought I’d post it anyways. Next time I’ll find better (out-door) lighting to bring out the true colors. Sorry about that!

How to:

1) Prime lid

2) Apply neutral shade over entire lid

3) Apply a dark grey in the outer corner, along the crease, and along your upper and lower lash lines.

4) Apply a shimmery silver to the ball of your lid and the inner corner

5) Line your upper lash line with black pencil liner

6) Apply mascara to top and bottom lashes

7) Set liner with black powder

YOU’RE ALL SET!

Feeling Feminine & Classy

I am so in love with this look I cannot even explain. I am already a big fan of Jennifer Lawrence, and this photo just took my breath away.

(To get: Smokey eyes, heavy contour/blush, and neutral lips. The hair? Photo says it all.)

I am a big fan the good old-fashioned feminine beauty. I feel like it’s something that we’ve been losing these days. But….. it’s slowly coming back!

As a woman, I love dressing up! The red lipstick, jewelry, flowing skirts, fancy up-dos, etc. There’s no better time than fall/winter to bring out the bling!

Everyday Autumn Look

Here’s a very simple and easy everyday look that’ll be easy for school and/or work.:

IMG_0729

1 ) Apply a neutral wash of colour over the lid from lashline to crease, then brush a slightly darker shade into your outer crease.

2) Line the upper lash-line with black pencil liner, and smudge it out a very teeny bit at the corners. Whatever’s left on your smudger can be lightly applied to the bottom lash-line.

3) Apply concealer and BB cream and set (very lightly) with powder. Dust some apricot blush on.

4) Apply one or two coats of lengthening mascara.

5) Sweep a warm redish-brown gloss over your lips to create the “autumn look”.

6) Brush and clip your upper hair behind, and throw on some classy earrings.

7) Don’t forget perfume!

That’s it! Your set for the day. All you have to do is carry that lipgloss around with your for re-application.

As you can see, I didn’t mention brand names. I honestly don’t like to do so because I feel like every girl has their own favourite black liner, or blush brand.

If you ladies ever want to know the name of a product I use please ask!

Have a cozy autumn season gals! (:

You Never Know…

You never know what you’re gonna find when digging through your mother’s old stuff! Chanel Number Five? No way!

It turns out it was a gift from my dad to my Mom way back, as he was trying to win her heart. He won!

IMG_0582

Life is full of surprises! Many little wonders we find have wonderful stories behind them. Sometimes the best ones are the ones with a mystery story that you have to find out for yourself!

I mean, Chanel Number Five’s don’t just happen to be anywhere!
