Colorful Spiked Eyes

Halloween Anyone? 

I hope your day has been good so far. I just wanted to write a little about this particular make-up look that I created on myself. I orginally wanted to make it an extreme wearable look and yes "wearable" but kinda got carried away with COLOR. This was so fun to do, but took a long time mainly because I wasn't quite sure where I was trying to take this look. This would be a cute make-up look for halloween especially if your like me and never really dresses up, but wants to do something creative.   


What did I do?
I used a white eyeshadow base all over my eye and kinda got carried away and used it to make my skin look even more ghostly white. Then, used several of the chubby eyeshadow pencils to make my spikes on my eye and lower lash line trying to make the lines as straight as possible. Then, picked out the colors I wanted to use to fill in my spikes. The lips are really cool I used a lip balm first and then put a green eyeshadow on top, and in the center to give it an ombre kinda look I used a gold to show that my lips had some dimension. Oh and as for my eyebrows I colored them with a white chubby pencil and place shadows on top just to lighten and color them you know just depending on which side your doing.

I think this would look completely awesome to have both eyes look the same using which ever side is your favorite.

I hope you enjoyed this post like I said before this was so fun.

Makeup Tip # 2: Eyeshadow

“Hmmmm… have you ever wondered what is the point of wearing eyeshadow?” Well in my opinion eyeshadow is worn to draw attention to the eyes, to give the eyes more definition, and of course it makes us feel gorgeous :D. However, not all eyeshadow forms are easy to apply, nor do they do any justice for your eyes.
Eyeshadows can be complicated to apply depending on what form you have chosen to use. When choosing eyeshadows you want to try to use colors that best complement not only your skin tone but your personality. No matter what your skin tone is, all that matters is your self confidence. When wearing bright, bold, or neutrals colors on your eyes; you should make sure that your personality shows through in your creation.
Types Eyeshadow:
  • Powders
  • Loose Eyeshadow
  • Pigment Eyeshadow
  • Mineral Eyeshadow
  • Compact Eyeshadows (original) :D
  • Cream Eyeshadow
  • Pencil Eyeshadow
  • Liquids Eyeshadow
** I am sure there are other types these are just the most common ones. **
When applying eyeshadows you should take into consideration about what you are using to apply them with. Most people do not think that it truly matters what you use to apply the shadows with, but it is almost as important as it is to pick out what colors you’re going to use. When choosing the right brushes to use it helps create a beautiful picture on your eyelids. (Not literally) :D

Types of Brushes:
  •  All over the eye Brush
  •  Crease Brush
  •  Blending Brush
  •  Highlighting Brush
In my own personal opinion I feel to create a more defined, beautiful, and clean look these are the brushes to use.
Thank you for reading if you have any questions please ask :D I will be glad to help in any way possible. I hope everyone has a wonderful Tuesday.
XOXO

Makeup of the Day









Today has been a very chilled and relaxed day.  I went to school and then work, the look I have on today is just quick and simple. I used a primer all over the eye and just a natural cream color on top. Then I used perfect wear liquid liner from Avon in “Evening Black” in my opinion it is one of the best ones they have. I just lined the top of my lash line and extended the liner to make a winged cat eye. Next I got a vibrant bold color which I used a bright neon turquoise blue to line my lower lash line to add a pop of color; that away the look isn’t too simple. Lastly I used the Shock mascara from Avon in “Black” it is AWESOME because it lengthens and thickens my lashes without any clumps. I hope everyone’s day is going good I am just extremely excited that I am turning “21” tomorrow! I can’t believe that time is going by so fast. I hope everyone enjoys the rest of their day.

:D Alyssa

Makeup Tip # 1

Lip Balm:
Keeping your lips moisturized is important. In my opinion I feel that using a lip balm is a necessity in everyone’s daily routine.  Keeping your lips moisturized will lower your chances in having chapped and cracked lip and will help the burning sensation that you might feel when your lips are at the beginning of getting chapped. There are tons of lip balms that I have tried, and so far there are 3 that work the best for my lips and that I am absolutely in love with.
1.       Moisture therapy lip balm- This lip balm is very affordable and has a wonderful texture when being applied to the lips. Also you can purchase this lip balm from Avon and it is only $1.50.

2.       Aquafina Hydrating Lip balm- Their lip balms are made for hydration and contain botanicals of jojoba oil, almond oil, and vitamins. Also this lip balm is a little bit minty, which is a personal favorite. You can purchase this lip balm at a drugstore and they are about $4.99 for a pack of 3 lip balms.

3.       Dew Kiss- This lip dew is very moisturizing and is made to leave a dewy finish to your lips. You can get this lip balm also from Avon for only $.99.
I hope that this was helpful and this is just the first makeup tip that I have for you. There are plenty more tips that I have about makeup, beauty, and fashion. I will also be expressing my opinion on many of the items that I mention in my blogs. J

A little bit about my day:
Today has been a good day so far this morning I went to school and had a test. (?) I feel I did well but you never quite know until you get your grade. J I have also had a good day at work too; it has been a steady and calm day. Which every now and then it’s a good thing. Well I hope everyone has a wonderful and blessed day.

Hello Everyone...

So, I've decided to start a blog. I am basically going to blog about Makeup and Beauty, and also give you a few tips and tricks that I have learned or that I have been using since I can remember. As well as expressing my opinion on products that I find or have been using. Hmmm... and who knows maybe every now and then I might share a little bit about what is going on in my life. I just want everyone to feel comfortable to share any tips that you may have with me and everyone else. <3

As for today I just want to share a little bit about me. I am 20 year of age and in exactly a week I will be turning 21!!! I am so excited and a little nervous that I am getting OLDER! :) My family is my biggest inspiration I think god everyday for letting me have such a supporting family. I am hoping my blog goes well and I hope to inspire people with my ideas and knowledge. Hopefully I will also post any Fashion ideas that I may have or maybe I should make a wish list and update it every time I see something AWESOME! Yep, I'm going to like this a lot. So please follow along. :)


Best wishes
