Gold Glitter Look ☆⭐︎☆

So how gorgeous is this gold glitter look?! I am seriously obsessed and i do believe this is going to be my "go to" look for all the holiday parties coming up :) I first started out on my eyes, before doing my face makeup, only because glitter tends to get a little messy!

• First I primed my lids with a thin layer of MAC Pro longwear concealer in NW20.
• Next I added a medium sized piece of tape on the outer corner of my eye, lining up with my bottom lash line, up towards the end of my eyebrow. 
• After that I applied a think layer of NYX Jumbo pencil in the color "Milk"
• Next I went in with my Sigma E40 tapered blending brush and used my bronzer to define my upper crease a little bit, I then went in with a slightly more red toned brown and blended the 2 colors out, giving a really nice transition color.
• After that I went in with my Sigma E25 blending brush, and I used "Faint" by Urban Decay (just a dark matte brown) and I started working that into my crease, and really defined my outer V.
• With the same brush and only a little bit of Urban Decay's "Blackout," I also worked that into my crease, slightly, just to define 
• the crease a bit more!
• After that I just took my E40 brush and blended out any harsh lines
• I then took a smaller blending brush and added just a matte yellow tone beige color under my brow and highlighted my brow bone.
• I pulled off the tape to begin the next steps.
• For my bottom lash line I used Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On pencil in "Perversion" to line my waterline and tight line my upper lash line.
• With a smaller pencil brush I took a bit of the dark brown color and smoked out the bottom liner
• I used a dark black liquid liner to line up lash line and create a wing
• Then I added 2 thin layers of mascara
• Added 2 pairs of Ardell lashes, for extra length and volume
• I did my regular full face routine, contour and highlight then...
• I lined my lips with a red liner, and filled them in with MAC's "Ruby Woo", I then used a dark plum color to line the outer lip and used Milani "Sangria" and Wet n' Wild "Cherry Bomb" to fill in the outer corners and ombre' it towards the middle of the lip!
• I set it all with Urban Decay's "Deslick" setting spray and

WAH- LA!

Updated Foundation Routine For Oily Skin! ♥

This is how I have been doing my foundation EVERY SINGLE DAY! My technique changes about every 3-4 months, also depending on the seasons/weather, but this way has really been working bombb. I have really reallllly oily skin, and with this technique it literally keeps me oil free and  super matte throughout the whole freakin' day :)

VAMPY LOOK!

        Hello Lovies!! Today's look was full force VAMPY! My inspiration behind this look was my current obsession with The Vampire Diaries!! I recently dyed my hair black, so I feel like these dark lips go great with darker hair :)

I did my normal foundation and contour/highlight routine...

For my eyes-

I primed them with my MAC Pro long wear concealer in NW20... I used my sigma E40 to slightly define my crease with "Maybe Later" by NYX. I then took my sigma E25 brush and took the color "Faint" by Urban Decay and added that to the outer v, and all in my crease and worked my up a bit, to give that gradient effect. I then took a bit of "Crave" by Urban Decay and defined my outer v a tad bit more. Finally i added "Bootycall" by Urban Decay on my brow bone and inner corner, and with my finger I added a mix of "Half Baked" and "Chopper" by Urban Decay all on my lid. After all that i took my E25 brush and just went back over my outer v, with NO MORE PRODUCT, just whatever was left over! I lined my waterline and tight light with "Perversion" Urban Decay 24/7 glide on eyeliner. I then lined my top lash line with Maybelline "Blackest Black" Cream liner. I topped all that off with some Ardell #120 lashes!

For my lips-

I added soft lips chap stick to moisturize my lips. Then with "Plum" retractable lip liner by NYX i lined my lips and filled them in. I then topped that with "Sangria" by Milani.

 & that's it :)
