As eye see it!

As in one of my previous posts, I talked about how people are afraid of color. Well that seems to be the case in not just lips, but in eyes as well! See, what people don't realize is there is a way to wear color without channelling an 80's pop icon. The trick is to always wear the brightest color on the outside corner of your eye where your lid meets the crease of your eyelid. Then blend with a more neutral or darker color below that, and finish with the lightest color (a white or neutral) the closest to the inside corner of your eye. Be sure to blend well with a good brush or it will look silly when you close your eyes!

P-P-Plump it up!

Hi everyone! Sorry it has been a little while since my last post! Being a makeup artist, summer is my busiest season, so i've been out doing what I love :) This post will be short and sweet, and will be just a little tip and trick I like to use while doing makeup, that I would like to share it with all of you :) Everyone I think can agree, that a nice plump lip is what we all strive to have. Some of us have tried countless options like; lip plumpers, heavy lip glosses, too much lip liner, or even surgery or fillers to achieve this look. Well I'm here to tell you, none of that is necessary (at least on a daily basis) with my little trick!

First thing is to invest in a lip liner in a soft pink, almost the same shade as your lips, but a tad lighter. Apply to just the inner bottom part of your lower lip, just enough that it shapes it (you should not put on so much that you're able to tell youre wearing liner) and then repeat with arches of your top lip. (See picture below where the dots are marked) Make sure to blend it well so that it just enhances your natural lip line, not creates a new one.

Finish off the look with a shiny balm or soft lip gloss, and there you have it! A daily lip plumper without investing in costly options, that frankly are unecessary:)
