Urban Decay Electric Pressed Pigment Palette Eyeshadow Tutorial

Hey guys! It's been a while since I've done a tutorial, but the Electric palette from Urban Decay has inspired me again :) So let's stop the chit chat and get started! All the products I use will be listed as I go.

First start off with a clean eye and prime with an eyeshadow primer. I used Urban Decay Primer Potion. Then you want to use a white cream base to make these bright shadows pop. I used NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk.


Then I added Freak to the eyelid with a flat shader brush. Do not go above the crease with this color.


Next I added Thrash to the inner corner and blended it into Freak.


Next I added Gonzo to the outer third of my eye. This picture will be before I blended it.


And now taking a clean fluffy brush, I blended Gonzo in Freak and added color and blended over and over until I was happy with the saturation.


Then I took Urban on a small pencil brush and mapped out where I wanted the color and then I took another clean brush and blended it upward towards the browbone.



Taking that same blending brush, I picked up a little of Jilted and blended that into and a little above Urban.


Next on an angled brush I put fringe on the outer half of the lower lash line.


And then I took Freak and put it in the middle of the lower lash line blending it into Fringe and Freak.


After adding some final touches like gel liner on the upper lash line, mascara, and bright pink lipstick, you are done! Here are some pictures of the finished look.

Tarte Cheek Stain in Blissful Review and Swatches

Hey guys! I'm here today with a review of Tarte's Cheek Stain in Blissful. The color is very peachy on the warm side. My favorite thing about this product is that it's really sheer. Honestly you couldn't use too much. It looks so natural on the cheeks. There is very very fine golden shimmer which gives your cheeks this gorgeous glow. By the end of the day, the 'glow' isn't there, but the color is. I just dot it on my cheeks and smooth in with two fingers. I like that I don't have to use a brush. The only problem I have with this product is the packaging. You have to push from the bottom to get more product and if you push it too far, which is easy, you have to push the top back down with your fingers and it dents the product itself. Other than that, I LOVE this cheek stain and cannot wait to buy more. If you would like to purchase this, you can for $30 here.





The right side is heavily swatched. The left side is blended.

Tarte Amazonian Clay Airbrush Foundation Review

Hey guys! I'm here with a review of Tarte's Airbrush Foundation. It is a powder foundation that feels velvety smooth on the skin. When I put it on, it has a flawless, matte finish and stay on the whole day with zero shine which is amazing. One of my favorite things about this product is that it has buildable coverage, so on days you want more or less foundation, it's really easy to do! I use a dense fluffy brush meant for mineral foundation but I really really want the Airbuki Bamboo Powder Foundation brush that Tarte created along with this foundation. I received a sample of this foundation along with a Sephora order and I will purchase the full size as soon as I finish my mini! It comes in 11 shades and the shade I got is faire - light neutral. The full size costs $36 and if you would like to purchase this foundation for yourself you can here. Now for photos!

Sunset Makeup Tutorial

Hey guys! Today I am doing a Sunset makeup tutorial inspired by the sunsets at the beach! So let's get started. All the products used will be listed at the end.

First start with a clean face. All I have on is moisturizer.
Foundation
Concealer (LOVE this step. Makes acne seem like it was never there)
Blush, bronzer, and highlighter
Now onto the eyes. First step is to prime with a white eyeshadow pencil because you want your colors to pop!
Then add your orange color to your lid. Well, mine is kind of a dark, burnt orange.
Then I blended a dark purple.
Then I added black liner to my upper lash line and waterline. And then mascara.

And then add a sheer peach lipcolor (or a bright one!) and you're done!
