Hey everyone!


So here is a look I did using ONLY MAC Coppering as an eyeshadow all over. I really love the colour and it's so unique, so I decided I would try and really make it stand out (instead of just blending it in with other colors like I usually do). This look was so simple/fast to do, and I felt like it just really made my eyes glow. I think that this is an eyeshadow that would look beautiful on other colored eyes (most especially blue eyes). I was worried about how it would look but I think it turned out to be pretty flattering! I saw a Youtube tutorial where Pixi2woo paired Coppering with Creme Cup lipstick so I thought I would try that at first. My sister said it looked really horrible and "too clashy," so I switched it up with just a nude lip. I kind of liked it with the soft pink lip though... What do you think? I'm not entirely sure, I don't really think the two lip colors look that different from each other... I like both... Anyways I hope you like it!

Urban Decay primer potion
MAC Coppering [lid, crease, lower lash line]
Aveda kohl pencil [waterlines, smudged on upper lash line]

Here it is with the soft pink lip:



...And with the nude lip: 




I was very proud of my color coordinating because my shirt was bright orange and blue, and I had orange on my eyes, block blue nailpolish, and I wore blue heels and a blue purse too. So I wanted to show my shirt. Don't mind the pose, I was listening to Rick Ross, haha.



Do you have Coppering eyeshadow or something similar? How do you like to wear it?

Fire Look!

Hey everyone, 
So today I was looking at random pictures of birds online, and was kind of inspired by the beak of a bird for a makeup look! It had yellow and bright orange in it and they looked so beautiful together. I decided to take the colours from the beak and do a matte look with them, and I added some shimmery purple underneath the eye for fun. I did go out with this look, I was kind of nervous because it was SO bright but I received some compliments which felt kind of nice ha ha. Anyways I hope you like it! Here is the inspiration photo:


Isn't it beautiful?! Image Source


*tip: if you want to wear bright colors (especially mattes) but are worried they will look too 80's or tacky, pairing a sharp black eyeline with it will help keep the look modern. you can also try blending brights with some matte browns in the crease in order to avoid having bright colors high up in your crease :)
