EYE LINER ADDICT! What kind do you prefer? Gel, liquid or pencil?


I tried pencil eye liner back in high school when I was just learning to do my eye liner. For those who are beginners, I would say pencil is easier to apply. A great pencil eye liner should be waterproof to avoid smudging. Urban decay glide-on  eye liner pencil is amazing! 
24/7 Glide on eye pencil- zero $20. Not only does it stay for the whole day, it is so black which is what I always look for. I don't like that gray/black look eye liner on me. It must be defined. If that's what you are looking for, this is your pencil! 
However, I like very precised eye liner, not too thick which usually happens with pencil. So for years I used liquid eye liner. MAGIC INK JET BLACK LIQUID EYE LINER is perfect! I swear it's so black, to be specific, it's jet black! Doesn't move, doesn't smudge, black forever, the eye liner is so precise, easy to apply because of the length of the brush. $20 that will last you forever. You can find it at Sephora, Macy's, Bloomingdales, others. 

HOWEVER.... Gel liner is now my favorite of ALL!!!! I have used a couple, and I have to say the brand doesn't matter much because when it's gel it sticks to the skin much easier and glides on so smooth and easy. I do have to say it's a bit harder to apply compared to the pencil or liquid. So, if you are not very used to applying eye liner, this is not the best choice for you. However, every girl in the world should own a gel liner and practice, practice practice. I have used MAC MAC Fluidline gel eye liner , Inglot Inglot gel liner #77 black and others. The prices depend on the company. But if you don't want to spend $15-$20 on a gel liner, if you reside in New York they have these Beauty Supply stores that have very inexpensive makeup and hair products. beauty supply store locator. Their gel eye liner can be up to $3 and guess what? It's just as good :)











I hope this was helpful to you !!! :)

All about the BRIDESMAIDS and the mother of the bride!

The most natural makeovers I've done on bridesmaids. Why? Because that's how the bride wanted it! Don't  forget, the focus must always be on the bride. This doesn't mean you must make the bridesmaids ugly. It simply means that their makeup should not out stand the bride's makeup right? The answer is yes! 

For this bridesmaid I used the Urban decay naked palette and the BH Cosmetics 88 neutral palette. These two palettes are not that different, but these two compliment each other on the mattes and the shimmers. 




here is the link to purchase this palette which is super inexpensive, and great quality! http://www.coastalscents.com/makeup/palettes/pl-002.html 




Very basic, smokey browns. Enjoy! 


How to Create the Leopard Lips!

HELLO EVERYONE!!! This is my first post, my first blog and my first picture! Don't we all love the leopard lips? The sexy lips we all want!! Well i wouldn't say this is wearable unless it was for a special makeup event to show off those skills or simply to feel great and sexy once in a while at home, am i right??

Things you will need:
1) long lasting liquid eye liner.
2) eye shadow base (your preference)
3) red lipstick (your preference)
4) shiny lipgloss (your preference)
How to create this look:
1) Apply the eye shadow base all over your lips. (This is to make sure that eye liner stays longer in place. You don't have to but it truly makes magic. I used Urban Decay eye shadow potion)
2) apply the red lipstick as u usually apply. Other great colors to use at hot pink.
3) apply the liquid aye liner in shapes like this -->> () and some just ( like that so it doesn't look too match match. Take your time, it doesn't need to be perfect or have a special patten. And feel sexy as you are doing it!
4) before applying the lipgloss make sure you give it a few mins to dry completely. Now apply your favorite, most glossiest lipgloss by patting it to your lips instead of gliding it on! this will make sure that your eye liner won't move.

ENJOY! Very simple, yet creative.
