The Summer Look I'm Rockin

Super Easy to do and you can do any other color on the lower lash line. I've done Blue, Purple, Green. I like purple for brown eyes. The bronze liquid liner really sparkles in the sun. A fun summery look that's perfect for the beach or even a hot summer night.

Products used:

1. Urban Decay Primer Potion 'Sin'
2. Lorac Eyeshadow 'Bronze'
3. Urban Decay Eyeshadow 'Half Baked'
4. Korres Eyeshadow '24s Gold'
5. Urban Decay Eyeshadow 'Flash'
6. Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner 'Zero'
7. Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner 'Lust'
8. Too Faced Liquid Eyeliner 'Metal Eyed Brown Sugar'
9. Makeup Forever Mascara 'Aqua Smokey Eye'

Tools Used:

1. Tarte Brush with Greatness double ended brush http://tartecosmetics.com/tarte-item-brush-with-greatness
2. Laura Mercier Eye Colour Brush http://www.lauramercier.com/store/shop/Brushes-for-Eyes-_Eye-Colour-Brush_prod220090
3. Tarina Tarantino Crease Brush http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P254913&categoryId=C22000
4. Sephora Platinum Smudge Brush #11 http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P102922&categoryId=C17412&shouldPaginate=true

How to:

1. Apply U.D. Primer Potion all over eyelid up to brows. 'Sin' has a slight shimmer to it. This will help your eyeshadow color shimmer even more.
2. Apply Lorac Bronze eyeshadow with the flat end of the Tarte brush, all over eye lid.
3. Apply Lorac Bronze eyeshadow with rounded edge into the crease.
4. Lightly blend color in crease with T.T. crease brush to soften color.
5. Apply Korres Gold eyeshadow with crease brush under brows for a soft highlight.
6. If needed, go back and apply more Bronze into crease and blend with crease brush to get rid of any harsh edges. (Sometimes steps 3,4,5 need to be repeated for desired outcome of "look")
7. Apply U.D. Half Baked to inner 1/3 corner of eye w/Laura Mercier brush. This gives the shadow some dimension on the lid and brightens it up.
8. Line upper lash line with U.D. 24/7 Zero
9. Using Too Faced liquid liner Brown Sugar, line on top of Zero. This technique makes the liquid liner more opaque. It also helps if you aren't very good at using a liquid, you can use the pencil line as a guide.
10. Apply U.D. 24/7 eyeliner Lust on lower lash line, smudge with smudge brush.
11. Using Sephora Smudge brush, apply U.D. eyeshadow Flash on lower lash line, setting the pencil for more longer wear.
12. Finish with Makeup Forever Aqua Smokey Eye for waterproof protection on top and bottom lashes.

How to:

2. Apply Lap Dance all over eye lid w/tapered end of Tarte brush and flip brush over and apply Lap Dance into crease w/rounded edge. Go as high as you want to go.
3. Use T.T. crease brush and blend Lap Dance only to get rid of any harsh edges and soften the color.
4. Apply Stiletto w/T.T. smudge brush to outer 1/3 corner of eye. Blend color up and into crease and darken as much as you want. You could go darker than what I did.
5. Take T.T. crease brush to blend Stiletto color to soften it up. If necessary, re-apply Stiletto to areas you want.
6. Apply Pink Cheeks lightly w/Sephora Plat. Brush #14 under brows. Blend color well.
7. Apply Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner to waterline of lower lashes and smudge out with Sephora Plat. Brush #11. Let set.
8. Apply Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner to upper lash line.
9. Using Sephora Plat. Brush #11 apply Lap Dance over Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner on lower lashes corner to corner. This will intensify the color.
10. Apply Stilleto to outer 1/2 of lower lash w/Sephora Plat. Brush #11 on top of Lap Dance. Stop so Lap Dance color is only about 1/3 of the inner corner of lower lash line.
11. Finish with Too Face Lashlight mascara on top and bottom lashes.
    

Too Faced Naked Eye Palette

I just bought the Naked palette to go along with my other two. The Smokey Eye Palette was the first one to come out, then Natural Eye. I got the first two from work and I had to purchase the third. I really like Too Faced products alot, especially the liquid eyeliners but I'll get into that later. I will do looks from all three palettes.

Welcome

Thanks for stopping by. I am pretty new to this Blogging thing. Hopefully as time goes by, I'll pick up on it and make this the best blog ever. But now, this is my newborn. Haven't even thought about the crawling stage yet.

My name is Dawn. I have been in the Beauty Industry since 2000, but started when I was a wee little girl. I have always wanted to have some kind of creative outlet to showcase my makeup artistry. I just finally came around to actually doing it. I can do hair as well but my passion is makeup. I like to focus on more smokey dark art, rather than the neutral natural looks. I want this blog to be more edgy and rock and roll. So if you're into that, stay tuned.

I'm not really into the whole typing posts. I'm just going to be posting some pics of things that inspire me and doing makeup tutorials of them. As well as, new product lines of some of my favorite brands, and some brands that I stumble across on the internet.

I'm just excited to start now because Fall is coming and Fall is my favorite time of year. Not to mention, Halloween is my favorite holiday. There is much to do so I better get started. Long story short here's how my blog will go....Pictures, tutorials, new product lines and ROCK -N- ROLL! (and the occasional shoe or two)
