Summer Dreamcicle

Happy Summer everyone!! Mine officially started today, and so I celebrated by breaking out my favorite eyeshadow color, ORANGE!!  To make this look even more summery I used colors from the 88 Ultra Shimmer palette. I, also, finished up my overall look using many of Sedona Lace's amazing products! I hope you find this fun and useful and let the summer fun begin!!!!

 

I first primed my eyes using a tinted primer and then taking my EB 09, I ran a very bright tangerine color all through the crease and down under the lower lash line.  I didn't worry about blending yet, I will tackle that once all the bright colors are placed.

With the #941 I used a golden, yellow and placed that on the lid and inner half of the lower lash line.

I wanted definition, so I added a black to the outer "V" of the eye with the EB 21.  I didn't want this to be super dark, so after I placed the color, I blended the first tangerine color over top with the EB 09 to diffuse the black but keep the definition.

 

For my highlight, I wanted a matte color, because the rest of the eye is so shimmery and fantastic.  I used a skin tone color from the 88 matte palette.  This palette has a huge array of skin tone colors. You can also find a large selection of skin tone shades in the 88 warm palette, as well. 

 

Lastly, for the eyes, I added two coats of blue mascara, because IT'S SUMMER!!  

 

For the rest of the face, I used the EB 13 and a very light concealer to conceal under my eyes.

I worked my foundation in using the #480 Synthetic round top powder brush.  You could pick and choose with your eyes closed any of the Midnight Lace face brushes and you'd still get amazing foundation results.. they are amazing.I worked powder over the top with a dual fiber #813 and with that same brush, I used the color Sunstone from the Bridgette palette as my face highlight.  If you like a blingy, in your face highlight like I do, I highly recommend trying this shadow as your highlighter. 

The last steps were a bright orange cheek on a FB 05 and a very pale coral lip gloss and I was done and ready to enjoy the weather outside.

Have a safe summer, and when you're taking a break from outside check us out for more tutorial and reviews!

Flower inspired using the Bridgette Palette

Hey everyone! I hope you are all having a great Thursday, and hopefully a wonderful holiday weekend!! For today's look I used the amazing Bridgette palette from the Babe collection and was inspired by all the flowers that have started to bloom in my yard.  I hope you enjoy.

The first thing I did was primed my eye with a shimmery, white cream eyeshadow using the EB 11 brush.

With the #941 brush and the color Sandy Quartz, I densely packed the color into the inner corner of the eye.  This is to represent the center of the flower.

With the same brush, I then placed the color Sunstone into the center of the lid, blending in Sandy Quartz.

Using the EB 09, I ran the color Copper through the entire crease, making sure the top edges were very blended.

With the EB 15 and the color Amethyst to brighten the crease and add a pop of color, like the variation of colors on a petal.

For my final step, I took a green eyeliner pencil to represent the leaves of the flower and I lined the top line and added a very slight wing to the end.

Two coats of mascara completed the eye look.

Have a wonderful holiday weekend.  Be safe and enjoy your friends, family, and time off of work!!

Alien Takeover

Hello lovelies!! Today's look uses two palettes from the Babe collection, Bridgette and Suzanne. To take this look to the next level, I added Alien gel eyeliner as well.  So, grab your brushes and let's get started.

First I took a purple cream shadow and placed it all over the lid with my finger.

With the Bridgette palette, I placed Sandy Quartz below the browbone and into the inner corner using the #941 brush.

I, also, took Amethyst and placed it all over the lid  using the same #941.

For my crease, I used Brown Sugar from the Suzanne palette.  I applied the color and then blended well with the EB09.

With the #772 I took Alien gel eyeliner and lined the upper lid and the waterline.

Two coats of mascara finishes this shimmery, fun look.

Date Night

Today's look is using the Bridgette palette and the 28 Neutral palette to create the perfect date night look.

To start with I used get liner as a base, in the color "Get Naked", there is a joke there, but I'll spare you.  I put a very light layer from the lashline to the browbone.

I used a midtone brown shade from the 28 Neutral palette and placed it through the crease.

To deepen the crease more, I took a darker matte shade a placed it through the crease as well, but I didn't blend as well so that you see both colors.

To make it even more dramatic, I then put black in the outer "V".  I also brought a small amount of black along the lashline as well.

I went into the Bridgette palette and used the color "Sandy Quartz" and filled in the entire lid and pulled a small amount under the lid.

For the liner, I used an Eggplant color and lined the entire length of the lid and put a small wing.  I then took the wing and pulled it into the crease to make a deeper "V".

I added mascara and put on pink blush and even pinker lipgloss.
