Every day Brown look with Too Faced Everything Nice palette

   To begin this look you want to start off by priming your eye lids...I used my go-to Too Faced Shadow Insurance.

   Then I used a flat shader brush and applied Turtle Dove to my entire lid as a base color.

   I then went in with a small crease brush and applied Fawned of you to my entire crease.

   I then took the color Secret Lovers and applied that on my crease as well, but here I focused on the outer 2/3 of the crease. This helps transition the darker color that I will apply later, making the shift in colors seamless.

   I then used a bigger fluffier crease brush and blended the colors together.

   I used that same fluffier brush and applied the color Chocolate Moon to the outer corner of the crease and blended it out.

   I then took a flat shader brush again and applied the color Don't Settle to my lid, which is a shimmery goldish taupe.

                                           *Sorry! Forgot to take the pic of me actually applying it.*

  Then I did my foundation. I used MUFE HD #110 and my expert face brush to blend it out.

   For my eye brows, I used my Benefit Speed Brow in the color neutral.

   I then went in with the color Paper Roses and a small crease brush and applied that to my brow bone as a highlight.

   I then used my Neutrogena Healthy under eye corrector and blended it out with my ring finger.

      I then used my Kat Von D liquid liner in Trooper without winging it out.

 

   I then used a small eye liner brush and applied the color Secret Lovers to my lower lash line, as close to the lashes as possible.

 

 

   Then I curled my lashes and applied mascara (Kat Von D Immortal Lash).

 

 

 

   I then used Chocolate Soleil and the brush that was included in the palette and contoured my cheeks and applied some bronzer to my temples, blending it out.

 

 

 

   I then applied both blushes, Sweet Pink and Papa Don't Peach.

 

 

 

   I also applied the highlight, Inner light on my cheek bones.

 

 

 

   I used my MAC Viva Glam IV.

 

 

 

   I finished up my look by setting my makeup with Make Up For Ever Mist & Fix. I usually do 2-3 sprays.

 

 

Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoyed the look!

Makeup with Glasses: Breaking the Rules

 

 

So, I really enjoy having makeup rules that can be followed, but what I love even more, is breaking those rules! Everyone says you have to do this and this and this to achieve the best looks for pale skin, for wearing glasses, if you have lots of dark circles, etc. While it is true that these tricks help with these situations, I find that playing around with your makeup you can find ways to bypass these rules and create looks that are flattering for you. No one knows you better than yourself, so if you find that you can break these rules and make it work for you, go for it! This look is for those that like darker eye looks and that wear glasses. Hope you enjoy it!

 

Firstly, you want to start by prepping your eye lids. I used Too Faced Shadow Insurance. If you do not have something like this, you can easily use a little tiny bit of your foundation.

 

 

I then used a flat shader brush and applied White chocolate all over the lid.

 

Using the same brush, I picked up some Black Forest Truffle and applied that all over my lid and up to the crease.

 

I then used a small eye liner brush (this one kind of looks like a shorter shader brush) and I stamped (push the color in as close to the lash line as possible) some Triple Fudge on the upper lash line.

 

Then I did my face using my MUFE HD 110 and my Expert Face Brush from Real Techniques.

 

I did my eye brows using my Benefit Speed Brow in Neutral.

 

I picked up the color Champagne Truffle with a crease brush and applied it on the brow bone and in the inner corner of the eye.

 

I applied my Neutrogena eye brightener in a triangle shape and blended it out using my ring finger. This helps cover up dark circles but it also helps fight the darkness cast on by the glasses.

 

I then used the eyeliner brush and stamped Black Forest Truffle into the lower lash line. If you wear glasses or have dark circles, it is important to get this color as close to the lash line as possible in order to prevent making the dark shadows darker.

 

Curl your lashes and apply your mascara. I used Kat Von D Immortal lash and I applied two coats. I also skipped the lower lash line.

 

I then used my Too Faced Chocolate Soleil bronzer and contoured my cheeks and used some on my temples.

 

I used the color Sweet Pink from my Everything Nice palette and a blush brush and applied my blush. If you wear glasses, try applying the blush to the back of your cheeks to maintain a nice balance with your frames. (This is a tip I learned from Amber F. from youtube~ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCek9Y_cUU5G0D1wAO6lsOxQ).

 

I then applied a highlight, Inner Light from the Too Faced Everything Nice palette.

 

Finally, set your makeup. I used MUFE Mist & Fix.
