Bold Makeup Look Inspired From Pinterest

It's been so fun for me recently doing live makeup on Facebook. Friday night my sister and I did a makeover together while chit chatting about things. She went with a cute eyeshadow look I picked out for her and I chose a look for myself and we went with it. I find it really exciting to go look for eyeshadow inspirations from Pinterest lately. I mean they have some many talented women in makeup from natural makeup looks to bold and bright!. I'm starting to like those bright colors I normally do not wear. Being 43 I was kinda skeptic in wearing those bold colors, but the after look showed me different. It made me look younger I must say, which makes me want to do more pretty looks.

So I chose a easy look that I tried to come close to matching. Even though my shadow palette was a much bolder palette. I followed the picture tutorial as shown and finished my look with some Purple lipgloss lipstick.

Summery Glow Using 5 Products

Last week I accepted a collaboration from someone on Facebook in a beauty group. She wanted to do a collab for Instagram and I jumped at the idea. The idea was to shop our own stash for 5 products and for my look for a summery glow. The makeup I chose for my look was the Urban Decay eyeshadow palette, Hard Candy highlighter, Covergirl Big Eyes mascara ,Covergirl Ready Set foundation and pressed powder by L'Oreal.





 I loved how my look turned out especially using the eyeshadow. Urban Decay have some very shimmery palettes and I won this palette from Glam-Express, a beauty community where women share their created looks. I decided to go with a Golden and Purple eye look and it turned out so pretty. Of course I used a few more products to finish off my look like eyeliner and lipgloss.

Covergirl Bombhell Mascara I caught on a closeout sale for $3.79 at my local Krogers grocery store. I did some research on this mascara and found out it's like $9 regular price, so I got a great deal last week.

Using Virtual Makeover Platforms For Real Looks

I just love doing Virtual Makeovers on myself and on family and friends. Virtual makeovers can really become a reality, after all it's your real face. I use two different programs to get "What can be realistically looking" to photos'. First, I take a photo of my full face and try to make sure my hair is away from my face. I also make sure that I have a clear enough photo to get the best results when making myself over.

 Down below in my before picture I used my cellphone, It's recommended to use a higher quality camera that way you will not have too much shadow around your photo. A high quality photo makes the virtual makeover look more natural, but for now I'm using my cellphone photo as an example.

 The next step is I make sure to get the corners of my eyes and lips so that the makeup applies correctly. Next I apply my closest foundation and concealer, then the good part comes when you add the eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara and blush. I then go into hair styles, which I picked for my second photo, I picked a long hair style because it goes great with my face shape, which is oval.

 I fooled around with different hair colors until I found the perfect shade that agrees with my face and makeup. The finished look is beautiful to me and is very happy with my virtual makeover.

So using a virtual platform such as TAAZ is great to achieve looks you really want to try out

My Hawaiian Tropical Eyeshdaow Look

Good morning everyone who's reading my post  as I've said in a previous post that I was invited to my aunts luau, so here are some photos of me with an eyeshadow look I want to wear at the party.

As you see in the photos I've added colors such as lime green in the corners of my eyes using my Ba*Star eyeshadow palette, white and pink. These are colors for a Hawaiian scene, my digital camera is low on battery life so I used my cell phone which the quality in this first image isn't so great.

I tried getting a close up and unburring the photo a bit where the main colors are

The shades are so cute and lively like a tropical, punch drink and enhance this look more I've added Black liquid eyeliner for winged look in the corner of my eyes and mascara.

I should have done a bit more blending, but It still looks good, this look would look better in Black hair or red instead of my Brown wig I'm wearing. Maybe wearing my hair in braids would make this look even better lol! And as a lipstick I used Pink eyeshadow with chapstick to match the eyes.

 So there you go a nice Tropical, eyeshadow, inspiration look for the Hawaiian party scene.

Wearing Ba*Star In Tropical- Colors Lime Green and Pink
