Some of my favorite products for this month!





























Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder: This product is AMAZING, and I obviously love it since I have hit pan. I have combo skin and this doesn't cling to my dry patches and keeps my makeup looking nice all day!

Maybelline Blush in Berry Sorbet: This adds the perfect flush of color for my skin tone when I'm going for a more natural look or if I have a really dark eye and need to tone down the rest of my look. It's just becoming one of my favorite blushes, it's perfect.

MAC Eyeshadow in Embark: It just compliments my eye color so well, I just use this on my outer corner and smudge it on my lower lashline, and oh! It's just.... I love it.

Maybelline The Falsies Mascara: It makes my lashes look really full and it doesn't clump. Who doesn't love that?

Lancome Color Design Palette: It's a perfect fall time color palette in my opinion, all of it blended together is so gorgeous.

Wet n' Wild Matte Lipstick in Cherry Picking: Perfect blue-toned red.

Wet n' Wild Matte Lipstick in Don't Blink Pink: I love a pop of color on my lips so this hot pink was perfect for the end of Summer!

CoverGirl Lipstick Perfection Lipstick in Entwined: This is a pretty purple, but I love it stained out because it makes a really pretty berry stain.

Everyday Simple Makeup

This is a really pretty, easy look that'll look great on anyone!

 
For the eyes I kept it really simple with just a few light colors black liner and mascara. I used a shimmery peachy-beige as my brow bone highlight and inner corner highlight, a beige-taupe on the lid, and a bronzy color on the outer corner blended into the crease. I took a black liquid liner to my top lashline only and smudged a black eyeshadow on my lower lashline, and of course finished off with some mascara.


 
For the rest of the face I decided to keep with the natural look (which in my opinion is almost always best.) with a little brozer a berry blush and little highlighter on the tops on my cheekbones and above my brow. For my lips I blended out a purple-y lipstick into a more wearable berry color.

Products:
Skimp By Urban Decay on the brow bone highlight
Missionary By Urban Decay on the lid
Woodwinked By MAC on the outer corner/crease
24/7Waterproof  Liquid Eyeliner in Perversion By Urban Decay
Statuesque By Lancome on the lower lashline
Supercurl Curling Mascara By Urban Decay
Seductive Sunset Glam Bronze Bronzer By L'oreal
Berry Shimmer Color Icon Blush By Wet N' Wild
Gotta Glow Blush By ELF
Entwined Lip Perfection Lipstick By CoverGirl

Fall Makeup.

Since I'm studying to become a makeup artist I've decided about looks I've done that I like. Tonight I was bored, so I naturally wanted to practice (play) with my makeup, and with Fall approaching I wanted to do a look that went with the season. I chose copper, not only because it's one of my favorite colors for Fall, but because in my opinion it look good with every eye color. Yes it is quite a warm color, so if you have cool undertones this may not be your look.











































 It was actually really easy to do, I put a copper color all over my lid, crease, and lower lash line with a nude color as my highlight, and a matte dark purple brown on the outer corner. I rimmed both my water line and my tight line with black eyeliner and lots of mascara!

































For my face I used a bronzer to contour with a light berry blush, and a highlighter.
For my lips I used a purple-ish lipstick stained into my lips to make this really pretty berry stain.



I will definitely be wearing this look this fall!

Products I used:
Copper and Nude from an Estee Lauder palette so I don't know the names.
Mac "Embark" on the outer corner.
Maybelline Master Drama Eyeliner in "Midnight Master".
Maybeliine "Falsies" Mascara.
L'oreal Glam Bronzer "Seductive Sunset".
Maybelinne Blush "Berry Sorbet".
CoverGirl Lipstick "Entwined".


Sorry for the terrible camera quality, work with what you've got I guess! Til next time, Bye!
