Midnight

I got bored the other night and I wanted to do a dark look, something I really haven't tackled before. So here it is!

Eyes:
Too Faced Eye Shadow Insurance
Stila smudge pot in Black (apply all over lid to crease)
NARS e/s in Night Breed (apply over the smudge pot and blend out into crease and on lower lashline)
MAC e/s in Vellum (apply on top of the crease, blend outward and on the inner corner and lower lashline. Since this is a duochrome is will have a slight purple effect)
MAC e/s in Dazzlelight as a highlight
Revlon pencil eyeliner in black on lower and upper waterline
Maybelline Lash Stiletto mascara in Black

Lips:
Chanel lipstick in Obscure
YSL lipgloss in Black, I'm not sure it's actual name, but it was limited edition anyways :(











Lady Gaga Disco Heaven Look

So my sorority is having an 80s roller skating party coming up and I wanted to do a glam rock 80s look. This seemed perfect! All you need is some tape, hot pink and black eyeshadows and there you go. Enjoy!

1920s inspired look

I have been wanting to do this look for awhile. Finally I had the time to sit down and experiment with this 1920s look. I took pictures in both color and black and white because the make up is so dark and intense that it looks better in black and white. Also, people in the 1920s apparently didn't smile, so with that going trend, I didn't either.

For Face:
Porcelain colored powder

Eyes:
Black pencil eyeliner all around the eyes and drawn into the crease. Smudge it out. Also define the eyebrows with dark brown gel. They had really thin, drawn on eyebrows during the 20s, I just defined mine more. Then for shadow I used a dark plum color to smoke out everything. I did use a light champagne color for the highlight and finished off with some black mascara.

Lips:
Red lip liner pencil and dark plum lipstick. The cupid's bow was very popular then, so that is what I tried to go for.

I hope you all enjoy the look!
