EOTD 12/11 Fight Night

So sometimes we get invited over to our friends house to watch the UFC fights :). Here was my look last saturday.

I really liked how I did my eyeliner, it doesn't always come out that straight! :D

2.0 Double Kill!

Haha, I guess I've been playing too much Battlefield; Bad Company 2 :) Well I have two looks today to attempt to present to you with enough detail that you guys may copy, expand upon, just look at the pretty colors, whatevs!

 

On the left side of the photo we have a dark silver (only silvers I have unfortunately, this would pop! a lot more if it was brighter) black and purple. On the right we have a white, light pink and then super hot dark pink.

Read on for the tutorial!

Giveaways

So, I've only started following blogs and such in the last 6 months, it started with just bookmarking blogs I liked to read, and then I started 'following' using google connect for giveaways that many bloggers were hosting. Now I have almost a dozen or more blogs that I love to read, and it just keeps on growing! Here are a few of the giveaways that are going on right now, feel free to join me in a quest for free stuff! :D haha.

EOTD: Dec 6th

It is currently a very cold and un-Florida like morning. I had to wear two jackets this morning! Sitting in the library actually feels slightly warm because it is so cold outside, haha. So I uploaded some photos of my look this morning so I could write another blog up while I was at school! Pretty nifty :) So today I wore my 'Hard Rock Cafe- Madrid' shirt, baggy purple jacket and jeans, so I did a very smoky brown look to go with the gold and black print on my shirt.

1.0 my first tutorial

Welcome all! So here is my first eyeshadow tutorial! First I want to give you a little glance into the tools I use and my make-up stash.

Here are the brushes I use.

I have four brushes that I regularly use. The first is my 'white' brush. I only ever use this tiny little brush to put on my white highlight shadow, I really like how the small square brush head smooths out the pigments and can really spread it as thin or thick as I want. The second brush is my most used brush, this brush is a medium sized brush with a fanned end. I use it for applying the pigments over my entire eye, including lining along the bottom portion of my eye if I'm doing that for a look. The third huge brush there is my blending brush, I use it for pulling out the shadow, usually right above the crease.  The fourth brush there I only use for my eyebrows, I haven't found many other uses for it yet.

 This is my eyeliner brush, a small angled brush that is used only for doing my eyeliner. Lately I've only been using this Jane eye zing black pigment for eyeliner. I just wet the brush, get a little bit a pigment on the brush and go.

 Now here is my little make-up stash. At the top we have the TKB shadows that I created myself using their EZ eyeshadow kit, there is currently about 50 eye shadows there and I still have a lot of material left from the kit to continue making more. On the second shelf is my stash of 'Glittersniffer' eye shadows. I like what I have, but have mixed feelings about the company that I don't want to get into detail about at this time.Well, that wraps up my tools and make-up stash portion, now onto the tutorial! I'm going to be explaining it as simply and basically as I can, so if it's something you already know, sorry!
