Miss Makeup

So I decided while on my beach trip with boy and his family that it would be the PERFECT time to try out my makeup pins. The board I am pulling from is: http://pinterest.com/marlipaige/makeup/

My first attempt was just titled "Summer Makeup" http://pinterest.com/pin/141089400797084977/
I called my version the "Island Eye"

It is a yellow lid, red crease, and green under eye shadow.

I paired it with wet beach waves, turquoise necklace, and a tropical dress for an "islandy" look. I was on vacation. It seemed appropriate.

All in all it took me about 15 minutes to do. It wasn't TOO hard, but it also didn't come out just like the picture. However, for a first try I thought it went well and looked cute.



Next: I tried "The Adele Eye"

This one I probably took 45 minutes trying to make it look like the picture with no real luck. My eyes ended up being too dark, and I couldn't seem to get the creases even on both sides. I also should've put a light shadow overtop when I was done but didn't.


Total myspace picture, but you get the point. I paired it with a half-braid hair wrap and a cute flirty beachy dress. My hair was done in a single one of these: http://pinterest.com/pin/141089400796189897/

No, mine did not look that good. that's why there are not pictures. It was basically swept to one side by a braid across my head. That took another 20 minutes, and I wasn't dissatisfied, but I wasn't overly satisfied with it either.


For Dragon*Con I decided to try out "Cat-Eye or Mod" makeup. http://pinterest.com/pin/141089400797302806/




THIS ladies and gentlemen is why you DON'T BUY EYELINER FROM THE DOLLAR TREE. It was gloppy. I couldn't get it to go on straight. It looked terrible. And so I covered it up with a mask.

PROBLEM SOLVED
