LOTD: Winter Cut-Crease

Hey Crazies!

Today’s look is really unique, and very eye-opening, because I used a matte white on the entire lid. I was inspired by the blues and whites of Winter for this look. I went for a cut crease, because I haven’t done one in a while, so why not? 😀 But of course, adjust this look to your liking if you recreate it. You can definitely just do a blended crease, and maybe another color on the lid, as matte solid white is really bold.

Here we go:

LOTD: Arabic Eyes + Ombre Lips

Hey Crazies!

Today’s look is an Arabic style dramatic look with dark blue, peach, and glittery bronze on the eyes with a bright red ombre lip. I, of course, went for the uber-dramatic lips, but with the eyes, you can pair anything you’d like. A glossy nude would also look really good for the lips.

LOTD: The Academy Awards…

Hey Crazies!

Today’s look is a dramatic, smokey, trendy look that I would have worn if I had went to The Academy Awards. I used all Makeup Geek Eye shadows, and for the skin I went for matte foundation, and apricot cream blush, bronzer, and a rose-tinted highlighter all over the high points of the face. As for the lips, because the eyes are neutral (but dramatic) I went for a nude gloss.

LOTD: Wings and Orange

Hey Crazies!

Today’s look is a trendy, modernized version of an old Hollywood glam look. Instead of going for shimmery lids, I went matte, and instead of true, matte red lips, I went for a trendy glossy reddish orange color, And I kept the winged liner black, thick, and statement. I also did a very slight ombre with the brows to share the updating love. 😉 I love how this turned out, I hope you do too!

LOTD: Purple Ombre

Hey Crazies!

Today’s look is definitely a statement look. Not a lot of people would wear a dark purple and pink ombre lip, and I did do the purple really dark, so if you want to wear this look but are uncomfortable with the darkness of the lips, just use lighter shades. And maybe add a gloss too. It will make it more wearable. As for the eyes,I kept them neutral and cool toned.

So here we go:

 

 

Here’s a tip for this look: If you do want to recreate this, and you don’t have a dark purple lipstick, you don’t have to go out and buy one. One of my most important rules of makeup is to never just use eyeliner as eyeliner. Lipstick as lipstick. Get my point? So instead of spending money on a purple lipstick, use a dark purple eyeliner and some eyeshadow. Easy peasy. 😉

I hope you guys enjoyed today’s look!

Have an amazing, beautiful day!

LOTD: Modern Arabic-Style Makeup

Hey Crazies!

Today’s look is inspired by Arabic style makeup, with side-to-side winged eyeliner. To make the look more modern, I smoked out the usually very sharp eyeliner, and I also used neutral gold and light brown shades for the rest of the eye makeup to keep the look wearable.

And because the eyes are neutral, you can go for any lip color from nude to red. I went with a glossy nude lip, and natural skin.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I again, did this look a while ago, so I don’t really remember what I used…But all you need to get this look is a matte brown eye shadow, gold eye shadow, and black eye shadow.

I hope you enjoyed this look, I really like how it turned out. 🙂

Have and amazing, beautiful day!

Xoxo Ava 😀 ❤

LOTD: Blue Waterline

Hey Crazies!

Today’s look is a neutral one with a pop of blue in my waterline, one of my favorite things to do! And if you didn’t know, pops of color in a neutral look is a big trend for 2015. 🙂

So here it is:

 

I did this look a while ago, so I don’t exactly remember what I used product wise. oops hehe 😛

Hope you enjoyed today’s look!

Have an amazing, beautiful day! ❤

LOTD: If I Went To The Grammy’s…

Hey!!! I finally have a computer set up, and I’m ready to start blogging again.

So,I watched the Grammy’s a couple nights ago, and I loved a lot of the makeup, hair and fashion I saw.

My favorite makeup and hair goes to Katy Perry:

I thought she looked super flawless, her makeup was on point, and I LOVED her hair color and style!

As for the dress, Rihanna was my favorite. I know a lot of people didnt like her dress, but i thought it was new, fun and girly.

❤

Anyway, if I had gone to the Grammy’s, I would have worn this makeup look I created today:

 

(to see what products I used, keep scrolling).

I love this look, because its not too over the top, but it still has a modern twist with the foiled pigment on the lid. I was inspired by Jaclyn Hill’s makeup style. If you haven’t heard of Jaclyn, go look her up on YouTube, her makeup tutorials are amazing!

And because I had to share the love, I went for a red and soft orange ombre lip:

 

And for the face, I did matte foundation and concealer, bronzer, two kinds of blush, and a shimmer highlighter.
