Todays look: Neutral eyes, flushed lips

For today's makeup look i decided to go with gold tones for the eyes and just a flush of color for the lips. I wore leopard print shoes and headband and added a pop of color with a vintage royal blue blazer, so i didnt want my makeup to over power, but compliment. I used mac foundation, ben nye translusent powders in banana and sienna to set. For the eyes i used bella terra mineral cosmetics. The gold is called goldfish, midtone is called Earth and the black is called Midnight. Then i lined with liquid eyeliner... For the lips i rubbed a little of the mineral eyeshadow in lollipop on the inside of my lip for tht "i just had an ice pop" type of look lol :) (for those of you who dont know you can use bella terra cosmetics at least 8 different ways) hope u like!! Any questions please dont hesistate to leave them in the comment section! Thank you so much! Stay inspired!

Pink and brown eyeshadow

Here is the makeup look i wore the other day. I really liked how it turned out. I used Bellaterra cosmetics for the eyes ( in flushed, earth, coca bean) and studio tech foundation from Mac (NW50). If you have never heard of Bella Terra Cosmetics, you can use the same eye shimmer for your eyes, cheeks, lips, nails, hair..and  many other ways your creativity can imagine. I use the pinkish color called flushed as a creme shadow, just by applying it wet with my brush.  I also used the same shadow as my lip color my mixing it with lip gloss. Pretty cool huh? It is tons of fun using this stuff. lol

What do you think? 

Mommy Makeover

This new mom came to see me wanting a dramatic makeover. "I want to look like a rainbow!", she says. Well, this was end result! This is why I love makeup, because there are no rules! What you consider a beautiful night time look, maybe someone else's stunning day time look...Its all freedom of expression!

Why treat yourself to a makeover? Because your WORTH IT!

 This, ladies and gentlemen, is why I do what I do.

A great makeover can really cause a person to change the way they feel on the inside, and in turn, manifest that confidence on the outside. When you feel beautiful, it effects the way you speak, the way you carry yourself, the look in your eyes--EVERYTHING! No words can really explain the mystery effect that takes place after a great makeover, but one thing is for sure, the results are evident!

Every women deserves the right to feel confident and beautiful! And an awesome makeover is a great catalyst for that. So my message to you ladies/superwomen?:
Don't hesistate to treat yourself from time to time! The reward is priceless!


I know I feel privileged everytime I get to be a part of that process.

Trying on Red Lipstick

Ok, so the Holidays are here and a popular color is red,  so I wanted to try it on my lips b/c I never do lol. I believe trying something new AT LEAST once every month or so keeps you young and spontaneous. Even if you switch your mascara, or you brand of household cleaner...change is good, and always essential to growth!
Anyhow, I went to the MAC store just to try a red and the artist gave me the lip liner in brick, the Viva Glam 1 lipstick and, the Tinted lip glass in Russian red. That is the first pic. Very bright, vibrant and playful!
 The second pic I used wet and wild matte lipstick #910 and I put the MAC tinted gloss on top. A more toned down version of the latter lol. The next day I ended up just wearing the tinted lip gloss (pic coming soon), just to see how I liked that. But now I am back to my pink tones..sometimes i switch it up to a bronzey tone lol But all in all, I think I like the liner and gloss combo of this escapade :)

How to wear RED eyeliner

Wanted to try something different. I saw Queen of Blending use red eyeliner, so I wanted to see if I can make it wearable...Subtle, yet visible statement. What do you think?
