birthday dinner

Sorry (once again) that posts are lacking... I've been so busy! Not only with school, but also Christian was here on leave for the last few days (he came Sept. 2), but he left on Sunday. It's so lonely without him... Anyways, my birthday isn't until the 16th but he couldn't stay that long, so he took me out Saturday. He took me to a restaurant called Farallon in San Fransisco.. it was so beautiful!


Of course, I had to get all dolled up! Here are photos of 'the works'.

My face that night:

I was trying to go all out pin-up, so I just had to do a half moon mani.
2 coats Zoya Purity, 2 coats China Glaze Ravishing Dahling.

And of course, the obligatory couple shots!


The dress and shoes were gifts from him :')

Thanks so much for looking! I have got more photos coming up- ones from the camping trip we took together! I'll get them up as soon as I can :)

tutorial: red-popping neutrals

I used-
NYX Milk
Soft Brown
Vanilla pigment
Satin Taupe
Espresso
Dazzlelight
Coppering
Solar White
W&W creme liner
L'oreal mascara
some falsies

1. I start off by doing my eyebrows and base.

2. Of course... Soft Brown in the crease with a 217.

3. Vanilla pigment on the lid.

4. I pack Satin Taupe on the outer lid.

5. Dazzlelight on the browbone. So this look isn't so frosty, I take Espresso e/s and my 217 and apply it lightly over Satin Taupe.

6. Coppering on the lower lash line.

7. To tone down the intensity of Coppering I apply Soft Brown on the inner lash line and Satin Taupe on the outer lash line over Coppering. I also applied Solar White in the inner corners.

8. Liner...

(I do my face in between these steps.)

9. Mascara...

Add some falsies, and we're done!


Thanks for looking!

tutorial: clown makeup

You asked, and you shall receive! :) Coming up, I have a tutorial for my "red-popping neutrals" and stash pics (makeup and nail polish).

used:
NYX Milk
Sweet & Punchy
Soft Brown
Firecracker
Vanilla pigment
Solar White
W&W cream liner
L'oreal mascara

1. My eyebrows and base are already applied. I apply Soft Brown in the crease (as usual!) with a 217.

2. I pack Sweet & Punchy on the lid with a 239.

3. I applied Firecracker on the outer lid with a (clean) 239. At this stage, it really looks like clown makeup!

4. Blend it out. I use a Stila #9 brush (similar to a MAC 226) for blending bright and/or highly pigmented colors.

5. Vanilla pigment on the brow bone.. with all the blending going on, S&P's vibrantness kind of gets lost, so I pack on another layer.

6. On the lower lashline, I apply Soft Brown, S&P, Then Firecracker.

7. Solar White in inner corners.

8. Liner and mascara, and I'm done!
