Makeup Look

 So I created this look last week and put it up on Instagram and facebook.  I really liked it and I feel like it can be used for Summer or Fall.  So I am going to walk you through how I created this look and what products I used.  Next time I do a look I will be filming it for you tube :) YAY you guys will get a better idea on how to do it.

So first thing after my shower I moisturize my skin with Mario Badescu A.H.A & Ceramide Moisturizer I love it.  Makes my skin feel nice and doesn't leave it feeling like there is a bunch of product on my face.

Next I apply my eye primer.  Its a brand that came in my kit when I took my class at

For this look I used my Sedona Lace Palette.  The 168 pro full color second edition

I started with a light off white for all over the eye area.  I then took a bronze color in a lighter shade and put it all over the lid.  I blended out with a tan color and then took a purple (it was bright but you can't tell in the picture) to work in the outer corner.

I used maybelline gel liner

to do the winged liner on top.  I then used a dark brown liner for the bottom liner right on the water line.

I applied red cherry lashes #43 with DUO lash adhesive.  I buy my lashes and glue here.....

Then I filled in my brows with some powder (also from my kit) I don't have a name for it but I used an angle brush and powder.

I then used my CG tru blend foundation and my real techniques face expert brush and applied my foundation.

Next I used my NYX concealer and brightened the under eye area.

Set with some translucent powder and applied a neutral-peach blush on the cheeks.

I finished the look with a lipstick I recently purchases CG lipstick 415 in Siren

NYX Product Reviews

Hey guys.

Today I am writing a little review about some NYX products I have bought and tried.  I personally think NYX is a great brand with incredible prices.

NYX butter gloss

So I am sure if you follow me on instragram  or my fb page you know that I am obsessed with the NYX Butter Gloss.  I like that they have good color and shine but aren't super sticky.  I always get asked what I am wearing when I have them on.

 NYX concealer wand

I am loving this for my under eye area.  I use a different concealer for blemishes but I feel like using this after applying my foundation give my under eye a nice bright look that covers my hideous dark circles well.  

 NYX concealer stick

I keep this little guy in my purse for when I might need a little touch up.  I am so bad about touching my face all the time so sometimes when I am on the go I might need to touch up a few spots. I have used this under my eye as well and I do like this stick.  its not incredible coverage but it's good.  Especially for the price.

 NYX illuminator

 I can't say I love this product but I like it.  I have the color Narcissistic.  I like the shimmer in it and it gives you a nice golden glow.

So NYX makeup is definitely something I will keep in my own kit and in my professional kit.  I really like their products and the prices are just incredible.  Also I order online and everything arrived in perfect condition.

So I hope this helps and gives you guys another great makeup option.  Thanks for reading and don't forget to follow :)

I have links to all the products below.

Love you guys,
