MAUVE AND COOL TAUPE HALO EYE

I seriously never do this, but for this look I could NOT figure out what colors to coordinate for this look *clearly I'm broken* so I was LITERALLY pulling out palettes, and swatching colors on my arms until I found what I thought looked good together. I usually have a clear picture in my mind of what I want and don't have a hard time mentally coordinating colors. I ended up going with the Jaclyn Hill x Morphe Palette.

I actually really love this! I don't like doing a straight up cool toned eye look often, cool tones aren't very wearable, so I balanced a bit of warmth with the taupe in the center. Especially with my blue/pink toned skin cool colors can make you look a bit like I was exsanguinated. That's life being an NW10 *the palest shade available in MAC Cosmetics Foundation*.

SMOKEY LAVENDER EYELOOK FOR FAIR SKIN

SMOKEY LAVENDER EYELOOK With such extremely fair skin, I have a hard time pulling off these colors without looking washed out. Muted antique tones look amazing on warm or dark skintone but with cool toned pink skin it's difficult to pull off. I balanced out the color with deep browns and black to make it more SMOKEY. If I had used cool tones in the crease and outer corner it would have looked like a giant bruise on my eye. The wing got away from me, I don't know what happened.

WHY GETTING MY SEPTUM PIERCING WAS THE BEST THING I EVER DID FOR MY SELF ESTEEM

GETTING A SEPTUM PIERCING If I can do this, I can do anything 3 days ago (Friday) I was struck with the sudden urge to do 3 things; get my hair cut, get a tattoo, and get a septum piercing. The hair cut came Sunday, since after spending months growing out my pixie cut I was FINALLY at the length I wanted. After having it at chin length for only a week I remembered very quickly why I kept it at the length I did for so many years and chopped it back off again. I tell myself I'll grow it out eventually but this being the 3rd time I've tried and failed to grow it out in the last 6 years I'm not going to hold my breath. Secondly, the tattoo. Something I've wanted for years, something I've always found attractive on others, but for several reasons (both personal and professional) I never ended up going through with. This was not something that I wanted to rush into, so I squashed down the urge for now and am researching artists, pricing, and design so that th

GOLD GLITTER GLAM

GOLD GLITTER GLAM Alliteration is apparently my strong suit. For this look I wanted to use neutral tones but give it some kind of POP to make it glamorous and bold. So I went with some loose glitter from NYX to really make the lid stand out. This is the first look I've photographed with my NEW SOFTBOXES! *Thunderous applause* I cannot tell you how excited I was to get new lighting, and it's amazing. It illuminates everything so clearly and makes my pictures come out so clear! All my photos are going to be jumping up in quality and I'm so thrilled about it!
