Brown Fall Face
For today's tutorial I wanted to do a look I have been seeing a lot in the fall fashion issues, a brown face. Now when I say brown I literally mean a brown face but I promise it comes out totally awesome and pretty. I love just having that brown pretty face and just wearing it with a high bun. Totally fashionable and effortless which are my two favorite adjectives.
Products used:
Face-
*Almay pureblends liquid base
*N.Y.C Powdercompact in Warm Beige
*Benefit erase paste in No. 2
*E.l.f matte bronzer in cheeks
Eyes-
*L.A Colors Traditional Palette
*Ulta eyeshadow base
*Covergirl LashBlast Mascara in waterproof
*Lips-
*Ulta Iced Cappuccino
*dupe^WetnWild 547B
or if you don't want have a lipstick in the nude range
*E.l.f concealer in apricot beige
*Gilly Hicks in Bisque
Steps:
1)Do your normal face routine to cover any blemishes or discoloration. I used foundation, put concealer on my blemishes, and then set it all with a powder.
2)On your cheeks, use a matte bronzer as a blush. If you don't have a bronzer available with you just use a powder that is one to two skin tones darker then your current skin color.
3)Prime eyes with an eyeshadow primer or base.
4)Use a skin tone matte to satin finish eyeshadow on your eyes. The reason you don't want it to be to gliterry is because this look is very neutral and soft so you don't want to have harsh features which will throw off this look. A little shimmer is all good you just don't want to have to sparkly of an eye.
5)Bring that same color down under your lash line.
6)Use a mascara on your upper and lower eyelashes. Make sure your not using a clumpy mascara because it will take away from the look.
7)Use a nude or brown toned lipstick on your lips. If you don't have a color in that range and you don't want to buy one I have a little tip for you. Put chap stick all over your lips, this will help with the creasing and the chapness of your lips. Put a little bit of concealer on your lips( I know your thinking concealer's for your face not your lips) but trust me it will be fine! Next,take either a clear beige color lipgloss and put a tiny bit on just so your lips don't look like your a corpse.
8)Wear this makeup with your favourite fall outfit and go out for a fun night in the town!

How to get the perfect red pout!



To get red lips all you have to do is follow this simple three steps, that's right only three steps to totally changing up your makeup look.
Products I used:
Steps:
1) Line your lips. Im lining my lips with Ulta lipliner in Fleash. The color I am using is very similar to my lip's color so I just use it to make my lips more defined.
2)Next, use a red lipstick. Im using N.Y.C in 309B in Sheer Red. Im not a fan of the N.Y.C's lipstick's becasue the lipstick is in a rounded shape so it make's it extremley easy to go out of your lipline. The formula, color, and price though I love.
3)Now this step is optional but I like to always have glossy lips so I put a gloss over the redlipstick just to complete the look. Im using a gilly hicks lipgloss in ColdWatermelon and I love the color and smell but the only negative I have is it's just a little sticky.
Wa-La! Beautiful Red lips!

Question of the Week: Healthy Hair
Anyways, I got a question from one of you readers and it asked me if I have any tips to have healthy hair.
If you want to have healthy hair read these tips:
~ Don't wash your hair everyday. Now when you read that you probably thought gross but I promise its fine! My hairstylist told me and a lot of magazines have posted about it too. Washing your hair everyday can damage the ends and dry out your hair. Now when I say don't wash your hair everyday doesn't mean don't take a shower for a week because that is just Nast to the ay (Nasty). I wash my hair every other day so on the days that I have oily hair from not washing it I use dry shampoo. Basically its kind of like a hairspray but it takes out the oil of your hair. The only thing that I am not a fan of is that if you put it a little to close it can either make your hair look gray or look like it has dandruff. Yucky! I use the tresemme dry shampoo and it works really well to take to oil out. Here's a picture of what the bottle looks like

~ Another tip is if your trying to grow your hair out long then make sure to get a trim regularly to cut off the dead and split ends. The dead and split ends provent it from growing longer and make it look frizzy and out of control and no one wants that type of hair.
~ Always apply a heat protectant to your hair whenever you use a hot tool, including a blow dryer. For somereason so many people don't apply a heat protectant when they use a blowdryer but you need to becasue your still applying heat to your hair!
~ Lastly, take vitamins! There are specific vitamins that are made to make your hair grow longer and be healthier so look out for those!
Thanks for reading and I have another post coming up soon!
P.S: Do you guys want to see some of the outfits Im wearing to school next week?

Like right now you get 40 eyesahdows free when you spend $20.00! That amazing considering how pigmented these eyeshadows really are. Just use the code: EGEYEFREE. Or if you want to get free shipping all you have to do is spend $30.00 and then bam free shipping! Use the code: Thirty. The only thing that I find is a bit annoying is you can't combine coupons so you have to decide which one you want more.
