Time for Tea: Everyday Vintage Cat Eye Make up. Hey there girls :) Today I was inspired by the BEAUTIFUL Dana from Wonder Forest's easy and gorgeous make-up tutorial for Everyday Smokey Eyes. I thought I'd show you my everyday make up and maybe give you a little inspiration too to try something new with your make up! I just love this make up style! I hope you like it too :) Jess xox. Makeup Mon...errr Tuesday: Green Eyes. First, I know it's Tuesday and I'm predictably late with Makeup Monday. I hope the lack of alliteration doesn't detract from the post; I promise that I have lots of great excuses for not putting this up yesterday. Or, I fell asleep. One of my first forays into the wonderful world of bright eyeshadow was with a beautiful shade of green from Milani (whose older shadows were amazing), and I was forever hooked.

Green has since become the most popular color in my rather large makeup collection, though I can't remember the last time I gave them a proper spotlight. For this look, I only used the dark green in the palette, Libertine, and the primer potion. For step by step instructions on how to achieve this look, continue reading after the jump! This will make the colors pop and keep them from creasing. I used the MAC 213 brush with UD Vert e/s, but you can use any comparable brush and bright green shadow. I used the MAC 275 brush and UD Libertine from the black palette. Guide to Pigment Pressing (PIC HEAVY) - Specktra.net MAC Makeup Community. Hey there, this is my first tutorial! I'm aware that many of you already know how to do this as there's many pigment pressing tuts, but I was bored and this kept me entertained. I originally posted this here: What You Will Need (NOT PICTURED: Optional items such as a straight iron and baking paper) Where can I find empty eyeshadow pans?

Where can I buy alcohol for pressing? How long do I leave the pigment to 'dry' before pressing? How does the colour payoff/texture compare? An Easy DIY Lipstick Palette — Product Girl.

Passion Nail Art and learn about everything. Makeup Gallery. Sweet Girl White Swan Look. Get Yo’ Nails Did. Okay, so we’re only three weeks in to this whole thing and I’m already showing you a tame look after I totally promised some of you that I’d do a newsprint nail tutorial this week. Newsprint we can do next week, but for right now I wanted/needed a manicure by a professional.

As I told you in the first “Get Yo’ Nails Did”, it’s important to include real manicures in your nail routine if you’re not comfortable cutting your cuticles and getting into the real work at home. I am not. I’m willing to shell out $20 bucks to have the dirty work done right, but I’m not going to splurge on nail art at the salon most of the time. As you can see from the photo above, I prefer to do a basic manicure but make it a little different by switching up the colors on my index and middle fingers. This is my “understated yet classy” look and while it still may be a bit much for some of you, you can choose colors that don’t contrast so much.
