Makeup Monday How-To: Classic Winged Liner. I get a lot of requests for liner tutorials, so here is a quick classic: the winged eye. Step by step instructions are after the jump. I prefer to use MAC fluidline (in either blacktrack or dipdown - I used dipdown here) and a Sonia Kashuk bent eyeliner brush. The bent shape makes it super easy and the brush is thin but dense, so you have more control of the thickness of your line. Also, I swear by fluidline - I kind of hate liquid liner - but it's completely up to you!
Step one: Apply primer. I used MAC bare study paint pot (not pictured), which acts as a primer. Using short, dash-like strokes, apply a thin line just above your lash line. It's best to start with a thin line, because it's way easier to build it up than to make it thinner. I like for my winged tip to look almost like a continuing line from my lower lash line. NOTE: If you have issues keeping a straight line or problems achieving symmetry, it might benefit you to use tape as a guide, as seen here. Things to remember: Tie-Dyed Ends.

These colors just seem to compliment each other so well.The great thing about these is that you have a multitude of options, you can pretty much layer your way to oblivion with these amazing top coats. Sapphire Sparkle layered over Misa's 'A sin worth commiting' Sapphire Sparkle particularly looks great on top of darker hues, like black, grey, taupe, green and blue. Application The application of these CND Effects does not disappoint: they apply smooth and easy. Since Sapphire Sparkle consists out of glass flecks, instead of glitter, you'll get an extremely smooth surface. Beetle picture via TrekNature. Nfu Oh 51 nails.

I am sometimes asked how I style my hair, and while my method is far from perfect, I thought I'd show you how! My hair is pretty straight and fine naturally and I always let it air dry. Since I go about three days between washes, I like to curl it on the first day and let it mellow out into some nice waves over the next two. Let's get started! If your hair doesn't hold curl very well then you may want to put a palmful of curling mousse in it when it is halfway dry. First I comb out all of the tangles and apply a liberal amount CHI Iron Guard Protection Spray to prep my hair. Then I stick the top part up in a clippy so I can curl the bottom strands first. (though I want to upgrade to one of the fancy new ones from Sultra soon!)
When I'm done curling the bottom section, I mist it with Bumble and bumble Spray de Mode and comb through the curl with my fingers. Ahh!! If you want to dress it up a little, you can do a braided headband look! Well, that's it! Pretty Hair. Dark Purple with Gold Glitter Nails.
