6 Hot Summer Eye Makeup Tutorials!

6 Hot Summer Eye Makeup Tutorials!
I am going to clue you all in on a little secret, I have never been taught how to put on makeup! Honestly, I have had very little interest in makeup, hair or beauty in any way until recently. I don't know what it is, but as the kids get older and I find I have more time, there is actually a renewed interest in looking my best. A while ago, I posted a roundup with 5 short hair tutorials for summer. 1. I really love this look. 2. I don't know what it is, but I really love the striking green color in this one down near the lashes and then the more smokey/muted feel of the rest of the look. 3.

Not sure that I am brave enough to try something this bright and colorful, but I really love it and think I will probably sport it at least a few times this summer. 5. 6. Another pinkish coral colored tutorial here. Kathleen Bunn

Over the years we have tried dozens of DIY beauty recipes to find ones we like—and that work.

&How-To: Newsprint Manicure & A Pretty Penny I saw this newsprint manicure over on The Daily Nail and thought it was adorable (especially for bookworms and word lovers like myself). I did a little Google detective work to see how to recreate it, and was surprised at how easy it is! All of the tutorials I found called for vodka or other clear distilled spirits, but we were fresh out. I used isopropyl alcohol instead, and it seemed to get the job done. I tried a quick and dirty version this afternoon to share it with you: Like this: Like Loading...
