Lazy Girl :: Tutorial

Hello friends!

Some people see getting ready as a chore, but honestly I spend as much time as I can doing it. I think it's so fun to be able to play up certain features and mask others. You can go from looking like an innocent girl one day to a total diva the next. While I love getting ready, some days I don't feel like using a bunch of different brushes to apply different shadows. While this look still uses several brushes, I feel like I'm taking a short cut by not switching to a crease brush. I hope you guys enjoy and I'd love to see a picture if you re-create it!

 First I applied my Smashbox eyeshadow primer, then packed Sephora's eyeshadow in Exciting Safari all over the lid with my Sigma E55 brush.

 Instead of using a dark shadow and having to worry about blending it completely, I added Chopper from my Naked2 pallet, which is a very pinky gold, to my crease with the same brush. This adds a bit of dimension but in a very easy way.

 Using the same brush again, I added a small amount of Half Baked, an intense gold to the inner fourth of my eye to shape it even more.

 I chose YDK, a dark rose gold shadow and applied that to my lower lash line instead of eyeliner. For this I used my Sigma E30 brush.

 To highlight my brow bone I added Foxy, a matte cream color with my Sigma E40. This will also get rid of any harsh lines.

 Next I added a thin line of my Elf liquid liner and I winged it out, as always.

 You might remember I mentioned in a post during winter how I used to neglect filling in my brows. Not the case anymore. I feel like my makeup isn't complete until I do them. I simply use the powder from my Elf Brow Kit and fill in my brows with my Sigma E65 brush using short strokes.

 I have been using the Clinique High Definition Lashes mascara lately. The dual sided brush is what caught my eye in the department store. It has a normal side, but also a very firm, short side to really separate lashes. First I curled my lashes, then applied several coats.

 This photo doesn't do the eyes justice; it's more pigmented in person.

I finished the look by applying a Bouncy Blush in Pink Frosting, and my Buxom Lipgloss.

Sorry I don't have a better quality photo, but this is the finished look!!

Talk to you dolls soon

Hellooo!

Over spring break I had the wonderful opportunity to go to the Michael Jackson 

Cirque Du Soleil performance.

I cannot tell you how amazing it was.

Everything from the music, to the stage, to the costumes and the performers themselves!

I was in awe the entire time.

I would like to give a huge thank you to the Zoeller's for inviting me.

This also meant I got to spend some time with my great friends Maggie & Mandy :)

I don't know if any of you watch So You Think You Can Dance, but if you're a big fan you'll probably remember Cedric Gardner from season 3.

WELL we saw him there! Quite exciting ...I'd date him.

As for my outfit I was going for a kind of chic look. I stayed with all black to really highlight my shoes and layered some long chain necklaces for a dramatic look.

I wore my jacket when we were outside because it was a little chilly in Milwaukee.

Finally I just wore my black Coach crossbody bag you guys have seen a thousand times... I really need to invest in a clutch or a chain shoulder bag for going out.

Outfit-- Top: Marshall's. Pants: Target. Jacket: IZOD. Loafers: MIA. Watch: Fossil. White/Gold necklace: Forever 21. Grey Necklace: J.Crew. 

Hair/Makeup-- I'm wearing my extensions and just loosely curled my hair and pulled it to one side with a middle part. Make up is pretty simple. Just some gold shadow, black winged eyeliner, lots of mascara, pink cream blush, Clinique Chubby Stick on my lips in the shade Strawberry.

Hope you enjoyed!
