The Voice: Christina Aguilera Top 10 Inspired Look

Today's look is yet again inspired by Christina Aguilera's makeup in the top 10 performance rounds. I tried to follow what her makeup artist Scott Barnes had done by using a hot pink shadow and an eggplant color layered over it and it came out a little more purple than his finished product but I still thought it was pretty.. always a fan of purples because they always make my eyes pop just a little bit more and give it more of a green appearance.. my eyes change colors all the time though lol

Here's the look:

Halloween Pics and New things coming soon...

I have a lot of reviews and swatches to cover on new products, tons of Christina Aguilera and Demi Lovato makeup looks.. In celebration of Britney Jean, I will be doing a Britney Spears week starting on Sunday. I have been slacking on doing nail art pretty much this whole year. I hope to have a Thanksgiving and Christmas nail art coming and lots of sparkle looks and while were on the subject of holidays I would like to share a picture of my costume.. I don't know exactly what it's called but I was really into the zipper face thing and had some fun with it.. maybe a little Gaga inspired too. a lot of my friends have said Nightmare Before Christmas.

Things I used:

NYX Jumbo Pencils in Milk and Black Bean, Black Dog shadow from UD Black Palette, Lime Crime Lip Stick in Serpentina and a zipper kit from Party City. I also used lash glue to apply it, I wouldn't advise doing that because it was a little painful to remove. I also used a lady gaga wig and Naked palette for the normal side of my face lol

Movie Inspired: Thor 2

My guy, our friend and I went to see Thor 2 this past weekend, and it was pretty good! I'm always a sucker for the super hero movies I have to say, but this look was inspired by the Thor 2 movie poster and Thor's outfit. Since Thor is from another planet, I thought this would be a great opportunity to try out my new Galaxy Chic Palette from BH Cosmetics. (which I will do a review about eventually.. but these are baked shadows and they can be applied dry or wet..I used some wet and some dry)

Here's my look:

Here's what I used:

• Highlight- Galaxy Chic Palette in Meteor
• Liner- Lime Crime in Reason, on the bottom of the lash line I used Urban Decay liner in Binge and also in the water line. I layered Sabbath on top of Binge and put Meteor in the inner corner
• Mascara- Maybelline Rocket Lash

Wedding Post: Amanda and Edward Graves

I had the honor and privilege of doing my friends makeup for her wedding last month in October. Amanda and I have known each other since middle school and we have always participated in choir together. When she asked me to do her makeup I was thrilled!! I had asked her to provide a photo of inspiration to go by because when your the bride you want to look beautiful and confident but also be comfortable on your big day. 

Here's the inspiration: She wanted more of a light smokey eye, nothing too dramatic and she wanted to try out red lips and false lashes

Here's what we came up with:

EYES

• Liner- I used Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Zero and I used a little Creep from the naked palette over it and on the lower lash line with the colors I used in the crease.
