    How to: Authentic 1920’s Flapper Makeup

    I have linked the exact products I used, or similar ones, throughout this blog post. If you click and purchase these, I get a commission, which helps keep up this blog! So thank you! Recently, I came across a video collaboration between a few youtubers who are doing a “makeup through the ages” project, where they all chose an era from which to do a makeup look, from the 1920’s to the 1990’s. And while I loved a few of them, there were some others that I wasn’t impressed by. So I decided… why not try myself? First up, we have the 1920’s, and this was one that really… I’m…

    Makeup Tutorial: St. Patrick’s Day!

    I don’t know why I don’t use colorful makeup on a more regular basis, but lately I have realized that, while I do tend to be a more natural-look kind of girl, bright eyeshadow looks are something I really enjoy wearing and creating! Plus, I’ve discovered that so long as there’s no super dark liner/black shadow, my husband likes these looks as well. I used to think he didn’t like crazy  makeup. Turns out, he just doesn’t like super dark makeup.Which is fine by me. So today, since it’s St. Patrick’s day and I have no outfits to share, I thought I’d do a fun, bright green eyeshadow look! I…

    Pretty in Pink: Makeup Look

    Thank goodness I had time to whip this up yesterday; last night around midnight I started throwing up with the flu. Ugh. So while I’m resting and feeling better, you can try a pretty new makeup look! When I was typing the name of this tutorial into my computer files, I accidentally typed “Pretty in Oink.” But of course, this is not a Miss Piggy makeup look — although now that I think of it, that sounds kind of fun! — this is merely… a very pink makeup tutorial, for those of you who love ultra-girly looks! I wanted to coordinate the look with these gorgeous hair clips from House…

    Skincare during pregnancy, general routine, and a few tips

    I’ve been meaning to do a skincare post for a while, but somehow just never got around to it until now! I am no stranger to having skin issues, as you can see! The left is me with makeup on two years ago, edited to make the breakout seem better than it was. The right is me a few weeks ago (I look the same now, I promise) with no makeup on and no editing done. And I’m pretty sure I had also just woken up, ha! Suffice it to say, though, my skin has drastically improved in the last few years. First off, I have had a few people…

    Doppleganger Makeup: Cher

    Ever since I parted my hair in the middle this weekend, I had about… oh, I dunno… everyone commenting to say I looked like a young (pregnant, less plastic) Cher. So, of course, what is a girl to do but steal makeup ideas? And I don’t know you guys, I actually see it now that I did this makeup. So let’s get started! You will need: foundation, concealer, eyeshadow primer (optional), black and neutral shadow (used: Night Sky and Champagne Fizz), taupe shadow (I used the one from the Natural Smokes pallet), shimmery dark brown and shimmery cream shadows, bronzer, black or brown eyeliner, black mascara, and a brownish-nude lipstick…
