Gold Rush makeup Tutorial

Hey Guys! Here's another tutorial. I bought some Ulta Minerals Eye shadows a while ago but haven't really used them, so I decided to make a tutorial using some of them and see how I like them. The result, I'm going to Ulta to get more.
Enjoy : )

Products I used:

Step 1: Prime your eyes with Too Faced Shadow Insurance Eye Shadow Primer. Make sure to prime your lower lid too.

Step 2: Using an eye shadow brush, pat Ulta Minerals Powder Eye Shadow in Gold in the lid. Be sure to tap off the excess eye shadow off your brush before patting it on since it's a loose eye shadow.

Step 3: Using a crease brush, apply Mac All That Glitters Eye Shadow into your crease and outer corner, blending the two colors together.

Step 4: Apply a Silk colored eye shadow on your brow bone and inner corner. I used Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Wet/Dry Eye Shadow in Peachy Jean.

Step 5: Line your lower lash line with a purple eye liner. I used NYX Eye Liner Pencil in Purple.

Step 6: Using an angled eye liner brush, apply Ulta Minerals Powder Eye Shadow in Wisteria over the purple eye liner. This will make the purple more vibrant.

Step 7: Liner your upper lashes with a black eye liner. I used NYX Eye Liner Pencil in Black.

Step 8: Apply your mascara on your top and bottom lashes, and you're all done!

Pop of Blue Summer Eyes Tutorial

Hey guys. I feel like it's been forever since I last made a tutorial. These past two days school was closed because of the snow we got, so I thought, what better way to spend my snow day than to make some more tutorials! (No sarcasm, I swear!) I wanted to make a tutorial that added more color, but would also be wearable for an everyday look. This look reminded me of summer. I don't know if it was because of the blue, or because when I did this tutorial, the window shades were open and the sun was shining right in my room, making it feel like it was 100 degrees. I don't know, but whatever it was, it brought back memories of summer. I hope you enjoy this nostalgic Pop of Blue Summer eyes.
: )
Products I used:

Step 1: Prime your lids. I used Too Faced Shadow Insurance, but any base or primer will work.

Step 2: Using an eye shadow brush, apply the top right eye shadow from the NYX eye shadow palette onto your lid. Then, using a fluffy eye shadow brush, apply the top left eye shadow from the NYX eye shadow palette onto your brow bone.

Step 3: Next, take the dark brown eye shadow from the palette and using an angled eye shadow brush, pat it on the outer corner of your eye, forming a V-shape, and blend it into your crease.

Step 4: This next step is optional, but if you do it, it will make your eyes really pop! Take a bright orange/gold eye shadow and just pat it onto the middle of your lid.

Step 5: Take a light champagne colored eye shadow (I used Victoria's Secret Beauty rush Wet/Dry eye shadows in Gold Rush) and apply it to your brow bone as a highlight color, and bring it down to the inner corner of your eye. 

Step 6: Line your top lashes with a black eyeliner. Any eyeliner will do (pencil, liquid, gel). I used NYX Slim Eye Pencil in Black.

Step 7: Next, I used a NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Electric Blue and applied it on the waterline. Then, I took an angled eye shadow brush and rubbed it on the pencil. Then I lined my lower lash line.

Step 8: Then, I applied two coats of mascara on my top lashes, and one coat on my bottom lashes. I used Clinique High Impact Mascara in Black.

I hope you guys like this tutorial! I think it would be such a cute look for the summer, so I know it's a little too early for this look, but we can pretend it's summer for now.

Barney the Dinosaur Eyes Tutorial...?

Ok, so as I was doing this tutorial, I was trying to think of a catchy name I could give this look, but I couldn't think of anything. Then, as I was selecting which pictures I was thinking, what do these colors remind me of?
Then it hit me.
Green. Purple. Dinosaur. Barney.
Enjoy : )

Step 1: Prime your lids. I used Too Faced Shadow Insurance, but any base or primer will work.

**I used eye shadows from Ulta, as you can see in the picture at the top. The eye shadow names are:
Top Left: Shamrock
Bottom Left: Amethyst
Top Right: Plum Smoke
Bottom Right: Mystical


Step 2: Using an eyeshadow brush, apply the color Plum Smoke all over your eyelid.

Step 3: Using a crease brush, apply the color Mystical into your crease.

Step 4: Using an angled eyeshadow brush or a crease brush, apply the color Amethyst into the outer corners of your eye, blending it together with the crease color Plum Smoke.

Step 5: Using an angled eyeliner brush, line your lower lash line with the color Shamrock, winging the color up to your brown bone.

Step 6: Line your upper lashes with a dark chocolate brown eyeliner. I used Too Faced Lava Gloss Eyeliner in Chocolate Lava.

Step 7: Using a smudge tip, Smudge the color across your lash line. softening the dark brown color. Also, apply the eyeliner onto your waterline.

Step 8: Apply two coats of mascara on your top lashes, and one coat on your bottom lashes. I used L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara in Blackest Black.

And there you have it, you're Barney eyes.
:P

It's never too late for Autumn Eyes! Tutorial

Hey guys. I recently went to Ulta and they had a sale on their Ulta Brand eye shadows, so naturally, I just had to get some! I was surprised with the quality of their eye shadows. They blended really well, and as far as their pigment goes, they were pretty good. These are the colors I used:
This look reminded me of Autumn colors. It's a very warm look, and will look great for any occasion!
Enjoy : )

Step 1: Prime your upper and lower lids. I used MAC Paint Pot in Painterly.

Step 2: Using an eyeshadow brush, apply the color Suede all over your eyelids.

Step 3: Now take the color Camel and apply it from your brow bone to your crease.

Step 4: Using a crease or angled aye shadow brush, apply the color Mink into your crease. Make sure to blend the color really well.

Step 5: Using an angled eyeliner brush, line your lower lash line with the color Chianti. Make a wing all the way up to your brow.

Step 6: Line your upper lashes with a dark chocolate eyeliner. I used Too Faced Lava Gloss Eyeliner in Chocolate Lava. Make the line a little bit thicker than usual. It's fine if it looks messy. You're going to be smudging the eyeliner next.

 Step 7: Using a smudge tip, smudge the eyeliner across your upper lash line.

Step 8: Line your waterline and lower lashes with the same eyeliner.

Step 9: Apply two coats of mascara on your top lashes, and one coat on your bottom lashes. I used L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara in Blackest Black. When applying your mascara, brush your lashes towards the outer corner of your eye like this:

I hope you like this look : )
