Crimson Crazy

I am loving this new, red look. 

It's easy to do with bareMinerals products. 

Here's how I do it:

Start with this warm, red color, Shantung, 

over the whole lid, but not above the crease 

(however, you can build this up into the crease). 

Place Night Owl in the deepest part of the crease,

focusing darkening the outer corner.

Swirl a touch of Sweet Smile in the crease,

blending slightly angled outward.

Highlight with Garland under the brow bone 

and in the inner corner.

Don't forget to blend this light color everywhere 

without mellowing the warm red hue 

(Just blend where the colors meet).

I did this look two days in a row.

But look at the difference.

Day one is a light look, Day two was actually a night look.

Clean Brushes are Happy Brushes

Clean brushes are happy brushes, 

and happy brushes paint happy faces,

and happy faces are prettier,

and prettier faces have fewer pimples,

because happy brushes have

 less oil and bacteria.

Whoa, that was a mouthful, haha!

To clean your brushes, 

start with a brush bubble bath! 

Use a dime-sized amount of brush shampoo

and gently massage the bristles 

under a light-flowing faucet of warm water.

Make sure the brush is angled in the direction 

of the running water.

After cleaning the brush head, 

gently squeeze the excess water out of the brush 

while angling and reshaping it.

Then leave them out to air-dry on a towel.

Wait to apply makeup when they are completely dry.

This is what they should look like 

after you reshape them and leave them out overnight:

You should repeat this process once a week.

You can also reduce oils and bacteria from 

interacting with your skin by 

cleaning your cell phone daily,

not touching your face, and

not playing with your hair.

Hope my tips helped!

Here is a little bareMinerals haul!

YIPPEEEEEE!

This stuff feels so fluffy and primes the skin for my foundation.

I will wear this shade until I get a bit more sun

YAY! Brand new brushes!

new TOMS

Love them. Love them. Love them. BURLAP!

My little sister, Celia, is wearing the baby pink converse.
I love her so much and am so glad we got to hangout this weekend
She is growing up so fast.
It is so much fun to go home
and have her show me her new piano and harp pieces.
She is so talented.

first performance

it's official. I love performing original stuff. This was my makeup look for my first performance of my own lyrics and music on the harp!

Winged liner, natural lips

My harp was happy too

Copper eye shadow blends

Little nervous, but I gotta fake fierce

Yay, here we go!

It was amazing.

I have never felt so alive.

TatToO

Yep, I got a tattoo! Well I have had this one since last August, but it was in white ink (which was hard to see, so I went and got it in black ink over the white!). Do you like? =P

SOPHiA MARiE WITH NO MAKEUP AT ALL?


Yep.

     

Messy night hair

 

No Makeup

My Nighttime Face Routine:

Nighttime is the time for a clean face, so never sleep with makeup on. 

I begin cleaning my face with a light cleanser to remove makeup.

Next I use my Clarisonic Mia with a gentle exfoliator. 

After that, I use a witch hazel toner and Obagi Pore Therapy.

Then I gently pat Dermalogica Active Moist all over my face and neck.

After flossing and brushing my teeth, I take my tooth brush and brush my lips.

This sounds silly, but it actually exfoliates your lips and keeps them smooth. 

Lastly, I use a dab of Aquaphor by Eucerin 

(petroleum jelly based moisturizer) on my lips.

Time for bed. 

Night, Yall!

upside down eyeshadow

Today was a day for a fun, fast hair style (using a fun head band and a big flower clip) 

and bright, blue eye shadow underneath!

I first put up a loose bun using spin pins. 

Then I messily put the head band in and added the random flower!

Upside down eyeshadow is my new favorite thing 

(put the bright colors on the bottom lash line)!

I love this flower. My mom surprised me with it in the mail. 

I love getting her college care packages =)

I applied my Urban Decay blue shades underneath 

(Darkest shade in the outer corner down to white in the inner corner). 

Next, I added blue mascara. 

My upper lid is regular black mascara and liner. 

I used the BareMineral's Foil and Fuse kit for my upper lid 

(Deep silver hues). 

Sorry for re-wearing the outfit in this post, but I love the blue!
The makeup look is only slightly different on the upper lid.
The hairdo is so random and fun - you should try it too!
Hope your day was as lovely as mine -- the sky was brighter blue than my eye makeup, hehe!
