Black Lips & Neutral Eyes ♥

Black lipstick has been the new trend lately, besides the Kylie Jenner Nude Lip. I’ve been wanting to try this trend for a while but was a little hesitant since black lips is so difficult to make wearable. I’m pretty sure the last time I wore a Black lip was when I was about 10 years old for Halloween (I was a witch btw).

Anyway, I’m super happy with how it came out! I made sure to bronze my skin and contour perfectly so that my face didn’t look too flat. I wanted to keep the eyes neutral but still a little smokey to give it a nice exotic effect.

I hope you guys enjoy this look as much as I did filming this. I am seriously obsessed with how it came out so I really hope you guys love it just as much!

Night Out Makeup | Feat. Amrezy Palette by Anastasia Beverly Hills ♥

If any of you are as addicted to makeup the way I am, I’m sure you also follow a thousand and one makeup “guru’s” and makeup artists on Instagram. Many of these girls are lucky enough to establish an amazing following which eventually leads to brands taking notice of them. Amrezy is one of these girls. I have been following her for a while now and I just love all of her amazing makeup looks! She’s definitely the QUEEN of highlighting in my opinion, for sure. She recently collaborated with Anastasia Beverly Hills (The QUEEN of eyebrows herself) to create an eyeshadow palette.

I personally love to support my fellow Youtubers, Bloggers, and Instagramers as much as I can, especially when I truly believe in their talent. With that said, I went out and bought this palette the week it came out (Totally would’ve bought it the day it came out, but of course it was sold out everywhere!) I’ve been in love ever since.

I plan on doing a review on it soon, so definitely stay tuned but I couldn’t help but play with it as soon as I got it so I decided to film a video doing just that 🙂

I hope you enjoy this look that I created, like I said, it was the first time I actually used the palette so I wasn’t even sure what I was going to do in the beginning haha. If you do enjoy the video, please share it with your friends & family (hey, you can even tag @amrezy herself!), comment, like, and of course subscribe!

Quick & Easy Fun Summer Makeup ♥

The warm, sunny days have finally arrived here in New York and I couldn’t be more excited about it. Summer is my favorite time of year because of the beautiful weather and of course the fun, bright colors we can wear (especially with makeup)!

For this look, I decided to keep it very simple but still fun and bright for the summer. I definitely think it is perfect for a summer day look, I got so many compliments that day while out and about. It’s seriously so easy that anyone can do this!

I hope you guys enjoy it, if you do please subscribe to my channel, like my video, comment & share it as well. Thanks a bunch!

Brittany Sky | Orange Inspired Makeup Tutorial ♥

The other day I was scrolling through Instagram and happened to come across @brittanysky ‘s Instagram page. I decided to go through it and look at her pictures, she’s very beautiful and her makeup was gorgeous! If I’m correct, I believe she is a model but I’m not 100% sure. Anyway, After pretty much stalking her page for a good 30 minutes, I decided to screen shot one of her pictures and recreate her makeup look.

I’m always a sucker for color. Any type of color, so when I saw her bright orange eyeshadow I was automatically attracted to it! Unfortunately, I didn’t have a bright orange eyeshadow that was as bold as hers so I decided to make my recreation a little more wearable for you guys.

This look is something I would definitely wear in the summer, It just gives you this beautiful natural glow! Ughh love!

I hope you guys enjoy this look as much as I did recreating it 🙂 Tag Brittany Sky if you can so she can see too! (Please!) and of course like always, if you enjoy this video please share with your friends, comment, like, and subscribe to my youtube channel!
