Homecoming Horribles: Makeup

Previously on Homecoming Horribles: I talked about dresses to wear, and not to wear.

Hey guys!! Today I am going to talk about a few makeup options for homecoming as well as some products that I am loving! I also just want to start off by saying that Homecoming does not mean break out the Halloween makeup. You can wear a lot of makeup or do a smokey eye without wearing bright, overdone colors. With that said, let's get into the option and products!!

Standard Smokey Eye:
This is always my go-to option for Homecoming. Because you are using blacks and whites, it should match just about any dress. The trick to this look, is to put white on the lid with black on the outer corner and work it into the crease. This looks very easy to over due. Therefore, I think that it is very important to invest in a good blending brush! The one I use is by Sonia Kashuk. Personally, I think that this brand is just as good as the high end brands for brushes. I buy all of my brushes from that brand because they are great but they are also not that expensive. My blending brush cost about $10 which I think is pretty good for a makeup brush.

Brown Smokey Eye:
If you are worried about looking like the wicked witch with the standard smokey eye, you can always opt for a brown one. Brown smokey eyes are just as good as the standard one because they match just about everything. Personally, I like to use matte shadows for this look. My favorite shadow duo for this look is by Este Laughter! I got it a few years ago so I am not positive if they still sell it. However, it is basically a tan matte snacks and a chocolate brown matte color.  To deepen this look, I like to use a black liquid liner on my upper lash line because  I just think that black liner is an essential for any smokey look.

Pink and Purple:
If your dress matches pink or purple and you want to add a pop of color to your makeup look, you should try out this look. I love to take the cover girl pink quad and use the lightest color on the lid, the second lightest on the outer corner and the second darkest in the crease.  This look, if well blended, is just absolutely stunning without being too much and will turn heads on the dance floor.

Products to try in these looks:
1.  Liquid Black Liner
2. Cover Girl Pink Eye Shadow Quad
3. Sonia Kasuhk Brushes
4. Este Laughter  nude and brown duo

I hope that these three looks give you some ideas for homecoming! If you want to see a video tutorial, let me know in the comments below. And if you have any other makeup looks that you are loving for Homecoming, comment them too!!
Xoxo

Project Runway 10-15-15 Recap Review

Previously on Project Runway: The designers gave members of the Project Runway crew a makeover. Hey guys! Welcome to this week's Project Runway Recap Review! We are getting closer and closer to fashion week each episode and the competition is getting tight. At this point, any of the designers could go home. Last week was packed with drama...but...its a new week, and a fresh slate, so lets get started. Challenge: The five remaining designers will make an outfit inspired by the New York City bridges (Queensborough, Brooklyn, Manhattan). The designers were assigned a bridge from the black bag of doom. Each designer created a textile with a 3-D printer that they had to incorporate into their garment. This is an Avant Garde challenge. Thoughts In The Workroom:  I'm not so sure what I think about 3-D printers...comment down below and let me know what you think about them (in general, not just in fashion). Candice made a good choice not using black again this week. Designers wh...

Previously on the Prom Problem:  I talked about Bra's for Prom. All the special types that may be the best option for your dress.

Underwear lines plague everyone at some point but prom is the last place that you want them to show up.Today we will be solving those nasty underwear lines.  I know that everyone has different opinions about sharing underwear secrets online because it is private I guess for some people, but honestly, I think that it is okay as long as your not doing anything inappropriate. I am just saying this to let you guys know that this post is totally clean so if your thinking "oh my gosh what is she going to show us?" Don't worry about it...you can keep reading. On that note, lets take a look at a few solutions to The Underwear Problem. Solution 1: Thongs I am going to talk about thongs first because I think that they are the most common solution for panty lines. ...

Special Post- Inner Beauty- The NJ Sharing Network

Hey guys! I have always intended for this blog to be totally dedicated to beauty and fashion, however, this post is going to be a bit different. Well, I mean, it does kind of fit because all the beauty on the outside does not matter if you are not a beautiful person on the inside (which I am sure that all of you are). Recently, my little sister (Linda) had a kidney transplant. She received her new kidney from an organization called the NJ Sharing Network. The NJ Sharing Network is an organization which connects donor families with recipients. I wanted to help give back to the organization that gave my little sister so much...so I created a team for their annual 5K run. My team is called Linda's Home Team. Last year, my team raised around $3000 dollars for the NJ Sharing Network. This year, we are hoping to surpass that. It would mean the world to me if you guys would follow the link below to my page and give a donation to my team. Every penny counts. I love all of my re...
