Now that Spring is here I've been breaking out the coral blush! It's by far my favourite colour to wear this season. I thought it'd be fun to share some go-to coral blushes from drugstore to higher end. Let me know what your favourites are!

Maybelline Color Tattoo Combinations!

Allison — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 05:23:49 +0000

I love Maybelline color tattoos. They are probably the number one eye product I use on a daily basis. They work well as an eye shadow primer, base or even as an eye shadow on their own. They do not crease and hold pigment really well. I find they are so versatile! Here are the colours I currently own.


Left to right: Barely Branded, Barely Beige, Inked in Pink, Bad to the Bronze, Pomegranate Punk, Painted Purple
Although these colours are gorgeous on their own, they also look great paired with each other. Here are a couple colour combos that I really love. I've listed the colours from left to right:
	Barely Beige & Painted Purple Inked in Pink & Pomegranate Punk Bad to the Bronze & Inked in Pink
	Barely Beige & Bad to the Bronze

Maybelline color tattoos make doing eye makeup really easy and quick. I can't wait to pick up more!

Turquoise and Peach!

Allison — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 21:46:35 +0000

This is a super simple look because it’s basically just winged out eyeliner and a bit of contouring. It took me less than 5 minutes to do. Hope you enjoy!

Here are the finished eyes:

	Maybelline Color Tattoo – Barely Branded - Lightly applied all over the lid up to the brow
	Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Eye Shadow Pencil – Clash - Using an angled eyeliner brush from the inner corner to the winged out edge
	Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Eye Shadow Pencil – Clash - Using an angled eyeliner brush and applied to the lower lash line
	Any matte peach eyeshadow (Mine’s from Artistik cosmetics) - Using a fluffy brush blended through the crease connecting to the eyeliner.
	Essence Get Big Lashes Mascara - 2 coats on the top, 1 coat on the bottom

That’s it! Let me know what you think in a comment

Painted Purple!

Allison — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 17:46:32 +0000

I recently picked up a new Maybelline color tattoo in Painted Purple. It’s a very vibrant purple. I’ve paired it with Tease from the Naked 2 palette and I really like the look. Hope you enjoy!

Here are the finished eyes:

	Naked 2 palette - TeaseUsing a fluffy brush I blended it into the crease and slightly into outer V.
	Maybelline color tattoo – Painted purpleUsing my finger I applied it all over the lid.
	L’Oreal Infallible – Hourglass beigeUsing a flat brush I applied it to the inner corners and the brow bone.

Essence Get Big Lashes Mascara2 coats on the top, 1 on the bottom.

I decided not to use eyeliner because I wanted the purple to shine through. This was a super quick and easy look to do. I can’t wait to play around with this colour more!

Bad to the Bronze and Barely Branded! My go-to Winter look

Allison — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 18:15:50 +0000

With Spring approaching I’ve really been wanting to do looks that include the colours peach, turquoise and purple. So, before I jump right into Spring, I thought I’d do one of my go-to looks that I did this Winter. It’s super easy, only uses 2 eyeshadows and looks fantastic day or night. Hope you enjoy!

Here are the finished eyes:

And here’s how I did it:

	Maybelline Color Tattoo (Barely Branded) - All over half of the lid from the inner corner to halfway and up to the crease
	Maybelline Color Tattoo (Bad to the Bronze) - All over the second half of the lid blending the two colours in the middle
	Maybelline Color Tattoo (Bad to the Bronze) - Line the bottom lash line using a fine liner brush
	Hard Candy Stroke of Gorgeous (Oh Fudge) - Line the top lash line with a wing at the edge

Almay Get up and Grow Mascara - Two coats on the top lashes, one coat on the bottom

Alright, now enough with Winter, and on to Spring!!

Smoked Peach Eyes!

Allison — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 02:07:53 +0000

I’ve done this eye shadow look in several videos recently and had a lot of requests to do a tutorial. I think the peach colour really makes green eyes pop, but it would look great on any eye colour. I think it’s something that’s totally do-able for daytime, and also works as a soft smokey eye for night time. Hope you enjoy!

Here are the finished eyes:

And here’s how I did it:

	Maybelline Color Tattoo – Barely BrandedApply all over lid, up to the brow, and in the inner tear duct corner. This acts as an eye shadow base and also highlights the brow bone and inner corner.
	NYX Jumbo Eye Shadow Pencil – YogurtApply all over the lid stopping at the crease. Do not apply to inner tear duct corner.
	Urban Decay Eye Shadow – ChopperPack onto the area you applied Yogurt with a flat ended brush.
	Urban Decay Eye Shadow – NakedUsing a fluffy brush blend through the crease and into outer corner.
	Urban Decay Eye Shadow – NakedDrag under the lower lashes connecting to the outer V.
	Urban Decay Eye Shadow – BuckApply into outer V to deepen the colour and blend, blend, blend.
	Essence Long Lasting Eye Pencil – Hot ChocolateRim top and bottom water lines.
	Hard Candy Stroke of Gorgeous – Oh FudgeApply to top lash line and flare out at the edge.

Almay Get up and GrowApply 2 coats to top lashes.	Hard Candy 1000 lashesApply 1 coat to bottom lashes.

Hope you liked this look! Let me know in a comment if you have any requests!
