Beautify and Creatify

When I first started building my professional makeup kit, the most important criteria for my makeup purchases were quality and affordability. One of my very first purchases was BH cosmetics 120 color palette of 2nd edition. I got this palette, because it had variety of colors, as well as some neutral and earth tone shades. Moreover, it was very affordable. My first impression of the eyeshadow colors was their great pigmentation and easy application. However, looking at some colors, like vivid yellow or bright orange, I had no idea what they could be used for. I would always think that bright colors would make one look ridiculous. I was so wrong. I started practicing my editorial makeup looks using bright shades from the palette, so I would not use up the ones that I use on my subtle everyday looks. However, while exploring the world of colors I was amazed by how the harmony of few shades can bring the makeup to totally another level. I started looking for inspiration in the n...

Hello my beautiful readers! In today's blog post I want to show you how to create one of my favorite looks - neutral makeup with pop of color. This look is perfect for spring. It is subtle, elegant and beautiful. This look can be worn on a daily basis. You can customize the look using different color as a pop color. It can be purple, green or any color that matches your outfit. I would suggest pairing this look with peachy or pink colored lipstick. But you can go with nude lip colors or just a lipgloss as well. Let's get started! 1. As usual, priming the eyelids are essential. Apply eye shadow base all over the lids, both upper and lower lids.  2.

Apply matte bronze color on your crease and using blending brush, blend it out well.  4. Take a pop color of your choice and apply it o...

Today's beauty post will show you how to create Gradient Glitter Makeup Look. All you need is white glitter and some color matching lighter and darker glitters, for example: light blue and darker blue glitter, as I picked for this look. You can wear this look to any special occasions, nights out and other events. Let's get started! 1. As usual, prime your lids.  2. Apply dark blue eyeshadow on your crease and blend it out nicely. 3. Now it's glitter time! Glitter is messy, it can get all over your face, therefore first you'll need to apply glitter adhesive/glue on your lids and then pack glitter on. That way glitter won't fall off and will stay on all day long. Apply white glitter in the first 1/3 of your lid starting from the inner corner. Then follow by packing light blue glitter on the center of your lid. 4. Pack dark blue glitter on the outer 1/3 of your lid.  5. Draw a line using blue eyeliner on your crease, right above the glitter. This ...
