Beautify and Creatify

Hello, lovelies! During the past year I have created very many looks and shared them on my social media (Instagram, Facebook and Twitter). I decided to post some of my favorites on this blog as well, so that people can get more detailed information on how-to steps, as well as, look at the pictures with better resolution. Here I am sharing with you a look with plum and golden shades, that was initially inspired by Fall colors. I used Tarte Cosmetics Rainforest After Dark limited edition eye and cheek palette to create this look. Hope you like it!

Hello, my beautiful readers! Today I am back with pretty holiday look pictorial incorporating gold and shimmery turquoise shades. I used all Motives Cosmetics to create the eye makeup look and Anastasia Beverly Hills Products on my brows. 

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! Today I want to share with you this classic makeup look that I created a while ago. Unfortunately I don't have a pictorial of the process of creation, but I'll describe the steps for you, so you can recreate it by yourself. This makeup look is called differently: pin up look, rockabilly, Merilyn Monroe's look and etc. However, for me this will always be a classic winged liner and perfect red lip combination.  Let's get started! 1. Make sure that your brows are filled in accurately and tweezed/groomed nicely.  2. Once the eyelids are primed, apply matte white shade all over the lid. 3.  Now using small pencil brush apply matte dark brown shade on the crease line.  4. Using lighter brown shade, blend the dark brown crease line upwards, towards the browbone area.  5. Highlight the brow bone area, apply white eyeliner on the waterline and draw a cat eye winged liner on the lash line using liquid liner.  6....

Is applying winged eyeliner shape is always a struggle for you? Don't worry, with practice you'll nail this technique in no time! Today I want to share with you some tips and tricks that can make the eyeliner application process so much easier for you. Let's get started!   1. Line something straight (handle of the brush, credit card or ruler) along with the outer half of your lower lash line. Basically, place the straight object parallel to the waterline of the eye. This way you will get the angle of the wing on both eyes the same.  2. Now, holding a brush/ruler place a dot on the point where you want your wing to end. You can also add some more dots towards the outer corner of the eye to create a trace of the wing.  3. Connect the dots. Do the same on the other eye, so you can make sure you've got the same/similar wings on both eyes. 4. Line the upper lash line of the eye. Make...
