Bad to the Bronze

Hello beauties! 

I've been so in love with this cream shadow, I just had to share. The color tattoo in Bad to the Bronze by Maybelline is my "go to" eyeshadow. It doesn't crease or rub off, which is perfect for the summer heat. You can build it up for a nighttime look and the shimmer is luminous. You will look like you tried a little harder on your makeup, although all you did was rub the shadow with your finger onto your eyelid! That's a huge plus for me. Because I liked this color so much, I bought a white shimmery one in Too Cool, but it does not compare. For some reason it creases and it applies a little blotchy (boooo). There are several other colors that I haven't tried yet but who knows, maybe they are just as good as this gorgeous bronze color. If you try them out let me know what you think. Have an amazing summer!

Fall Beauty Trend: Gold and Red

Now that it is finally starting to feel like fall, inspirations for this season are starting to emerge, not only in fashion but in makeup as well. The fall runway shows gave us an insider look on what trends to expect. The looks were very festive and bold. The dominant trends in the runway were gold! The models for Jason Wu, Donna Karen, Rodarte, J. Mendel, and BCBG Max Azria sparkled down the runway with vibrant gold eye. Another dominant trend was a bold red/burgundy lip. Designers like Carolina Herrerra, Peter Som, and Diane von Furstenberg were a few that showed off the bold lip trend. Many of you think that you cannot wear those looks but you can! Gold looks beautiful on every skin tone and a bold lip as well. The trick is finding the shade that works for you. On the video below I’m taking those daring looks from the runway, and transforming them into every day makeup looks. I have created two different looks using both trends that are very wearable and beautiful; a simple look for day and a smoky look for night and the holidays. Try it out, take a risk, and go bold!
