Look: Bright…Like Sunshine!
Posted by Heather | Filed under Bobbi Brown, Brown, Chanel, Looks, MAC, NARS, Yellow
This was a look I did using NARS Mekong and Galapogos…and it disturbs me that I cannot find my Mekong after the move :-( I’ll keep looking for it though. With all of the overcast spitting of rain we’ve been having, it’s nice to do a post that reminds me of the SoCal sunshine!
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Cash Flow PP (base), Yaby Yellow Matte e/s (inner lid), NARS Galapagos (middle & outer lid), NARS Mekong (crease), NARS Night Star (highlight), Bobbi Brown Chocolate Shimmer Ink (liner), Orpheus Kohl Power (waterline), Plushlash mascara
- Cheeks: Enough Said BPB
- Lips: Bobbi Brown Beige Gold + Chanel #118 Glossimer

Look: Cut the Crease Attempt #1
Posted by Heather | Filed under Blue, Gold, Looks, MAC, NARS, Smashbox, Urban Decay, Yaby, Yellow
I’ve seen some online tutorials recently spotlighting looks that use a technique called “cutting the crease” where the color below the crease is drastically different from the one above, and they are not blended together. I did a crazy attempt. It’s wild, bold, and loud! I don’t expect that others would readily wear this look “out” but it’s something fun and different to look at :-) I don’t like it much, and I don’t really like the blush with this look either. Should have gone more pink I think.
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Yaby Pearl Paints in yellow and blue, Yaby yellow shimmer e/s (lid), Deep Truth (crease line), Bang-on-Blue (above crease), Smashbox Oyster (highlight), UD 24/7 Deviant (liner), UD 24/7 Honey (lower lashline), Plushlash mascara
- Cheeks: Enough Said BPB + NARS Albatross
- Lips: Creme d’ Nude lipstick

Look: Subtle Intensity
Posted by Heather | Filed under Blue, Bobbi Brown, Looks, MAC, NARS, Yaby, Yellow
My combinations of yellows and blues aren’t gonna go away anytime soon :-) I just have too many UCLA and Edison MS shirts, and they beg for me to do yellow and blue looks to match! This look, I felt, came out subtle – as in, it’s not in-your-face. But it’s still pretty intense when you look at the makeup. I loves it :-)
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Yaby Pearl Paints (white, lt. yellow, blue), Unbasic White (inner lid), Dreammaker + Chrome Yellow (middle lid), Deep Truth (outer lid), NARS Night Flight (crease), Nylon (highlight), Bobbi Brown Cobalt Ink (liner), Plushlash mascara
- Cheeks: Enough Said BPB + Warmed MSF
- Lips: Creme de Nude + YSL Golden Gloss #1

Look: Colors of the Sun
Posted by Heather | Filed under Brown, Looks, MAC, NARS, Orange, Smashbox, Yaby, Yellow
Ok, well they’re not that bright. I don’t know why, but orange eyeshadow totally intrigues me! I’m so fascinated with it, and I am determined to make every color eyeshadow work somehow. Can’t say the same for lip colors unfortunately – bright pinks, severly dark, or bright opaque colors on my lips just looks wrong, and I can’t get over it enough to wear it out. Eyeshadow, on the other hand, usually has me blending anywhere from 4-10 colors together, so I can make any color work (they all play nice together). I really wanted to use some flame-like colors with this look, as well as incorporate my new NARS goodies (Mekong = pure love btw!). You’ll be seeing some more orange-inspired looks soon too. Thoughts?
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Yaby Pearl Paints oranges (base), Smashbox Flamingo (inner lid), Smashbox Torch (middle lid), NARS Galapagos (outer lid), NARS Mekong (crease), Smashbox Oyster (highlight), Bobbi Brown Espresso Ink (liner), Plushlash mascara
- Cheeks: Springsheen blush
- Lips: Smashbox Candid lipgloss

Look: Sometimes It All Comes Together
Posted by Heather | Filed under Blue, Bobbi Brown, Chanel, Gold, Looks, MAC, NARS, Yaby, Yellow
This is one of those looks that I felt really came together the way I wanted. I love the combination of yellows and blues, and I get to do it a lot with all of the UCLA shirts that I have. :-) It almost looks kinda green huh? Go figure haha! ;-P I’m really fond of the way that it all looks with the blush, lipstick and eye look all together. Best part? It’s actually a really easy look to create. Some simple yellows and blues with blue liner. Easy!
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Yaby Pearl Paints (light yellow, gold, blue), Soft Force (inner lid & highlight), Bright Future (middle lid), NARS Night Flight (outer lid & crease), Bobbi Brown Cobalt Ink (liner), Plushlash mascara
- Cheeks: Cheek & Cheerful mineralize blush
- Lips: Brave New Bronze l/s + Chanel Bronze Crystal Glossimer

Look: For the Rehearsal
Posted by Heather | Filed under Cle de Peau, Green, Laura Geller, Looks, MAC, Yellow
Well, this look was done for the rehearsal “day” for my cousin’s wedding. She’s 22 and the wedding was in Abilene, TX. First I went and got my nails done with my mom – I chose a Nubar color (blue duochrome) which is really pretty and I wore a black dress for the wedding, so anything would match. Then we went to one of their family friends’ house for a wine and cheese gathering. It was one of the strangest houses I’ve ever seen…and there was no wine, and not a lot of cheese. Very strange. Anyway, then we headed to the church for the rehearsal and a mexican restaurant called “Amanda’s” (mexican?) for dinner. It was a fun day overall. I wanted to do a look that was indicative of me while not doing anything that people would be shocked with. I dunno if I was able to pull off both (since you never really know what people will say about you), but I really liked it. It came out exactly how I wanted it to, so that always makes me happy!
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Yaby pearl paints (base), Dreammaker (inner lid), Eyepopping (middle lid), Wondergrass (outer lid), Bottle Green (crease), Nylon (highlight), Bobbi Brown Black Ink (upper & lower lashline), UD 24/7 Covet (waterline), Plushlash mascara
- Cheeks: Laura Geller Pink Grapefruit blush
- Lips: Chanel Intuition l/s + Cle de Peau #2 lipgloss

Look: That Summer Glow
Posted by Heather | Filed under Gold, Looks, MAC, Orange, Red/Maroon, Yellow
This look was for a Memorial Day BBQ at my mother-in-law’s. I went for sunset colors and golden tones in this look. I also started using Sun Rush Lusterdrops – I mix one small drop in with my foundation, then apply over my whole face. So if I seem to look a little shiny, I’m not, it’s the “glow”. :-)
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Cash Flow PP (base), Bright Future (inner & middle lid), Peppier (middle lid & crease), red side of Danger Zone (upper crease), Bronze (outer “V”), Soft Force (highlight), Blacktrack Fluidline (upper lashline), UD 24/7 Lucky (lower lashline & waterline), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: I mixed some Sun Rush Lusterdrops into my foundation and used Eversun BPB
- Lips: Sunsational l/s + Gold Rebel lipglass

Look: Gold and Black Smokey Hawaiian
Posted by Heather | Filed under Black, Gold, Looks, MAC, Smokey, Yellow
For my last day in Kauai, Hawaii, I did this smokey gold and black look. Of course you know that I didn’t bring my entire collection with me…no, not even close. I brought a fraction of it and it was so painful to leave some things behind, but I managed. And the other thing about being here…I don’t want to spend over an hour getting ready, which is difficult for me to do especially when my stuff is all over the place in different bags and containers. My family gets on my case when I take too long, and it’s so much more difficult without my close-up mirror and everything. Anyway, I was wearing my favorite black shirt and kakhi pants for a day of shopping, hanging by the pool-side bar, and just walking around. So this is the look I chose to go with it. Aloha!
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Black Tied (outer lid & crease), Goldmine (middle lid), Gorgeous Gold (inner lid), Motif (highlight), Feline Kohl Power (upper lashline), UD 24/7 Honey (lower lashline), Guerlain Loose Kohl Powder #1 Noir (waterlines), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Dior Bronze Couture Palette Bronzer + Chanel gold highlight powder
- Lips: YSL Rouge Pur #59 + Chanel Gold Shine Glossimer
