i feel pretty: make-up tutorial

i made more of an effort to actually do some fun stuff with my make-up this week and i sure do feel pretty :)

yesterday i tried a new combination of colors and it really turned out good! here is a little step by step on how i accomplished this look...

1. start with eye shadow primer. this is a must for long lasting, all day wear of eye shadow! i never wear shadow without it anymore.

2. take a mixture of black and dark brown shadows (a dab of each on the brush) and put in the outside corners of the lid, going about 1/4 into the lid.

3. layer the black and brown with a plum color, extending that into the middle. this gives the black and brown a softer look.

4. next take a yellowish gold color and put that in the inside corner, just slightly blending it into the plum.

5. use a shimmery white to highlight the corners and below the eyebrow.

6. finish with black or brown eyeliner and mascara!

don't you look pretty :) i also decided to go all out and wear red lipstick too! i'm not much of a lipstick person, but i do make a point to wear it sometimes.

let me know if you try this technique, i would love to hear what you think!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!

this is going to be a great year!
xoxo

new year deserves a new look

yea, its all fancy at this blog now. i love it! i feel like it fits my personality and interests perfectly. my favorite part is my new banner. i used an old photo of my grandparents in their first apartment together (aww!) and made it pretty using clip art from pugly pixel. My grandparents display the perfect example of how true love survives and grows. i always think of them when struggles come up between david and i, then i know we can work through it together.
what do you think of the new look?? any suggestions? also don't forget to grab a button for your blog-i made some new ones, just click on the link to see them all!
i'll be back later today with my new year goals :)
XOXO
