You can take the girl out of Texas...

But you can't take the Texas out of the girl. Hey y'all! I know I haven't posted in a while I am still trying to get settled in to our new place but my husband always makes time for some football. We, of course, support our Dallas Cowboys no matter what! I decided to have a little fun this past Sunday and do a Cowboys inspired look. I wanted to show how you can make blue eyeshadow work without looking like MiMi on the Drew Carey Show! So here it is!

 

 

How to:

  1. Moisturize skin with mark. Get A Tint Tinted Moisturizer Lotion SPF 15. Then, using a makeup sponge apply Got the Goods Multi-Benefit Foundation Lotion SPF 15 to entire face. Apply Good Riddance Hook Up Concealer under eyes & around nose. Set the foundation with Powder Buff Natural Skin Foundation.
  2. Prep eyelids with mark. Primed for Perfection, make sure to apply to entire lid & along lower lashes. Apply the Moonshine I-mark eyeshadow to inner half of lid. Then, apply Electra I-mark eyeshadow to the outer half of your eyelid overlapping the silver a little. Lastly, apply Nightly I-mark eyeshadow to outer corner of lid and into the crease. Then take a blending brush and blend all shades together so there are no harsh lines. Highlight inner corners of eyes and under brow with Ice Age I-mark. Take No Place to Run Longwear Eyeliner in Jet Set and line your top eyelid and extend line slightly beyond corner of eye. Apply the same Eyeliner on the outer corner of lower lashes. Then with a dry brush smudge your line and highlight under line with Nightly. Apply 2 coats of mark. Lash Act Build and Define Mascara in Blackest Black on upper lashes.
  3. Contour face with Glowdacious Illuminating Powder in Shimmied Up, applying it to hollows of cheeks & along hairline. Apply Just Blushing Powder Blush in Dollhouse to apples of cheeks. Highlight with Touch & Glow Shimmer Cream Cubes All Over Face Palette on cheekbones & down nose.
  4. Apply mark. Bare Hug lipclick to lips with a little of In a Whirl Marbelized Lip Gloss in Pink Souffle to finish off your look.
But remember if you wind up looking like this.....

You have done something wrong!

Why so serious?

So I last minute decided to dress up for Halloween and by last minute I mean at about 5:00 yesterday. So I went to my closet and noticed a lot of green and purple and decided to go with the Joker. I had a green makeup look I've been wanting to try so it was perfect.

I wore the mark. Very Vintage dress under my American Eagle kelly green sweater. Also with the vintage mark lace scarf and the purple tights from the mark. Do the Tight Thing set. Here was my inspiration for the make up...

And here was my interpretation of it...

This was before I fixed the"scar"
 

And this was after..
 

 

Of course I exaggerated it more than the photo bc it was Halloween. But let me know what you think and what you were for Halloween!
