Party Outfit Ideas!

Party Outfit Ideas!



Sorry I haven't blogged, I have been super busy with homework! This weekend I am going to a party. It's sort of casual but not too dressy, you get me? :D So to get into Party Mode I decided to blog about different party outfit ideas! If I have time tomorrow before the party I will blog a Party Makeup and Hair post! Let's get into it!

Casual
For a casual look, I would probably choose black leggings, a nice over sized sweater with leather boots and a nice accessory (like a big gold watch). It's casual, comfy and cute all in one!

Dressy
So for this look I decided that a nice basic dress would be perfect. I snagged my white skater dress from H&M and spiced it up. I put on a big gold statement necklace with matching earrings and brought a nice cardigan in case it got chilly I think I brought a dark red one from Hollister. For shoes I wore white tom-like shoes with gold trimming. They're dressy-ish

Black Tie
I absolutely love Black Tie parties. I usually go with a dark colored dress, depending on the occasion you can wear a floor length or any length, I wear a matching scarf sort of draped around my shoulders when wearing a floor length or for a shorter length I wear a nice classy statement necklace
and bring a nice sweater.

This is it for the article! Sorry it's short I have to do an big essay for my Journalism class. TTYL

Makeup Tutorial: The Natural Makeup Look!

The Natural Makeup Look

If you want to switch up your makeup look or just want a fresh face this article will teach you how to get the Natural Makeup Look.

                                        Face:
Start with a nice mousse foundation like the one in the Maybelline line. Wash your hands and apply the foundation with your fingers. Apply a pressed powder only to skin discolorations, pimple, dark circles with a makeup sponge.Apply a pinkish/brown blush with your fingers for a fresh, non-cakey look.  If you a more detailed approach go back and look at the "Fake Flawless Skin" makeup tutorial that I posted recently for tips. :)

Eyes:
Apply a nice eyelid primer to make your eyeshadow and eyeliner last all day. Apply a champange colored eyeshadow  for the base color. Use your fingers when applying it. Take the Rimmel ScandelEyes eyeshadow pencil in Bulletproof and apply to your crease, blend in with your fingers so it's not as harsh. Curl your eyelashes and apply brown mascara.

Eyebrows:
Just fill'em in :)

Lips:
Apply a nude lipstick and finish off with clear lip gloss

This was very quick and not as detailed as I wanted it to be because I'm super busy with homework!!

Makeup Tutorial: Fake Flawless Skin!

Makeup Tutorial: Fake Flawless Skin (On a Budget!)

                                                               Supplies:

                                                               Foundation Brush (e.l.f Foundation Brush $1)
Foundation to match your skin tone (Covergirl Natural Foundation $7)
Tinted Moisturizer (e.l.f Tinted Moisturizer $3)
Pressed Powder (Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder $4)
Makeup Sponges (Beauty Tools 3Pack $5)
Concealer Stick (Rimmel Spot the Blemish Concealer Stick $4)

Prep:
Wash your hands (We don't want your dirty hands applying makeup)
Clean your work area (Wipe down Vanity and clean mirror)
Clean Brushes and Sponges
Put long hair in a pony tail and put on a headband to slide  back baby hairs or bangs

Steps:
1. With clean hands, apply the Tinted Moisturizer by putting a pea sized amount on the tip of your middle finger, then rub in with other finger tips then start from your nose and blend out to your cheeks. Keep on putting a pea sized amount and apply all over your face with your fingers.

2. Wash your hands, and get your foundation and foundation brush ready. Apply a pea sized amount on your index finger, and apply from your nose in streaks (lines) and blend in a circular motion with your foundation brush. When applied evenly, pat with your hands. The warmth makes the foundation sink in and last longer. Wash your hands when done.

3. Using your concealer stick pick out the zits that you want to cover and apply a large circle around it (Quarter size) and blend in towards the zit with your ring finger. Blend the outer edges in with the foundation.

4. Using the makeup sponges, rub it in the pressed powder compact and apply to the areas (pat don't rub the powder on) that need a little extra coverage (dark spots, pimples, dark circles) and in areas that tend to get oily throughout the day.

Tips:
Don't forget to apply it below your jaw line, you don't want a foundation line.
Also blend in with your ears.
Take the compact and sponge with you wherever you are going for the day

How To: Get Ride of Acne!

How To: Get Rid of Acne

1. Find out the prominent places where you break out. Is it your forehead, your chin, your nose, underneath your eyes or is it all over the place?
2. Is the cleanser you have working, or is your acne still there? If your acne is still there, try something with more Benzoyl Peroxide or something that will powerfully clear breakouts.
3. Sometimes, over washing can cause your glands to overproduce oil, which means it traps all the makeup, dirt and grime from several days and draws it into your pores. Oil is like a magnet! Try washing once or twice a day, for instance use a gentle cleanser in the morning to exfoliate your skin, and a powerful one in the nighttime. Try getting the same brand of cleanser so your not mixing products.
4. Dab some Toothpaste on the pimples and leave for 10-15 minutes. Pop a pimple and wet a Q-tip with alcohol and scrub it all over the pimple. Or for instant redness reducing, rub and ice cube around your face for invisible pores and reduced redness.

Helpful Tips for not Getting Pimples:

~Stay away from oily or sugary foods and beverages. Don'tsive completely cut it out, just cut it down.
~Drink plenty of water to flush toxins out of your body and to hydrate your skin. Gatorade helps too!
~Don't layer makeup on top of it. I know it's hard to go to school with an inflamed zit, but just one layer of concealer will do. Not layers of foundation, concealer and powder.
~ Exercise, the sweat will flush any unwanted toxins out, just remember to drink lots of water and wash your face afterwards.
