Makeup 4: Blue
It seems a lot of tutorials have been pretty much on a natural side so I've decied to start going in a brighter direction with blue!!
Blue is SUCH a summer color, and with summer here it seems even more apporiate to be wearing it.
Normally, darker toned people will be more ept to go for darker blues, but being girls that aren't afriad, lets go for some lighter shades! Here is the colors we will work with:
For the eyes, I'm going to use a slightly darker model. I thought since it's summer, we're probably all out in the sun getting a little tan!
for the lip and cheek, lets keep it simply:
don't fret and have fun^^

Makeup 3: brown
So today I'm going to take a gal/gyaru mag scan and change it a bit so that girls of color can actually use it.
Here is the scan:
Pretty right? Unfortuantly, this doesn't help us if your skin is darker then any of these shades. So I adujusted the color pallet a little to match a deeper ton.
Here's the new and improved pallet fore the eyes:
Here is how it looks on the eyes:
This one requires a lot of blending. It may take some time so be patient!
for the blush I used a brighter pink this time to match the eyes:
The lips are in a more reddish brown to complete the eyes without drawing away from them. Use a sheer lip gloss to top it off
Have fun!

Makeup 2: Pink and grey
For this day, my outfit consisted of pink, gray, and black. This is how I did my makeup:
Now for this one, my colors were a bit more subtle. I simply lined the eyes with a light grey, and filled the rest with a dark pink. here were my colors:
Easy. Heres what the eye looks like:
And then I did a simple lip and cheek in simply dusty pink and nude colors. Like this:
Over all simple^^. Enjoy!

10 things every gal/lolita needs in their makeup bag right NOW!!
Hello cupcakes :) today I just wanted to share a list of the makeup secreats Ive known about for a while. I was born on the stage, and modeled when I was very young, so needless to say I grew up around a lot of makeup. While theatrical makeup can be a bit extream, here are some things from the stage that work for your everyday look. Enjoy!
1. Hemorrhoid Cream-
Okay so the secret is out! Hemorrhoid cream, a topical cream originally intended to ease the pain of hemorrhoids( Google it), is a must have for anybody whose every stayed up for more then and hour playing Super Smash Brawl (me!!) The cream gently tightens the skin around the eyes, getting rid of puffiness,dark circles, and wrinkles and can help you take on a more porcelain doll like look of overall smoothness.
2. Ice/Cold Water- Ok I know what your thinking, you can't put this is your makeup bag. But its still important. Washing your face with cold water, gives your skin an overall polish, locks in oil, and keeps the skin tight. So do it!!
3. Rubbing alcohol- Like most black people, I tend to use a lot of products in my hair, especially when I straighten it.Rubbing alcohol is strong astringent that can remove some of the toughest grease from the skin. BE WARNED! DO NOT USE THIS AS A DAILY ASTRINGENT! It is too strong. Rather, use this once a month or around certain times of the year ( that special day of the month for example) when simply washing your face wont do it.
4.Pond's Makeup Removal Cream- Anyone with a grandmother or mother or female in their life will tell you how this is a must. It's like your rite of passage into womanhood. But did you know you can use this for other things too? If the nights aren't to hot, apply an even coat to your legs and wear socks or stockings to bed. The next morning, wash as normal. It will make your legs super soft. You can also mix this with salt and sugar to make a nice scrub. Check here :http://weexsistsomewhere.blogspot.com/ for more info.
5. eyes-
take this on a piece of paper. Color the back ground your shade. You can use it to test color combonations of your eye makeup before you put it on your face!
6. Red stick- A stick of red lipstick is a must for any fashion foward girl. Make sure to pick a color that matches you.
7. Lip liner- not call anyone out but
'Nuff said. Lip liner can give you a smooth, doll look IF DONE PROPERLY. Instead of deep blacks, use a light brown or gold, a color closer-but slightly darker - to your shade. Make a moderate line around the lips and blend the liner with the foundation on the outside of the mouth to give a smooth, Barbie like look to your lips. Then add your desired lip makeup.
8. lip mopsterizer- prepare your lips before adding anything to them to keep them soft.
9.Paper towels- use them to remove excess makeup with out smudging or sticking
10. A mini calendar- Remember to note the day you bought your makeup and watch how long you have. Remember to throw it out after three at the most 6 months.
