Warm Smokey Eye




Hey everyone! This is another makeup tutorial for my favourite smokey eye. I wore this out to dinner with my boyfriend the other night. Its very warmed toned with coppers & oranges. Warm colours look great on me because my hair colour is warm & my all over colouring is "winter", which is cool based.

Vainglorious!




Hey everyone! I know its been so long since a makeup post but I've just been so busy. Life has pretty much gotten ahead of me & I'm just trying to deal with things one day at a time, but its getting really hard. I hope everyone had a great xmas, new years & whatever holiday you celebrate! This look was inspired by an Elizabeth Arden eyeshadow duo that I purchased a couple months ago but forgot about. The colours & pigmentation are beautiful. Many people perceive Elizabeth Arden as an "old lady's brand", which is true in some cases as it has very loyal users who are generally older since their anti-aging skincare is A-mazing but their makeup is definitely worth checking out. I have two lipsticks from them which are just awesome, reviews soon! Enjoy this look & be sure to check out my youtube tutorial! It's not the greatest but I'm just starting to film & need to perfect quite a few things :)
