Lately I've been stuck in the rut with creative colours and looks and this palette have been my ride or die palette this past month.

Along with the palette, I have been loving my good old MAC brushes. although there are more far cheaper,same quality brands out there, I still end up using these a lot. I must say they have been used and abused and still pretty good!

what are your essentials?

How to: Winged Eyeliner Look/Cat Eye

Hello superfoxies!

  When doing an cat eye /winged liner look, its easier if you practice with GEL eyeliner and an angled brush. Once youve mastered, then we'll move on to liquid liner. (i used MAC's fluid line and eco tool's angled brush)

First line your eyes just like how you normally do. As you can see here, the before and after look on each eye:P

then from the bottom, follow the natural curve and at the end, use it as your guide to angle up your brush. this will help you to have even lines for both eyes. its up to you how high you want it to be, i did mine just medium sized wings.

then connect  and fill in!!

aaaand you're all set!

also, play it up and be different! i added purple too. simply outline the black :)

Long-lasting Red lips

What you need:

(lipscrub, choice of lip balm, lip pencil, lippie, concealer, brush and powered)

Prep (exfoliate +moisturize) Start off with a clean fresh base so your lipstick will go on smoothly. Least thing you want is to have dry chapped red lips.

take your time. Trust me, it pays off (use lip liner and fill in) this creates a base/foundation not only for long lasting color but it also amplifies and prevents your lipstick from "bleeding".

lipstick time! then blot on tissue then set with powder to stay on for at least 6 hours. (yes, even if you eat and drink)

then CORRECT. smooth things out just to give that flawless look!

**** go easy on shine. you dont want to look like a sloppy mess. so if you do want shine, add a little bit only at the center of your lippies :)

xo,

Denise
