I have had this pair of long under wear I stole from my mom forever ago, and about a year ago I started wearing them as leggings, they are teal and awesome, they aren't too heavy for summer but are awesome for wearing skirts and dresses in winter :) They are from, here!
I'm Starting a series of sorts, kinda like the famous "Wearable Wednesday, Fierce Friday" by Leesha "Xsparkage". So not to copy the lovely Leesha I am doing something similar, I will be doing looks from MAC face charts, One wearable one a week, one not so wearable one a week. Some of the face charts will be older and not available on the MAC site anymore, (once they stop the collection they remove the charts) but I will be making a video explaining how to find the current face charts on the site.
So for the first one I decided to keep it simple, smoky eyes are fun, so I did the look "Tarnish" from the Dr Fallicier (wow spelled it right on the first try!) portion of the venomous villains collection.
:)
Pretty cool eh?
Video?
So go check out the video, and subscribe so you can see two face charts a week!
(Also any requests, suggestions please send me!) :)
I found this ad for Armani Glasses, and wanted to do the look as soon as I saw it, well after I concealed my brows for a video I was trying to figure out what to do next, so I went for this, it took literally 7 products!! :)
This is the first installment of the "creation of a creature" collection.
So yesterday Sedrie was born, the ghost of a french artist, who's story I expect to expand in the future, right now she haunts a home in Canada, living with a young violin player, who of course has no idea she's living with him.

Muah! :)
There are many many videos and articles explaining how to cover your brows realistically. I first spotted this technique in "Making Faces" by Kevyn Aucoin, it's been one of the hardest techniques to get good at, I've tried the glue stick method I've seen on youtube, and it never worked as well as I wanted, I've tried lash glue and flesh latex, and none worked then I got the idea to use toilet paper to create scars and burns from MsKTrues makeup artist, and thought, besides using it to do that I could use it to cover brows!!! So this it is, in video form, I only used a few items, all of which you should have, if not they don't cost much and are easy to find. :)
OH! It's also very simple to remove, just use a oil based make up remover (I like baby oil, or olive oil) on a rag and massage it back and forth until the glue comes off, it doesn't hurt, just be gentle and it should only take a minute. DO NOT try to peel the glue and toilet paper off, it will hurt!!!
Things you will need: (and probably already have)
Toilet Paper (I HOPE you have this!)
Elmers Glue Stick (I like the purple kind because you can tell when it's dry, these cost about $2 for a 3 pack)
Artists Spatula (a cake spatula or butter knife works just fine too just make sure it isn't sharp)
White Face Paint (Kryolan. Mehron, Ben Nye, or any white face paint from the costume store)
Face Powder (Baby powder, powder foundation, blotting powder)
Concealer or Cream Color in your skin color (Matte is the best. Paint Pots and MAC Paints, Lo'Real HIP Paints, Dream matte mousse concealer)
Foundation in your skin color (Creams and liquids work best)
Foundation and concealer do not BOTH have to be used, one or the other is fine. If you have very light brows white face paint is not needed.
All pictures taken by me.
So I hoped this helped anyone looking to cover their eyebrows. (Halloween, theater, drag, costume, whatever!) :)
TADA! New look! I got this sample of Neo-Orange pigment at the MAC counter and couldn't wait to try it out.
I had been wanting to do a bird inspired look because I am planning on being a bird for a photo shoot, this is a a toned done version of that bird. It's inspired by a phoenix/exotic bird mix, I don't really like birds when they are real, or alive........... So my knowledge is of birds is limited but I know some about them, anyway this is just my interpretation. Also the head band was inspired by these on Etsy: http://www.etsy.com/listing/38313003/vintage-inspired-black-feather-headband
Paid For everything, except pigment sample which I received for free. This does not change my opinion on any of these products.
All pictures belong to me.

My friend requested I do a video about mascara,so I did!!!
So mascara. It is so awesome, yet so hard to find the right one, a lot like foundation, mascara really does different things depending on who you are, very few people have the PERFECT mascara, but nonetheless, not finding a perfect mascara right away isn't always as big of a deal because most mascaras are fairly inexpensive. A little history: The first mascara was made for Maybelline (which ironically make some of my LEAST favorite mascaras) anyway they started out in cake formula (some brands still sell this) and then Max Factor later invented the popular tube form of mascara.
Mascara is one of the most popular tools for daily makeup, some people I know wear nothing BUT mascara, it does everything from gently open your eyes for a natural look, to really dramatize and define a look.
Now as fun as mascara is make sure to toss it after 6 months, or anytime before that if it dries out, smells funny, gets lumps in it, or changes color.
So um.... yeah that's about all about mascara, look below the video for some of my favorite mascaras!!!
Favorites:
Wet 'N Wild Mega Lash Waterproof ($1.99)*
Fresh Firebird Mascara ($26.00 Full size $10.00 For baby set w/supernova) (Sephora)
Rimmel Sexy Curves Waterproof ($6.00-8.00)*
Lo'real Telescopic Explosion ($7.00-12.00) *
All Products marked with * are drug store and vary in price even from the price ranges mentioned
All products mentioned I have used and bought with my own money, all pictures were taken by me.
Thanks for watching!!!!
(And thank you Kelly for the request!! <3 you!!)
I was TOTALLY inspired by Utada Hikaru's song "Apple And Cinnamon" =D
Here ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QI67McuGm-I&feature=related
So yeah I wanted to do something kinda fall-ish (I know it's still summer) but the truth is I don't believe in the whole, "this is a summer color, this is a fall color bla bla bla" In fact I usually wear bright colors in the winter and get lots of compliments so don't be afraid to rock a look that "isn't in season" because you get to be the one that decides what looks good on you if you think red is the most awesome color on you, wear it, even if the color this season is based around blue. That's right, I'm telling you to rebel!!! Psst... Trust me it's fun!
so enjoy this look inspired by Utada and inspired be being whatever you want to be. (Wow that was cheesy) hahaha

So foundation..... oh yes, one of those makeup items we search for, and can never seem to find the right color, or coverage, or formula. Hopefully this video will help you peoples see the light at the end of the tunnel in your foundation search, and spend the least amount of time and money along the way.
=)
Some favorites:
Dry Skin:
Almay Smart Shade Makeup
Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse (The shades of this don't go light enough for people with very light skin and they don't carry many cool toned shades)
Cover Girl Aqua Smooth Cream Foundation.
Combination Skin:
Any of the dry skin out oily skin ones, or a combination of them.
OR google for the best foundations for combination skin, (I don't have combo skin or know many people with it so I can't point you towards the PERFECT foundation. My best advice is to use a combo of different formula foundations over a good primer) (Primer all over, moisturizing foundation on the dry areas and oil free foundation on the oily areas)
Oily Skin:
(Both are oil free)
Maybelline Pure Makeup
Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation (this only comes in a few shades)
Primers:
E.L.F Mineral Face Primer
Rimmel Fix and Perfect ( good for uneven skin tones)
All opinions are my own, I have paid for all products mentioned.
Thanks for reading peoples and I'll talk to you later!!!

Peace and love and stuff.
