Simple Night Out Makeup Tutorial

I wanted to try out a sleek, simple look that would be perfect for a night out with your favorite people. I hope you enjoy this look!



Coming soon: Nail Polish Mini Haul! (Founds some super good deals on O.P.I and China Glaze polishes at the beauty supply store I go to, so I couldn't pass it up!)

Until next time :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARIE!!!!!!!!!!!

So its my best friend Marie's birthday today, and she  let me do her hair and makeup for her big bash!

She wanted a fun, retro but not too crazy look, so I went with red shadow to match her dress over the black, winged liner.

AND! I had some lovely bejeweled fake lashes for her to wear : )

Her hair is always an adventure.  Its LONG and super super thick, so I had to divide it all in a few pony's then curled and wrapped them around to create a lot of messy curls.

And I had to give her a little curl in the bangs!

Sort of a barbarella-esque look, and she rocked it!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOME SLICE!!!!!!!!!!

Gina let me do her hair and makeup again :)

Once again, the lovely Gina! She let me do her hair and makeup for a party she was going to after class!

 I cut her hair too.  Before she had an asymmetrical bob, where one side of her hair was down to her chin and the other was cut above her ear.  She was sick of it so she let me even it up for her :) I just cut the front side of her hair at a diagonal to match the other side and did a uniform cut for the rest of her hair.  Looks great on her!

 She went with purples on her eyes, and I used some white shimmer shadow to highlight her cheekbones/bridge of her nose. 

Success!

A few weeks ago in class, a friend of mine let me try out some finger waves in her hair.  It was pretty exciting because I'd only ever done them on mannequines and never on a live person.  I was extremely pleased with how they turned out!  Her hair was the perfect texture; the only problem was finding a product that would hold the wave.  I ended up using Hardwear by Redken and for the most part it worked really well.  It held great and her hair dried very fast under the hooded dryer.  The only downside was how flaky it got after combing the waves out, so I finished off the style with some oil spray from Design Essentials.  I pincurled the hair that was left past the waves and I love the stacked look it gave due to how her hair was cut.  All in all I think it was a success! 

 She also let me do her makeup which was an ordeal in itself.  She wanted the classic cat eye look to go with her hair and it ended up taking me about 3 tries for her left eye and probably 4 or 5 for her right.  I have the worst time matching the lines on both eyes.  I used a pen tip liquid eyeliner and I just couldn't get the wings to match or the thickness of the line on her eyelids to look right.  I finally got it though and finished her off with some shimmery white eyeshadow, some cheek color and my favorite cherry red lip gloss!

Thank you Gina for being a trooper!
