Foundation/Everyday Makeup

Before

After

This is pretty much my everyday makeup I like to keep it simple. I've been using the maybelline superstay 24 hour foundation and I must say I'm loving it so far. Im sure it doesn't last 24 hours but it does last for a good while and the coverage is medium and you can build it up to full coverage. It is oil-free that is good for me because i do have oily combination skin. Very easy to blend. Over all this is one of my favorite foundations. its perfect to use for going out. I will probably re-purchase again. :)

Beez In The Trap

Nicki Minaj inspired 'Beez In The Trap' Makeup Look.
Look #1
Look #2

Im not really a fan of Nicki Minaj but I looooove her makeup...always! Usually her makeup isn't too "out there". Her makeup can be colorful but not really dramatic and pretty easy to re-create and fun! So I was checking out Vevo.com and came across 'Beez In The Trap' music video. I had to watch it just to see what makeup look she did this time. I noticed a lot of other makeup artist and makeup gurus already created these looks but I had to do my own version. :)
PRODUCTS USED:
EYES:

Purple and Black Cut Crease

So my husband and I went to his grandparent's 50th anniversary wedding. His grandma wanted all the women to wear purple dresses and the men to wear black tops and pants. The colors inspired me to do this look I thought they were just too pretty. So this is what I came up with. :)
