Reverse Smoky Eye Tutorial

My latest tutorial is now up on Youtube!

This is an eye shape that I have been playing with a lot recently and I really love it. Not only does it look cool, it's super easy and fairly quick.

I've done it in purple:

Colourpop Drift and Fantasy

And also red:

Urban Decay Sonic, Alien, Bondage, Truth

Hellboy Inspired Makeup Tutorial and BeautyBarBaby Matte Attack Liquid Lipsticks

My latest tutorial is up on Youtube:

I did this tutorial with two options for the lips:

This super bright, very blue lip.

Urban Decay LSD and Saffron #25

And this more neutral, toned down look.

BeautyBarBaby Fortune Teller

You can find a full product list for this look in the Youtube tutorial.

I do just want to quickly talk about the BeautyBarBaby Matte Attack Lipstick that I'm wearing for the second lip look. I received this colour, Fortune Teller, and another colour, Poison Apple, for Christmas. I think I've written about my love/hate relationship with matte lipsticks before, but just to refresh: I like how long-lasting they are, but I hate putting them on and having my mouth feel like a shriveled raisin.

The BeautyBarBaby Matte Attacks seem to get the best of both worlds, however. They do last a fairly long time, in the range of 5 to 6 hours, but they don't go on like cement. I can put these on, let them dry, and still move my mouth like a normal human. Also, they don't flake off in disgusting chunks like my LA Splash ones do. I'm very pleased with the formula, and as they have a tonne of colours, I'll definitely be picking up a few more.

And here is a look I did using both the colours, plus some Sugarpill Lumi in the centre.

My First Youtube Makeup Tutorial!

I have been working up to doing this for a while. Last year I made a few abortive attempts at filming. I recorded several tutorials that will never see the light of day, but they helped me figure things out. The lighting is still not perfect, but I've ordered a ring light, so I will try to sort that out for the next one. I hope you like this! If there are any looks you'd really like to see, please let me know. I'm also doing sewing things, because I love sewing, but those aren't blog appropriate, so I won't link those here.

Anyway, I know I'm repeating myself, but I do hope you like it. There will be more to come, so please like, comment, and subscribe. Thank you and I hope you all had a lovely holiday.
