Make-up: I Got the Blues

I wish this picture wasn't blurry, but I love to add random colors on my eyes that have no connection with my I'm wearing. Don't wanna be too matchy-matchy ;-). But as usual this is produced using Urban Decay. These are the 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils. The blue color is called Radium which is applied across my top lid and around the inner corner of my eye. Also on the top lid, I added a purple called Ransom, which is applied  from the middle of my top lid to a little wing on the outer corner. On the bottom, Perversion, which is their new super black color, which I blended with the blue on the bottom.

Make-up: Solid Gold

Urban Decay! Need i say more! They make the best, most vibrant colors that STAY. For this design, I used  the color palette shadows.The yellow color is called Honey, which I applied with a thin, asymmetrical brush from the inside corner of my eye to the outer part with a wing. Start off with a thin line and widen out  The green is called Graffiti and I applied it only from the middle of my top lid to the end of the yellow wing. Smudge the green into the yellow so there is a gradual addition of the green. On the bottom lid and wing, I used Tokidoki Perfetto Eyeliner.

Hair: Hair Bow

The Hair Bow! This was inspired by Bebexo on youtube. When I first decided I wanted to try new things with my hair, I turned to Seventeen Magazine and youtube. It is so hard to find fun styles for adults that aren't just a new hair cut, so Bebexo has the BEST and most creative styles I've ever seen and they work on ALL types of hair. This style is produced by simply putting your hair into an upside down "pull-through" bun, so about a 1 inch tail of the bun is on top of your head. Once you have the bun, pull it apart into 2 sections to create the loops of the bow. Bobby pin the loops down and pin the tail down over the middle of the bow to create the "bridge" of the bow. Pin the tail tightly behind your scrunchy to keep the loops separate. And there you go!

Hair: Twisties

Twists are the go to hair edit when you're having a bad hair day. They tame your hair, while remaining clean and proper. I always add flowers to my hair...its my signature. But this style consists of two twists framing my head into a large side bun in the back so you don't look bold.
