Jason Wu Beauty Look

This is a short tutotial on how I tried to recreate this Jason Wu Spring 2014 beauty look, it's very wearable and great for day or night. For this look remember that the top half of your eyelid will be bare all the color is at the bottom. Try to keep the rest of your makeup minimal because this is a bold eye look and you want all the attention up there. 


Jason Wu Spring 2014 beauty look.


HERE WE GO

1. My blank canvas, please don't be scared, it gets better I promise.
Let's start with moisturizing the eye area then follow with a lid primer.


                                           


3. Sweep brown eyeshadow only up to the middle of your eyelid, slightly down toward the outer corner.  You probably have noticed my dark circles, who am I kidding? you so did.
 I don't apply concealer until I'm finished.

                                          

4. Use gold shimmery eyeshadow and sweep just in the middle   


                                          


                                          

5. Line your eyelash line with black liquid eyeliner. 

                                         

 6. Add mascara, then using a wet cotton swab clean all the under eye area, moisturize and now you can apply concealer. 

                                        

     

7. All done, now where do I go? The other moms at the park appreciated my look :)

Now all there is left to choose is my fantasy wedding gown.

For a loved one


Love is all around us, let's just embrace it, and whether you have a special someone in your life or not, it doens't matter beacuse I'm sure there are lots of people who love you in their own special way, like your best friend who is there to prevent you from calling your creepy ex, or your mom who will always point out all your boyfriend's flaws in case you didn't see it (more like don't want to see it), or your coworker who is setting you up with all these amazing guys that you would never ever even kiss.
Surprise them with something from your heart!

Denim Denim



We love our denim, it's so pratical and comfortable that for many of us it has become our uniform, but why do we restrict denim to just jeans? 
This Spring denim has transformed itself into blouses, dresses, jumpers, and anything you can imagine; and the best combination was denim on denim.
Here some picks from SPRING RTW 2013 


CHANEL


DKNY


ASHISH


We see it in the runway and the celebrities take it to the streets, take some cues from Rihanna, she shows us how easy it is to wear denim on denim, showing off some skin and wearing fitted pieces to keep it sexy and the cherry on top pointe heels.
