Quick Look: Fluffy Lashes

Apr 18, 11

Even though I’ve used some bright colours here, the real focus is on the lashes. I knew I wanted a dramatic lash to go with these shadows, but I didn’t want anything too heavy. I was planning on tossing out these lashes, since they were looking pretty rough – but I figured I might get one more wear out of them....

Re-Creation: Viva Glam Gaga 2

Posted by Tamara in celebrity, look series

This was inspired by the promotional image for the Viva Glam Gaga 2 campaign. MAC released a face chart that details what was used, and I decided to give it a try. The look translates very well and I feel that it’s very easy to dial it up or down depending on your tastes. I also got a lovely reminder of how gorgeous...

This is one of those looks where I wanted something polished, but without being too dramatic or heavy handed. Expensive Pink is such a great colour, and that golden peachy pink works so well for this type of look. I did have a bit of fun with the liner though, but that aside; everything was kept very soft and well blended. Do...

Valentine’s Look: Classic

Posted by Tamara in looks, suggestion

This is the third of a few looks that I wanted to showcase as options for Valentine’s Day makeup. For those preferring something a bit more classic, this can work a few different ways. I kept the eyes pretty neutral, though I opted for some shimmer on the lid. I think a matte eye would be fabulous too, for a more retro styling. ...
