makeup monday // highlight + contour

highlight + contour

I’m so obsessed with highlighting + contouring…

It’s all about enhancing your best features.  I mean who wouldn’t like the appearance of higher cheekbones, a slimmer nose, and light catching certain features of your face in the right possible way.  In other words, “skinny face”.  There are hundreds of tutorials out there to show you how to contour and there are also so many products to achieve this look. I definitely do have my favorites and will share with you in a future makeup monday blog post. This week I created a highlight + contour map for you so you get the idea of where features should pop and where they should recede.  Blending is very important. A beauty blender or a blender brush is definitely necessary to make sure there are no harsh lines.

rainbow filter photography

Hello. project 2015 continues and we have reached wk. 014. project 2015 showcases a different photo filter/style weekly. This week is all about unicorns and rainbows. Camera 360 is the app I used this week.  I chose the filter rainbow, which obviously gave a rainbow look to all the photos! The highlights for this week – Seattle Sounders won, a birthday party, going for what you want and not waiting for things to happen, and the Easter bunny came. Here is a glimpse of my week…

Hello! My #instalove for this week is Paper Fashion {@paperfashion}.  This Instagram is amazing – it is all about paper meets Fashion. New York artist Katie Rodgers shares her amazing watercolors to her audience. I so wish I could draw/paint like her. Her work has such a graceful, elegant and dainty quality. I’m obsessed. One of Instagram post was so amazing – she created female fashion silhouettes out of pancakes. Seriously! #papermeetsfashion

makeup monday // big beautiful eyes

Big Beautiful Eyes by Benefit

My new beauty obsession for the week is this wonderful palette called Big Beautiful Eyes by Benefit Cosmetics. It’s the perfect palette for date night to create that soft eye contour.  I love it so much!  It comes complete with eye contouring and eye concealing and works for all eye colors. This little kit is all  you need to line, define, and contour like a pro. It’s a perfect size to slip into your clutch to retouch for date night or a girl’s night out! The palette includes the following color and tools – Boi-ing concealer, a soft shimmer shade of Alabaster Pink (for the base),  a shimmer Cocoa eyeshadow (for a soft contour), a rich Chocolate eyeshadow (for lining and defining).  #makeuplove. Here is a glimpse of the palette…

Hello. project 2015 continues and we have reached wk. 012. project 2015 showcases a different photo filter/style weekly. See last week’s post here.  Everyone knows about the popular app VSCO. The app allows users to transform bland photos into gallery-worthy artistic images. This week I was a little distracted and lost focus and didn’t take too many photos. For the photos that I did take, I used VSCO HB2 filter and love it.  Here is a glimpse of my Saturday…

MAC for Cinderella

I recently saw the 2015 version of Cinderella with my little friend {Olivia} and adored the movie. Who doesn’t like Cinderella?  The most iconic Disney princess of all inspired the new limited edition MAC cosmetics collection.  What can I say about this palette? The palette is the most sparkliest, dreamiest and royal collection of all time. Here is a glimpse…
