How To: Streak of Color

There were so many pictures from Ohio, I haven't had the chance to go through them all, but trust, they're on their way!

We all get tired & bored of the same everyday make-up, (me included) so here's a quick & simple way to add a pop of color to your everyday look:

What you'll need:
+ your basic make-up kit (concealer, powder, etc.)
+ brown & black shadows
+ a bright eyeshadow (e.g. teal, purple, etc.)
+ neutral blush (using MAC's Coppertone)

+ start with a clean slate (concealer, eyebrows, etc.)
+ apply brown shadow from the lashline up to your crease & blend
+ apply black shadow to the outer corners (in a v-shape) & blend
+ curl lashes, line eyes & apply mascara
+ line lower lashline with liquid liner (3/4 of the entire eye)
+ using a thin, angled brush, apply a high-pigmented teal shadow (or any color of your choice) over the liquid liner on your lower lashes, as it helps retain the color throughout the day
+ apply mascara on lower lashes
+ apply a neutral blush (since we don't want our cheeks to compete with our eyes)
+ keep lips natural as well

Update: As you can probably tell, things have been a bit busier on my end, but I still love blogging...so to remain somewhat consistent, I'll probably stick to posting 2-3 times a week (versus daily). Sowwy weaders...I wuv you.
