In Search Of. . . Beauty: Transformation Tuesday


Originally, I was going to do a transformation into a Cheshire Cat, but I think that one will be better when I have a tripod. Which is why I'm going to apologize for the quality of some these pictures. I didn't take all of them with my big camera. 
Most of them I took with my phone.




I got the idea from Desi Perkins. I don't specifically follow her on YouTube, but every once in a while I catch one of her videos. I obviously don't have all the shamancy stuff, but I think it came out pretty similar. 

Start with a plain face.Like the ugly one in the picture. I used the Maybeline Fit Me Matte pore less in color 112. I put Covergirl Ready Set Gorgeous concealer in fair. 

From there I used my Elf Golden Bronzer contour shimmer kit thing and then set my make up with my Rimmel pressed powder in color sandstorm. I used a dark coral Lancome blush that I don't have the name of because it's older than the hills. 
Now we get to the intense part 
EYE SHADOWS!
Here's my blank eye
I didn't, but if your'e going out for a long time, use a eye shadow primer. 
To start out you use a concealer or highlighter under the brow bone. 
 If that looks to stark, just blend it out with either a brush or your finger. (I just used my finger.)
Next, you take a highlight color just to make it easier to transition and blend right there. 
Using my giant Ulta thing I used the color nude and a fluffy brush.

Taking the fluffy brush run that along the brow bone over the concealer and down towards the crease.

Next take a transition shade. Normally, these should should be a brown color. I just helps the make up blend in general. 
I used color rose dusk on a fluffy brush. 



Next I went in with a pointed brush. She used a dark green. I used the color Glamazon.

I wish I had a better picture of this. I put it in the crease and did a v-shape on the outer corner of the eye. I pulled it out towards the temple. Once that was applied, I did an orange color on a fluffy brush to blend it out. 


Now, I went back to the lid and did a lighter green on the outer corner and inner corner leaving the center blank. 


After that I went in with my Maybeline Brights pallet and used the gold color. I put it on the center of the lid and then on the inner corner to brighten the eye. 

Then I took a black (holy cow this is long) and put it in the crease. 





I took an angle brush with the same black and lined my under eye, and then winged it out from the corner and filled it in like an actual liner. 

After that, I swept the orange under the eye. Cleaned up the edges with some concealer and applied some mascara. 
Then I was done. 


I finished the look with the Covergirl guavalicious.



 Finally done. That's the transformation process. I hope you guys like it.

In Search Of. . . Adventure: Weekend Highlights

In Search Of. . . Adventure: Weekend Highlights

Panorama from the Santa Monica Pier, looking at the water back to the city.
I'm just going to say, ignore my face in most of these pictures.

The end of Route 66.
My hair wasn't prepared for the humidity. It really wasn't. 
I thought the Ferris Wheel lights were really cool. It was funny. I made my dad take the picture, and he did it from his phone. This man and his wife were walking behind him. The guy saw what he was doing and went and made his wife take a picture there too.  



This the end of the pier and an actually well-lit spot. All the other places we tried this picture, I was silhouette, which was cool, but not what I wanted.
Tyra said it, FIND THE LIGHT!


A random house in the shmancy side of town. I also saw my first Tesla car.


The CBS Building,

I don't know what this building is, but it's cool, and I thought the red lights kind of added some more interest to the thing.



So, the original highlight of this weekend was supposed to be meeting Ransom Riggs, and seeing him in person. And just being that cool Well, I'm an idiot. I some how managed to get my weekends wrong. Ransom Riggs would have been 10/3. I went 10/9.
I don't know how I did it, but it's ok.

I went to the grand opening of the world first NYX cosmetics store instead. 


I went there to see Chrisspy. Apparently, I should have gotten there before the mall opened because it was crazy to see all the girls waiting to meet her.


Desi Perkins was also there, so I saw them both from far away, because lines. I don't like lines unless it's waiting for food or a roller coaster. Even, then I don't like them. If you cant tell, and you probably can't, Desi is the girl in white in the first picture and that's the lovely Chrisspy next to her. Which, by the way after watching a lot of her videos, has lost weight and looks super great.
 I do wish I could have gotten a closer picture, but oh well.



After that it was down the Pacific Coast Highway, which I tell you is a never again. Not becauese of the Highway, but because of the drive. Soo long to come down to San Deigo. My dad and I had a hard time watching the Bama game. (Bama won, by the way. ROLL TIDE!)

We stopped there and got in the water again. 






So that's all folks. Those are my weekend Highlights.


The play list will be up later today. 

As always,
