Ten Looks from the Maybelline Brights Palette Youtube video Part 1

Again, just in case you want to see a more step by step tutorial on how I achieved the first five looks. Yes I know I put out the Part 2 first, but that's because quad 1 wanted to be difficult. I had to film it three different times. 

Anyway, At the bottom are the links to the video exact times. (They will take you to YouTube.)

10 Looks Using the Maybelline Brights Palette Part 1

So, I've kind of got an idea for something new. I want to take time and do different looks from different palettes to see how versatile they are. Personally, I feel like I see Youtube that only shows me one look, or swatches. I have no clue what to do with them. I figured if I'm like that then other people probably are too. 
I had the Brights Palette already and decided to start with this one. 
You get twelve colors. Some are pigmented, others require more building up. It's a pretty decent palette and fairly versatile.

So. Here we go.
So, the palette comes with suggestions on the back to give you different ideas of how to use it. I decided to start there. 
So here you go. 
Quad 1


Start with the Brown a little bit above the crease to act as a transition shade. I used a fluffy blending brush to do this step. Next, take a angled fluffy blending brush pick up the black and then blend it out on the "Outer V" Pick up the dark purple and put it over the black blending it out as much as possible. Take the light purple and pack that on to the lid. I went back and added more color to marry the colors. 
I put the white on the brow bone and the gold on the inner corner. Apply the black liquid liner. Under the eye put down the black with the purple over it, blending it out. Mascara. Done. 

Quad 2

This one is fairly simple too. Taupe color in the crease and blend that with a fluffy blending brush. Blend that down into the "Outer V". Pack the green on the lid with a lid brush. Take a stiff angled brush and put the dark blue on the outer v lightly. I went back into the taupe and blended out the blue a little bit in the crease. 
White on the brow and Cream in the inner corner.
Take the dark blue on a liner brush and underline the eye with it. Put on the black eyeliner and let it dry. Take the dark blue and put it on top of the liner. Mascara. Done.
Quad 3


Take a fluffy brush in the brown and apply it in the crease. Take an angled fluffy brush with the Magenta and apply it to the "Outer V". From there, pack the blue on the lid. White on the brow bone and gold on the inner corner. Under the eye put the Magenta down and then the brown. 
Black liner. 
Mascara. Done. 

Purple and Green

Put Dark Purple on the crease and the "Outer V" with an angled fluffy brush. Take the light green and place it on the lid. Take the purple again with a fluffy blending brush and put it over the line between the purple and the green. Take black on stiff angled brush or liner brush. Put purple over the black. White in the inner corner and brow bone. Liner. 
Mascara. Done. 





Purple Anytime


Take a fluffy brush in the brown(4) and place it slightly above the crease to be the transition shade. In the crease and outer v use the dark purple (1) with a angled fluffy brush.  Light Purple on the lid. (2). Under the eye Magenta. (3). Black liner. Mascara and done. 

So to keep this from being ridiculously long. I'm only going to put the first five in this post. I'll put the second half on another post.

New Year's Rant

New Year's Rant 





So, I went back and saw that I did a New Year's Rant last year and decided that I would try to make it a tradition. 
Last year, I was kind of down. I mean seriously, it was a dark time. Not that anything bad had happened, but I've found over the years that November to February is always hard for me. My family has experienced a lot of loss over the years during those months.  
This year, I'm still a little down, but it's all right. I know what it is. As I look back over this year, I'm going to say all the traditional things. It was happy, sad, and hard. However, I am not where I was last year. I've accomplished some of the things I set out to do. 

I don't work in a call center any more; granted, I'm not in my dream job, but I've moved forward in life. I've lived out of my parents house for a year now, and I'm not dead. I've met little goals I've set for myself this year. I sent work out to publication. I went to California and stood in the Pacific, so now I can say I have been coast to coast. I've updated the blog fairly regularly the last half of the year. 
I think that this year, while it may not be the best year ever, it won't be bad. 

Hopefully, I'll have my New Year's Eve Look up soon. If not, here's a little preview.


GLITTER EYES!
