Customized Makeup Palettes

A few days ago I went to the buy a few medicine boxes which I planned to use in organizing my makeups. I don't like lunging along bulk, so I try to make things simple and as compact as possible. I got several stick foundations that has been occupying a lot of space so I decided to depot everything into these travel friendly space saving plastic cases.

You don't really need expensive makeup palettes for your cream and stick products these do just fine, try looking for medicine boxes that doesn't have "days of the week" labels, but if you don't mind the labels then go for it. each box cost less than a dollar! (sewing boxes can be used too.)

How to Draw Natural Looking Eyebrows (using eyebrow cake)

Different brow shapes makes ones facial structure look different. However it is always safe to stick to your natural brow shape. I prefer wearing my brow naturally, and to achieve that I use a brow cake instead of pencils. Pencils have a tendency to be too harsh looking unless you have a light hand or if you buff the hell out of it. I also find that using a dark chocolate brown, brow black or a taupe color works best than pure black. Unless you have blonde hair to match I also don't like pure browns for eyebrows cause they tend to come out reddish.

This tutorial's aim basically is just to accentuate your natural brows just making it more defined and giving it a polished look for everyday.

1. Groom brows either professionally or not. It's better to go pro if you don't know how to do it yourself. I'd suggest threading, because it is more accurate than waxing and it last longer than razor cutting. Afterwards, it's quite easy to maintain by yourself by plucking away the regrowth. If you decide to go for the pro do not be shy about telling the one doing your brows what you want and what you don't want BEFORE they start working, after all you're the one who's wearing your brow not them.

• when doing yourself avoid taking too much off your brows, and avoid making it too thin because this will make you look old.
• as a guide draw an imaginary line from your nostrils to your tear duct anything that goes beyond the line you can take off. always remember brows are sisters not conjoined twins.
• draw an imaginary line from the outer tip of your nostrils to outer part of your eyes to give you an idea as to where your brow should end.
• as for your arc i suggest you follow your natural arc.as not to look like a drag queen.

Purple Smokey Eyes

Tired of the traditional smokey eyes? Why not try adding a little color to spruce it up! I made this post as a contest entry, and I'm proud to say this entry won the competition. The prize was suppose to be a set of Badger brushes but didn't receive it (wonder what happened?), Anyway at least I had fun creating this look and making a tutorial for this. The smokey eyes look gives the eyes emphasis but with the blend of purple it makes the eyes appear dreamy, perfect for a night of seduction *wink wink* :cP.
