🔥 Dick Dastardly Eyeshadow Look
On my makeup Instagram page, I did a couple eyeshadow pictures that were inspired by famous cartoon characters. This look was inspired by Dick Dastardly from Wacky Races, and if you don't know who that is, you must be a fetus still...

Most Expensive Makeup Palettes
Us makeup lovers can appreciate a good palette, because they include a great variety of products. Whether it's an eyeshadow palette, contour palette, or a highlighter palette, palettes always feature more than three colors to play around with. And you can mix and match the colors on an eyeshadow palette to come up with tons of unique eye looks. For a contour palette, everything we need to contour comes in that one palette, which is so nifty! Even if we do get our hands on one highlighting palette... we need another one. Yes, there are different shades in the palette, but every palette sets a different color scheme. Which means we need all of the different color schemes.

Here's a List of All the Drugstore Brow Products That Suck If You're a Blonde
If you're a blonde on a budget, you probably already know the pain of trying to purchase a product that claims to be "Taupe" or "Blonde," only to discover its orange undertone. By some magical force, the lovely grey-based shade you scraped on the back of your hand has now become a lovely Cheeto-inspired colour when it hits your face.

Morphe x Jaclyn Hill Palette Review
Hey everyone, today I have a review on the Morphe x Jaclyn Hill palette which I bought on Monday from Beauty Bay for ÂŁ37 which is just over ÂŁ1 per eyeshadow as there are 35 colours in this palette. The colours look as if they are made for different eye colours and skin tones which is really nice for a palette.

Lipstick!!
Lipstick and Skin Tone I have so many lipstick tubes at home, in my purse and in my desk drawer at work. Clinique, Estee Lauder and many other brands run a gift with purchase at most department stores. You spend a certain amount of money and you receive a makeup bag filled with different products. Among those is usually a tube of lipstick. The colors are always beautiful. They may not look that great with my skin tone and coloring but the colors are beautiful. I have so many tubes in an array of colors that it looks like an artist palette.

10 Natural Eye Makeup Tutorials
Whether going to work, school, or casually to the mall, some of us want to still wear makeup, but not too much of it. We don't want to show up to class with glitter eye lids or black smokey eyes, unless you want to, I'm not judging. But for those who want to wear minimal makeup, there are natural eye looks that can fulfill your needs of effortless makeup!

Women of Color in the Beauty Industry
When Fenty Beauty dropped in September of 2017 during New York Fashion Week, I recall the buzz on my social media. From the girls with dark chocolate skin, to girls with porcelain skin like myself, they were itching to get their hands on the “Bad Girl’s” complexion products. Walking into any Sephora that month, you’d see darker-skinned girls picking out their shade, grins lighting up their faces, finally seeing their shade in mainstream makeup lines. But why has it taken so long in the 6,000 years cosmetics have been around for women of color to start seeing their shades on the racks?

My Unhealthy Relationship with Makeup (And How I Fixed It)
Let me start by asking, what is makeup? Makeup is a form of art, a way for us to express ourselves. It makes you feel something. It's symbolic in many ways. It symbolizes freedom of expression, no matter what your gender, race, sexuality, age, or religion is. It can be a passion, it can be a hobby and it can be a career. It makes people happy. Sadly, I forgot all that for a while.

How I Got Here and Some Tips for You, Too!
My name is Krystal and I’m 29 years old. Growing up, I had no interest in makeup. My mom used to beg me to at least wear mascara, but I had no desire, LOL. As I got older, I started clubbing and, of course, wore eyeliner or the occasional eyeshadow, which consisted of just rubbing gold eyeshadow on my eyelids. Finally, when I was 18, I believe, I remember one day asking my mom if she would come with me to Walmart. I wanted to buy some products and get into makeup. She was more excited than me I think, haha. I’ll never forget. I bought everything for $85. I had no idea what I was doing, I just knew I was going to learn something; anything. I came home and sat in front of my mirror for hours trying to figure everything out, which was a total fail. I realized I would need a little bit more help so, where was the one place all the MUAs were? MAC Cosmetics, of course. I remember asking one of the employees how to contour and her exact response to me was, “You don’t wanna learn how to contour. Have you ever seen Kim Kardashian in person?” I kinda need to thank her because she made me even more eager to me learn. I refuse to be told no, LOL. A couple years later, my fiancé purchased my very first eye shadow palette that wasn’t from Walmart. It was the Kat Von D Butterfly Skull palette. I have learned every technique from myself. I am going to be honest—I have watched YouTube videos, but that can only do so much. I learn differently than others and I always have. I have spent days and nights almost crying because I refused to give up. Here I am now. I started posting my looks back in October of 2017. I’ve been featured in articles and the famous Fenty beauty website. I can’t tell you how proud of myself I am. To some, it may be nothing, but to me? Every like, every comment, and every compliment is one step closer to where I want to be.

Best Primers for Your Skin’s Needs
Primers may just be my favorite step to makeup and depending on which you purchase. It can also feel like the last step to your skincare, what with so many primers reaping the benefits of skincare whilst also getting your skin ready to soak up makeup and make it last nowadays. Some people find priming an annoying waste of time and money (THEY are probably both these things). I do not hang out with such negative people. Always kick it with people that bring your priming needs up, not down! If you really want to keep your mask on all day you just HAVE to do it. It’s one of those things—like buying tampons or eating healthy for a day after New Year’s. You just HAVE to! And if you ever wondered how to achieve the most flawless finish whilst also attending to your individualized skin needs, I’ve got your face covered (full coverage, of course).
