A Resolution for "Fall Out"

Hi guys! I know alot of you are concerned about eyeshadow fall out, being very careful to pat on your shadow to avoid it falling onto your freshly foundationed cheeks and all. I have seen some of you put a bunch of loose powder on your cheeks so that it sweeps away easily. Well, that is one way, but there is a much easier way.

For eons, we have all been taught to do our faces first, foundation, concealer, etc. And then do our eyes. Well, I do my eyes first, if the fall out happens, it happens, no biggie. I finish my eyes, all but underneath, where I also put shadow and liner. Once my eyes are done, I take a bit of makeup remover and wipe off all of the fall out, now I do my foundation and concealers. Once that is done, I do the undereye lining, and it all comes together great!

As for mascara, I think most everyone does their top lashes first, then the bottem ones, but with the tops wet (unless you let them dry first), at times you get little black dots all over your upper lid and your fresh eyeshadow, and now you have to correct it....I do my bottom lashes first, then the top, it completely eliminates that problem!! I remember having a makeover done at the Bobbi Brown counter, and the artist doing my mascara, telling me to tilt my head a certain way, so that those horrible dots wouldnt go onto my lids. I told her that I normally do my bottom lashes first, she had never heard of doing that!! But she thought.........Hey, what an awesome idea, and now she does her clients this way too.

Anyway, just a couple little tips I thought you would all like.

Hi guys! I wanted to reveiw the 120 eyeshadow palette, the Costal Scents 88 shimmer palette, and of course throw in another look too. I bought these palettes because of a couple of tutorials I saw, and thank you SOO much for the info!! Costal Scents I got from Costal Scents (naturally), but the 120 palette, which I must say that I love more and use much more, I got from Ebay! Type in 120 palette and it will come up. From Hong Kong it only took less than a week to arrive here in California! Yeaa.
If you are just starting out, and have few colours, and want more shadows? Try these, they are very pigmented, last all day and are inexpensive! You seriously can't lose, and you will have just about every colour there is! From matte to shimmer to pearl, gorgeous!
I saw this one tonight on YouTube, it is titled "Dark Fairy" OMG I fell in love with it! It was my first attempt at the look, and the rhinestones I added myself at the last minute. I think my lines are more like spider legs this time, LOL! But I still love it.
I did this one tonight, I wanted to try painting my lower lashes on...hey it is easier than I thought!

Some favorite Looks
















Here are some eye looks I've done, only a few here. Many I got from tutorials on YouTube (thank you ladies for those wonderful tuts!!). No matter what was used in the actual videos, I used Ben Nye.

Samhain (Halloween) Look


This look, created for Halloween, was taken straight out of the Ben Nye cataog with only a few minor changes! Ben Nye Gold glitter laquer was used here.
