PANIC!

FUN NEW TREND!

I have been rocking the ear candy for a while but didn't know it was a real trend until I saw it on Pinterest. I must say I love mixing and matching different earrings and getting a funky end result. Almost all of the earrings are from Claire's but my tragus stud was purchased from a vendor at my local mall. In total it have 10 ear piercings but don't wear one of my cartlidge piercings because it gets snagged on my hair too much. 

So what do you guys think about this trend?

MY FAVORITE MAKEUP PRODUCTS

                                           

  

I'm not too keen on wearing a lot of makeup, most days I chose to go completely natural. But it is fun to make yourself look fresh faced and glowy! 

FOUNDATION: I've been using the same foundation for years now which is Bare Minerals in Fairly Light. I love this product! Most liquid foundations clog my pores, but Bare Minerals is so light and airy, it feels like I'm not even wearing makeup. It is a medium coverage, which is perfect for me since I don't have many blemishes. I also use Revlon Photo Ready concealer for highlighting my under eyes. 

BLUSH & BRONZER: To contour my cheek bones, I like to use Bare Minerals in the shade Warmth. For blush, a true pink works best for me and I like E.L.F.'s blush in Pink Passion. Not only is the color highly pigmented, but it is only $3!

EYEBROWS: Our brows are often neglected, but I think they are one of the most important part in making your face look complete and put together. I start by setting my brows with E.L.F.'s Wetgloss (not shown) and then fill them in using the gel-like eyebrow pigment in E.L.F.'s Eyebrow Kit in the shade Medium with an angled eyeliner brush. 

EYES: I like to keep my eyes simple. I haven't been using much eye shadow, but when I do I usually reach for my NYC Brown Eyes Pallet. There are four colors that compliment my brown eyes very nicely. But usually, I just use my Bare Minerals Concealer Brush to apply some foundation to my lids.

LIPS: I like to mix it up when it comes to lip color. Some days I will opt for a nude, baby pink color (Loreal Le Gloss in Baby Blossom) and on other days I like a little pop of color so I will use Revlon's Lip Butter in the color Berry Smoothie.

ZOMBIE MAKEUP TUTORIAL!

I know, I look totally creepy but isn't this the only time of year that's acceptable? Creating this look was really fun and somewhat easy. If you want to learn how to recreate this look, keep on reading.

You'll need....

You will also need a foundation that matches your skin tone as well as a translucent setting powder. Also, you'll want a makeup sponge for applying the liquid latex (a porous makeup sponge was included in the latex I purchased and shown above).

Step 1:

Prime your face with a primer of your choice. I used Bare Minerals Prime Time (not shown). Then apply liquid latex to the area where you want your wound to be. 

Step 2: 

Apply tissue paper ontop of the latex. Gently pat it down, but don't make it look perfect. Continue to apply latex and layer tissues. Once you are satisfied, move on to step three. 

Step 3: 

Once the latex is dry, apply your foundation to your whole face, covering the tissues and latex. Then finish it off with some setting powder. 

Step 4: 

If you are making a wound on your cheek like I did, draw a line from the outer corner of your lip, onto the wound, ending parallel to your ear. Next, CAREFULLY cut along the line creating a slit. 

Step 5: Now for the fun part! Define the outline of the wound by mixing purple and red face paint. To add depth, apply a combination of red, purple, and black to the parts of the wound that should be the deepest. Using black and red, define the slit. 

Step 6: It's time for fake blood. Apply some to the slit and let it drip down. Don't be too precise when doing this. The messier, the better. Next randomly splatter fake blood around the wound. You can use a spray bottle with fake blood and a little water to create the splatters. 

OPTIONAL: Contour your nose and cheeks with a grey shadow. You can also make your under eye dark circles even more pro dominant by using the same shadow that you used to contour. 

Voila! There you have it! I hope you enjoyed!
