Countdown To Christmas: Holiday Makeup

Hey Guys! Today's countdown to Christmas is a holiday tutorial. This look is perfect for a Christmas party or any kind of party. Red lips are always in for winter, but you don't have to go as dramatic. Do whatever you are most comfortable with.

Step 1: Take any shimmery tan eyeshadow and apply it on the lid.
Step 2: Take a slight dark matte brown and apply that lightly to your crease going no further than half way. Then make a slight wing.
Step 3: Apply a lot of mascara for your lashes to look really good.
Step 4: Take a nice matte red lipstick and apply this to your lips. If you mess up at all or you want to define it more, take a small concealer brush and use concealer to cover it up or make it more defined.
Step 5: Take a light shimmery pink and apply that slightly beneath the apples of your cheeks.
Step 6: Take a nice white/gold highlight and apply that to the pinpoints of your face and anywhere else you want to glow more!

Victoria Secret Model Makeup

Hey Guys! The Victoria's Secret 2011 fashion show just happened very recently. On all of the commercials the models makeup always looks stunning, so I thought I would show you how to re-create this look! (Please note that almost every model's makeup could possibly be different because of their outfit. I chose the most natural look of them all.


Step 1: Models will ALWAYS have defined cheeck bones, so make sure you apply a lot of bronzer.
Step 2: The models always have a glowing face. Apply a highlight to the pinpoints of your face and any where else you want a little more glow, then apply a nice pinky-coral colored blush.
Step 3: Take any shimmery tan color and apply that to your lid.
Step 4: Take a very sparkly gray or medium brown and apply that gently to the crease. Then make a very defined, but curved wing. *Tape helps best with wings.
Step 5: Take any shimmery white color and a very small brush and apply the shimmery white to your lower lash line and focusing on the inner tearduct.
Step 6: Take a gray or light black eyeliner and apply that very lightly to your waterline. How much you apply is up to you. Then apply a lot of mascara or false lashes.
Step 7: Take a mauvie-pink colored lipgloss and apply that to the lips.

Weekly Favorites!

I love the Bare Escentuals bronzer in warmth. It adds a good amount of glow to my face.










Glo Minerals blush in rosebud is a very rosey color (hence the name!) a perfect color for fall/winter.














The Conair bun maker seriously makes the PERFECT bun. Since i have thinner hair its hard for me to get a full bun so this helps a million times more. (Also comes in blonde)















Victoria's Secret perfume in Secret Charm is a very fresh smelling, fruity scent. I wear it everywhere!














Very unhealthy I know, but so addictive!
