New Year Means New Makeup

Hey Guys! First off I would like to say happy new year! I had some really fun parties that I went to and this year has flown by! This year was an amazing year and I hope that 2012 will be better. This is a very little mini-series I am doing just sharing some tips for you guys about the new year! I hope you enjoy!

Soft Smokey Eyes With Bold Nude Lips


This look is very subtle and beautiful, but the lips are pretty bold, and with NUDE!!! This is a very beautiful look and it definitely says I am new!

Step 1: Take any soft shimmering tan/brown/gray color and apply that to the lid.
Step 2: Take a sparkly black and apply that to the outer 3rd of your lid.
Step 3: Take any soft dark brown and apply that lightly to the crease. This color should be in between the gray/white and black.
Step 3: Take a light shimmery white/light gray and apply that in between your crease and your brow bone, so basically above your crease, but below your brow bone.
Step 4: Take a very light brown - coraly toned blush and apply that to the hallows of your cheeks. Take a darker colored brown if you have darker skin.
Step 5: Apply eyeliner to your water line and apply a very faint coat of mascara.
Step 6: Take a very nude matte lipgloss and apply it to the lips.


Soft and Sweet


This look is so pretty to look pretty, but very soft.

Step 1: Take a shimmery light brown eyeshadow and apply that to the lid.
Step 2: Take black eyeliner and apply that to the waterline and upper lash line. Then smudge softly to look like you put shadow in your crease.
Step 3: Apply false lashes or a lot of mascara.
Step 4: Take a light/medium shimmery pink blush and apply that to the apples of your cheeks blending backwards.
Step 4: Take a light pink lipgloss and apply that to the lips.


Dramatic Eyes


This is a great look to wear to a party and suprise people.

Step 1: Take a beautiful metallic blue eyeliner and apply it to your waterline and upper lash line. Then add a wing.
Step 2: Take an orange toned brown and apply that softly to your crease.
Step 3: Take very dramatic false lashes and apply those very precisely since the eyes are the main part of this look.
Step 4: Take a nude-pink gloss and apply that to your lips.


Subtly Subtle


Very soft and natural.

Step 1: Take a shimmery white eyeshadow and apply that to your brow bone.
Step 2: Take a soft black eyeliner and apply that to your upper lash line and waterline. Smudge softly.
Step 3: Apply false lashes for an edgy finish.
Step 4: Take a soft colored blush and apply that to the hallows of your cheeks.
Step 4: Take a nude-pink gloss and apply it to the lips.

2012 Makeup Trends Featuring: Maybelline

Hey Guys! I am sure that everybody is excited to see the ball drop on New Year's, but something that might be a bit shocking are the makeup trends coming in 2012! The most shocking of all is definitely Maybelline! In the pictures I will be showing you, they are very neon and bold with some very glittery lips unlike their previous adds which are usually very natural. I guess neon will be a very big makeup trend in 2012 considering all the new makeup collections coming out with neon colors! I can't wait to try out all the new Maybelline collections! As always I hope you enjoy!






























I honestly think that these campaign adds or photo shoots are so ah-mazing and outstanding! I really need to save my money for all the new collections and this is something so new for Maybelline and I am so excited! I LOVE IT!!!!
