makeup tutorial: princess

My grandad passed away last night, and I thought today I would do something with my makeup that reminded me of him. He used to call me "princess", I don't know why, but it kind of stuck, so I thought I'd do a "princess-y" look :)

Products used:
Revlon Creme Shadows (cream base)
Profusion Palette (light gold shadow)
Revlon Quad in Coffee Bean (highlight cream color)
Coastal Scents 88 Original palette (gold, brown, deep pink, plum-brown)
wet n wild dark brown eyeliner
Covergirl All-in-One mascara in black
Covergirl LashBast Fusion mascara in black
Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Strawberry Shortcake
Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Icy Nude

step 1: prime your lids

step 2: pat a gold shadow on your inner corners/tear duct area

step 3: apply a light cream-colored shadow all over your lid

step 4: sweep a deep pink color into your crease and outer corner

step 5: with a light hand, take a dark brown/plum/red color and pat it into your very outer corner (if you happen to have the Urdban Decay Original Naked palette "Hustle" would be great for this!)

step 6: with the same brown/plum/red color, line the outer half of your upper lids. With the remaining shadow on the brush, apply it to the outer third of your lower lids

step 7: Line your waterline with a brown liner

step 8: apply several coats of your favorite black mascara to your upper and lower lashes.

step 9: finish off with a pinky-nude lip color and put a gloss on top.

done!

I hope you guys enjoyed this and if you ever try out any of my tutorials, post a photo of yourself on your blog and leave me the link, I'd love to se how it works out for you!

sunday spark week 3

Yes, I am still going to do this despite the extreme lack of links ;)

You better believe I wore this look to school on Thursday! Unfortunately, these photos do not do it justice because they were taken after a long day at school, so the colors smudged/faded a little bit. Almost everyone in my class commented on it, and none of them could believe I didn't use MAC or Sephora. Nope, it was Coastal Scents and drugstore baby!
I didn't get to go to the Hunger Games midnight premier, but I went on Friday with my family and Saturday with my friends. Yep, I'm kinda obsessed ;)


Welcome to week three of Sunday Spark, where you can start of your week with a spark of inspiration! You can also leave inspiration for others, just enter your link in the linky tool below! It may be a photo of your makeup for the day, it may be a cool manicure you just did. Anything can be inspirational! The only rules are:

You must take the photos/write the post yourself

Every Sunday I'll pick my favorite bit of inspiration and feature it on this bloggity-blog. I don't expect to get too many entries the first few weeks, if any, but one is better than nothing ;) So link away, I'd love to see what beauty inspiration you guys have for everyone!

wet n wild white eyeliner
CoverGirl eyeshadow single in Champagne
Coastal Scents 88 Original eyeshadow palette
Physicians Formula Retractable black eyeliner
wet n wild liquid eyeliner
CoverGirl Professional All-in-One Mascara

What did your makeup look like on Valentine's day?
