FOTD 10.20.11

Since I went so long without posting, I wanted to show a look I've been wearing a lot this month. It's so of a gold and brown smokey eye, with a little bit of glitter. I love this look, and I think it'd be a great party look!

Also I tweaked the settings on my camera so the colors come out more true to life. :)

FOTD 10.19.11

Ok, so I wanted to make this into another Get Ready With Me post. I recorded the whole process and everything. Then when I tried to edit the videos (cause I separated them into 3 sections) they wouldn't even import into the editor. >:( I'm still getting used to iMovie and just doing anything with video for that matter, but apart from these little mishaps, I find it all fascinating so I might do more later. That is, if I'm even able to make it past the importing stage.

I wore this smokey eye the other day and I really liked how it looked. As usual, my camera really washes out the color, but you get the general idea.

Sugar Skull/Day of the Dead Halloween Look!

Sugar Skulls are a really fun and creative idea for Halloween, and recently I've noticed it's becoming more and more popular. I've seen a lot of makeup looks and tutorials for them, and decided to do my own. I derived a lot of inspiration from Sylvia Ji, a painter who is known for depicting beautiful women often wearing ornate sugar skull makeup.

I wanted to do something slightly different from some that I had been seeing, and used lots of gold glitter. This took me like 3 hours to do, so if you have some time on your hands, try this out. It's a lot of fun.
