Capitol Makeup

I have finally embraced my inner Portia and allowed myself to be dragged down into the depths of a new craze:

CAPITOL MAKEUP

There really isn't much else to be said about this phenomenon other than my explanation: My friends are all Hunger Games obsessed. I read the books, liked them just fine, and moved on. However, upon seeing my makeup skills for the first time (at a school dance concert; it was black swan inspired), they bugged me about doing makeup for people of the Capitol. So, I did my research. The main attributes are luxurious, outlandish, divine, and fantastical. It is inhuman design, but not alien. 

And thus has begun a stream of creation: characters that inhabit "District 1" and their distinctive styles. 

This one in particular is for my character Lunabelle. 

Maybe I should just post all the bios for them... maybe someday :3

Alright, so tutorial now! Yes, I shall give you Luna's tutorial...

1. Use [whatever] powder, foundation, concealer, etc. to make your face appear as flawless as possible. Making your face appear bright and blemish-free is the major key.

[ON TO THE EYES]

2. Apply gold eyeshadow all over the lid, as well as up onto the brow bone. Concentrate on the crease and outer corner of the lid. Make sure to blend it out!

3. Take a rose pink eyeshadow and blend it onto the outer third of the brow bone. Blend it on the gold and smoke out.

4. THIS IS ALL EYELINER: Take a white kohl eyeliner and line the entirety of the eye, making it a sort of extreme cat-eye. The tail of the "cat-eye" should outline the curve of the eyeshadow on the outer third. NEXT, take black liquid liner and place small dots along the tail of the white liner. If you want more sparkle, feel free to use a silver glitter liner over the black.

5. Now that the eyes are done, onto the lips! First, apply a peach coloured lip-stain. Make sure that the coat is even. After that, apply a clear gloss and pat gold eyeshadow onto the pout of your lips.

AND YOU ARE DONE!!!!

There, well I hope you enjoyed and stay tuned for the next tutorials. I apologize that it's been almost 5 months, but when you're in highschool, stuff happens. I would sub in a different word for "stuff" (and you can take a guess), but you get the point. I shall remain like John Lennon about it though: "Life is what happens when you're busy making plans".

Best,

Carie Lea

Hello all! After the brief hiatus of Thanksgiving break, I discovered this little piece of work on FaceBook.
I'm sure many of you are aware of the debate and issues surrounding bullying, as well as the strange status posts and emails reminiscent of chain-letters. This one is by far the most original and well thought out of the lot I've read. I'm not sure if this is legit, but it does lead to some skepticism as it cites (at the bottom) a real homocide case. I've yet to research fully the death of Miss Carmen Winstead, but trust me, it will be done.
So, please read the following little PSA and decide if it's true or not. Comments are appreciated, as always.

The Case of Carmen Winstead - found on Facebook by a follower :

Bullying killed her.
There and then, Carmen decided that she couldn’t take the bullying any longer. She planned to stay behind, that evening, after school, and tell her teacher what had been happening. Unfortunately, her decision came too late to save her life.

After lunch, her teacher announced that the school was holding a fire drill. When the alarm sounded, Carmen and the other students filed out of the classroom and assembled in the yard outside. As the teachers read out the roll call, the gang of five girls decided that this was a great opportunity to embarrass Carmen in front of the whole school during the fire drill. They moved over to where Carmen was standing, near a sewer drain, and began crowding the poorgirl, getting in her face and nudging her towards the open manhole.

They pushed her and she tripped over and fell head-first down the manhole. When they saw her falling, the girls started giggling and when Carmen’s name was called out, they shouted "She’s down in the sewer!"

All of the other students began laughing. But when the teachers looked down the manhole and saw Carmen’s body lying at the bottom in the muck and the poop, the laughter abruptly stopped. Her head was twisted around at an odd angle and her face was covered in blood. Worse still, she wasn’t moving. There was nothing any of the teachers could do for her. Carmen was dead. When the police arrived and went down into the sewer, they determined that she had broken her neck. Her face had been torn off when she hit the ladder on the way down and her neck snapped when she landed on her head on the concrete at the bottom.

The police hauled Carmen’s body out of the sewer and sent her to the mortuary. Everyone had to stay behind after school while the police questioned all of Carmen’s classmates. The five girlslied to the police, saying they had witnessed Carmen falling down the sewer. The police believed the girls and Carmen Winstead’s death was ruled an accident and the case was closed. Everyone thought that was the last they would hear of Carmen Winstead, but they were wrong.

Months later, Carmen’s classmates began receiving strange e-mails on their MySpaces. The e-mails were titled "They Pushed Her" and claimed that Carmen hadn’t really fallen down the sewer, she had been pushed. The e-mails also warned that the guilty people should own up and take responsibility for their crime. If they didn’t there would be horrible consequences. Most people dismissed the e-mails as a hoax, but others were not so sure.

A few days later, one of the girls who pushed Carmen down the sewer was at home taking a shower, when she heard a strange cackling laugh. It seemed to be coming from the drain. The girl started to freak out and ran out of the bathroom. That night, the girl said goodnight to her mom and went to sleep. Five hours later, her mom was awoken in the middle of the night, by a loudnoise that resounded throughout the house. She ran into her daughter’s room, only to find it empty. There was no trace of the girl. The worried mother called the police and when they arrived, they conducted a search of the area. Eventually, they discovered the girl’s grisly remains.

Her corpse was lying in the sewer, covered in muck and poop. Her neck was broken and her face missing. It had been completely torn off. One by one, all of the girls who pushed Carmen that day were found dead. They had all been killed in exactly the same way and were all found at exactly the same spot. In the sewer at the bottom of the same uncovered manhole where Carmen had met her doom. But the killing didn’t stop there. More and more of Carmen’s former classmates were found dead. It seemed that anyone who didn’t believe that Carmen had been pushed, was eventually found down in the sewer with their necks broken and their faces torn off.

They say that Carmen’s ghost is still on the rampage, hunting down anyone who doesn’t believe her story. According to the legend, Carmen will get you, whetherit’s from a toilet, a shower, a sink or a drain. When you go to sleep, you’ll wake up in the sewer, in complete darkness, paralyzed, unable to move, hearing cackling laughter all around you. Then, as you scream in horror, Carmen will come and tear your face off.

So be careful who you bully, because you just might find yourself on the receiving end of the curse of Carmen Winstead.

FACT: About two months later, 16-year-old David Gregory read this post and didn't repost it. When he went to take a shower, he heard laughter, started freaking out, and ran to his computer to repost it. He said goodnight to his mom and went to sleep, but five hours later, his mom woke up in the middle of the night from a loud noise and David was gone. A few hours later, the police found him in the sewer, with a broken neck and the skin on his face peeled off.

Even Google her name - you'll find this to be true.

Well - there you have it! Feedback is wonderful and is very much wanted. If you're searching through these files on Google or Bing or whatever you use, and you come across something interesting, post the link in the commets OR on my Facebook page (found here ).
Honestly, this has inspired a story in my mind; when I'm finished I'll post a link or something.
Again, thanks so much for your support and readership!
Until next time - Happy Holidays!

Les Pin-Ups are theBalm!

Feast your eyes on these very special ladies:

Now, their only job is to entice you to buy their fabulous eyeshadows. That's not discounting the guy I saw staring at the display in Sephora; I'm sure he's quite tempted to bring these babies home.
Yes, I am referring to the eyeshadows! Silly, get your mind out of the gutter!
But, I digress.
Marissa and Jordana Shipman, along with the rest of the cast over at theBalm, have done it again. These little shimmer pots are phenomenal in every little detail; the packaging is retro-cutesy, the names are hilarious, and the product is amazing-as-in-crazy-good!
So the other details: they come in a pack of 4 pots; each for one of the girls 'cause they all have to have a signature shade. The pots are clear plastic, so you can always see the gorgeous shimmer (not that it helps when studying for exams - hehe...).
Another reason they are so special? Fine: the name "Overshadow" not only implies the incredible-ness of the shadow, but also an alternative way to just wearing it alone. These shadows are designed to be layered ontop of your base shadow, and even eachother. While playing around with them this afternoon, I discovered that the shimmering gold colour goes really well over the champagne pink shade; We'll get to that in a minute.

From right to left, top to bottom:

 No money, no honey; If you;re rich I'm single;

You buy, I'll Fly, and Work Is Overrated

theBalm has become one of my all-time favorite makeup brands [along with the fabulous BareMinerals, Sonia Kashuk, Pixi, and Sephora brand] for two reasons. ONE: all of their products are crafted to be environmentally safe, made of mostly natural materials AND animal-testing FREE (so I can steer clear of the wackadoos at my school who always ask people like me "you're wearing stuff tested on rabbits?" with a simple, "no I'm not."). TWO: the product pay-off is amazing as well. Everything has a barely-there feel, goes and comes off easily, and stays on forever. I mean, you can never get rid of glitter, but this stuff lasts all day; even through my dance-team practices which are two hours ontop of a 7 1/2 hour school day.
Now the totally fun stuff: The COLOURS
"No Money, No Honey" is a fabulous gold shade, its' lid graced by the blonde. It's a light tint and adds just a bit of sophistication to even the dullest of looks (like it makes boring pale pinks and browns look Oscar-worthy).
"If You're Rich, I'm Single" is indeed a rich colour, even alone. It's a medium mauve with slivery-pewter flecks that give it that extra wow-factor. It's the perfect Chicago-style It Girl shade.
"You Buy, I'll Fly" is a pop of copper that most have dreamed of acheiving. It's bright, bold, and beautiful, but can look messy and unattractive if applied with a heavy-hand. HUGE colour pay-off, I swear!
"Work Is Overrated"- my all time name, partially because of the name; The sitting-pretty auburn doll is about to have her way with a pretty champagne pink sparkle. Honestly, it's the cutest, most effortlessly pretty & flirty colour. I will always think I'm smooth as silk in this.

theBalm's products span from eyeshadows to skin-care and everything in between. From my knowledge, it can be found in Sephora, Ulta, and I've even snagged a blush and a lipstain set from T.J. Maxx. Can't seem to find it, then get on to their website: www.thebalm.com (hey, it even rhymes!)
That's all for me on this lazy Sunday! Happy Experimenting everyone!

p.s. cross your fingers- I might update before December!

The Time of Our Lives

Behold, caffeine does have an effective use! I am living-breathing proof of this strange phenom.
Let me explain: y'know how you take a ton of pictures and video of your friends and adventures and plan on doing amazing things with it. Yet, somehow it always ends up taking up massive amounts of memory space? I get that totally, 100 per-cent.
Also, I have discovered the untapped level of dorkiness. I flipped out over free video editing software and have the most amazing project in the works with all my friends.
It's somewhat of a music video, and also a bit of a picture show. I wish I could reveal more about it, but I've only started doing recordings and have other things to do.
Teachers just love wearing out all your free time with Algebra homework. Go figure.

Anyway, there will be a photo shoot up of our highschool years so far. We are like typical highschoolers, just more talented in the field of Awkward Moments. Stay posted and enjoy fall!
Carie Lea

HEADS UP: Just added a few new stories to my FanFiction account. Click [here] for my profile. The newest ones are for Twilight, Alec/Renesme ship. I have everything, so don't worry. Thanks!

Amazing Tunes!

It's a Saturday afternoon and I've got nothing to do. I, like every other teenager, am going to listen to music. Because there's nothing else to do, right?
In light of my boredom, I've decided to post my favorite songs and a few albums; why not spread the joy of music a little further! Keep in mind: I watch gLee, but don't listen to gLee versions of things, so you might recognize a few tracks that they've don; I seem to always prefer the original versions...
Anyways, I hope you enjoy!

1. Atlas Hands - Benjamin Francis Leftwich
This is my absolute favorite song, and has been for the past 2 weeks. It was a free-feature on iTunes and I couldn't resist the singer-songwriter's album cover. It's a pretty straight song: only vocals and a few guitars (maybe 3-ish), but it's beautiful nonetheless. The music video is here.

2. Encounter - The Green Children
There's something so genuinely magical abot this album that I couldn't help but buy up every song. Every track is gorgeously laid with just enough embellishments to make each song unique and special. Milla's voice is stunning and Marlow's acompaniment can only be called ereathreal. My favorites are Dragons(music video ), Skies on Fire, and Hear Me Now (music video ).  Buying the track Hear Me Now and 50% of the money goes to poor women in India.

3. Banana Pancakes - Jack Johnson
Honestly,  I have never disliked one of Jack Johnson's songs and In Between Dreams was the first album of his I heard. In Between Dreams is full of fabulous songs, but Banana Pancakes is something else. I mean, who wouldn't love a do-nothing-day when you can sleep in and have pancakes for breakfast? It's just a sweet little tune that makes me smile everytime. Listen to: Banana Pancakes .

4. Come Fly Away - Jeremy Fisher
A little background: Jeremy Fisher is a singer-songwriter from Canada. He has a unique style using chords and instruments that aren't used often. Come Fly Away is catchy and uses sparse vocals. It's happy and the music video is a real treat for the eyes; especially for anyone who likes stop-action animation!

5. Violin AND Flower - Amos Lee
Number 5 came to a tie. Amos Lee has a gift with the guitar and Violin is a beautiful song, I believe about the gifts we are given. Flower, I loved the music video because of it's clean-n-simple look; paper made stop-action (or at least it looks that way). The both of them are winners and deserved to be mentioned. Both are from Lee's newest album, Mission Bell.

6. His Young Heart - Daughter
This is another extraordinarily clean sounding albums. Well, I lied, it's only the band's EP, but it's still incredible. The record features 4 songs: Landfill, The Woods, Candles, and Switzerland. Landfill is nearly all vocals; The Woods is guitar-vocals; Candles is just mind-bogglingly with strong then super subtle vocal and instrumentals. Switzerland, I kid you not, has zero lyrics, only a continuing aria-like vocal strain. All of them seem to interweave in a story about lost love, recovery and chidhood. Check out the album here .  FYI: Daughter's realy name = Elena Tonra.

7. Helena Beat - Foster the People
Foster the People has become extremley popular because of their song Pumped Up Kicks. If you haven't already heard it a bazillion times on the radio, colour me surprised. However, the first song released for the album, Torches, was Helena Beat. It was free on iTunes back in June[2011], and hasn't gotten nearly as much play as Pumped Up Kicks, which is a shame; because I think it's a better track. Pumped Up Kicks has a boozey-sounding feel, like you're listening from outside of a crowded coffee shop. Helena Beat is strong and vibrant, taking the other-wise simple beat into an Alice in Wonderland-style spiral, but with a sick getting ready for the apocolypse video, featuring The Lost Children (Peter Pan) and Battery City (My Chemical Romance)

8. Fairytale - Sara Bareilles
Remember Love Song; Sara's break-through song back in 2006-ish? Yea, this is another song off of that album. Sadly, I also did not discover Fairytale until last December, but at least I found it. The song basically trashes every Disney-version princess ever created, turning Cinderella and the gang into normal people. It screams that fairytales are all around us, but we're only looking for the story-book fairytales that Hans Christian Anderson and the Grimm Brothers made us think possible. Harsh, catchy, and all around crazy-goodness, I give yet another quadruple thumbs-up (with my bud, Emmy) to the Piano Queen. (music video here )

9. Stand By Me - Playing For Change
I'm positive most of you have heard this song. It's been done by everyone: John Lennon, Ben E. King, even the Temptations. But, this version was crafted by the organization, Playing For Change, whose goal is to help street preformers across the globe. They've done many songs like this, literally bringing a world together using song, but this one has something more. I can't describe what it is, maybe the muted tones of many instruments or the easy-flowing video . Whatever it is, the track is out of this world. It is by far my favorite version yet!

10. Na Na Na - My Chemical Romance
Yea, this is quite a change up, huh? I love MCR and the release of the new album Danger Days was the best day this past year. I'm not going to post the video because I'm not sure if it curses like it does in the song, but that's my only warning: a few f-bombs and the word "drugs". Honestly, the song pulses with tension, capable of giving even me an adrenaline rush at 5:30 in the morning! And it's a song about blowing things up; your argument is invalid. Battery City here I come

11. Sing - My Chemical Romance
Yes, another Danger Days song. This was done on glee a while back (they were all wearing plaid shirts in it...), and personally they killed it. When the cast members did their rendition, it lost every ounce of power and ferocity that made this song so good. It takes someone with a voice as skillfully brutal as Gerard Way's to get the messege across, and the Broadway stars on glee couldn't muster the strength. The only was to get the full taste of the track, you've gotta watch the music video. It's dirty, gritty and strange, but that's the point: making you want to get up and "keep running" away from the cruel city in the dust and take down BLI yourself.

12. Rumors - Fleetwood Mac
Rumors is one of the most iconic albums of the last 50-odd years, and it was the album that secured Fleetwood Mac's rightful spot in music history. I love this entire record, the best being The Chain, Songbird, and Never Going Back. There are also plenty of other great tracks like Gold Dust Woman, Oh Daddy, and Dreams. If you haven't heard Don't Stop [ you know: "don't stop/thinking about tomorrow"], then you really need to check this album out. Seriously; Go. Now. listen to album

Well, there are my favorite songs, at least for today. Yea, I have more, but soft, old-ish music really struck my fancy. I was drinking Coca-Cola while listening to MCR, so they're sugar-rush craze songs; but in a really good way! Check 'em out; they all rock. I promise.

Til Next Time:

Tea with the Unicorn Queen

When I said that I had a surprise for you all, I wasn't holding out. I had a chance to speak with Doe Deere, founder of Lime Crime Makeup and self-crowned Unicorn Queen. She also happens to run the Doe Deere Blogazine where she pins up details of her life and company in fantastical fashion!
As any of my friends could tell you (even some of the guys), Doe is a big inspiration to me, along the lines of expressing ones-self and being creative. So you can imagine I was floored when she wrote back saying she would love to talk with me. And a Skype chat was organized as the venue.
Though there really was no tea involved, I'm giving you all an interview that will satisfy!
[little FYI: my questions are in bold!)

What was the most fun/exciting shoot you've done?
Definintely the Snow Queen shoot for Harlow magazine. It was a collaboration between me and my friends and I'm not a professional model, so it was easier being around people you know. Instead of everything being awkward, it was nice to have someone to throw glitter at you. And the dresses were gorgeous, some of the most elaborate I've worn to date!
What is your favorite makeup to wear?
In terms of eye shadows, I really love this new colour that we're coming out with. It's a light aquamarine colour, and I love it because it's fresh, new and exciting. I like blue eyeshadow, but it's associated with the elderly. This eye shadow is different- it's fresh and exciting! However, with lipsticks, I'm very inspired by "grandmother" colours, like when you see an older woman wearing a bright pink lipstick or a cute outfit.
I just heard this great story; it was posted on Facebook from a girl who was in a restaurant and went to the bathroom to touch-up. When she was in the bathroom, she saw an older woman putting on Centrifuschia. I thinks it's cool that she recognized the purple tube and knew it was Lime Crime. If the woman had been using a lipstick from Revlon or MAC, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference because of the black tube! I just wish that women didn't have to go to the bathroom to touch up; it's like we're all hiding the black tube. When I'm out somewhere, I just pull out the tube to touch up!
Anyway, I'm glad that we appeal to the younger crowd and be inspired by the eccentric granny!
Are you going to release anything new for LimeCrime, like mascara or eyeliner?
We are coming out with a line of eye-liners in 2012, about next spring. The formulas are really nice and the colours are going to be spectacular: blues, pinks, lavenders, even a yellow-green and a chartreuse. So, it's going to be very Lime Crime, pretty and new, but with a twist!

Are any of the discontinued eyeshadows going to make a comeback? - Sarah
I appreciate your friend Sarah asking this because it shows that she knows the company well and knows the products, but I don’t think we are going to bring back any of the discontinued colours. I believe in moving the company forward, not back, so when a colour is discontinued, it doesn’t mean that we don’t love the colour, it just means we want to make space for the newer colours, ones that appeal now. I’m sure that hot pink will come back around in another re-incarnation!
You've written alot about L.A's vintage and shopping scene; how does it differ from NYC?
L.A. is great, I really think that it’s the perfect place for me. In New York, the vintage shopping isn’t as great because to buy vintage, you need to go to a vintage store. In L.A. you can find the same or a better piece much easier and at much less cost.
What are some of your favorite finds?
I have a lot of pieces that people would call evening wear and I’ve identified it as a problem. I’m still learning about how to dress casually. Even the dress I’m wearing (a black dress covered with a butterfly pattern) now could be considered evening wear. Now, I’m just trying to figure out how to dress casually, but still [dress how I like to]. An inspiration now is the 1960s and 70s. The dress that I would wear all the time if I could is vintage, probably from the 1970s. It’s a bright dress with every animal you could think of on it. It has monkeys, elephants, giraffes, everything. But, it’s so old that the stitching is coming loose and sometimes holes start to appear in the stitching. So, even if I could wear it every day, I probably wouldn’t.

You've talked about your musical background; fronting in Sky Salt, playing for keyboard for The Oddz, and releasing a solo album Supernatural. How have your experiances in the music industry helped you in launching a company?
Well, my partner and husband, Mark, and I met when we were working with a band. We had been working them with sometime. Being in music, we learned to [advertise] and put ourselves out there. Also, you learn that not everyone is going to like what you have, so you grow thicker skin. I also learned that you have to appeal to what’s interesting now. I design makeup in a collection, like a musician would design their songs in an album. Designing a product, like a lipstick tube or an eye shadow palate, is like designing the cover of the album and the colours are like the songs.
What is the most rewarding experiance you've had in your career in makeup and style?
As cool as it is to see celebrities wearing my makeup, it’s the actual girls wearing the makeup that makes me happy. We got to go to London and meet with the fans and do makeovers. It was very humbling. Designing a makeup line [is difficult]; you can’t design for every face or skin tone, so getting to makeover the girls and try out the colours on them was very [insightful].

It’s like being at a sleep over and making over your friends, right?
Exactly, except you’ve never met them before! Being able to meet the followers has helped me develop better products and better colours.
Do you have any advice for people starting out in the realm of style?
Do what you love and go where you will be loved. It’s hard to explain…when you enter a field with people that this is their life, you have to be the same way.  You need to know that your product is as good as or better than the others and know that this is what you love. You also need to know how to re-invent if it doesn’t work. Lime Crime started out as a fashion line. It was hand stitched and I would sell them from my website or on EBay. I had fans, but not enough to really make it. When I was in high school, I was a total tomboy and never wore makeup. Then it [hit me] that I could do that. I knew I loved [makeup] even though I totally sucked; I loved it enough [to turn it into my life].

You've talked about having fantasy hair(the blue hair). Do you have any ideas on what you want to do next?
I’ve been thinking of having a light lilac colour, but I’m really enjoying having the pale blonde hair. I now understand why everyone would want this; it’s very easy to just put something on [and not worry about it clashing]. When I had blue hair, I could wear hot pinks and yellows or it would look bad and I’m thinking that having lilac hair would have the same problem. I like wearing colour in my clothes and makeup, but not all on [my hair]. Maybe I’ll do something like having the ends lilac [for just a little colour], but not the all of it. Actually, that’s a great idea! I should do that!
It’s funny that you bring that up. My friend and I have started working on a graphic novel and one of our characters has long brown hair with bright blue ends.
That’s really cool! I wish you the best of luck with it and I’d like to see it when you’re done. The dark brown and blue sounds really cool! But, thanks for the idea!

I'd like to thank  Doe Deere for a truly spectacular interview; getting the chance to speak with you was the higlight of my first week of school!
Thanks to you all for reading and I hope you enjoyed!!

Love,

LeaLook: BlueBird

piece from BlueBird comic by bluegirlwish

Hello all!

So sorry that I haven't updated in what seems like forever. School just started back up and I'm trying to figure my way around my schedule and my laptop (evil thing).

I have a big surprise coming up for you all in just a couple of days [hopefully], but I thought I would stem your curiosity with a look.

I actually wore this to school on the first day. I love it because it brightened up a really grey, over-cast day and looked really pretty when I got to wander around with all of the near-fantasy nature at my school. If only I had worn a pretty dress...

The blues and greys of this look are inspired by Sara Bareilles’ song Bluebird. Imagine the bird is a streak of blue on an overcast day, and you’ll have the image. Enjoy!

For the Eyes:

First-      Take a dark blue colour and apply it on the outer 3^rd of the lid. Pull the colour into the first part of the crease and wing out the shape.

Second- Take a bright blue colour (like a cerulean) and fill in the rest of the crease. Pull it down slightly onto the lid to create a border and a faded look.

Third-  Take a sky blue colour and fill in the inner 3^rd, fading up into the crease.

Fourth- Take a matte grey shadow and apply it on to the center of the lid. Fade the harsh edges with the blue colours.

Fifth-   Take a shimmering silver shadow and apply it lightly over the grey. Use the same colour to highlight the brows.

Sixth-    Use a matte white for the corner highlight. Make sure it stands out.

Seventh-   Line your eyes. Use a midnight blue colour to line your outer lid, upper and lower. Use the colour to highlight the bottom of the winged shape of the shadow. Tight-line your eyes with any grey liner you have. Line your lower water line with the grey too.

Eighth-   Apply black mascara. Try to concentrate on the outer lashes to give it a winged, fuller shape. If you want to apply half-lashes instead, feel free to.

I didn’t do a lip look for this because it would have been the standard, light pink lip stick or a gloss. I apologize for the redundancy. Hope you enjoy! This look is suitable for parties, dances, or even school (yea, I’m a little crazy. I know!).

Love,

Carie Lea

p.s. Sorry about the lack of videos/pictures! I promise there will be a YouTube video up soon!
