Today's Look... Royal Lips

Today's look was inspired by wanting to do something different. It is rare that I wear lipstick out on a daily basis, let alone a dark, bold shade like blue, purple or black. I'm not saying that I won't or haven't worn those shades out. I just don't tend to on a regular basis, and because of that a lot of my blog looks don't always have bold lips. WELL... Not today. 

Today I decided to use MAC Cosmetics Matte Royal Blue, a dark deep shade of blue that will take any look to that next level. When I was done wearing my lipstick and removed it the lock I was wearing instantly toned down to create a whole new look. This is how simple it can be to differ or create a look for the day vs evening.

As always below is a list of all the products that I used.

Eyes:

-Urban Decay Primer Potion

-Nyx Jumbo Pencil (Milk)

-Urban Decay Naked 1 Palette (Buck, & Half Baked)

Today's Look... Smokey Midori Green

Today's look is a light and dark green combo on the eyes, with neutural natural lips. This look is all around this is a pretty simple and straight forward look to do. I used some of my favourite eyeshadows which of course are made by Sugar Pill. 

I do apologize for the lack of lighting in my photos. Unfortunately this was the best spot I could find today so I had to make due with what Ive got. These photos sadly don't do the shadows any justice. They are a lot brighter in person. The lightest green in the corner of my eyes had a lovely shimmer as well. :(

Lots of photos and of course a list of products used below so keep scrolling!!

Today's Look... Autumn Insprstion

First off I would like to wish everyone a Happy (Belated-Canadian) Thanksgiving!! If you are celebrating I hope you had lots to eat with friends & family.

Today's look was loosely based off of this "holiday" as well as the Fall season. When I think of this time of year in colors I think of shades of golden yellows, oranges, and browns thus the colors chosen for my eyes today. The rest of the look I choose to keep pretty basic, keeping my eyes as the main pop of color and focus.

Today's Look... You're Eyes at Sunset

Today I am keeping true to my recent promise to start creating bright vibrant looks on myself again. Without meaning to I used colors that resemble shades seen in a tropical sunset.

I had so much fun creating this look that I included a quick step by step guide to show you how to recreate this fun but sexy tropical sunset eye.

Today's Look...

Hi everyone!! Sorry I keep disappearing. This summer I got signed onto a new TV show that will be airing in October. Can't wait to blog about it. Coming soon...

With that said this fall I will be committing more time to my blog and posting more looks, reviews and other awesome goodies!! Now onto some make up...

Today was the first time in a while that I actually went full out on my own make up. I miss having the time to do my make up the way I usually want to wear it. This look is very similar to the last one I posted, with slight differences. This smokey but colorful look is super fun to wear and easy to do.

Today's Look... Sparkling Green

The look was inspired by another gorgeous eye I saw stumbling around the internet. It was filled with green shades and gold glitter. I wanted to do something super fun and different from what I had been wearing recently, so I decided it was time to bust out some sparkles and pair it with a bold red lip. (The red lipstick and lipglass I am wearing are from the MAC Maleficent collection.)

Today's Look... Acidberry meets Mochi

I am so happy I have finally found the time to post a "Today's Look" blog. It has been far too long since the last. I am hoping to post more looks, more often starting...now.

My only inspiration for today's look was to do something bright and bold. I absolutely love Sugar Pills pressed shadows so it's hard to pick a favourite however Mochi & Acidberry are colors I tend to use a lot.

Today's Look... Blue Jays

A couple days ago I went down to Toronto to watch the Blue Jays vs. Detroit Tigers, my boyfriends team. We had a lot of fun, and it was a great game, but sadly the Jays lost.

Thinking of the game I wanted to keep my make up light because it was a warmer day, but still wanted to include some blue to represent my team.

Theatre Class Photo Shoots

Two weeks ago I had completed my Theatre course at Complections. We had our photo shoots within the last couple days of the course and got our final prints back on Wednesday.

Doing these photo shoots for school was quite exciting because I got to control the creative direction.

My first photo shoot was based off prints made by artist,  Roy Lichtenstein. My model was meant to look as much like the printed comic as possible. 

My idea was to play on the tears already rolling down her cheeks and really see the sadness in her eyes. She was meant to look like she was almost at a funeral. I also choose to dress her in all black to contrast from her colourful make-up and hair. 

Model: Amanda F

My second photo shoot was created around the idea of doing a shoot in UV black light. I have always loved  black lighting, as well as any glow in the dark art or paint.

I had chosen to do a tiger lady because I wanted to create a image that would be simple but bold and powerful. I also need something that was still bright enough to leap off the page.

Model: Camille H

A lot of work went into these photo shoots on everyone's part. I would like to send out a very special thanks to Amanda & Camille for coming down to Complections and volunteering their time to model for me.
Thank you so very much!!

Current course: Film & Television... blog to come soon. :)

Peace & Luv

Fashion Class Photo Shoots

As mentioned in my last blog I am currently attending a make-up school in Toronto called Complections.

Though out my time at Complections I will be learning the basics of hair styling, fashion, theatre, film & television, and special effect make-up.

So far I have completed their hair styling, fashion, and theatre courses. It seems crazy that I have already almost completed half the program.

I have finally received my pictures from my first photo shoot. During each course we are given the opportunity to have photos taken of two make ups that we would like displayed in our portfolios. Once the photos are taken we choose a shot we like for editing. It is then printed and ready to be placed in our portfolios. 

These are my photo's for my fashion course...

I just did my theatre photo shoot last Wednesday, and can't wait to get those photos back too!
Ill post them as soon as I have them. :)

Today's Look... Pink Lemonade

Today's look really wasn't inspired from anything specific. I haven't used any pink shades or many yellows on my eyes recently, and I think they are a great color combo that should be experimented with more often. I would say I was inspired by other peoples creative looks. I love the bright colors & creative designs I have seen recently.

Today's Looks... Heart Breaker

Today's look was inspired by Sugar Pill's new Heart Breaker palette. The widely popularized palette has four beautiful shades that are all equally fun to experiment with. You're probably going to see these shades featured in my looks quiet often for the next little while. ;)

Here is today's look...
