I had a request from Ashley for a Reese Witherspoon look and also a red lip tutorial. I kind of just put them both together since they came from the same person =). You can also watch it in HD!!!!!!! SO much better quality. Click play and where you see the numbers 360p, click on it and choose the 720pHD version =). She wanted to know how to do shadow on hooded lids and how to make a red lip not look trashy with her coloring. She also sent me some pictures of herself and holy COW does she look like Reese. Check out that jawline!!!
This is the red lip that I chose for the look but not the eye makeup. I think this lip will look stunning on Ashley with it’s slight orange undertone.
Here is cute Ashley herself =).
This is the eye makeup that I chose for the tutorial. Soft and somewhat pinky nude in it’s color with fabulous sparkle. Great for the red carpet and stunning for an everyday look. I’ll be doing a more dramatic Reese eye in the future.
With a few simple steps you can achieve a flawless looking face. Remember that the best way to HAVE a flawless face is to drink lots of water, wash your face everyday and have a skin care regime free of toxins. Look out for Parabyns and PEGs in your products. Lessen your sugar intake so that you aren’t dehydrating your skin causing unwanted wrinkles. Get a good amount of sleep to avoid excessive bags under your eyes and exercise at least three times a week. It’s a lot to think about and that’s why most of us, me included, don’t have a flawless face. Just do the best you can, choosing the steps that you feel are most important in your life and go from there =).

Here’s a funky look inspired by a request that I got.
Someone’s was having a Whoville themed Christmas Party and I liked that a lot!
I looked all through pictures to come up with a look
but alas could not find just the right one,
not even in a book.
So I thought and I pondered just what would I do
Then it came to me! I would not do just one Who….but TWO!!!
That’s right not just one Who would do for today
so a new Who was born, her name? “Cindy May”
or Martha Lou? Cindy Martha? Lou May?
I think I’ll need to better hone my Who skills especially since I keep saying and writing Betty Lou instead of Cindy. Oh Jen… but you get the picture =D. Merry Christmas!!! What are YOU doing this year to keep you from being the Grinch?
Here is a look with a little Holiday
sparkle =). Sorry I had to resort to my old camera for this one but if
you follow the techniques and use the same colors then your results will
be AmAzInG!!!
The imagination of Daphne Guinness, a new line from MAC offering the most romantic and gorgeous shades of
rose. The lip shades are to die for in all of their berry goodness! I am not prone to drooling over a MAC line since most of the shades can be found in their already existing line under another name but THIS I might have to go out and get!!! It’s available the day after Christmas so ask for a gift card to your local Nordstrom ;). Check it out:
Cremesheen Glass – $22
Borealis – pale grey pink with iridescent pearl
Japanese Spring – pale dirty pink
Narcissus – dirty eggplant
Richly Revered – deep brown plum

I absolutely aDORE this lip and wanted to revisit it for the holidays. The only thing that I would do differently is take my MAC wax pencil (usually meant for brows) and line just above my lip line. That way it would trap any lipstick wanting to wander up into creases =). Merry Christmas!!!!
Here are some good ideas for that special someone in your life. To make it easier for them to get you exactly what you want =). I go through a few of my must haves, good starter brushes and my fav products. Merry Christmas!!!
I wanted to thank all of you for sending it such great entries this year. I will for sure get it going sooner next time to give you more time to send your makeup creations. Look at the amazing detail that went into these costumes. I LOVE them!!!
