Demi Lovato-Skyscraper Music Video Makeup

Not too long ago Demi Lovato made her comeback with the song "Skyscraper." I immediately loved it, and praise Demi for singing such an inspirational song. When the video came out I loved the simplicity of it as well as her makeup so I decided to recreate the look myself. This is what I came up with:

1. EYES: 

The first step was getting some gold and coppery tones on the eyes. I first applied ELF's creme eyeshadow in the color "Butter Pecan" - the Lighter color I wore on the inner half of my lid, and the darker on the outer half. I then did the same with the powdered eyeshadow of "Butter Pecan". Last i added a highlight on my brow bone and NYX's Loose Pearl Eye Shadow in the color "Nude" on the inner corner of my eyes to make them pop.

As you can see ELF's creme eye shadow (shown on the left for the first 2 pictures) are much more pigmented than the powder eye shadow. The NYX shadow is VERY pigmented.

I used a brown eyeliner on my top lid so the look would be more natural looking, as well as Loreal's  Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara - (My favorite right now!)

This mascara isn't waterproof (what I usually buy) but i think it is what has been giving me more natural looking lashes.

Finished eyes

2. Cheeks:

Used Elf's All over Color Stick in the color "Golden Peach" and swiped on my cheeks then topped it with Forever 21's Love and Beauty Blush in the coral color

3. Lips:

For the lips all I used was the same products as above... Really! I didn't have any coral-red lipstick so i just used my All Over Cover Stick and dabbed some coral powder over that.

4. Hair:

Quickly, Messily, and Loosely curl your hair to get that "unkempt/disheveled" look.

voila!

4th of July- Nails + Event

Yesterday was a great Independence Day for my family and I. The day started off with the family playing baseball down the street from my house. Of course my team won, and after that we all got ready for a BBQ at my uncles house. Before I left I decided to quickly do my nails somewhat like the American flag.

1. The first step was to paint all my nails a flat red, except my ring fingers which i painted a metallic blue.

2. Next I added white stripes across the red nails; these came out a bit crooked since i was just using a nail polish with a fine tip.

3. Last I used bundle monsters BM21 image plate with the stars on my ring fingers. Just add a top coat & clean up any mistakes and you're done!

Mint Nails

Mint nail polish has been really in this spring/summer so I decided to buy myself a bottle and try it out for myself.
The nail polish i bought was Sally Hansen's Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear in the color "Mint Sorbet" from Rite-aid for about $3.

I didn't really like the color on my nails by itself so i decided to add white polka dots the next day. Kept the look simple, yet cute.

The nail polish was nice and thick so I only needed one coat and it lasted me a while without chipping. That's always a plus.
