Speak Now Taylors Version Inspired Makeup Tutorial!

Speak Now Taylors Version Inspired Makeup Tutorial!

Hi! I decided to redo my Speak Now Taylors Version Inspired Makeup Tutorial! I didn't have a pastel purple when I did it initially. I wanted to do a softer look that would be a more "wearable" look for people who don't like as bold of looks, but still wanted to do a brighter look! I used 3 shades of purple and used my cheek highlight on the brow bone!

Morphe x Jaclyn Hill Dark Magic Eyeshadow Palette tutorial

 Dark Magic Eyeshadow Palette Tutorial

Hello everyone! Today I have a simple makeup tutorial for you using the Morphe x Jaclyn Hill Dark Magic Eyeshadow Palette! I don't believe this palette is still for sale, but you can get this look using similar eyeshadow shades! I did the whole look with 5 eyeshadows from the palette. With it being a more neutral look, I was able to work in a pop of green and keep it on the more natural side! I have a YouTube short of the eyeshadow and a video of the full makeup look uploaded for you to check out and watch the process. 

Thank you so much for stopping by! I appreciate you!

Taylor Swift Debut Album Inspired Makeup Tutorial

Taylor Swift Debut Album Inspired Makeup Tutorial

Hello! I'm back with another Taylor Swift album inspired makeup tutorial! This time I went back to the beginning with her Debut album. The greens and blues in the albums photoshoot and album artwork are so pretty. I'm  not someone who normally wears cool tones on my eyes, like greens and blues, but I had to for this look! I think this look is pretty easy to do as well. It's a lot less intimidating than it looks! Let's get into it!

Shades Used;

ROW 1:

Enlight / satin oat milk

ROW 5:

Pool Party / shimmering turquoise

Jada / matte teal

Diva / shimmering emerald

Enchanted / matte forest green

Starting out this look, I primed my eyelids with my concealer and set it with my setting powder. I'm going to have everything I used listed below! I did this eyeshadow look before I did my foundation or anything because I knew I was going to make a mess of my whole face lol. Starting out in the crease on a big fluffy blending brush, I took the shade Jada and blew it out all over the lid, stopping a little below the brow bone. To soften that edge, I took a smaller blending brush and blended the edge out with the shade Enlight. Deepening up the outer crease I took the shade Enchanted on a smaller blending brush, creating more of a V shape. On a flat packing brush I took the shimmer shade Pool Party and packed it on the inner 2/3's of the lid. Continuing to deepen up the outer 3rd of the lid, I used the shade Diva and packed it on, blending the two shimmer shade together. Then I cleaned everything up and sharpened the edge with a cotton round and micellar water!

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed the tutorial. Make sure you follow me on my other social media platforms! I post videos almost daily!

Taylor Swift Lavender Haze Inspired Makeup tutorial

Taylor Swift Lavender Haze Inspired Makeup tutorial

    Hello everyone! It's been a weird time but I'm back and better than ever! I filmed an eye makeup look inspire by the new Taylor Swift song Lavender Haze! I love Taylor's music and have since the MySpace days lol. I felt like I should mix my love of Taylor Swift & Makeup, and do some makeup looks inspired by her songs and albums! This look in particular ended up being super simple! Let's get into it! For the eyes, I used the Alamar Cosmetics Spanglish Pressed Pigment Palette! The really cool thing about this palette is there's little symbols showing which shadows are best used dry and best used wet! You can basically turn the shimmer / metallic shades into cream eyeshadows. UPDATE! She just announced the music video comes out tonight (Friday, January 27th) at Midnight (of course because what other time would she even drop something from the Midnights album?!)!! Another makeup tutorial inspired by the music video may be coming soon!!!

    Starting out this makeup look I used the shade Ja Ja Ja all through the crease and smoked it out to make it super soft and blended out. I went in and added extra to the outer corner and crease to concentrate the color and depth! For the inner 2/3 of the lid I used the shade Erus Un Show, wet with a packing brush and brought it just above the crease  and used some dry to soften the edge. For the outer corner I took the shade Guao, wet and packed it on, blending it in with the lid shade. That's literally it too, It's such a simple and beautiful look. I'm obsessed with this palette, it's so pigmented, the shimmers are so shiny and beautiful! Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope you enjoy the tutorial! I linked the palette, Just click the picture of it! No affiliation, just a helpful link. 

Xoxo,

Lulu

Updated Makeup Brush Cleaning!

Hello Everyone and welcome back! Today I have my updated makeup brush cleaning post! Over the years I've simplified a lot of what I do and how I clean my makeup brushes! All you need is your favorite antibacterial soap and a brush cleaning mat! If you don't have one of the mats, you can use your hand to agitate the bristles. My choice of antibacterial soap, is Dawn! It's been my go to for years now. When washing the brushes, use a more gentle hand but you can tell by pushing on the bristles how much pressure is needed. Run the brush under water and use a small amount of soap and scrub the bristles in circular motion to work the product out. Rinse and repeat if needed. Some pigments can stain! Once you fully rinse the brush out, gently squeeze out excess water and set aside to dry! I have posted a video of the process on all of my social media pages!

If your a visual learner, You can find the links to everything here;

>>> Fine me everywhere else! xo <<<

Things you need:

- Dirty Makeup Brushes

- Antibacterial Soap (Dawn)

- Silicone Brush Mat (Exact one here)

- A bath towel to lay them out on after

Helpful tips:

- Make sure you use lukewarm water.

- If it's too hot, you risk melting the glue and your brushes will fall apart.

- If the water is too cold, I've noticed the bristles have a harder time getting clean. 

- Lay out a bath towel, roll it up on one end to create an elevated edge for the handles to rest on.

- Keep your brushes angled down so gravity helps push the water down and not into the bristles.

This is the exact one I have, you can get them a lot of places pretty inexpensive!

Colourpop x Disney; Lizzie McGuire Collection!

Growing up, one of my favorite shows was The Lizzie McGuire show! I was a year younger than Lizzie was in the show. It was so relatable, I felt like a had a friend who understood what it was like being the odd one out. I think a lot of us had to deal with mean girls like 'Kate', it was a little easier seeing everyone has to deal with the same things. When coloupop announced the collection, I knew I had to get it! I decided to get it for myself for my 32nd birthday. I love everything, coloupop just knows what they're doing when they collab with brands. I wish Hilary Duff had been part of the collaboration, She was Lizzie and the collection would of been just overwhelmingly perfect!

The Collection Includes;

• What Dreams are Made of Eyeshadow Palette
• Dear Diary; So Juicy Gloss Set
• Seriously Cool; So Juicy Gloss Set
• Bubblegum Pop, Lippie Scrub
• Dee-Lish; Pressed Powder Blush
• You Are Magnifico; Pressed Powder Blush
• Sing To Me Paolo; Glitter Gel
• Get A Grip; Glitter Gel

Everything is Cruelty Free!

Everything but the palette is Vegan!

Per the standard of ColourPop, Everything is perfect. 

The eyeshadows are super pigmented. They are so smooth and blendable. The shimmer shades are so beautiful, there is one glitter shade, It's a beautiful peachy orange!

The only thing I would change is the Blushes, They're shimmery. The shimmer dusts away if you swipe over your cheek with a clean brush. If you don't set your base, the glitters will cling to the skin. I personally like wearing my blush higher, so it ends up with my highlight over the upper portion anyway. 

The glosses are thick, cling to the lips really well without sliding, and they're Not Sticky! You can't really feel the glitters in the glosses, but they do have a slight tingle to them. They're supposed to be plumping, But it's hard to tell if they work because my lips are naturally full already. 

The Lip scrub is super sweep, smells and tastes like bubblegum! I'm obsessed! 

The Glitter gels are so shiny, glittery, chunky. Perfect for summer, festivals, even costume makeup.

Overall, I love the collection! I got it back in May for my birthday and I've played with it a few times and still love it! It's still available on the website, I can't wait to see what their next collaboration will be!!!

Warm Autumnal Tutorial

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog. As it's now the end of October and we're really into the autumnal season, it's time for me to do all of my favorite fall makeup looks! This is my favorite time of year! Let's just hope and pray I'm not covered in hives all fall and winter this year, like I was last year ugh. Let's get into this look!

Starting out this look I did my base, all of the products will be down below! I primed my eyelids with foundation for this look. I've been doing that a lot lately and it's been holding up all day so much better than the eye primer I was using. For this look, I used two of the Jaclyn Hill Vault palettes!

Palettes Used:

Jaclyn Hill Vault: Bling Boss

Shades: Bling Bling, Hush Hush, Spark, Rockstar

Jaclyn Hill Vault: Ring The Alarm

Shades: Lolli, Siren

On a big fluffy brush I took Hush Hush and blew it out in the crease to start out a smooth base for the rest of the crease colors. On a smaller tapered natural fiber brush I took Spark and Rockstar and blended them through the crease, taking it almost all the way to the inner corner. To darken the outer corner, I picked up Siren and some Spark and kept them pretty tight in the corner and a little in the crease to help blend everything. I cleaned off my big fluffy brush and buffed the edges of everything out to create more of a hazy blended look. On the lid I used my fingers to pat on and blend out Lolli in the edge of the outer crease towards the inner corner, the I took Bling Bling and patted it from the inner corner, about half way in. I was in a rush to a wedding this day and completely forgot to put anything on my bottom lash line! I would of used some of Spark and a little of Bling Bling to brighten the year duct.

These are some of my favorite colors to work with! I'm kind of spooked by cool tones, but warm tones are my favorite! I have green rings an a weird green spot in my eyes and warm tones really help the green pop! I know I haven't been blogging much, I was going through a lot of things inside myself. Self hatred and feeling not good enough or like I'm not going to go anywhere with my career I'm trying to build. I'm doing better about all the self loathing, and I'm going to be putting more effort into myself and my website! I post a lot more on Instagram if you want to keep updated!

Sweat proof makeup!

Hello everyone and welcome back. I haven't been here in a while but I'm back and have been working on testing certain makeup items and application techniques to work with sweating! I am someone who deals with sweating a lot. It's taken many years to figure out how to do a full face of makeup and have it look good all day. That's through sweating and dealing with an oily t-zone. I've tried a lot of foundations, concealers and powders and found a trick that works with any that you own! Let's get into it!

For foundations I've used,

Maybelline matte and poreless, 

Revlon Colorstay (combo oily), 

Colourpop No filter 

Morphe foundation 

Dermacol.

It's worked with all of them, just better with some more than others! 

For concealers I've used,

Morphe's, 

Colourpop No filter,

Elf 16hr camo concealer, 

Makeup Revolution's concealer and the 

Ulta full-coverage concealer.

Whenever I do my makeup anymore, I buff in my foundation with a flat top brush. Right now I'm using the Bh Cosmetics foundation brush from the royal affair set! It's super soft and dense! The best thing to do is to buff in a light amount of a medium to full coverage foundation. You don't want to put a bunch in because you'll end up looking cakey! A thin amount of product looks more skin like and all around nicer. For concealer, I always use a Real Techniques alone and a small amount of concealer. 

My favorite foundations right now are a half and half mix of the Morphe foundation and the Colourpop No Filter foundation. My Morphe is too dark and the colourpop is too light, So I mix them and they end up looking so good together. They're both matte foundations, so the end up not causing any weird issues being mixed. The Morphe one is so long wearing and sweat resistant to an extent. To make things last so much longer, I put setting powder on my forehead, around my nose and chin. It's basically like baking, but I don't use a ton of powder. The rest of my face is lightly dusted with any extra powder.

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

I know this is not revolutionary, But I've been asked a lot how I keep my makeup in place all day. Through sweating, heat, running errands and anything you can think of. Honestly, the Morphe foundation mixed with colourpop's and set with the Makeup Revolution Translucent Baking Powder is magic. I think it might be some kind of which craft. Remember, Know your skin type! If your dry, these tips will not work for you. You will need a dewy foundation and maybe use the lightest amount of powder possible!

Pre-Makeup prep!

I always make sure I scrub and moisturize my face! I use an antibacterial hand soap, It works best for my acne prone skin. I then air dry my face and lather on Nivea Cream, It's super thick and my skin loves it. I've recently started using (recently as in like 5 months ago) the Makeup Revolution baking Oil. I love it. My face is so soft and my natural oil production isn't crazy like it use to be. It's really helped balance out my skin. When I use to do my makeup, my nose makeup would slide off and look horrendous after like an hour. Now it looks so much better with my natural oils being under control. I hope this has helped some of you out! Let me know if you try any of these tips and how they work out for you. DM me on Instagram if you have any questions! I'd love to help you out!

Spring Vibes - Jaclyn Hill Palette Tutorial

Jaclyn Hill Palette Tutorial - Overview

Hello everyone and welcome back to my website. Today I have the original Jaclyn Hill Palette! I know it's going to be two years old in June or July, But I finally just got it. It's not for a lack of wanting it or anything like that. I was never able to afford it till now. I also got her vault collection and I'll have tutorials for each of those as well. I'm so excited for all of the tutorials I'll have going up over the next month or so... I already I one of those done, I just have to write it... After I'm done with this post! The look I did with this palette, I know I know, It's kind of underwhelming! I was so panicked by all of  the beautiful colors that I just didn't know what to do or where to begin! So I went with a warm toned kind of smokey eye with a super shimmery baby pink lid color. Lets get started boi's!

Starting out this eye look, I primed my lids with the Wet n Wild Photofocus Eyeshadow Primer, and set it with the Makeup Revolution Baking Powder in Translucent. I decided to set my lid with this look because I wanted to see how pigmented the shadows were without a sticky base. Going into the Jaclyn Hill Palette I started off with the shade Pukey and brought it almost all the way into the inner corner on a bigger fluffy brush. I went in twice with it, bring it up a little bit higher for more of a blown out look. To deepen up the crease I tapped into Roxanne and kept it more in the outer third, blending it lower and keeping it focused in the outer corner. I ran Pukey and Roxanne lightly under the lash line, blowing Pukey out a little more, keeping Roxanne tighter to prevent it from looking too dark. On the lid I took a flat shader brush and some spray and picked up the shade Sissy, and put it all over two thirds of my lid, slightly blending it into the outer third. I also brought it on the lower lashline about a third of the way in. On the inner corner and brow bone I used the shade Beam.

Thank you all so much for stopping by, please feel free to share this post! Just a little wrap up here, I love this palette. Oh my god, the mattes are soft, creamy, blendable and pigmented! The shimmers are so buttery and pigmented. I can't wait to play in the Jaclyn Hill palette again, But I also have other new palettes and I want to try all of them out more. My next look with this palette is going to involve Royalty and Twerk! I don't know how I'm going to do it, but i'm using both of them together somehow! There are endless color combinations and looks that can be done with it. I'm so beyond happy the Jaclyn Hill palette wasn't sold for a limited time!

Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog! Today i want to share this beautiful rose gold inspired makeup tutorial featuring the Shaaanxo palette by BH Cosmetics. Recently I've become so obsessed with copper and rose gold decor and accents. So when I realized there was a rose gold shade in the Shaaanxo Palette, I had to do a tutorial! I ended up wearing this look to the grocery store and my makeup stayed on through all of my sweating and rushing around. So whatever I did with my face makeup that night, was something I need to do more often. I'll touch on that a bit more down below! Let's get started!

To start out this look I'm going to be priming my eyelids with the Hard Candy Eyeshadow Primer and set it with the matte cream shade like I always do with every look. In the crease, I went in lightly with a fluffy brush into the brick shade, slowly building up a hazy warm crease. For the lid I took a flat shader brush and picked up the rose gold shade, spraying it with some setting Spray to intensify the pigmentation. To blend the edges, I lightly faded the rose gold shade on a dry brush. To darken the outer corner i used the darkest shade and kept it closer to the lash line and outer corner. To finish off the eyeshadow, I used the Champagne color on my brow bone to soften and blend everything out. 

For my face makeup I used my setting Spray, then primer and let them sit for a few minutes before moving on to concealer then foundation. I think doing that helped with the longevity of my makeup. One main problem I had that day was I didn’t wash my face that morning, so my dry skin patches seemed to flake pretty bad by the end of the night. The areas on my face that don't have dry patches, seemed to hold up really well though!

Makeup Revolution Vivid Shimmer Brick Tutorial

Makeup Revolution Vivid Shimmer Brick Tutorial

Hey guys and welcome back to my blog! Last week I posted a review of the Makeup Revolution Vivid Shimmer Brick, which you can find Here! Now, last week when I posted that review I didn’t even think to do multiple styles of swatches. What I mean by multiple swatch styles is a brush swatch, with and without primer, also what it looks like wet. I will be adding in those swatches in at the end of the post! Now let’s get started.

Starting out this look I’m going to prime my eyelids with the Hard Candy Eyeshadow Primer like I always do! It’s my favorite primer, it keeps my eyes crease free all day! I’m going to set my primer using the nude shade in the Carli Bybel palette to ensure a smooth surface for blending. Through the crease I’m going to use the top middle matte brown shade, it’s the perfect warm brown for transition. In the outer corner, I’m going to use the matte darkest brown shade for depth. For the lids, this is where things get fun. I’m going to pick up the colors from the Makeup Revolution Vivid Shimmer Brick, and spray them with water to make them look more metallic and vibrant.

On the lids I’m going to try using three shades from this Makeup Revolution Vivid Shimmer Brick. For the main lid shade, I’m going in with second color which is a mauve pink. I’m going to pick up a good amount on a flat shader brush and spritz it with some water. The water really helps colors, especially shimmers. Pop and stand out a lot more than they would without it. For the inner corner, I’m going to be using the white shade. On the outer corner I’m going to use the darkest brown. I’ll be putting it on wet, then going back into the darkest matte brown shade I used to soften up the outer corner and bringing in the crease shade to soften the middle crease area. I want to keep everything very soft and hazy.
