Lulu's Life: take me back to brazil

Cotton Candy Fantasy Tutorial

Hello Everyone and Welcome back to my blog! I've been having so much fun playing with colorful eyeshadows and making myself get out of my comfort zone! I love the colors Pink, Purple and mint, but I didn't have a mint so I used a baby blue. This look reminded me of cotton candy so that's where the name of the tutorial comes from. I couldn't think of anything else to title this tutorial so that's what we have. I can only be creative for so long and for so many things, titling things isn't one of them as it seems, lol. Today I used the BH Cosmetics Take Me Back To Brazil palette that I've had almost a year I think. I've seen pictures of the Morphe x James Charles palette and i'm just craving colorful makeup! I hope i'm able to purchase the palette. But blogging doesn't really make any money for me so I'm extremely lucky to buy anything I can!

Starting out this makeup look, I took my concealer and my beauty sponge and patted it on my lids in a thin layer. I used just enough to hide my veins and discoloration, but I didn't add so much that it was heavy and creasy. I did not set the concealer, I wanted to keep the base tacky to insure the eyeshadows were vibrant and didn't ware away. Picking up color 1, a bright fuchsia / darker hot pink I packed it on the outer corner of the lid making sure to start creating a sharp line. I slowly added more color, lightly blending into the crease and bringing it up pretty high. I then picked up color 2, a darker purple, and patted it on the outer edge blending it into the pink for a soft transition. I also took in onto the outer 2/3 of my bottom lash line. Picking up shade 3, a bubble gum pink, I took it on a blending brush and started buffing out any edges and bringing it close to the head of my brow. I also put it on my blower lash line, fading it from the purple to the inner corner. For the final actual lid shade I picked up shade 4, a light blue with the slightest green tint on a wet brush and patted it onto the lid from inner corner about half way. While I was packing the blue on, I made sure to softly tap out any edges so it didn't look harsh and sloppy! Shade 5 is basically a sheer highlight shade that has a pinkish gold shift, I used this on a wet brush and put it in the inner corner and under the arch of my brow bone! This is also what I used to highlight the rest of my face with, on top of another highlight shade!

Here you guys have a close up shot of the eyes with my eyes open and shut so you can see the look in all of its glory! I honestly am in love with this look and i'm super proud of how well it came out! I hope you guys love this look as much as I do. If you recreate it let me know on Instagram!

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! Today's tutorial is this beautiful purple and silver smokey eye. This tutorial is on my youngest step daughter Trinity. We chose this color scheme to compliment her blue / hazel eyes. I think we succeed with making her eye color pop! We used Pinterest to look at some color charts and see what colors make blue eyes pop! This can be helpful if you're wondering what colors best compliment your eyes. Being an avid makeup obsessed freak, I know what colors to wear on my eyes to make them pop. I don't always follow those rules, because its makeup and you don't have to stick to just a few colors. Let's get started on with the tutorial.

Starting out today's makeup look, we went in with foundation on her lids. I mix two shades to get my custom shade, luckily we have the same skin tone! I have all products down below, but just used a primer, concealer or foundation. Use whatever suites your style and needs. Starting in the crease I took the contour shade in my Elf contour kit and buffed it in through the crease from outer to inner corner. I wanted to build depth before going in with the purples. On a fluffy blending brush I went in with shade 1, a cool darker purple and built up color until it was as dark as I wanted it to be. Adjust to your liking as with anything I mentioned. To deepen the crease, I took the shades I marked as 2, tapping into them and building up the outer corner. Shade 1 just wasn't a dark enough purple so I used a dark blue and light purple to make a custom shade for the outer corner. On the lid I went in this really cheap Wish palette, and took the silver on a flat shader brush with some setting spray. I packed on the silver and then set it with the same silver shadow. On the bottom lash line I went in with the purples and just built them up the saw I did in the crease. Adding something to the bottom lash line really helps pop your eye color even more!

That's all this eye look takes! Super beautiful and pretty simple to achieve! I just wanted to thank you for coming by and checking out my blog, I've had a set back in life and haven't been posting recently. What are you going to do when you have depression, anxiety and keep getting sick? It's been pretty annoying, I'm on antibiotics for the second time in a months period. I've missed doing my makeup, I've missed blogging and sharing my tips with y'all. Just been a real one, lol. I've also been watching a lot of James Charles, talk about sister snatched. He's always killing it, I aspire to be on his level one day lol. Also, I'm almost to 100k views and I'm panicking! Love you all so much for everything you do for me. Keep sharing and reading, it's helping me more than you know.

Xoxo Lulu
