CHEETAH EYEZzzzzZZzzz

Want to stand out? Take a walk on the wild side with this cheetah eye look! Simply splash a gold shadow all over the lid. Take a liquid liner, and draw half circles and C's all over the lid, as much as you prefer. Finish it off with your fav pair of lashes. If you're feeling even more wild, take that liquid liner and wing it out, for a more dramatic look. I decided to go with a bold RED matte lip.Mac's "Ruby Woo", would be purrr-fect. Check out the pics below!

NICKI MINAJ "STUPID HO3" MUST SEE LOL

By now I'm sure you beauties have seen or heard about the latest Nicki Minaj video called and I quote "Stupid Hoe", It's the first track released off of her latest album "PINK FRIDAY:ROMAN RELOADED". As confusing as the video can be to some, I kind of get it! LOL. The highlight though, was the crazy makeup that I myself had to dig my hands into! I decided to dupe the look! I had fun. Not a look that you would catch me rocking, but for the most part, it's NICKI. What else would one expect? Below I have a few photos of the look on Nicki as well as myself. Along with the video. If you are under the age of 18, DO NOT WATCH! LOL..............Have fun looking guys..............Proceed with extreme CAUTION:
DISCLAIMER: IN NO WAYS DO I CONDONE THE LANGUAGE, IMAGE, OR ANYTHING ELSE PERTAINING TO OR PORTRAYED IN THIS VIDEO, IT IS ALL IN GOOD HUMOR ;-).

 STARTED OFF WITH A TOUCH, KEPT DOTTING.......
AND ENDED UP WITH THIS.........

Faux "Spider" Lashes

Ok Ladies......... BIG lashes are a big trend right now. They bring tons of attention to the eyes. Honestly, I am not big on false lashes, because of the fact that I was born with already full thick lashes. The only time I have worn false lashes was for prom. Even then I can remember snatching them off before I even left the house. With anything makeup, my advice is if it isn't broke, don't fix it. Lashes is a step that is NOT always necessary. Yes they look awesome photographed, but in person, they can sometimes be a bit much. (If not applied correctly) And remember ladies a little mascara goes a long way!  In my opinion, if not done right lashes can appear a little too "made-up" But for those of you who would prefer to bring more attention to the eyes, what better way than with false lashes! Remember you have the choice between individuals, and strips. Most people choose 'individuals' due to the longevity of them. With strips being a lot less time consuming. Here are a few tips for you beauties when wearing falsies. Check for photos of me with a pair of "spider lashes" on! Not bad, but right after the photo I removed them :-(.





The point is to make people think that they're yours ;-) Don't do too much :-(
Keep them looking as natural as possible
Do not apply on bottom lash (like are you serious)
If you look as if you're about to fly away, lose the lashes
Stick with the natural color of your lashes
No stones, glitter, feathers (Unless it's for a photo shoot)
Do not wear lashes everyday(you'll lose your real ones)
Lashes that are too heavy will weight down the eyelids(Can you say droopy eyes UUUUGGGHHH)
Please do not double up on the packs of lashes you put on the lids
Wear lashes according to your eyes size and shape
Split the lashes in half for a more natural look
Do not use glue that has a strong smell, chances are it's too strong for the eye area

A lot of people overlook the importance of well-groomed eyebrows. Ironically this is one of the most important features on the face. Man or woman. A well shaped set of brows can alter your whole look either good or bad.
Here are a few tips for keeping those brows..........well TAMED! LOL

Few DO NOT Photo's below


Beautiful BROWS BELOW ON Kim K:

Getting your brows to fit YOUR face

1.Neaten the hairs with a brow brush so that you can know where plucking is needed


2.If you hold a pencil vertically up the side of your nose. Your brow should start in line with this pencil. Hold the pencil still and gently turn it at a 45 degree angle.Where the pencil touches the browbone is where the browbone should finish.


3. Invest in a great pair of tweezers. Firmly grasp the hair by the root and pull in the direction of the hair growth.


NOTE:PLUCKING IS BETTER THAN SHAVING. WITH SHAVING YOU'LL HAVE STUBBLE THE NEXT DAY. PLUCKING LASTS FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS!


DO NOT:
*Pluck above the brows, only underneath
*When filling in the brows, only fill in where the natural hair stops and starts. Don't go any further.
*Draw on brows with a pencil using straight bold lines.(Swipe lightly instead)
*Use a straight out black brow pencil or shadow(no one has jet black brows)
*Draw brows higher than where your natural hair grows (Can you say HUH!? LOL)
*Tattoo on brows, unless they are exactly, I mean exactly how your natural brows are (even then be sure to continue to pluck where hair grows outside of the tattooed brow.
*Dye brows a different color than the color that your natural brows/hair grow
*Take the time to apply eye shadow on un-groomed<---(NOT A WORD LOL) brows (NOOOOOOOOOOO!)


DO:
*Use an eyeshadow shade a shade darker than the natural hair to fill in the brow
*Pluck brows as much as need be, even if hair grows everyday(do what u have to do Ladies)
*Allow the hair to grow back if you've received a horrible wax job (I know ladies, but the in between time, is not THAT bad!)
*Use a skin toned cream shadow to intensify the arch of the brow
*Use a clear brow gel to hold the brows in place.


Remember! There is a reason why your brows are as thick as they are. As thin as they are. As light as they are. As dark as they are. Do not change this. It is in fact okay though to manipulate them in order to make your face a bit more appealing! Your brows are meant to bring your whole face together. Keep your face, how it was created to be.God makes no mistakes! Trust him. And trust me on this one. 


Since I was blessed with quite thick and full brows already. I don't have a vid to show this technique. As I do not think it would help that much. I have in fact enclosed a video of a good way to fill in the brows. By a cute youtuber! <3
