This is part of a Greek Goddess Makeup Challenge and this week’s theme was Aphrodite. I used a lot of pinks and reds and did a fun heart filled/glitter filled drip sort of pattern on my cheek. Read more to see more photos and details of the look!
MOTD: Purple & Aqua Pastel Goth Makeup
This is what happens when I’m bored and listening to Halsey. This look is the LITERAL definition of “I’m feeling myself”. I can’t stop staring at it. Is that narcissistic? Or am I just an artist proud of her work? I’ve always been fond of pastel goth trend. If you haven’t heard of that it’s basically cute pastels crossed with black and goth elements. It’s freaking bad ass. Here’s a cool example of pastel goth make up. I did this look just for fun and it will probably never see the light of day. The black lipstick with purple accent will definitely never. Anyway, let me explain the look a little more and tell you about the products I used to achieve it! Read More →
MOTD: Patriotic Makeup for 4th of July
Hi everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July filled with fireworks and barbecue (or maybe just sitting at home, whatever works for you). I wanted to share my surprisingly wearable but also patriotic 4th of July makeup look! The look is also featuring my simple but festive nails!
I originally tried doing a funky winged eyeliner look using the NYX White Liquid Liner that is SO opaque but that was a train wreck. Disclaimer: Apparently you cannot layer eye shadows over the eyeliner, they look cracked and are not opaque. I decided to just trash that look and make up a new one (with only ten minutes to spare).
I ended up with this look that’s basically white shadows with red and blue in the crease. There’s some sparkle over the white (it’s hard to see) and the rest of my makeup remained fairly neutral with a matte red lip to top it off.
For this look, it made a huge difference when I used a light gray to shade the crease of the white and I also used a darker red and a navy to blend the crease of the red and blue accents. I also used my favorite neutral shimmer to blend out the red and blue—also a key point.
Anyways, that was my look! It lasted the entire day (although the lips faded) and I’m really happy with how it turned out! I wish I knew how to apply false lashes–they would’ve been perfect for this look.

MOTD: Pastel Cotton Candy Makeup for Father’s Day
Happy Father’s Day! I typically don’t do really fun makeup looks on a daily basis but I was feeling adventurous today and decided to do a cotton candy inspired pastel makeup look. I apologize for my horrific photography skills, but this is the makeup look I did today!
I focused on my eye makeup (obviously) and stuck with a neutral lip. I also kept the face makeup to a bare minimum—namely skipping foundation and bronzer. You can see my freckles wheooo! The key to this pastel eye is smoking it out and accenting it with a dark plum rather than a dark black. It’s also crucial to start with a light white or silvery base and to blend out the yellow with light nude colors rather than the plum!
