Becky: BFTE Teals

Hey y'all! Emily's sister Becky here, did a quick EOTD for fun starring Beauty From The Earth shadows. Enjoy, and be sure to check out my artwork page >:D

I started with a JEP black base, and put the electric blue where I wanted a highlight.

Then applied bombshell over my crease and thinly under my water line. Then I added illusion over the blue JEP base and pat-blended over the main lid.

Then I added jaded around the entire eye and dabbed a little on the highlight area of my lid.

Butt Naked added to my brow bone and inner corner.

finished with eyeliner and mascara!

Here's the latest purple look I've done. I really love it because all of the colors I used were matte. I've found that the more and more I use them the more I become obsessed. Then again all that goes away when I use a shimmer for the first time in months and freak out that my eye looks glossy and wet, to DIE for LOL =D!!! All in all I think makeup is about phases, whatever we are feeling, how much time we have and how inventive we want to be. For me I have been using the CS Blush Palette like it is going out of STYLE!!!! So when I tried this vibrant purple I was shocked at how much I had missed drama. How long it had been! The hubs had requested a smokey eye (Idid them a lot when we met) and I am so very glad that he did =). Anyhoooo, this look is a little different for one very big reason. ONE eye is MAC and ONE eye is from the Coastal Scents 88 Palette. Can you see the differences? There are some of course but for those not ready to shell out almost $15 for one eyeshadow the 88 palette, at $19.99, is a pretty welcomed sacrifice. The colors themselves are so pigmented and long lasting that they performed just as well as MAC all day long (of course I used my Urban Decay Primer Potion under both!). I hope that you enjoy this fun wearable purple and be looking for more comparison tutorials to come!

Party Problems!

Wedding, Ball, Party and Debs (Irish Prom)

are all popular occasions for this time of year!

Hopefully I can help sort your party problem!

1. Picture Perfect

Getting your make-up just right for that special day can seems impossible but it doesn't have to be!

I have tutorials that will get help you get photo ready!

First The Basics!

This video explains everything you need to know to get your makeup to last and more importantly look prefect in photos!

Flawless Foundation

Getting flawless skin can be tricky especially if you suffer from skin problems like me, but I share my favourite tips here!

Contour Queen

Contouring and highlight will take your look from great to picture perfect!

Photos can make the face look flat and fuller then it truly is, but hopefully this simple beginners tutorial will help!

One tip I will give you

Dark skin - Highlight More

Work with your natural dark contours.

Light Skin - Contour More

Work with your natural pale highlights.

2. Matchy Matchy

I am not the biggest fan of matching the same tones in your dress with your makeup but I don't see the harm in coordination them, So lets talk colours!

For Blue/Navy Tones

You could try this look -

(by the way my dress is from New look)

Black & White Dresses

The most popular question I seem to get is about matching makeup to black or white (or both) dresses, I always say that a red lips and liner really seem to work!

This look work prefect for photographs too so its a complete look!

This one is a little bit more vintage but it equally works

Mixed Dresses

My new tutorial is a look for any dress!!

These are the most popular looks I get asked about but feel free to leave a comment with your dress colours! I am going on a break with my boyfriend Jonathan for a while but when I get back I will update with new look, just leave a comment!

Nail Moment: Dior Vernis Makes Rainbows

Top - Bottom (rainbow): Calypso, Cosmo, Lagoon, and Acapulco.

I must have been channeling rainbows on Friday when I drafted this post because the next day we saw a rainbow - actually a double rainbow - that stretched from one end of the city to the other. I don't know if it's been the growing support for gay rights or seeing these lovely Dior polishes from the Summer collection - maybe a mix of both - but a nail lacquered rainbow painting just seemed right. You'd think my rainbow was painted by my 6 year old, but sadly this is my dandy handy work. Hey, it's not as easy to paint with nail polish brushes as you think!

The summer shades aren't out of the ordinary, but they have the right amount of glossy shine and pigment to make a statement. The brush, however, is pretty different compared to other brands. The brush is wide and tapers slightly at the bottom to help contour to the curve of your cuticle. I like the shape and find it really easy to work with. If you tend to be drawn to high-end nail polishes, you will love Dior. They are known for their fashion-forward straight-off-the-runway colours. I'm lusting after a deep grape shade new for Fall!

For your enjoyment, here is the beautiful rainbow we were lucky enough to catch! This was taken by my husband who is a photographer buff. I think he changed 4 different lenses in a matter of minutes! Rainbows to me are a sign of peace, love and luck or maybe it's a sign from the Big Guy that He is pro gay rights. Hmm...
