Makeup Lessons

Wide/Average/Close

In my new video I show how to create a round appearance to your eyes, If you have wide set eye - which means your eyes are spaced wider apart, more than the distance of one eye between them - this will will bring your eyes closer together. 

It's also a great way to round your eye shape. 

If you follow my blog then you hopefully saw my video/blog post on how to elongate your eyes. If you have close set eye - which means your eyes are spaced close together, less than the distance of one eye between them - This will lengthen your eyes and push them further apart and for those will balance space you'll get a sexy feline look to your eyes.

It's amazing how you can change your eye shape and overall look with just light and dark eyeshadows. 

I hope you try these looks out.

Happy Birthday Brother!

Happy Birthday Brother!

I'm close to all my family but me & my brother Michael have a special bond, always have. I think because he is the oldest boy and I'm the oldest girl. He's always been very protective of me and my younger sister. My mother once told me a story about my brother which just proves how smart and caring he has always been. I was just a toddler and I was really sick I wouldn't eat anything, so my brother, who was only 7, headed to the shop and came back with Jelly pots for me which I actually ate! 

I'm so lucky to have such an amazing brother,

Thank you Michael for all you do and who you are!

Stolen videos, stolen memories.

Sorry for my lack of posting today, I had planned to do a haul post but instead this is what I have be doing - 

In the space of a week three channels have uploaded my videos and monetize them (which is placing ads on them to make money) Mostly it's a minor annoyance. Sure it's not nice when someone takes credit for your work and makes money from it but the worse part was when they steal personal videos.

                                                                                                                                           I was on youtube a few days ago and saw my dog's face on someone elses channel. I felt sick. The video they stole and uploaded was this one - 

This was the hardest video to edit and when it was done I wanted to share it with my family and friends who loved sandy and the easiest way to do that is to upload on youtube. 

To have something so special to me stolen and uploaded for money by a stranger who never met sandy, who never knew her expressions, who didn't hold her while she was ill make me sick! I donated to my local animal shelter after Sandy passed in memory of her and I plan to use the money I make from the video to donate regularly to them. 

Sure, with a few clicks of a few buttons the videos are removed but I spend most of the day removing them. The form on youtube isn't the easiest to use and its time consuming.

Since this was several days ago I'm not 100% positive whatall products I used, but the list is accurate to the best of my recollection. 

Nothing on my lips once again, though after I took these I think I used a Maybelline Color Whisper lipstick; not sure if it was Pin Up Peach or Lust For Blush. 

This look reminds me a bit of my old look using some of these colors and a few others, but I think this one is much nicer since I made sure to blend it a lot for a soft effect. :)

On this day we took a ferry to an island that day and I ended up swimming in the ocean which I wasn't really prepared for, but hey, gotta be spontaneous sometimes right? I got washed over my head by waves about 3 times but my eye makeup didn't look too bad, I just had a little mascara or something smeared under my eyes lol. I wore sunglasses all day anyway so no one even noticed. :P

Thanks for reading♥
