Tutorial: Day to Night Transition

d0rksta — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 21:34:01 +0000

Here is my tutorial for a day to night transition. A natural look in the daytime for going to school or out to lunch with friends and for nightime, a dramatic look when you’re heading to a party and you’re too lazy to shower and fix your face all over again. So hopefully this tutorial will help you because black and brown e/s looks great together!

Oh yeah, in the beginning of the video I mentioned line eyes with the Fluidline… what I meant was line the upper waterline first (:

Eyeliner Tip

d0rksta — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 20:58:59 +0000

Never apply eyeliner pencil that glides on smoothly on bottom lashline because it’ll melt and will cause raccoon eyes.

Example: L’Oréal Pencil Perfect Self-Advancing Eyeliner = A Big NO-NO!

Storage Organizers

I believe that every girl needs their own cosmetic organizers… including me! I found these great sites with awesome organizers. I definitely need to save up!

Mascara Applying Tips

d0rksta — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 20:19:26 +0000

Ever wonder how to apply mascara correctly?

1) Throw away mascara after three months because bacteria will form.
2) Tilt your head backwards when applying mascara on upper lashes and tilt head forward when applying on lower lashes.
3) Never curl your lashes after applying mascara because your lashes will stick onto the pad on the curler and doing that will cause your lashes to break and smear.
4) Try getting a business card, put it behind your lashes, and apply mascara. This way you will get all of your lashes.

I wish the green is greener. But overall, the colors and texture are beautiful… and I’m “whispering” again. ugh.

What I used:

EYES
LORAC Starry Eyed Baked Eye Shadow Trio in Rising Star (all three colors)
Stila Convertible Eye Color Dual Shadow and Liner in Forest
Cover Girl Lash Exact Mascara in Very Black

LIPS

Ever wonder how to get rid of your eyeliner smudges without rubbing on your eyes, which causes wrinkles? This is the easiest way I could do it.
