My Halloween costume: Zombie

Posted by Kimmy in BH Cosmetics, Makeup Tutorials, Uncategorized on November 4, 2009 | No Comments To see the zombie photoshoot: Start here on flickr!! There’s like 8 images.. we took a lot more but they were blurry :/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/38599083… This isn’t really a formal tutorial – but it does show the exact process I went through to put my zombie costume together. I decided the day before halloween that I’d be a zombie, just like in ZombieLand. Yes, I did airbrush the base of the makeup, but its doable without an airbrush. I just think it looks more “natural” and less face paint-ish. My boyfriend and I did the zombie walk through the city,...

Sparkling Purple and Gold Smokey Eye using Tarte Treasure Chest

Posted by Kimmy in BH Cosmetics, Featured Articles, Makeup Tutorials on November 4, 2009 | No Comments Hey everyone! This is a tutorial for a purple and gold smokey eye with a layer of glitter that shines through from underneath. I used mostly the Tarte Treasure Chest for this one. I’m in love with it! Also, purple is in this fall, so I hope you like this one! One side might look darker than the other – but that’s because my light source is to my left side and the front of me, leaving my right side looking a tad bit darker. Thank you guys for watching!

Sephora Eyeshadow / Yaby Cosmetics Review

Posted by Kimmy in Featured Articles, Reviews on November 4, 2009 | No Comments Sephora Eyeshadows: Like: Glittery, show up well with a paint pot applied first. Dislike : Don’t show up without first applying some sort of base. Came to me broken.. very fragile. Overall Grade: B Yaby Cosmetics Eyeshadows / Pearl Paints Like: Very strong pigmentation, portable 6inx8in (about that size) palette. Not fragile – will withstand being knocked around. Nice mirror inside of palette. The colors are the size of a dime, but have huge payout so you don’t need to use much. Dislike: No dislikes. Would love for more colors to come out though! Overall Grade:...

BH Cosmetics 120 Palette, Kat Von D, Tarte Treasure Chest review

Posted by Kimmy in Featured Articles, Reviews on November 3, 2009 | No Comments I ordered a huge load of makeup from Sephora , etc. These are 3 of the things that I got. BH Cosmetics Like : Large array of colors, cheap, fast shipping, portable. Dislike: Some of the pearly colors are very powdery, can be difficult to blend sometimes, medium pigmentation. Overall Grade : B. Kat Von D Like: Very pretty green colors, great pigmentation, portable, cute case. Dislike: The middle color “Brass Knuckles” is creamy. It is a very hard cream too and difficult to apply evenly across the lid as a base. I had to add this in about a week after I did the video, when I actually tried...

Megan Fox Inspired Makeup Tutorial

Posted by Kimmy in Featured Articles, Makeup Tutorials on November 3, 2009 | No Comments Hi all! I’m doing a Megan Fox **inspired** (its not exact!) look that can be worn during the day. (Although I prefer not to wear fake lashes when I’m in class cause I feel overdone) I’m not saying I look like her or anything, I have a completely different bone structure Also I’m aware that I was looking rather “rough” (or maybe that’s putting it too lightly) this morning. Arrrgh! 1. Urban Decay Primer Potion – http://www.sephora.com/browse/product… 2. Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer –...

Soft Merlot Eyeshadow

Posted by Kimmy in Featured Articles on October 28, 2009 | No Comments Hey all! This is my first tutorial for makeup. It is a soft merlot/red wine sort of look. It’s very soft and great for fall! 1. Put on an eyeshadow primer. Either Urban Decay Primer Potion or Too Faced Shadow Insurance is great. 2. Put on foundation primer. I use Smashbox Photo Finish. 3.  Apply Too Faced eyeshadow duo “Bon Bon” (The sparkling nude shade) To the inner corner of your eyes. . 4. Apply Too Faced eyeshadow “Temper Temper” to the outer half of your eye. I apply it a little bit damp at first, then dry my brush and blend it – this gives a stronger...
