Dont get me wrong, I love my curly hair (when its behaving), but theres something about being able to run my fingers thru my hair without it getting caught in a messy curl that fuels my straight hair desires.<br />
I've gone down the normal blow dry and straight iron road for many years, and now that I'm a Mom of two, I really dont want to spend an hour blow drying my hair. On top of that, I really want to keep heat to a minimum to maintain the health of my hair. So, I've turn to a lot of heat-free methods to straighten my hair--- and much to my chagrin, most of the methods I've tried have left my hair looking flat, lifeless and usually with a ton of kinks and weird dents where the clips/bobby pins/hair things left their mark while my hair was drying. So after a lot of research I came across a method called hair wrapping. A lot of Africian American women use this method, and its an easy techniquie to use and sleep in!<br />
I decided to record a tutorial of me doing this hair method so its easier to see.<br />

I've been on quite a lipstick kick. Maybe its summer and all the bright colors it has to bring, but I've been loving experimenting with new colors and different finishes. Its easy (for me at least) to feel like I have to keep the rest of my makeup simple if I'm wearing dramatic lipstick, but I wanted to play around with a full face of makeup and see how adventurous I could get with my lips too.<br />
<br />
The other day I did a pretty classic smokey eye with a nude lip like usual. But then I started thinking about switching things up, and went from a nude lip, to a bright red, then to a black lip all within a few minutes. Its surprising how completely different a look can be when you just change your lip color!<br />

Wearing a bright purple smokey eye is great for a special occasion, but its not practical or even appropriate for most days. So, how can you use the bright colors you love so much in everyday life? Take a look at these ideas for inspiration!<br />
<br />
1. Add a pop of color to your inner tear duct-<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3YenVJ-mMuXheXHImnol-24i4ES0K_KqVeW17xy61Ai2nIFQAiC8zE4M73H8yw9ZkUTHrqr6ynuDfW3WHObmb9dyCpAnnlafCLhgCBxDQrJu_NcqNZs6njyflFRwPSgp9oOoVvGplGYHl/s1600/20140326_121734.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3YenVJ-mMuXheXHImnol-24i4ES0K_KqVeW17xy61Ai2nIFQAiC8zE4M73H8yw9ZkUTHrqr6ynuDfW3WHObmb9dyCpAnnlafCLhgCBxDQrJu_NcqNZs6njyflFRwPSgp9oOoVvGplGYHl/s1600/20140326_121734.jpg" height="333" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
This is a perfect time to pull out your lighter, brighter colors like yellow or light blue. A dot of color in the inner corner adds a lot of interest without looking to over the top. Just be sure it avoid colors that have red undertones- colors like pink or red in the inner corner can give a 'sickly' effect.<br />
<br />
2. Smokey color under the lid-<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFj8F4Zsp4N91gWNcZqy2FJUOXfk1eGmgtXW8Yu_4Hch9-03Y7QmRi89esjWZ9LcLivEbFNBrVROPXVGeVcCal4LsNINTAgIw3q5FbDs0BM3Dv11x-EybDamvWJWBMSlpObE-UJF42wJA4/s1600/20140330_103910%25280%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFj8F4Zsp4N91gWNcZqy2FJUOXfk1eGmgtXW8Yu_4Hch9-03Y7QmRi89esjWZ9LcLivEbFNBrVROPXVGeVcCal4LsNINTAgIw3q5FbDs0BM3Dv11x-EybDamvWJWBMSlpObE-UJF42wJA4/s1600/20140330_103910%25280%2529.jpg" height="321" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Wear this with a simple eyeshadow on top, and this is where you can pick a color and let it shine! Purple, green, blue, turquoise, any color that once again wont make you look sickly. You can really blend the color down as low as you feel comfortable- just make sure you avoid harsh lines. Keeping it soft allows you to use that bright color without it overwhelming your whole face.<br />
<br />
3. Soft wash of color around a smokey eye-<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-flCnPTbeZTaKVR3LMiqAEFkZyGLSBQXNMpZ2uwJxR-ECm52qh7-cxwWYKqXpF1_UFzpABArQjrilA0UQ1UgEsfkZM3zIfhw061rxISjEeGacTUb64poljk0zkg6XtsHOn1A8FnqYvMG_/s1600/20140329_133256.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-flCnPTbeZTaKVR3LMiqAEFkZyGLSBQXNMpZ2uwJxR-ECm52qh7-cxwWYKqXpF1_UFzpABArQjrilA0UQ1UgEsfkZM3zIfhw061rxISjEeGacTUb64poljk0zkg6XtsHOn1A8FnqYvMG_/s1600/20140329_133256.jpg" height="302" width="400" /></a></div>
Often we think of smokey eyes as all neutrals, but adding a little bit of color can add an extra special spark. Here I used a soft pink shadow to blend out a pretty traditional bronze smokey eye. The key to this is using a matte color if possible- because shimmery colors blended to far up on the lid can be a little dated.<br />
<br />
4. Colored liner-<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqq1DrOXWLWUx9-qcx9x2dX41iuZWSW3R4ZE1jeHriiqk3_-ReN6TPDzBzR3De5x3fS_gul2nA9QwALeYSuipqFRVKlS4TjSSNLBZSZLhZ4CvJ8xK6tRg3vf84PQo0Z2oiRDz0az85oZpC/s1600/20140405_094927.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqq1DrOXWLWUx9-qcx9x2dX41iuZWSW3R4ZE1jeHriiqk3_-ReN6TPDzBzR3De5x3fS_gul2nA9QwALeYSuipqFRVKlS4TjSSNLBZSZLhZ4CvJ8xK6tRg3vf84PQo0Z2oiRDz0az85oZpC/s1600/20140405_094927.jpg" height="351" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
There's no need to spend a ton purchasing a bunch of different colored liners. Just make your own! Any color, and almost any eyeshadow will work. I used a drop of Elf's Lock and Seal to my liner brush, and dipped it into a loose eyeshadow pigment to create this green liner. You can do the same thing with eye drops as well. If you're using a pressed eyeshadow, be careful to either dip your brush on a corner of the shadow (as water can damage the shadows finish), or pack the shadow onto the brush and then wet it.<br />
<br />
5. Color in the crease-<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwc253e2VGILAnKbFzD-5KCk5JGymzVea5ohshk8koKbTbI4j_j-ar5iNgKkXvzJs7LFmHKUw0Fts7kLtGbVH8oiToXDh6bG57-gRLzARrPtdGzUmGPAyGrXTwzhUQhW4b24shi4BP_br5/s1600/20140411_123032.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwc253e2VGILAnKbFzD-5KCk5JGymzVea5ohshk8koKbTbI4j_j-ar5iNgKkXvzJs7LFmHKUw0Fts7kLtGbVH8oiToXDh6bG57-gRLzARrPtdGzUmGPAyGrXTwzhUQhW4b24shi4BP_br5/s1600/20140411_123032.jpg" height="350" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
This is probably the easiest way to wear color every day. However you wear your normal eye makeup, you can just layer a little bit of color in the crease for added depth and interest. Any color will work, especially if you keep your other shadows neutral! Here I used a burnt orange- but you can just as easily use purple, red, green, blue... the list goes on and on!<br />
<br />
So what are you waiting for? Pull out those bright shadows and start incorporating them into your daily makeup routine! Who knows, maybe it will spark some creativity and you'll combine a few of these ideas together for a totally unique and bold look!<br />

So you go out, buy the brightest color that strikes your fancy, bring it home, and wear it once. Maybe twice. Then it sits on your counter staring you in the face until winter when bright lips seem out of place.<br />

So how can you get some more use out of that summery color? Here are some ideas!<br />
<br />
1. Wear it as blush.<br />

<br />
Lipstick (especially creamy formulas without sparkle) are ideal cream blushes. You can apply it two ways: rub some from the bullet onto the back of your hand and then swirl a synthetic brush in the lipstick and apply lightly to your cheeks. You can also apply to lipstick to your fingers and then rub it into your cheeks. The key is to make it a light wash of color.<br />
<br />
2. Use it as a cream shadow.<br />

It might be a bit out there for some, but using lipstick as a cream shadow is a great way to bring a bold statement to your eye look. Of course, you can also try lighter lipsticks if you want a sheer wash of peach or creamy pink. The key to using lipstick on your eyes is using a eyeshadow primer underneath and to set the lipstick with a shear wash of eyeshadow to ensure it doesnt crease.<br />
DISCLAIMER: Most lipsticks are not approved to use around the eyes, so use it at your own risk. When using lipstick on my own eyes, I just keep it away from my waterline and tear duct area.<br />
<br />
3. Wear it as lipstick (Duh!)<br />

<br />
OK, I'm not trying to be smart here. All of us have bought a lipstick because we love the color but have felt strange wearing it in public because it screams "LOOK AT MY LIPS!". Summer is the perfect time to get over that fear and just go for it. Orange, purple, pink, fuchsia, blue, green- whatever! Wear it to the pool, to the store, on a date or to church. Why not? Whats stopping you?<br />

You spend 50% your time trying to figure out how to get your hair to grow faster, and then the other 50% trying to camouflage the awkward in-between stages while you wait to reach your goal.<br />
Whether you realize it or not, there is a lot you can do with your hair while its growing to help with the painful process. From headbands to braids, styling your hair in the growing out phase is essential to sticking to your guns and braving through the gawky stages. Here are some inspiration for styles you can try while growing out your hair from a pixie cut. Obviously I'm not a hair authority, so there are a million more things you could try. But these are just a few that worked for me. <br />
<br />
1. Headbands <br />

I started growing out my hair in Feb. 2010. It was very short and incredibly damaged, and there
wasnt much I could do with it besides style it the way it was cut. So I started throwing headbands in my hair every chance I got. Plain ones, decorated ones, whatever matched my outfits and mood. It didnt change the fact that my hair was short, but it helped me feel like I was able to have a few options besides my plain pixie. </div>

Over the course of growing out my hair, one of the easiest ways to change my look was to go back to basics and let my curly hair be curly. It was hard, especially when you're hair is very short, curly hair can feel like you're walking into Golden Girls territory. I felt like the secret for me was to diffuse my hair with a blow dryer to add lift, while keeping my hair smooth with gel. It helped keep my hair bouncy and shiny without looking like a poodle.<br />

Even if your hair is to short for a ponytail (like mine was in the first picture), you can play with pulling it back. Pull back your bangs, or create a poof at your crown with butterfly clips. Experiment with what works for your hair. Once my hair was long enough I pulled it into baby ponytails a lot. Maybe it looked silly, but I was proud that it had finally grown long enough!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Another option is to use bobby pins, and lots of them. When your hair is short it can be hard to get a bobby pin to hold anything back, but with a little practice, you can create some cute styles. A little hairspray and texturizing spray can help keep pieces that are to short under control.</div>

Its a simple thing, but makes a big difference. Changing your part can
add body and lift if your hair is a little flat, plus it can help hide
awkward layers as they grow.<br />

5. Try some braids<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">My meager braiding attempt</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
Admittedly, I'm not very good at braids. Now that my hair is longer I'm getting better- but when my hair was short I was rubbish. I wish I had played with braiding more when my hair was short- its such an easy way to spice up your bangs or create a pretty half up do. Use some bobby pins to pin short hairs in place if they arent long enough to stay in your braid.<br />
<br />
<br />

Pin curls seem intimidating, but they actually are quite easy. I learned from watching youtube turtorials (a good place to start is <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PBwSXHWvA8&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank">here </a>and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRY5Q2_IMqs&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank">here</a>.) Once I knew the basics, I did pin curls all the time on my short hair. Pin curls dont have to give you a super vintage feel either- you can really use the basis of pin curls to create volume, soft curl or full on Shirley Temple head.<br />
<br />
Obviously the longer your hair grows, the more you can do- but dont let the length keep you from having fun. If you like wearing hats or scarfs, rock those on days you feel like your hair needs a little help. Dont focus to much on your desperate struggle for long hair and enjoy the time you have left with short hair. Play with it. Do things you always wanted to do but never had the guts to do before. This is your chance- so go for it!<br />

It's been two whole years since I decided to grow out my pixie cut, and its safe to say I've reached the other side. In fact, I've gone through at least 3 cycles of cutting my hair in a pixie, and growing it back out over the past 10 years or so. They say hindsight is 20/20, and after looking back through pictures of my hair during this last transition, I thought I'd impart some wisdom for those who are thinking about or in the throws of growing out their pixie cut. </div>

<i>Before you read on, know that I'm not a hairstylist, nor have I received any professional training. All of these tips are ones I learned through the school of hard knocks and lots of research on the good ol'internet. If you have any reservations about applying these tips, go to your hairstylist and ask them first! Also, there is no sure fire steps you can take to make your hair grow faster. Genetics and your overall health are huge factors when growing your hair, and everyone's hair will grow at a difference pace. Once again, ask your hairstylist if you have any reservations! </i>That being said, here are a few tips!</div>

1. As I stated back 2 years ago in my original <a href="http://psalmsthirtynineseven.blogspot.com/2012/02/growing-out-pixie-cut.html" target="_blank">post</a> about growing out my pixie cut, there were several steps I had to take in order to get my hair healthy enough to grow past the length it was. Looking back, the main thing that made a world of difference was putting down the bleach. As much as I loved the bleach blonde color, it was destroying my naturally dark blonde hair. It was breaking off every time I washed it and felt like straw. Dying it a darker blonde and applying <a href="http://www.sallybeauty.com/Aphogree-treatment/SBS-670567,default,pd.html?cm_vc=SEARCH" target="_blank">protein treatments </a>every few weeks stopped the breakage and allowed my hair to finally grow.</div>

2. It took quite awhile to get to the point I was comfortable with it, but putting down the flat iron made a big difference. Take it from me- my natural curl is frizzy, flat, and all around not cute. But, after some experimenting, I was able to find ways to bring out my curl without looking like a poodle. Part of that was learning how to do a classic wet set pin curl (which sounds harder then it really is). I watched a few great videos (watch some of my favorites <a href="http://youtu.be/6PBwSXHWvA8" target="_blank">here </a>and <a href="http://youtu.be/cRY5Q2_IMqs" target="_blank">here</a>) that gave me the basics to start setting my hair and it did wonders.<br />
Now that my hair is grown out, I still only heat style on special occasions. I think its been over 6 months since I last blow dried or flat ironed my hair. One day when I have the time I might pull out my flat iron just to see what my hair looks like totally straight, but for now I'm having a lot of fun finding new styles that are easy and healthy for my hair.<br />

3. To be completely honest, part of the reason my hair grew fairly well was because I got pregnant in November of 2012. From my understanding, pregnancy hormones can cause some women's hair to grow faster and stop falling out. This is exactly what happened for me. My hair became thick and grew like a weed. Taking prenatal vitamins also helped my hair tremendously. <br />
<br />
That being said, obviously you aren't going to get pregnant just to grow your hair out. So, how can you help your hair grow faster?<br />
<ol><ul>
<li>Take you vitamins! Obviously you need to consult with your doctor before taking new vitamins, but prenatal vitamins and biotin can help your hair grow in healthy and strong.</li>
<li>Eat healthy! Your hair is directly effected by what you put into your body, so take care of yourself! </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Stop getting so many trims. Trimming your hair every 6-8 weeks just continually cuts off the length you've obtain. I know, every hairstylist and their Mom says differently, but its a myth that trims help your hair grow. Your hair grows from the top of your head, not the ends, therefore trims will not promote hair growth. What trims do it cut off any split ends, which helps avoid the split ends from going up the hair shaft and potentially breaking the hair. So, if you are diligently taking care of your hair (avoiding heat and excessive styling, eating healthy, taking vitamins, etc), you shouldn't have as many split ends. <br />That being said, obviously, get a trim if you notice damage or need your hair shaped. Nobody wants fried. split ends or a mullet while growing out a pixie! As a rule, I <i>usually </i>get my hair trimmed every 4-5 months now that my hair is grown out.</li>
</ul>
</ol>

4. Stop stressing and enjoy the ride! Growing out your hair is frustrating and often feels like it will be a million years before you can get your hair into a ponytail, let alone past your collar bone. But, with the caveat of a medical condition, your hair should eventually grow. So enjoy playing and experimenting with your hair in the mean time. Buy some fun accessories, clips and bobby pins and go to town. You can do a lot more then you realize!<br />
I plan on doing a post about in-between hairstyles later, but until then, here are a few pictures for inspiration!<br />

So, after all is said and done, would I cut my hair into a pixie cut again? Yes! Like I said in the beginning of this post, I've cut it into a pixie several times over the years. I LOVE pixie cuts, and think if you want to try one, you absolutely should! Right now I'm so glad to have long hair. I love being able to pull it up into a ponytail, braid it, experiment with different types of buns, or just wear it down. I'm sure sometime down the road I'll cut it all off again, and when I do, I've got the tools to know how to grow it out gracefully!<br />

I dont mean to play into the smart girl stereotype, but come on ya'll! I wear glasses all day err'day, so this is a look I can really relate to. I decided to do a classic pinup with a twist because it looks great with glasses, and playing up your features is the smartest makeup look out there. <br />

<br />
In a classic pinup look, the skin is flawless and pale. Much like Dauntless and Candor, I kept the skin matte with a full coverage foundation and a heavier contour and blush. <br />

<br />
Pinup eyebrows are usually thick and overdraw, but thats not really my style. Glasses frame the face already, and I didnt need my brows competing with my thick frames. So I kept them well defined but light.<br />
<br />

<br />
I used matte shadows to define my crease, and a black liner with a small flick on the eye to accentuate my lashes. To keep in theme with Erudites, who must always wear blue, I used a blue eyeliner on my lower lash line and applied a bright shimmery turquoise blue over top.<br />
<br />

<br />
The lips are the most important part of this look. I lined the lips with a dark purple and then finished it off with a deep red liquid lip color. After, I lined around my lips with a concealer pencil to sharpen any messy edges and define the lips even more.<br />

<br />
I love this look, and wear something similar all the time. In the books, Erudite's are essentially the bad guys, but I think my love of learning would draw me to their faction. I don't think I could spend all my time studying or in front of a computer, but I could spend all day in a library :)<br />
<br />
Would you want to be Erudite?<br />

<i>"...</i><i>the faction dedicated to courage, bravery, and fearlessness. It was
formed by those who blamed fear and therefore, cowardice as a cause of
the problems society faced. It tries to fight cowardice by giving
preparation and the ability to act during fear to its members... The Dauntless value the virtue of bravery over any other, as such they
train to fight and use weapons to prepare their bodies to respond to
threats and challenges, which is necessary if they want to survive life
as a Dauntless member. The faction also emphasizes the idea of freedom
from fear, and test this daily by attempting death-defying feats.
Dauntless members and initiates are the only ones allowed to ride the
train and do so in a daring way; jumping onto and off the train while it
is moving....Dauntless always dress in black. The women wear skin-tight pants,
tights, tight dresses, and black boots and shoes. The men wear black
pants and form-fitting shirts. Dauntless like to tattoo and pierce their
bodies. Girls might wear dark eyeliner and makeup. They might also dye
their hair in unusual colors.</i>" (<a href="http://divergent.wikia.com/wiki/Dauntless" target="_blank">source</a>)<br />

Dauntless aesthetic screams you're stereotypical punk. Crazy colored hair, lots of piercings, tattoos, black leather: the works. In order to keep things fresh, I wanted to avoid the 80's-90's punk rocker connotation by keeping everything streamlined. <br />

I kept the skin matte, applying my face powder with a slightly heavier hand and leaving off highlighter. I also used a cool toned contour shade to carve out my cheek bones, but left my blush extremely light: only using it to avoid looking overly pale.<br />

I felt like a strong brow would have been to much, so I went the
opposite direction and muted them out with concealer. I actually really
loved the look of an extremely light, almost bleached brow. Makes me
feel like Lizabeth Salander. <br />

I liked the idea of doing asymmetrical eyes, keeping one side normal
with just a flick of liner, and the other bold and dramatic. When designing the shape for this eye, I used the images from the Divergent movie poster as inspiration. Most of the tattoos they designed for the cast where tribal, which characteristically are thick, solid black shapes. I used black gel liner to give the shape its intensity, and then covered it with a matte black shadow to seal it.<br />

Lips were tricky for this look. I didn't own a black lipstick, or anything close to black. So, I improvised and used a black eyeliner to line and fill my lips. I then foiled a matte black shadow over the top to create the depth I wanted. Over that, I foiled a dark purple pigment just in the center of the lip for dimension.<br />

Dauntless really appeals to me aesthetically. I'm not a leather fan, but tattoos, piercing and wild colored hair is right up my alley. I am, however, admittedly a wuss, and wouldn't survive past having to jump off a moving train to get to the Dauntless compound. So, I wouldn't even entertain the thought of becoming Dauntless. Call me a chicken. <br />
<br />
Could you be Dauntless?<br />

<i>"Candor was a faction formed by those who blamed duplicity and deception,
who believed that dishonesty is the key fault in human nature which
began evil and war. They believe in the principle that honesty and
openness would lead to a more peaceful and perfect society...Candor are serious about their views on honesty against dishonesty. They
see honesty and trustworthiness as the very foundations of morality and
character. They look upon honest individuals with high respect, and
upon dishonest individuals with deep contempt....Despite their belief in fairness and impartiality, the Candor believe
that the truth is black-and-white, so that is what they wear."</i> (<a href="http://divergent.wikia.com/wiki/Candor" target="_blank">source</a>)<br />
<br />
The stark contrast of black and white- truth and lies, was my inspiration for this makeup. Like Abnegation, I think Candor officals would disapprove of makeup since it can be viewed as 'concealing' one's true self. Nonetheless, I cant pass up an opportunity to flex my creativity and dig deep into a black and white makeup look!<br />

When I started thinking about this makeup, the 60's super model "Twiggy" came to mind. When designing the look, I used her classic cut crease and drawn on lower lashes to keep the eye center focus.<br />

I used a heavier foundation to keep the skin clean and perfected. I also used all matte colors for my skin and eyes, so the only sheen was on the lip. </div>

To keep the white really bright, I used a white creamy base underneath the white eyeshadow, and also lined my lower waterline, lash line and just below the lash line with a white eyeliner. This kept the eyes big and doll like. I drew the lashes underneath the white on the lower lash line by using a fine detail brush with black eyeshadow. I decided against using black liquid liner to do this, as I felt it would be a little to harsh. <br />

A cut crease can be really tricky when using such two contrasting colors. The key is to work from dark to light. I applied the black shadow in the crease, and then used a q-tip to clean my lid before applying the white color. <br />

To keep with the 60's mod vibe, I did a creamy nude mouth. I slightly overdrew my lips, filled them in with a milky nude matte lip color and then added a healthy dose of gloss. I'd wear this nude lip every day if I could. I love this combo. <br />

I wouldn't say I'm a liar by any means, but I don't think I'd do very well in the Candor faction. I think life has a lot of gray areas- so living in a society where gray areas are seen as dishonest seems a little too extreme for my blood. That being said, I would gladly wear black and white every day (I basically do anyways), so that wins Candor a brownie point :)<br />
<br />
Would Candor be the right faction for you?<br />

Amity are the hippy's of the Divergent world. They love music and art, and are the farmers in the Divergent society. Divergents Wiki page describes them as:<i> " the one and only faction dedicated to peacefulness, kindness,
forgiveness, trust, self-sufficiency, and neutrality. Amity was formed
by those who blamed war and fighting for human nature's faults.....As the faction that symbolizes happiness and freedom from human
conflict, members generally wear clothing that is bright and pleasant.
Their attire consists of clothes that are red and yellow." (<a href="http://divergent.wikia.com/wiki/Amity" target="_blank">source</a>)</i><br />
<br />
I wanted to keep a care free and colorful aspect to my makeup, using the factions colors of red and yellow. When I read the first Divergent book, I imagined Amity kids as little barefooted fairies, with sweaty faces from running in the woods and flower crowns on top their messy hair.<br />

Just like with Abnegation, I kept the skin clean by avoiding foundation and focusing on just concealing discoloration and spots.<br />

I used coconut oil on my cheek bones, the bridge of my nose and cupids bow to give an extreme highlight to the skin. A little greasy for everyday wear, but really beautiful on the skin.<br />

I kept the red and yellow color scheme on the eyes, and blended thoroughly to give a soft and airy effect. I felt like black mascara would be to stark, so I applied a white eyelash primer and packed on red loose pigment over top. It was a cheap and effective way of making my own colored mascara!<br />

I finished everything off with extremely glossy lips. Soft, sweet and easy to maintain.<br />
<br />
I really connect with the artistic side of Amity, and could see myself picking it as a faction. Although I think most of my family would probably say I'm a bit to combative to really fit in there ;)<br />
<br />
Would you choose Amity?<br />

But lets be honest, unless you're Irish, St. Patricks Day really just seems like a good reason to wear green. So, in my yearly St. Patricks Day tradition, I picked up the most vibrant green eyeshadows I own and went to town.<br />
<br />
Speaking of vibrant green shadows, I got both the trios I used for under $4! The L.A Colors Trio was $1 at the Dollar Tree, and the Wet'n'Wild Trio was about $3 at CVS. What a steal!<br />

The Divergent Wiki page sums up the Abnegation faction as: <i>Abnegation was formed by those who blamed selfishness for human nature's
errors. They believe in selfless actions and attaining peace through
the elimination of selfishness. By doing so, they choose to completely
forget themselves and only serve others.... Abnegation value the virtue of selflessness over any other. Abnegation
initiates upon attaining membership are forced to reject a life of
vanity and self-indulgence, protecting themselves from greed and envy
which are considered forms of selfishness. Gossiping, using the mirror
for long periods of time and buying luxury items are forbidden. As an
Abnegation, the focus of their lives will be in serving others instead
of themselves, anything done for self-enjoyment is thereby discouraged.
Abnegations are usually very quiet as they don't like to call attention
to themselves and they find joy in helping others.</i><span style="font-size: xx-small;">(<a href="http://divergent.wikia.com/wiki/Abnegation" target="_blank">*</a><a href="http://divergent.wikia.com/wiki/Abnegation" target="_blank">source</a>)</span><br />
<br />
Since Abnegations goal is to serve others and view spending time on yourself as wrong, I wanted to do a "no makeup" makeup look. Doing a perfected no makeup look actually requires quiet a lot of makeup- but if you do it right, no one will know you're wearing any! I dont think the Abnegation officals would approve of spending time on makeup at all, but oh well! Onwards and upwards!<br />

<br />
The secret to a perfect no makeup look is avoiding caking too much on. Instead of using foundation all over the face, I only used concealer to cover any redness, spots, or discoloration.<br />
<br />

<br />
I used a setting powder over just the areas on my face where there was a bit of shine, and then used a soft blush to give my cheeks some color.<br />

<br />
For the eyes I applied a nude cream shadow to even my skin tone and hide any veins that show through the thin skin. I used a brown eyeshadow on the lash line and a nude pencil on my waterline to brighten my eyes. I topped everything off with one coat of black mascara. I lightly filled in my brows, because, well, lets face it- my brows are almost nonexistent on their own.<br />
<br />

<br />
I finished off the look with using a nude lip pencil to give a little definition to my lips and topped it with a lip balm. <br />
<br />
<br />
I love that Abnegation is about selflessness and using ones energy to serve others. Its a beautiful sacrifice. However, I'm far to self absorbed to chose Abnegation as my faction- I dont think I could give up yummy food, music, movies or duh, makeup!<br />
<br />
Do you think you would choose Abnegation? What would you miss most if you did?<br />

The Divergent trilogy by Veronica Roth has become one of my favorite new series. The books are set in a dystopian future Chicago, were society is split into 5 factions: Abnegation, Amity, Candor, Dauntless and Erudite. Each faction has a specific attribute they uphold and therefore have very unique esthetics. With the movie coming out on March 21st, I thought it would be really fun to create some makeup looks based on the 5 factions. I'll be posting one every day leading up to the release of the movie, starting with Abnegation (The Selfless) tomorrow!<br />
<br />
Are you going to see the movie? With Emmy still being so little, its hard to get out to see movies. But we're going to TRY to see Divergent next month. It will be the first movie we've seen since Baby Girl was born, so I'll probably feel like a Depression Era kid using 25cents to see one of those 'moving picture shows' :)<br />

On it she told me I had to create a makeup look based off the colors of this gorgeous bird. Its taken me years to do it, but here is my take!<br />
<br />
I couldn't decide whether to go soft or dramatic with this, so, I did both. Boom. I used the exact same products for both looks, just different application techniques. In order to make the eyeshadows more dramatic, I foiled them- which is a technique where you use the shadow wet. Foiling your eyeshadow really does make a huge difference with the opacity and brightness. Foiling loose shadow works best, as moisture can damage pressed shadows. You can use a liquid specifically designed for foiling, a face setting spray, or even just eye drops. Place a little of the liquid on your brush, and pick up the shadow. Apply and BE AMAZED!<br />
<br />
On to the looks!<br />
<br />

The soft version: <br />

This past Wednesday I felt like using some dramatic colors in a not so dramatic way, so a soft cut crease was in order! This color combo always reminds me of purple Irises, which makes me feel like Spring is just around the corner! To bad there is over 3 inches of snow on the ground, with more coming down!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
My little baby turned 6 months on the 7th. Its hard to believe that its been that long. In some ways it feels like
it just happened yesterday. In other ways, it seems like its been years. My
life has changed so much. Less than a week before Emery was born, I was working
for Corporate America, slaving my days away in front of a computer. Now I’m
hardly ever on the computer and I have to force myself to crack it open more
than a few times a week. I used to live for the time I had off and relished my
lunch breaks and weekends since I could do whatever I wanted to (which primarily
was napping). Now my ‘breaks’ are when baby girl is asleep and are filled with
chores and caring for my home. My work day used to consist of emails and
meetings, paper work and data entry. Now, my day consists of 24/7 baby duty (a
lot of DOOTY if you get my drift), and all the things that come with keeping a
well maintained home. Instead of surfing Pinterest for decoration ideas or makeup inspiration, I’m looking for recipes on how to make baby food. Life has made a 180 degree turn. It really has been a dream come true to be with my little one!<br />
<br />
<br />
My little baby has grown so much. I cant wait to see who she'll become! Most days she's a happy little sprite who flashes you her cheesy grin whenever you give her a smile. She's rolling all around, which gets her into a lot of trouble, because she often gets stuck under furniture! She's eating veggies and loving them, and would probably try to scarf down Mommy and Daddy's food if we let her!<br />

Valentines day is just around the corner, and its a perfect time to whip out a dramatic, sultry look!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Start with applying eye primer. This will keep the eyeshadows from creasing and the colors vibrant.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Apply a light gray shadow all over the lid and blend it thoroughly. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3NFqEh1nvtUGW94uZ6tGD4XMSkRXeoPxYPoNzEwjC8t4hQ3z8hVzXGhtg30XEWyT8o13T30RwmNBQWeDU5Te9iSR_jvQ7pzHGQTseeFuOrnyHG2CNHk5oLlTGvR2SYvhTnkFD-17LMB6K/s1600/20140131_122909.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3NFqEh1nvtUGW94uZ6tGD4XMSkRXeoPxYPoNzEwjC8t4hQ3z8hVzXGhtg30XEWyT8o13T30RwmNBQWeDU5Te9iSR_jvQ7pzHGQTseeFuOrnyHG2CNHk5oLlTGvR2SYvhTnkFD-17LMB6K/s1600/20140131_122909.jpg" height="153" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Add a dark gray shadow into the crease and blend. I know, it looks like a hot mess, but just keep going, it gets better!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Add a black shadow into the crease, but keep it concentrated just in
the outer "V". Use a matte skin toned shadow to blend the edges of the
crease.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
5. Pack on a bright silver shadow on the inner corner of the eye, and
blend it softly on the lid- avoiding the crease area. Then add black
winged liner!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
6. Use the dark gray shadow under the lower lashes, and the bright silver on the inner 1/3 of the lower lash line. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

7. Apply a black liner into the lower waterline.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

8. Apply several coats of mascara on the top and bottom lashes!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

The beauty of makeup is that it can be used in a number of ways to play up your features, create illusions and add extra oomph where needed. In the pictures above, I've done a few key things that make my eye appear either smaller or larger- simply with the placement, color and location of my makeup. All eye shapes are beautiful and whether small or larger, your eyes are the windows to your soul. If you want to play up your eyes and make them bigger and brighter, take a look at these do's and donts!<br />
<br />
Do:<br />
<ul>
<li>Use light colors all over the lid. </li>
<li>Create a soft crease with diffused colors.</li>
<li> Line your water line with a flesh toned or white pencil.</li>
<li>Highlight your brow bone and tear duct area.</li>
<li>Curl your eyelashes.</li>
<li>Line your upper lashes 2/3's of the way in. </li>
<li>Softly define the lower lash line.</li>
<li>Fill in your eyebrows as arched (but natural) as possible.</li>
</ul>
<br />
Don't:<br />
<ul>
<li>Pack on dark shadows </li>
<li>Keep the color all on your lid.</li>
<li>Use a dark pencil in your water line.</li>
<li>Line your upper lashline all the way to your tear duct. </li>
<li>Use harsh and dark shadow or pencil on the lower lash line.</li>
<li>Fill in your eyebrows straight across.<br />.</li>
</ul>
Just remember that the darker the eye makeup, the more likely it is to shrink your eyes. If your goal is to have the doe eye'd look, keep things light and lifted!<br />
<br />
*****************************************************************************************************************<br />
<br />
Heres a step by step of what I did to create the bigger, brighter eye look!<br />
<br />
<br />
1. Prime your eye with your primer of choice.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-9xSw4o0m9_hcFGyh2Y4sdxHTg1epg5AxJgqk_V9ogssfQlDirXvZa8KyfEjmueUl-6EGyTbcx0L1TqL8GP2zpI88bi6ne83urexvJbWijDh9NRxyLBPKtupBTI-ZA93p3onrjLCrND2V/s1600/2014-01-27+15.02.10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-9xSw4o0m9_hcFGyh2Y4sdxHTg1epg5AxJgqk_V9ogssfQlDirXvZa8KyfEjmueUl-6EGyTbcx0L1TqL8GP2zpI88bi6ne83urexvJbWijDh9NRxyLBPKtupBTI-ZA93p3onrjLCrND2V/s1600/2014-01-27+15.02.10.jpg" height="293" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
2. Highlight your brow bone and tear duct with a shadow 2-3 shades lighter then your skin tone.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgt6LXhjVuAFFMuZbH5iz6-vqhB0pFNim3S7N9-mIfUjkM7HBV2kF4VJ24vAjujDKVOXCZf1vx78oCNsPO2-xjR-NasUbGbVXBUaz12Exg4X7t6J5gHMNHyLfPPMLfxQ-kAKozibMpC1hD/s1600/2014-01-27+15.02.34.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgt6LXhjVuAFFMuZbH5iz6-vqhB0pFNim3S7N9-mIfUjkM7HBV2kF4VJ24vAjujDKVOXCZf1vx78oCNsPO2-xjR-NasUbGbVXBUaz12Exg4X7t6J5gHMNHyLfPPMLfxQ-kAKozibMpC1hD/s1600/2014-01-27+15.02.34.jpg" height="316" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
3. Apply a shimmery, light shadow all over the lid.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYRPjK90N399STVGihGjYOrIFXXpS9XBzB1QgfhZ7goL8IgmC4alAGJRAUx7qcA9IvEtzxxi_dlRyFG3wQjheuYDyi6F_ykyFcnMv4MPpgOeHU2WVOQy6j9tk82P3Xpt8QNog17l8WPcBw/s1600/2014-01-27+15.02.56.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYRPjK90N399STVGihGjYOrIFXXpS9XBzB1QgfhZ7goL8IgmC4alAGJRAUx7qcA9IvEtzxxi_dlRyFG3wQjheuYDyi6F_ykyFcnMv4MPpgOeHU2WVOQy6j9tk82P3Xpt8QNog17l8WPcBw/s1600/2014-01-27+15.02.56.jpg" height="314" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
4. Define the crease by applying medium toned shadow, and blend thoroughly. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1CCRARJEJIpB2F4ooUV7TVNmaFAubbdeymMwLhNdOkkbNF2zELDgvQvw8l79wT81eJekI54eEDf6htasAC4yExO87bWMzFc8DhY4mhBV3ObJL1aUGrKsvtDw5PFwnkC1xEw7sB8a2_d6F/s1600/2014-01-27+15.03.40.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1CCRARJEJIpB2F4ooUV7TVNmaFAubbdeymMwLhNdOkkbNF2zELDgvQvw8l79wT81eJekI54eEDf6htasAC4yExO87bWMzFc8DhY4mhBV3ObJL1aUGrKsvtDw5PFwnkC1xEw7sB8a2_d6F/s1600/2014-01-27+15.03.40.jpg" height="311" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
5. Use a dark shadow to create a soft, winged eyeliner. Only apply the liner to the outer 2/3's of your eye.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPT82EvCtdujY7PiPSmUGU9aslSHUTmiAB-NMLQH2tbxyj5wz0gTLdc5fvY8RuZvB48GDyPL2zsH8dFfnSFjZWmTxP3E3qQSN9d5Xz_SkATFjh8hZAWZtRRu-kXqr2tIWWvH_5ZE7y1kWj/s1600/2014-01-27+15.04.21.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPT82EvCtdujY7PiPSmUGU9aslSHUTmiAB-NMLQH2tbxyj5wz0gTLdc5fvY8RuZvB48GDyPL2zsH8dFfnSFjZWmTxP3E3qQSN9d5Xz_SkATFjh8hZAWZtRRu-kXqr2tIWWvH_5ZE7y1kWj/s1600/2014-01-27+15.04.21.jpg" height="310" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
6. Use a skin toned eyeliner pencil in your waterline. Apply the same mid toned shadow that was used in the crease on the lower lash line.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKTszfEfQVKnnG97A6_Hov_KTzyeJylAOd2vT8VwtqiOUqGPQyDQf3TBMdBc8wCjaF_PjjfqY4aH35LCwwhys7dyK4YD5cLic2KdxFVA6_T2mQv-IOTjf4ZdWGddRdsfZVJofyNYhaCD5o/s1600/2014-01-27+15.05.43.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKTszfEfQVKnnG97A6_Hov_KTzyeJylAOd2vT8VwtqiOUqGPQyDQf3TBMdBc8wCjaF_PjjfqY4aH35LCwwhys7dyK4YD5cLic2KdxFVA6_T2mQv-IOTjf4ZdWGddRdsfZVJofyNYhaCD5o/s1600/2014-01-27+15.05.43.jpg" height="313" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
7. Curl your lashes and apply plenty of mascara!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzrF_9h4gU8Iv7Cz91JMJnnLfe6kPl2DwjGPPRD_EqHJk5NSAdaG1BfScVBuP9ZOOZqvmpidA0SKE1TUHqpaFuBiqKPg8y4Lh9tTx6qmP2veKXWexdZ8_nahmCpiaMJjvr4fNIgsDGb089/s1600/2014-01-27+15.06.15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzrF_9h4gU8Iv7Cz91JMJnnLfe6kPl2DwjGPPRD_EqHJk5NSAdaG1BfScVBuP9ZOOZqvmpidA0SKE1TUHqpaFuBiqKPg8y4Lh9tTx6qmP2veKXWexdZ8_nahmCpiaMJjvr4fNIgsDGb089/s1600/2014-01-27+15.06.15.jpg" height="320" width="305" /></a></div>
<br />
To add extra drama to this look, you can apply the dark shadow used for eyeliner in your crease. Smoke it out by blending it in the outer 'V' of your eye.<br />

I haven't done a colorful look in a long time, so it felt good to let my creativity flow and see what happened! </span><br />

I have a ton of old makeup looks that I thought might give some inspiration to anyone looking for something new to try. Most of the pictures are from my phone, so I'm sorry if they arent good quality. If you see anything you'd like me to recreate, let me know in the comments!<br />

Its that time of year! There's always a party, get together or fancy occasion to get dressed up for. Its easy to feel like you have to go over board with your makeup when you're wanting to impress- but a fancy event isn't the time to experiment with makeup. Keeping it classic and timeless takes the stress out of getting ready. Here is an easy pinup look that will last through dancing, drinking, eating and smoozing the night away!<br />

When doing a classic pinup look, its important to have as flawless of a base as you can. I tried to pay extra attention to covering any blemishes and redness, especially around my nose and mouth. After your base is complete, fill in your eyebrows as usual. Its tempting to overdo your brows with pinup makeup, but I think its important to do your brows the way that best suites your face!</div>

<br />After completing my base, I applied an eyeshadow primer all over my eyelid to prevent my eyeshadow from creasing. I then swept a matte cream colored eyeshadow from the lid to brow bone.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
I then used a mid-toned brown in the crease and blended it thoroughly. The goal of the brown shadow is to create the illusion of a contour under the brow bone, so keeping the color concentrated, but defused creates a more natural appearance. <br />

<br />
Using a black eyeshadow on a thin angled brush, I lined my upper lash line and created a small flick. You can darken the line further by adding more shadow, or a gel liner on top. I added gel liner on top, but kept to soft to avoid a harsh line.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
To complete the eyeshadow, I added a matte white shadow to my brow bone, and a shimmery champagne shadow by my tear duct. Keeping the highlight near the brow bone matte keeps things classic, while using the shimmy shadow near the tear duct really opens up the eyes and keeps them fresh.<br />

The eyeshadow is all done! Wasn't that easy? Now all that's needed is lots of mascara on the top lashes. I chose to keep the bottom lashes without mascara, but feel free to coat those babies too! If I was going to a fancy party, I'd also apply false lashes. But unless you're confident in applying them, false lashes can often be stressful- and no one needs that right before a big event!<br />

Bold lip colors often show ever lip imperfection- especially if they are dried and chapped. 5-10 minutes before you plan on applying your lip color, put on some lip balm. After the balm has had time to sink in, use a q-tip to exfoliate the lips. Just rub the q-tip back and forth over the lips, and you'll start to see the dead skin slough off. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Once your lips are exfoliated, use your foundation to create a base for your lip color. Not only does it prep the lips for the color, but it also helps your lip color last longer! Lip liner also helps your lip color last- and can help avoid lipstick from feathering into fine lines. I used a color close to my lipstick color, but you can also use a clear lip liner if you want.<br />

After lip liner, apply your lipstick. Pick a shade that you feel most confident and comfortable in. Remember you'll be wearing it while drinking and eating, so if you are a little apprehensive, try a sheer formula.<br />
I applied my lipstick straight from the bullet, but using a lip brush will give you a more precise application. Once you've applied one layer, blot your lips and apply another layer. Layering your lip color helps create a stain on your lips, which gives you a lot more staying power! To finish off the lips, clean up the edges with concealer!<br />

Now that you have your lip color on, you can assess your face and decide what contour, blush and highlight is needed. I felt like I looked a little pale, so I contoured my face up with the same mid-tone brown eyeshadow I used in my eye crease. I then applied a rose colored cream blush to the outer half of the apples of my cheeks. To keep the face fresh, I also applied a shimmery highlight to my cheek bones, cupids bow and the bridge of my nose.<br />

When wearing an intense lip color, its important to adjust your blush so you dont look washed out. I added a layer of pink blush on top of the cream blush to brighten my face.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Adele's makeup is always gorgeous. Dramatic cat eye, big lashes and pouty lips is her staple look. When I saw this picture of Adele on the October 2011 Vogue UK cover, I fell in love. Its her classic look, just amped up.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I decided it would be fun to see if I could recreate this look, or at least the best I could. I dont know what products the makeup artist used, so I just use colors that looked similar to the photograph. All the products I used will be listed down below- but if you want to try this look for yourself, use whatever you have on hand!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Now its time for liner. You can map out where you want your cat eye to go with a dark brown shadow, that way if you make a mistake its easily wiped away. The key is to make sure both eyes match in length and angle. You can achieve this by looking straight ahead into a mirror when applying your liner, then use small strokes to plan out the line. Keep checking to make sure both eyes look the same!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I contoured my face using a taupe brown matte eyeshadow, and then applied a small about of bronzer on my forehead and temples. I used a light pink blush towards the outer part of my cheek and blended it with my contour. I applied a champagne cream eyeshadow as my highlight along my cheekbones, brow bone and the inner corner of my eye.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Adele is wearing an extremely nude lip, which can show every bit of flacky, dry skin. So, I exfoliated my lips and made sure they were moisturized before applying foundation over the lips. Foundation creates a blank canvas by taking out any natural redness in the lip. I lined the lips with a beige lip liner, applied a creamy nude lipstick, and then added a bit of pink lip gloss just to the center of the lower lip.</span></span></div>

<![endif]-->Anyone who knows me knows I’m a huge makeup lover. And when
I say huge, I mean HUGE. I love everything about makeup- from the planning of a
look to the application. When I became a Mom and decided to stay at home with my
daughter, I knew the freedom to express my adventurous side in makeup was going
to be a bit stifled. Taking 30 minutes to create a detailed smoky eye just
didn’t make sense anymore. Not only was it unnecessary for a normal day at
home, but it was a frivolous waste of time when I had more important things to
do. However, just because I’m a stay-at-home-mom now doesn’t mean I should give
up makeup, nor does it mean I should relent to a ho-hum makeup routine. It just
means I have to become a little more creative in how I apply it and save the
extravagant stuff for special occasions.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So, over the past 3 months of being at home with my baby,
I’ve come across some ways to get high impact looks with minimal effort and
time. Some days I only grab one of these tips and focus on it, other days I
grab them all. Since I’m at the mercy of my 3 month old, it really all depends
on the amount of time I have. But really, you could do all of these things in under 10 minutes.<br />
<br />
<i>I usually start out my makeup with a BB cream, which is a super quick way to even out your skin tone. I also will put a bit of concealer under my eyes and on blemishes if need be. I'll sweep some powder over top and my base is complete!</i></div>

<b>1. Eyes:</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Cream shadows</b>—long wear cream shadows (like Maybelline Color
Tattoos) are the easiest way to get color without taking a lot of time. You can
use your fingers to apply the shadow, or a brush: either way the secret is to
buff the edges so there are no harsh lines. You can use bright, sheer or even
dramatic colors to create quick smoky looks. Its up to you!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Using shadow as liner</b>—Using a dark shadow color (charcoal,
brown or even black)on an angled brush to darken the lash line does wonders. It
is the quickest way to apply liner I know of and is one of the most forgiving.
If you make a mistake, you can just buff it out with a Q-tip. If you want more
drama, you can slightly dampen your brush with water or eye drops and then
apply your shadow. It intensifies the shadow, making it almost the consistency
of a cake or gel liner.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b> Lashes</b>—I cant
stress this enough- CURL YOUR LASHES! You will be amazed at how it
opens the eyes. Not to mention it will help fool people into thinking you got 8
hours of sleep instead of 3. Mascara is another must in my book. Using good
black mascara will draw attention to your eyes without much effort. </div>

<b>Bright lip color</b>—It only takes a minute to slap on lipstick.
Why not pick out a fun color while you’re at it? You can easily create a stain
with your lipstick if you don’t feel like dealing with the upkeep of wearing
lipstick full on. Use your finger to rub the color into your lips and then blot
it afterwards. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Balm or gloss in fun color</b>—Tons of companies make sheer, bright lip colors in
moisturizing formulas now. Its an easy way to use fun colors without worrying
about feeling overdone. Plus, since they are sheer and moisturizing, you don’t
have to worry about your lip color rubbing off onto little baby cheeks :)</div>

coral blush is the fastest way to bring life and youth to your skin.</div>

Being a Mom doesn’t mean you have to forget about having fun
with your makeup. I think its important to take a little time, even just 5
minutes, to freshen yourself up before you face the day. For me, having a
splash of makeup on just makes the rest of the day feel a little more pulled
together- even if all I’m doing is changing poopy diapers!<span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"></span></span>
