Who else LOVED Beyonce’s fierce smokey eye for her Super Bowl 2013 Halftime Show?! She looked absolutely amazing!! I’ve actually been wanting to pair a dark shadow with gold liner for a while, so this seemed like the perfect opportunity. I couldn’t wait to get a tutorial up, so I hope y’all enjoy my take…

UD Naked Palette: Pretty Smoky Eye
Happy February!! On one of my last Naked Palette tutorials, I got a request to create a look using Gunmetal and Creep. These two shadows are gorgeous and seemingly simple to work into a look, but they don’t easily go with the other colors in this palette. I was really wishing I had Pistol from…
Back to Basics: Everyday Contouring & Highlighting
For those of us who were not blessed with beautifully angled faces, contouring and highlighting can make a huge difference in our appearance. As I instructed in this in depth video, this technique helps you slim down those cheeks, straighten your nose, and shrink your forehead. While I think this extremely detailed way of contouring…
UD Vice Palette: Nikki Reed Look
I love doing celeb-inspired looks!! We all flip through magazines, see pictures of our favorite stars looking glamorous, and wish we could get their look too. So this is a recreation of this Nikki Reed look I found. I love this look for work or school because it’s a great day-to-night, neutral eye with a…
How to: Get Ready In a Hurry
This post is dedicated to that moment when you look at the clock and realize that you’ve only got 15 minutes to get your butt out the door. If you’re anything like me (Type A, and ever so slightly OCD), then that moment causes sheer panic. If I didn’t have this routine to fall back…

UD Vice Palette: Dusty Purple Daytime Look
Oh my, I think I should’ve made a NY’s resolution about not getting behind on my blog posts. Yikes. Okay, I’m back. No more getting behind…starting now!! The Vice Palette can look so intimidating with all of its super bright colors, but it’s my mission to show you that these colors are totally and completely…
Vice Palette: Christmas Look
In this tutorial, I use a few of the gorgeous Vice Palette shades to make a lovely Christmas look that’s perfect for the holidays. Just using Junkie, the jewel tone green, would have been pretty, but not necessarily Christmasy. It would be very reminiscent of some of the looks I did using my Smoked Palette…
Bachelorette Ashley’s Wedding Makeup
Who else watched Ashley marry J.P on Sunday night? I’m not going to lie, their wedding had me in tears a couple of times. I adore them together and I had J.P picked out for her on night one of The Bachelorette!! She is just so cute and bubbly, and I love how she’s not…
Urban Decay Vice Palette: Armored Desperation
It’s taken me forever to get up the links and details for my first Vice Palette tutorial, Armored Desperation, which is so named for the two starring shadows. I created a similar look to this one when I first got the palette and then my mom created this look and sent me a picture. She…
