Eye Makeup-1/23/15

I decided that every couple days (or just when I feel like it), I'm going to post makeup looks that I have done on myself. Sometimes they will be looks that I imitated from other people, and sometimes they will be looks that I created. I will also give step-by-step tutorials on how to create these looks so you can try them yourself.

Yesterday, I imitated a dramatic eye makeup look that I found on Pinterest.


Makeup used:
-White or light cream colored eyeshadow
-Black eyeshadow
-Dark purple eyeshadow (optional)
-Gold eyeshadow
-Brown or maroon eyeshadow
-Black eyeliner pencil
-Black liquid eyeliner

This is the look I was going for:


And this is how it turned out on me:




I also used light powder on my face and nude colored lipstick.


*Note: The first picture I used from Pinterest is part of a bigger post that can be found at http://www.redbookmag.com/beauty/makeup-skincare/advice/g532/applying-eyeshadow/ . Those pictures and that website are not mine.

3 Fashion Websites I Love

Since I really love fashion-related things and I'm sure a lot of other people do too, I thought I would share with you my three favorite fashion websites. They are all really good creative outlets and good ways to meet other people that love fashion too.

Stardoll:


The first, and my favorite website is Stardoll. I have been a member of this website since around 2007 and it has really helped get my creativeness flowing. On Stardoll you have your own virtual person called a medoll along with a profile page and a suite.


You can also buy clothes, hair, makeup, and decor for your suite. Stardoll has a lot of different clothing brands (some of them are real life brands like Nelly, Chanel, Tommy Hilfiger, and Dolce and Gabanna), and they are always updating their stores so you never run out of clothing options.


Besides being able to dress up your medoll and decorate your suite, you can also create your own clothes, hair, and interior, and meet other Stardoll users.


Polyvore:


Another great website is Polyvore. On Polyvore you get to create your own looks using actual clothing items. Basically it is a collage-like website. These are some outfits I've made:





There is also a shopping feature of Polyvore where you can buy clothes from the outfits you've made.



Covet Fashion:

Covet Fashion is a mobile app that you can download. Like Polyvore, the clothes on this app are real-life clothes but instead of putting them in a collage, you put together outfits that you enter into contests. If you get enough stars on an outfit in a contest, you could win things like virtual clothing items or virtual money to buy more clothes.


You can also vote on other users' looks that they have entered into contests. 



Feel free to tell me what your favorite fashion and beauty websites are, I am always looking for new websites to join.
