Fall 2013 Red Eye Makeup Trend

This Fall, red based plum eye shadows were seen  on almost all of the runways. This fall you may want to incorporate this shade into your daily makeup, but don't it to be too harsh. Here are some ideas of how to get the on-trend plum eye, but in a classy, and minimalist way.

Mix the Textures:
Mixing/layering different textures will make the red toned eye makeup more wearable. For example using shimmery cream shadow all over your lid, and then layering a matte shadow in the crease and outer corner.

OR

 Try just wearing a dampened plum red eyeshadow as a liner, or a light wash over your lids.

If you are planning on going full out and bold on your eyes, make sure  to keep your skin and lips very light, so as not to have them fighting for focus.

Jessie's Picks:

Stila Magnificent Metals Foil Finish Eye Shadow in Metallic Merlot
Make Up For Ever Aqua Liner in #11
Covergirl Smokey Shadowblast in Purple Plume
Flower Colour Play Eyeshadow in Awesome Blossom
Nars Eyeshadow in New York

Fab February: Anna Edwin Makeup

Anna Edwin is a Norwegian blogger. She began her blog in 2009 and she blogs about everything from hair to bowling (well maybe not actually bowling). Her hair and makeup is always flawless, nice and bronzed.  So I thought it would be perfect for spring and to warm us all up. If you want to check out Anna's blog click  here  (her blog is obviously in Norwegian so you'll have to press the translate button). I searched her blog and tried to use the same products that she does. Let's get started on her makeup look! Face: 1. Start with your favourite face primer.

Whatever Wednesdays: Victoria Beckham Hair How-To

  Victoria Beckham Ponytail: With her long dark brown hair, Victoria Beckham's hairstyle of choice has become the ponytail. This style is quick, and ultra chic. 1. Start with day-old hair (or even if you are starting with freshly washed hair) and spritz with a volumizing dry shampoo. 2. Pull your hair back with your fingers, smoothing over any stray hairs. 3. Once you have your ponytail in the desired place, fasten with a hair tie. 4. Take your straightener and run it over the ends of your ponytail, to give it a sleek effect. 5. Add a tiny dot of shine serum to the ends. Simply rub the serum between your palms, and run your hands over the end of your ponytail. Voila! Tu es fini, and you have a simple and chic hairdo. xx JD Please leave me a comment let me know what you think!  If you have any questions or suggestions: Email me: jessicadonna96@gmail.com

Throwback Everyday Makeup Tutorial

Hello everyone! If you know me, you'll know that I have a slight makeup problem... I have way too much! But I can't help it, I just love it so, and I honestly look forward to putting my makeup on every morning. So today I decided I would do a quick post on my fave go to glam look for daytime. It looks quite heavy, but because I'm using mineral makeup it feels like I'm wearing no face makeup at all! My skin is quite sensitive and dry, so for the longest time I thought that mineral makeup wouldn't work for my skin, but boy was I wrong! I was at Winners recently and saw that they had a couple Bellapierre Cosmetics mineral makeup sets on sale for $14... So I thought I'd try it out, and now I can never go back to regular liquid foundations! Mineral makeup is considered to be better for your skin as it is natural, and usually only contains 3-4 natural ingredients. Bellapierre foundation has an SPF of 15 which can cause a little bit of flashback, so if ...
