My Eyeshadow Make-up Secrets

So like always I watch makeup tutorials and try to find new things I can do. Something that I watched that I surprising have been liking is using my blush and bronzer as an eyeshadow. I find that since I am blonde darker eyeshadows don't look as good on me so I decided to try using blush and bronzer. I do have a mac eyeshadow that is really similar to my bronzer but it's good to know that if I can't find my mac eyeshadow I can just use my bronzer! It has been a really good natural look. First i'll put my blush in the crease of my eye and i'll use a bigger blending brush that way it ends up going on very soft and blended. Then i'll take my bronzer and focus it more in the crease of my eye to give it more depth. Then I will pop a creamy white color in my inner crease and lower half of my lid. I will also put both of those colors underneath of my eye. (Where my bottom eyelashes are) I'll use the same bigger blending brush for the underneath also. Lastly i'll pop on some eyeliner and wing it out depending on if i'm using a black or brown eyeliner. Sometimes I prefer using a golden brown eyeliner. Put on some mascara and finish the rest of your face and you're all set!!

Hello loves!! It has been a while since I've posted! Today I for got to do a super fun photo shoot! The photographer is the creator of theirstorysofar.com! So check out his site!! I loved being able to work with the style he had. He told me he gets a lot of his inspiration from tumblr so I enjoyed being part of his little photography ideas! We started off by going to an abandoned house, it was very worn down and ended up making for some good shots! The second location was a laundry mat! I thought that was a cute fun idea! We ended up coming up with a lot of cute things in there! Overall it was a super fun shoot and I look forward to seeing his work in the future! *Most of my clothes in this shoot are from Stella and Khloe Kalifornia! Xo, Chloe<3
 

Make-up tutorials

Here are some tutorials that I have watched that help inspire me when I do my makeup! I know she suggests a lot of eyeshadows but for the most part I use eye shadow pallets I already have. However I try to use colors that are most similar to hers. So heres a few videos that are super helpful to me! Also, the brushes she uses are all must buys!! They make your eyeshadow go on so much better. xo!!

Contouring (My Way)

Someone requested I do a contouring tutorial so I thought I'd show everyone the way I do it! I filtered the photos so the bronzer I apply to my face would be easier to see. I put together a second collage so you can visually see where to apply what. First I apply my primer, foundation, and face powder. Then I'll take my pro long wear concealer by mac and apply it under my eyes down to my cheek bones. As well as the middle of my forehead and chin. I feel like its most affective when I blend the concealer out with my finger. After I blend out my concealer I'll add  "mineralized skinfinish" in "light" by mac on top of the areas I added concealer. I would recommend having the powder because it helps the concealer from creasing. On top of the powder I'll add my Mac mineralize skin finish in "soft and gentle" I put it on my cheek bones & on my nose. It helps give you more of a glowing, dewy look. After that you can already see the darker and lighter areas of my face which helps when applying bronzer. I'll then add Hoola bronzer by benefit right under my cheek bones, the sides of my forehead, and the top of my forehead. It might feel weird to put bronzer on your forehead but I promise it makes a difference for the better. Lastly I'll add a soft pink blush to the apple of my cheeks. Voilaaa! I'm not saying this is the right way to do it, but it's just the way I do it! hope it helps! xo!

J-Crew Neck & Ear Candy

New Years and Christmas always means wearing something that's a showstopper that'll have you be turning heads all night. Instead of wearing a dress full of sequins wearing a statement necklace can be just enough glitz for the holiday season. I lucked out and went to J-Crew on black friday when they were having a %50 off sale! I was in heaven guys. Each necklace from there is usually around $50 but I got them for around $25! If anyone got those deals props to you cause they were fabulousssss!
Although they aren't doing that sale anymore you can still go out and get their sparkling necklaces. J-Crew necklaces are my favorite because they aren't as cheap looking and they always look so classy. Here are a few things I grabbed that I have not stopped wearing since I bought and surprisingly go with so many outfits I put together!! xo!

Ulta Perfume Deal!

So like always I was going to buy a new Viva La Juicy bottle (since i'm obsessed with it) and I found they have two deals going! When you buy Juicy Couture perfume it comes with thee cutest hot pink bag!! You also get a free robe when you buy a fragrance purchase of $40 or more!! So I'd def say this was a score...

Must Have Primer!

I have been going through a few different face primers and I stumbled upon this beauty!! I LOVE that it is a pore filler and primer all in one. It also has a little bit of a tint to it so if you were going for a make-up less day but you still wanted soft skin, you could just put this on and you're ready to go! It is so so soft on my skin. I wish I could own a bucket of it. Although I love it, I do think it is overpriced for how much product you get. I do recommend you try this at least once because it is just that amazing. You can find it at Ulta!! xo!
