Holiday Glitter makeup tutorial

Hi Everyone,
 I know it's been a long time since I've uploaded a video to Youtube, but with my busy schedule it's almost impossible to sit and edit long tutorials so I've decided I can create mini video tutorials and upload these more frequently.  If you enjoy these and would like more please give me a thumbs up.

In this look I used the following:

Mac: A natural flirt Bare Minerals: Amazing Amanda BFTE: Addicted True Colors pigments: Earth Sugar Glitter: Rosalena

Day 25 Glitter and Glam Challenge

Day 25 Merry christmas. Here was my Christmas look. I filmed a quick instagram tutorial between cooking the Chicken for and Mac N Cheese for Christmas dinner.

For this look I used Luces de oro Sugar Glitter one of my faves and most complimented glitters which also happens to be the color of the month, along with Inglot eyeshadows, Lorac Contour palette and Stila All day Lip Color in Caramelo and Mandarin Lights lip glaze.

Day 24 Glitter and Glam Challenge TBT

Day 24. Well, it's Christmas eve and Throwback Thursday so, in honor of both I am posting one of my favorite Christmas designs... Santa mom err, uh I mean Santa Claus ;)  This was  painted 2 years ago (yes I was a bit chubbier, haha which actually makes this Santa look about right ) and I still paint it the same way. I can't say that for many of my designs which have evolved over the years.

 I used  Azucar and Beso Glitter on Santa's Hat. If you would like to learn how to paint this design you can watch the video tutorial on my youtube channel.  I will post the video tutorial down below.

Watch the tutorial here...

 I hope you have a very Merry Christmas Eve.

Glittery New Years Eve makeup tutorial

It's been a very long time since I have made a makeup tutorial for you so here is my last one of the year. I do hope you will enjoy it and make 2012 your year to sparkle and shine.....


1.We begin this look by adding a base to lock in your shadow for the rest of the night with "Cockerspaniel" from Bare Minerals. You can use a synthetic or natural haired brush for this. It really is your preferance.

 2. I have taken an off white shadow with a small amount of shimmer and added it to the inner corner of my eyes and just below the brow bone. Then, I used a silver shadow all over my lid but, not where I added the white.I used a small flat shadow brush to smooth it all out.

3. Now, I have added a bit of "smut" eyeshadow from Mac and mixed it with a rosey mauve eyeshadow from Lancome and have begun to define the outer corners of my eyes with a 217 or blending eyeshadow brush.

4. With the same brush I added a small amount of "carbon" black eyeshadow from Mac in the crease of my eye to create more definition then lined my eyes with a flat liner brush and the same shadow. Next, I added a bit of Duo glue to my lids where I wanted the glitter to stick. With my finger I patted on the silver rainbow glitter.

5. With a small lining brush and "blacktrack" gel liner from Mac I lined my eyes and rimmed them to create a more dramatic, defined line. It is important to do this AFTER you add the glitter or the glitter will stick to your eyeliner and it will look gray.

 

Here are the eyes after curling my lashes and applying false lash strips with a coat of mascara....

 6. Finally I finished off this look by adding a pretty pink blush "Escape and Lovely" from Bare Minerals, Highlighter in "Gossemer" from Bare Minerals to my cheek bones and down my nose and add a pinky nude lip with NYX lip liner in "Mauve", Lipstick from Revlon in "Pearl Pink" and lipgloss from Stila in "Kalidescope".

If you enjoyed this look please let me know by leaving a comment below. I may start making makeup tutorials as well as face painting tutorials in the New Year. Time to do something new.
 Have a safe and sparkly New Years eve!

Glittery love and New Years wishes,
Shawna

Stila Holiday Lipglaze set Review

As most of you may know I am a lip gloss fanatic! I LOVE lipgloss and am very particular about the glosses I'll use and/or add to my kit. Stila lipglaze is a hit for me!

Here is what I love about these:

1.They are for the most part sheer and shimmery wth the exception of one which is a bonus.
2.They last! Much like Mac lipglass ..note..The tackier a gloss is, the longer it will last on your lips. If you buy a sheer super slick gloss I can promise you it will NOT last long.
3. They are small enough to slip in a small evening bag.
4.This kit has a big range.
5. It was very inexpensive $25
 The only downside to these is the small amount in each container. It's only .05 oz which means the won't last long but, it's a great way to try a bunch of colors and decide which ones you'll want to buy in the larger size.Oh and the Holiday colors which are ALL my favorites are only available in this set : ( boooo...I hope so much that they will make these in the larger size because they are all stunning!

 I am totally sold on these. In fact I have even add them to my kit. I highly recommend buying sets like this at the holidays especially if you want to add a large range of colors in a brand of cosmetics that you like ie; lipsticks,eyeshadows (which can be de-potted), eyeliners, lipliners.

I bought this set at Sephora so, if you are thinking about buying it. I say go out and get it right away because these things DO NOT last at Holiday time. They make a great gift for a gal pal, a cute stocking stuffer from mom or a nice teen gift.

Here are a few Swatches of the colors you will get.

Best Sellers

Kitten(Shimmery nude),Starfruit (Shimmery Coral) Apricot(almost clear with a little sparkle) Grapefruit(Creamy nude pink) These are good staples in any lip gloss collection.

 Limited Edition Holiday

Dreamy (The perfect creamy nude),Fantasy (Melon with a bit of sparkle. Like Starfruit kicked up a notch.),Kaleidoscope (clear glitter with every color glitter you can think of! It's GORGEOUS!!) Believe (Sheer Red with Gold glimmer. Do you remember Spark from Chanel? This is a dupe.)

 I LOVE EVERY ONE OF THESE HOLIDAY SHADES!!! OMG the are SOOOOO pretty!!!

This is a 5 star set..I may need another just so I don't run out of my faves.

Happy Holiday Makeup Shopping,
Shawna

This weekend's face painting

I had the pleasure of painting about 35 guests in 2 hours at a local party and let me tell you it was a doozy. I was painting from 4pm to 6pm and with the time change it now gets dark around 5pm so they brought out lights and at one point a circuit broke and ALL of the power went out so, I was painting by the light of an ipad LOL!!
It also happened to be the day of the infamous USC/UCLA football game and as you can see there were a few USC fans.

 Here are some pics from the day.....

Zombie makeup for Halloween

Here is my Zombie boy. He has asked me every year if he could be a Zombie and now that his siblings are old enough not to be scared out of their wits I said o.k. This is what we came up with. It is a combination of makeup and face paint, latex and fake blood. This was very fun and gross to work on. I hope it inspires the artist in you. If your not into gore check out my simple, less scary Halloween looks for boys here.

Love and grossness,
Shawna

Prenatal baby bumps

I think my favorite of all things to paint has got to be baby bumps. It reminds me of my own babies and how incredible it was to feel them moving inside of me...the rest of the experience was less fantastic ; ) but, still incredible.
 I've had the opportunity to paint a couple of bellies and here is the latest one...

 This was my first Sparrow and I think it turned out great. What do you think? I can't wait for my next one.
Love and baby bumps,
Shawna

Sugar skull or Dia de Los Muertos makeup

Last year my very first face painting job was a Sugar Skull or Calaca which I have to say although I knew I could do it, I still had butterflies in my stomach and was nervous to try something new. This year however, I am very comfortable and confident in my skills and was excited to paint a few for Sugar Skulls for Dia de Los Muertos. I belong to lovely community of makeup artists and face painters and have drawn inspiration from my colleagues and hope you will be able to take inspiration from these.
Here are a few of the Dia de Los Muertos makeup jobs I had including one self portrait or painting LOL.
Love & Sugar Skulls,
Shawna

Body Painting number 1

This is my first ever body painting. It was very exciting to do and I learned a lot bout what and what NOT to do like..Do not use DUO eyelash glue to secure sequins because they STAIN the skin!!! I wish I had more time to finish but, I think it came out pretty good for my first one. I can't wait to paint another! Any takers?
