Ancient warriors use to paint their faces before going to war, ever seen brave heart?
As women we have come a long way from using rose petals for lips stick and pinching our cheeks for a touch of color.
We have brushes, primers, tinted moisturizers, even false lashes. We can make our selves look cute and girly all the way to hot vixen on a mission. We have options when it comes to how we look.
Makeup gives us that pep in out step and that extra I can do anything boost we need even in just applying a bit of bronzer and we have a game face.
A confident Woman is something to recon with. When she has her game face on watch out she is able to overcome any situation with confidence and Beauty.
Here's to you Ladies! and all that you do, you do it beautifully!
My confidence booster is my foundation it hides all the blemishes on my face.
What is your confidence boosting product?
Thanks for reading! May all your looks be flawless :)
Okay, I admit it. I have a problem flicking, Winging, Cat eyeing my eyes. I think I have a lazy eye that is to lazy to be a real lazy eye. My eyes are different from one another and they are hooded. Over the years I have come up with personal ways to correct this with the illusion of eye shadow.
My eyes are hooded also adding to my problems, I'm not saying I hate my eyes, Because I don't. I am actually very happy with them once they are done the way I like them. However I do have a problem with a winged liner. You see, right at the outer corner of my eye they take a dip for the worse.
It has taken me years and a lot of trial and error to perfect this and get it down. I am not saying this method is the way everyone should do it. But it works for me to achieve the Look I want.
Some Products I have used to achieve my wing:
Milani Eye Tech Liner MakeupForever Liquid Aqua Liner
I love the Milani EYE TECH Liquid Liner. It goes on matte, the formula does get dry fast, so what I do is dab some on the back of my hand and dip is into the liquid then apply. It has wonderful staying power although it isn't as dark as I would like it to be, But that isn't nothing a black eye shadow on top wont handle.
Milani.com says: Full color flow thru system that delivers & defines a perfect line in one stroke. Felt tip nib applicator is easy to use, provides precise control with no skipping or pulling.
I do have a problem with the MakeupForever Liquid Aqua Liner. It is too shiny and it makes my liner looked like black wrinkled foil. It does irritate My eye some but Learned to use it as a sealer for my false lashes to cover and blend any unevenness pertaining to my lashes.It does last forever and a day.
Makeupforever.com says: Rich in polymers, this superior eyeliner offers an impeccable hold that guarantees water-, tear-, and smudge-proof color. Its ergonomic, foam-tip applicator is designed to resemble a makeup brush handle for the quickest, easiest, and most accurate application.
Some of my buddies from Youtube have suggested I do a tutorial on how I wing my liner. But it isn't an actual wing, I like to call it an illusion of a wing. I will be calling the tutorial "How to fake a cat eye".
I hope it will be useful and helpful to some people who find this hard or difficult to do. After all that's what makeup is right? Mute this, emphasize that? So that's what I am doing today.
Once I get the Video up I will be adding a Link to it on this Post. Wish me Luck!
Have you tired these liners? What are your thought on them?
Thanks for stopping by, May all your looks be flawless! :)
Well I just opened my eyes and as I am coming to my self, I can't decide how I want to look today? Do I want to wear a pear of sweat pants and take on that load of laundry? Or do I want to look cute, preppy or business like? The list can go on as to how I will look today. But What decides this? Is it our mood when we awake? Is it our plans for the day?
What is it that influences how you will look like today?
Is it your mood or what the day has in store for you?

Fall is here. The leaves are turning, the sun will be going down earlier. But does that mean everything will have to tame down with the season?
Of course not! there is a whole color spectrum for us to choose from and right now this is a color combo I am loving!
Among my treats I found this gorgeous teal color from SmashBox pallet I got a while ago at Sephora.
I Love these colors. And I think they are perfect for this time of year with summer still in the air. In this look I used this lovely brown that has just a touch of shimmer but goes on matte, which if you know me, you know I adore mattes. Along with the Teal at the inner corner for that pop of color. I lined my eye using the MakeupForever liquid liner which I find irritates my eyes and a set of falsies from KARA.
I truly love this look and think it will look great on any eye. I used the Anastasia of Beverly hills brow pencil on my brows I love the formula and its ability to keep my brows in place.
Let me know what you think about this look for this time of year.?
I just wanted to take a minute to introduce my self properly. My Name is Laurie, I am 37 and I live in South Carolina. I have four wonderful children and a great husband who supports me because I told him to.
I want to thank everyone for the warm welcome into the community. I am going into this alone, for reasons I will keep to myself, I have none of my personal friends or family that know of my blog or Youtube channel. So i'm alone is this sea of people with just my laptop and a four year old camera. I know one day they will find out, but i'd rather them find out on their own.
See a woman putting herself out there, on the net, Youtube is frowned upon, but I cant help it. I have to do this if not I feel like something inside of me is going to die.
Beauty and makeup have been a passion of mine for years now. I truly Love it with every ounce of my being, it makes me happy. Almost too happy.
I don't claim to be a expert. I don't claim to know everything about beauty, But I do know what I know. And I know I love this. I love sharing, ideas, products as well as learning new things from you all.
I also know I don't have good grammar so if I mess up please let me know so I can correct my mistakes.
I hoped this helps you get to know me a little better and if there is anything else you would like to know about me please feel free to ask.
The Lovely Ladies at TwentyThirtyGlam Did a review everyone should check out on a wet and wild lip gloss. This got me thinking about my favorite lip gloss. The Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss.
I'm not really big on lip gloss, But I love this.
It doesn't leave my lips sticky. It doesn't contain a lot of glitter which I love. It glides on smooth adding a nice shine to any lip color. I went with the color Snow Pink Because I don't like glosses that add color to my lipstick, I really just want to add some shine and this works!
As you can see in the swatch its very translucent which I don't mind. Has good staying power it does fade leaving you with a nice natural sheen. It goes on smooth. I have been using it as a lip stick blender when i'm doing an ombre lip which works wonderful. It wipes away clean, doesn't leave a film after removal like many glosses out there.
I highly recommend the product to anyone who is into lip gloss or anyone who is new to lip gloss. Great product for the price. I Cant remember what I paid for it but I do know it was under $10 at CVS.
