A Very Vintage Valentine's Day Makeup Tutorial

A Very Vintage Valentine's Day Makeup Tutorial
For my Valentine's Day makeup, I wanted to do something different than the traditional pink and red romantic look. I wanted a sexy look. A vintage sort of pinup look that would be a great look for that hot and steamy Valentine's date! So here I have for you my Very Vintage Valentine's Day Makeup Tutorial!

All the makeup I used, can be found in a drugstore. No expensive brands here! Any palette with white, greys, and blacks will work! You will also need 3 shadow brushes, liquid eyeliner, and a set of fake eyelashes. You can find falsies at any drugstore or beauty supply. Go for big fun ones!
​

Step 1. From lash line to brow bone, sweep your white/pearlescent shadow. Make sure to get the inside of your eye, it brightens up your whole face!

Step 2. Brush your dark grey shadow into your crease, and then underneath your eye, along the lash line, making a sort of semi-circle around your eye.

Step 3. Brush liquid eyeliner along your top lash line, in a thick line. Extend it out, into a wing shape.

Step 4. Brush your dark grey shadow along the winged part of the eyeliner. Top and bottom.

Step 5. Brush a black eyeshadow into your crease, until you get a great smoky look.

Step 6. Fill in your eyebrows. The thicker, darker, and more pointed, the better!

Step 7. Apply your fake eyelashes. They can be tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it, they're a breeze. I actually prefer wearing falsies to mascara!

Step 8. Using a brown contouring powder (or a brown eyeshadow), and a thin contouring brush, sweep into the hollows of your cheekbone.
Step 9. With a fluffy blush brush (say that 3 times fast!), sweep a bright pink blush directly above, and slightly overlapping your brown shade. Blend blend blend!

​Step 10. A pink nude lipstick tops off this look. Doutzen's nude by Loreal is the most perfect pink nude I have ever found!

​Pair with some bumper bangs, or other pinup hairstyle, a slinky red (it is Valentine's Day after all!) dress, fishnets, and heels. Wow! You vintage Valentine's Day babe you!

Wedding Makeup for Pale Girls

Wedding Makeup for Pale Girls
I am a pale girl (And I embrace it). 
So for my wedding day, I knew there was no other way to go, than to work that paleness! But not everyone agreed with me, people were absolutely horrified that I wasn't going tanning before my big day! "What? You're actually going to look like yourself, and accept how you look?!!" I could almost hear people shouting at me!
If you're a pasty lady, you probably know exactly what I'm talking about! So just ignore all those orange, wrinkled, and leathery people who keep telling you that you need to be tan on your wedding day! 
I was the palest I've ever been (I carried an umbrella with me everywhere I went for months before the wedding), wore a bright white dress, and I looked fabulous! Here is how you can too!

This was me on my wedding day. Not too bad for someone that people like to make fun of because I'm pale!

When I was planning my wedding, I went to a professional makeup artist and had her do a trial run on me. When I got there, not only did she not have any foundation that was pale enough for me, but she didn't do my makeup anything like I wanted it!
This is what I left there looking like...

I looked nothing like myself, and not at all what I wanted to look like for my big day!
So after that experience, I decided to do my own makeup, and it was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding! I ended up looking like a better version of myself, and that's exactly how it should be!
So all you Casper the Ghost Complexioned women, I have two videos showing you exactly how I did my makeup for my wedding!
So that was video one, and now
...here's video 2!

The products I used for My Wedding Day:

-Primer
Pixi Redness Reducing Primer.

-Foundation
Urban Decay Naked Foundation, shade .05.

-Concealer
Pixi Undercover Crayon

-Powder
Physicians Formula 
​
-Blush
How to Make Your Face Wow

-Eyeliner
Wet n Wild H20 Proof Liquid Eyeliner.
I used the brush from Wet n Wild Mega Liner liquid eyeliner.

-Mascara
I don't even remember what kind I used. It didn't really matter what kind, because I had fake eyelashes, so I didn't need mascara that lengthened my lashes. All that mattered is that it was waterproof!
​
-Lip Primer
M.A.C Prep + Prime.

-Lipstick

Doutzens Nude 600 Loreal Colour Riche.

Mermaid Braids Video Tutorial
These "Mermaid Braids" are super adorable, and surprisingly simple! I learned how to do a mermaid braid from a hair book I have. After seeing how cute it looked, I decided that I wanted to do two instead of one, and I absolutely loved the look! 
So here is how to do your very own Mermaid Braids!
(And don't mind my face in all these pictures! I was super distracted and in a hurry! Haha)

Try it! This looks cute with long hair, medium hair, and short hair too!
