The Casual Daytime Cateye

         
The cateye has become a popular makeup style. Unfortunately, alot of people think that it's too dramatic during the day. I'm here to put those worries at ease and say that it is possible!
Here's what you need:
*a pallete of your favorite shadows
*dark black mascara (my favorite is Maybelline Volum' Express One by One)
*primer (I use Rimmel London Fix & Perfect Pro)
*black liquid eyeliner
*bronze shadow
*eyeliner brush
*crease brush

Please excuse the terrible lighting!!

Step 1
Make sure sure eyelids are clean and free of any other makeup residue. Coat your lids with primer so the makeup will stay in place longer.







Step 2
Brush your lids and inner corners of your eyes with a shimmery beige shadow.







Step 3
Using your crease brush, blend a shimmery bronze shadow into your crease











Step 4
Blend a dark shade of brown shadow into the outer corners of your eyes in order to attain a bit of a smokey effect.










Step 5

Use the liner brush to outline your upper lid with black shadow (this step is mainly to create a guide that you can follow when you use the liquid liner).










Step 6
Define the line you just made with your liquid liner. At the outer corner of your lids, lightly flick your wrist for a little wing (don't flick too hard! You'll end up with a mess on the side of your face)









Step 7
Coat your lashes in a very black mascara. If you want to define your wing even further, concentrate the majority of your mascara towards the outer corners of your eyes.









Enjoy Your Daytime Cateyes!! :D

The Beachy Look


In the spirit of the season, I want to show you guys how you can get Ariel-worthy beach hair and makeup. Us Floridians sport this look all year round, but for you land-locked folks out there, it's a fun way to change it up for a day!
  Hair
 


 
Step 1
Make sure your hair is damp but not soaked. Evenly distribute a leave in conditioner (I use Mane N' Tail), and Surf Hair Texturizing Paste.
                                                                                                


                                 
 
 



 Step 2
Now grab a long sock, cut off the toes, and roll it into a ring.








Step 3
Make a tight ponytail on the very top of your head and slip the end of it through the sock ring. Evenly distribute the end hair around the ring then continue to roll the hair into it. You should end up with a donut shaped bun. Spritz some Aussie Sprunch Spray over your head.




Step 4
Let your hair dry over night and in the morning let your hair free! Fix up any flat unattractive curls/waves with a curling iron. Here's what my hair looked like after this process :)


                                                                           

        Eyes

Step 1
Spread primer on your lids to ensure that the eyeshadow stays put, then dust shimmery sand colored shadow across your lids. Use a dark matte brown shadow for your creases.
Step 2
Highlight your brows with a light silvery shadow. Next, using a liner brush and dark brown shadow (it is an angled brush), outline a thin line above your lashes. Use a dark brown pencil to define the line.
Step 3
Lastly, lightly brush your lashes with a dark brown or light black mascara and enjoy your new summer look!
