Naturally Pretty

I love this look because you look so in touch with nature. Yes, you can see the makeup on your face, but you look natural in a one with the earth sort of way.


Step 1: Start of with "The Basics"
Step2: Apply a light grey liner to your lower water line and a thin line to your upper lash line.
Step 3: Now take a light green shadow and put it on your upper lids and into your crease and down under your lower lash line.
Step 4: Apply a layer of black mascara
Step 5: Then take a peachy blush and apply on your cheek bones
Step 6: Then take a bright pink lip gloss across your lips.
Step 7: Set with powder and now you look just as beautiful as the earth you live in.

Pixie Girl

This look is so delicate and pretty. It's a very girly look, sort of like a cute little pixie look.


Step 1: Start of with "The Basics"
Step 2: Take a light blue shadow, one with sort of a shimmer will look nice. Trace your upper lash line with the blue, then take the blue shadow and swoop it out to your outer corner ,then up around into your crease. Make a thick crease.
Step 3: Then take a shimmery purple eyeshadow and fill in the middle of your lid with it.
Step 4: Take your purple shadow and line your lower lash line with it.
Step 5: Then take your shimmery blue shadow and smudge it underneath your lash line also, right over top of the purple.
  • Let some of the purple show in the middle when you take the blue over it.
Step 6: Then if you want to take this look over the top you can add some dramatic fake black lashes and cover with mascara.
Step 7: In the picture she has blue sequins that follow the shape of her eye on the outside. You can add this for a party or something, but just for a normal day I would keep these off.

Pretty Purple

I think this look is super pretty. It looks alittle harsh in this picture but it's a great and very pretty look for a date night or going to a party. 
  1. First you start off with "The Basics"
  2. Then you take a white/silvery eyeshadow and apply it to your entire lid the whole way up to your brows.
  3. Take a purple eyeshadow after and line your top lash line with it.
  4. Apply it to your crease and out to your outer corner so it attaches with the purple you just lined your lash line with.
  5. Apply a white liner (or even the white/silvery eyeshadow from up top) to your waterline.
  6. Take the purple from up top and line underneath your lower waterline with it.
  7. Apply mascara
  8. I would keep the lipgloss simple and nude or light pink, but apply whatever you'd like.
  9. Now you can go be the best face at the party.
P.S. If you want to wear this look to a date or a wedding, then make the purple lighter and blend super well so it looks simple and pretty.

Pink smokey eye

This look is very bold and dramatic. I would wear this for going out in the evening, but not during the day. Its just a little too harsh for day time.

  1. Start off with "The Basics"
  2. Next apply hot pink eyeshadow to your eyelid, up to your crease.
  3. Then apply a dark black eyeshadow from your crease to your outer corner and into your inner corner.
  4. Take a black eyeliner and place it underneath your bottom waterline, just a thin line.
  5. Take the black eyeshadow and apply it from your outer crease, down underneath the eyeliner you just put on.
    • Smudge the black eyeshadow together slightly with the black eyeliner, so it doesn't look as harsh.
  1. Highlight your brow bone with a light pink eyeshadow.
    • Take the highlight color and edge the black eyeshadow with it. So, go from your brow bone down around the black underneath your eye, and up past your inner corner.
  1. Apply a layer of mascara
  2. Finish with a nude colored gloss.
  3. Now you're ready to rock the night.

Purple Smokey Eye

I love this purple smokey eye. I was just experimenting one day before I went out with some friends, and I fell in love with it. I would wear this when I'm just going to the movies with my friends, or out to dinner. Something casual but still nice.

  1. Begin with "The Basics" as always.
  2. Then apply black eyeliner to lower waterline.
  3. Apply a purple liner to top lash line
    1. Make the upper lash line sort of thin but still thick enough to see it.
  4. Apply a light black shadow to the crease.
  5. Take a clean powder brush and blend those well so the black isn't harsh and you can't tell where it begins or ends. If you don't blend it, the black will drown the purple.
  6. Time for the purple. Take your purple shadow (I suggest a dark purple to go with the black) and with a tiny blush-like brush, brush it right above of the black that you put in your crease out just alittle past where you stopped the black. Fill some of the purple in at the corner so it connects to your top eyeliner and crease. Apply two or three coats of the purple until desired intensity is reached.
    1. Apply a thin amount underneath eyes too.
  7. Blend with a powder brush
  8. Then take a white shadow and highlight your brow bone with it. (Just swoop a light amount across the bone below your brows.)
  9. Curl lashes and apply mascara to upper and lower lashes.
  10. Apply chap stick or lip plumper
  11. Apply nude or pink lip gloss.
  12. Set with powder.

Liner/Eyeshadow

Using eyeliner as eyeshadow is a great way to save money and time. All you need is a colored eyeliner and some mascara.

  1. Start off with "The Basics"
  2. Grab any colored eyeliner you prefer (Here, I'm using a dark blue eyeliner.)
  3. Draw eyeliner across top lid as though you are doing a thick upper liner.
  4. Continue to draw the thick line until it covers your whole upper lid.
    • Don't draw the liner past your crease
  5. After you have your lid covered, wing out the liner from right at your lashes.
  6. Then fill in your lower water line with the same color.
  7. Under your water line, draw a medium thick line of eyeliner.
  8. Wing out the bottom into the top wing so you have one wing.
    • (After you finish with all your eyeliner, take a translucent powder or an eyeshadow of the same color and LIGHTLY dust it over the eyeliner so it doesn't smudge onto your top eyelid.
    • If you like the color, then I suggest the translucent powder. If you apply an eyeshadow of the same shade, it will change it a little. Most likely it will just make the color bolder. If you're willing to, experiment with adding on the colored eyeshadow.
  9. Afterward, curl your upper lashes. Hold the eyelash curler there for about five-ten seconds.
  10. Then put on a coat of mascara on upper and lower lashes.
  11. Apply a chap stick or lip plumper.
  12. Apply a nude colored lipstick or gloss.
  13. Set everything with powder.

Simply Gold

This is my basic, everyday, morning routine. It's simple to do and takes about ten minutes. I usually wear this everyday unless I'm going out at night or I have something like a spirit day going on at school.

  1. I always start off with "The Basics".
  2. Then I take a black eyeliner and apply it to my lower waterline and upper waterline.
  3. After I apply the eyeliner to my waterlines, I apply a thin black line to my upper eyelid as close to my lashes as possible.
  4. Then, I take the smudger on the end of my eyeliner and smudge my upper liner just slightly, so it isn't as rough and harsh.
  5. When I finish my eyeliner, I take a light gold eyeshadow and apply it to my whole entire eyelid
  6. Then, I take a darker gold eye shadow and apply it over the light eye shadow.
  7. I take my smudger after I finish my eyeshadow and smudge back over the eyeliner so I don't have any eye shadow on it.
  8. I take my eye lash curler and curl my eyelashes for about ten seconds each set.
  9. And I apply a coat of mascara to top and bottom lashes.
  10. Then I apply soft lips chap stick and a pink lip tint.
  11. Then set with powder and I'm on my way.
