Enoguh with the 411, let's get to the good stuff...MAKE-UP! I am into neutral classy day looks, crazy dark night looks, smokey flourescent's for the AM, plain eyes with statement lips for PM. Basically, no matter the time of day, occasion, or place....I like going all out! Some of my tutorials will be basic, some will be too much for anyone w=to even want to pull off. I enjoy make-up for artistic expression, and also just to make me feel pretty. Mostly though? I love makeup because it accentuates the beautiful things already on your face!
Some recent make-up shots:
New Years Eve 2011
Dewy-liscious!!
A plain winged liner, with fierce red lips!
