Beyonce Makeup Photo Tutorial

So over the weekend, Jay-Z may have or have not announced that him and Beyonce are expecting a another baby. I quite frankly did not care about this news. I cared more about the makeup that Mrs. Carter was rocking. Such a cool look! Awesome for a party and even for the upcoming holiday season. Never too early to start brainstorming looks.



I recreated this look and it's super easy to do. I love the pink and the silver glitter together. I used loose glitter because I only had a gold liquid liner. Also, with loose glitter you don't have to layer as much and it comes out much better in photos. Check out the pictorial below to learn how to create this look.


Instructions:

1. Prime your lids and sweep a shadow similar to your skin tone all over your eyelid. Then, use a color slightly darker than your skin tone and blend that into your crease to give your eye definition.
2. Line your upper lash line with a gel liner, slightly flicking the corner. 
3. Starting from the outside in, line your eye as if creating a cat eye. However outline a little outside your lash line to create a small "gap". 
4. Since I used loose glitter, I first filled the "gap" with a glitter adhesive so the glitter can have something to stick too. This step isn't necessary if you are using a liquid liner. Then I layered a silver loose glitter over the adhesive. I neatened up the edges with the black liner and I exaggerated the tail of the cat eye to make it a little more dramatic.
5. Beyonce wore a pink lip to complement this look. I lined my lips with a pink liner and topped it off with a matte pink lipstick.

Makeup by One Direction "Midnight Memories" Collection

Unless you've been living under a rock, you have heard about One Direction. The brand MarkWins, (the geniuses behind such brands such as Wet n Wild) have launched a limited edition collection inspired by several of One Direction's hits. I received the "Midnight Memories" collection. The makeup comes encased in a collectible tin. Sadly, mine got dented during delivery.




The "Midnight Memories" includes stencils, nail polish, lipstick, lip gloss, jumbo eye pencil, ,mascara and an eye shadow palette. For a collection aimed at a young audience, I wasn't expecting high-quality to be honest. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The shadows in the palette had a pretty good pigmentation. I swatched them without primer and they had great color payoff. They also were nice and satiny, not chalky at all. My least favorite item is the lip gloss and that's only because it was just too sparkly for my liking. Overall, this is a great collection for girls who are just getting into makeup. It includes nice colors that you can play with and they are pretty versatile.

The makeup will be distributed at the following locations and dates:

United States:
Macy's - August 11th
Stage Stores -August 25th
Dillards- August 25th
Beauty Brands -August 25th
Lord and Taylor - August 25th


The collections are not available internationally yet but will be soon! Go to the official Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/MakeupbyOneDirection to stay updated!
