Lady Gaga Inspired

October 27th, 2010

Halloween is this weekend and with all the Lady Gaga costumes out this year, I thought a tutorial on one of her many makeup styles would be fun.  It was super easy, the hardest part being free hand drawing the lightening bolts.  I started with a bright pink eye shadow (MUFE) and patted it all [...]

Don’t Wear White After Labor Day

For this look, I used Makeup Up For Ever’s Flash Color in White and applied it to the top lid with an angled liner brush, extending past the end of the eye in a small wing.  I then covered the flash color with a white eye shadow to keep it from moving and to make [...]
