Casual Makeup look.  For this casual look, all she wanted was a very simple and natural eye makeup.  To add a hint of color, we chose a pink lipstick to brighten up the look.  This look is perfect for any occasion and it definitely brightens up the face and awakens it.  Anyone can achieve this beautiful look and also by changing the lip color it can easily change the mood.  For example, a lip color towards the reds will make the look more elegant and also stronger.  And towards the nudes, the look will be more natural and light.

More before & after from this month

I had a wonderful time working with my friend here.  Also, she was so sweet and treated me a meal before I left home.  For her fall photo shoot, I gave her a natural eye makeup look but also added a strong eyeliner to open up her eyes.  I mainly focus on brighten up her look and adding blusher with natural contour.  She preferred a natural lip color, so we went ahead and used "Raquel" from the NARS Audacious collection, which has a very rich and non-drying formula and "Nude Beige" as her liner from Make Up For Ever.  As for the brows, I just kept her natural shape and shaped it a little with an Aqua Brow.  She is beautiful inside and out!

This look is more towards the dark and half smokey eye.  By brighten up the inner corners of her eyes and adding the darker liner definitely open up her eyes more.  I also added natural contours and very light blusher.  To complete the makeup, she did a great job of choosing "Audrey" by NARS Audacious collection as her lip color.  The lip color is a mauve red tone and its perfect for the fall and winter season.  I was very happy that she was completely satisfy with how it came to be.  Can not wait to work with her again.  <3

Recent before & after makeup beauty shots

It was a such pleasure working with my cousin here.  One thing that I love about her look is definitely her eyebrows.  It definitely complete the look beautiful.  I did a smokey eye look for her using the Lorac Mega Pro palette.  To bring the eyes forward, I highlighted her under eyes with Make Up For Ever Full Cover Concealer.  I love how she looks like she ready to conquer the world; very bright and confident.  (Audrey by NARS Audacious collection as her lip color.)

This is a Halloween inspire makeup look that can also be worn for other occasions and events as well.  I shaped and darken her brows with Aqua Brows by Make Up For Ever and contour her face with the 12 Flash Color Case by Make Up For Ever.  For the lips, I used "Annabella" by NARS Audacious collection and also outline her lips with a black color from the Make Up For Ever 12 Flash Colors.  This is such a great look for this fall season or someone who likes vampy looks.
This is a very natural look with a hint of color add on the lips.  (lipstick:  Greta by NARS Audacious collection)  For this look, I fill in her natural brow shape and add a smokey liner with a light blusher from Ben Nye. This is such a perfect look for work or school, nothing too overwhelming.  This look is perfect for anyone who is always in a rush but still wants to look professional and awaken.

This is a very natural fall look.  The light plum lipsticks definitely add some character.  The brows are very on point and also the contour definitely enhances her features more.  I love how this look brightens up her complexion.  This is another perfect look for work or school, but with a fall lip color.  The blusher is light yet it definitely plays a big role completing the look.  Loved working with her.

FULLER LIPS

I love adding white eyeliner around my lip to reduce the redness there and also surprisingly to create fuller lips.  Apply the liner around your lips and then lightly blend it with your fingers to allow the liner to blend in and it's okay if the liner gets on your lips as well.  After that just do your regular lipstick routine.  I enjoy this technique all the time.  I find it very help and simple.  Believe To See.  -CrystalLyfoung21

National Lipstick Day

One of my most favorite lipstick lately.  bareMinerals - Feel The Love  It's very smooth and moisturizing.  I love how it's very natural and looks perfect with a natural or dramatic look.  I would definitely recommend this lipstick for everyone, because it's very universal and matches most skin tones.  I hope you all have a beautiful Tuesday and remember that if you need a boost of confidences just put on a LIPSTICK!  <3  Thank you so much for reading!  Believe To See  -CrystalLyfoung21

This is my swatches of the Lorac Pro 2 Palette.  (On the left is without primer and on the right is with primer.)  To be honest with all of you guys, I am in love with this beautiful palette.  Maybe because I love cool tone shades, but in my opinion this palette will definitely look great on all skin tone.  My most favorite shades will have to be "snow" and "navy."  Snow is an awesome color to highlight with and I love how it's very pigmented.  As for Navy, it's such a unique, pigment, bold and interesting color that makes you want to just experiment with it.  I would definitely recommend this palette for one who enjoys a day to night palette with some pop of colors.  Every shade in the palette is truly pigmented and beautiful!  I hope you enjoy and thank you so much for reading.  Believe to see.  -CrystalLyfoung21

Party Party - My Weekend

We had so much fun at our friends party this weekend.  So glad and happy for their achievements and hard work.
For the party, I did a very natural full face makeup with a bold lip color.  I used my Revlon ColorStay Moisture Stain in 001 India Intrigue.  It's a bright and bold pink towards purple color.  To glam up and put the look together I added beautiful lashes.
I got lots of compliments on this look and I just want to thank everyone for being so kind and positive.
