Mulberry Eye Shadow with Gold:

This was a look that one of my cousins requested for her wedding day.  After that, I also just feel in love with how beautiful the colors all look together.  It’s pretty dramatic for a wedding day, but of course, if you like the bold looks this one is perfect.  I also love this eyeshadow look with a nude lipstick as well, so if you like that you can just change up the bolder lip color.  For this look, I decided to keep the face pretty natural because the eyes and lips are very bold already.  I hope you guys enjoy the tutorial.  ♡crystal

Gradient Eyebrows


Hello Everyone!! <3
Today I uploaded my "Everyday Gradient Eyebrows" that I have been doing very often and also the products that I used are doing great in the humid weather that I live in.  This eyebrow technique is super simple and very easy to achieve.  I love the longevity of the products I used, because as you can see I plucked my brows tail and I definitely don't want my brows melting off of on me.  The products I used are the MUFE - Aqua Brow - #10, Anastasia of Beverley Hills - Dip Brow Pomade - Dark Brown, MUFE - Artist Shadow - M500 Ivory, Maybelline - Fit Me Concealer - 15 and Urban Decay - Makeup Setting Spray - Oil-Control.
When filling in the brows you want to always use a light hand.  The Aqua brow gel allows me to gathering all the hair together in place and almost lock them up together.  Also, since I am using a lighter shade than my brows, it helps my outline how I want my brows to really look like.  After that, the application with the Anastasia Dip Brow Pomade will definitely be easier.  Since there is now an outline, I would use the Dip Brow to basically fill it in.  The Dip brow will mostly be used at the tail of the brow and two third of the way towards the front of the brows.  To make sure the brows has a gradient effect the dip brow pomade is not needed much at the front of the brows.  The concealer definitely helps defines the brow even more and also gives a cleaner look to the eyebrows.  A new technique I learned from playing around with my makeup was to add a little eye shadow in front of the brows to intensify the gradient effect and also helps the front of the brows to look more blended out.  A setting spray is a total must, especially after all the hard work of drawing in the brows.  I used the Urban Decay Oil-Control Makeup Setting Spray.  I like to directly spray my brows about twice with each brows.  This will insure the life of them to last the whole day and even tomorrow, if you want to slept with your makeup.  :)  Also, with these products, your brows are also waterproof.  I did shower with these brows and they still look great after.  I hope you guys enjoy my video and also this eyebrow technique.  Please do let me know what you would like to see in my next video.  Thank you!  <3crystal
