90's grunge lip


This is such fun makeup to try, I definitely would not wear it during the day but going out I would. Due to the lip being so bold I decided to keep my eyes very simple. 
On my eyes I used Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette. 
1. Apply White Chocolate all over the lip and all the way up to the brow bone. 
2. Using a blending brush apply Salted Caramel to the crease. 
3. To highlight apply Champagne Truffle on the brow bone and tear duct. 
4. For my lips I used two different liners: Mauve by Nyx Cosmetics and Currant by MAC Cosmetics, I also used a black eyeliner too. 
5. Apply Mauve all over the lips. 
6. Outline the lips with black eyeliner and blend inwards with your finger. 
7. Go over the black with Currant and blend inwards with your finger. After I blended I outlined my lips again with Currant. 
That's it! So simple and easy.

Gerard Cosmetics '1995' lipstick review

This lipstick is so gorgeous and my favorite to wear for the current fall season! I love it because you can bring out the different colors in it depending on the lipliner you use. So pretty and it would be gorgeous on ANY skintone! I usually add a little gloss because I personally think that all matte lipsticks make my lips look a little to dry, that's my preference with every matte lipstick though. In the picture I have included in this post I haven't used any gloss, lip balm, or lipliner, I wanted the true color and texture to show for the swatch and I only used the lipstick. Definitely worth the money and so on point with the current 90's trends happening. 

Go-to fall look

This is my absolute favorite go-to fall makeup look. Super easy and so gorgeous, the pictures don't do it justice.
I used Anastasia Beverly Hills Amrezy palette on my eyes and on my lips I used Gerard Cosmetics '1995' lipstick made by Jaclyn Hill (my current favorite lipstick). 
1. I primed my eye with Too Faced 'shadow insurance'. 
2. Using a tapered blending brush I applied Caramel in my crease using windshield wiper motions. 
3. Next, I applied Morocco with a blending brush to add some depth to the crease. 
4. I applied Deep Plum with a flat eyeshadow brush (you will need to use a lot of it to get a good dark color without any blotches). 
5. To highlight my brown bone and tear duct I used Legend. 
6. Apply 1995 lipstick.

Sparkely Golden Eye Shadow



1.) Apply Wedge to the crease with a blending brush
2.) Next go in over Wedge with Handwritten using the same blending brush
3.) Using a flat eye shadow brush apply Woodwinked all over the eyelid and some on the lower lash line
4.) Then go back in with Handwritten with the blending brush and darken the outer corner of the eye
5.) Using a blending brush, apply Blanc Type to the brow bone and blend in with Handwritten
6.) Wet a flat eye shadow brush and pat on Blonde Streak all over the eyelid (wetting the brush beforehand helps the eye shadow stick better and keeps it from fall out.) Also, be sure to apply some to the lower lash line
7.) Eyeliner and mascara and you're donezo
