Makeup Monday: New Year's Eve Makeup and Nails

-

As promised last week, here is a double holiday makeup/nail tutorial for New Year's Eve. 2014 is almost over and the year has flown by! I am still not sure if I will be heading out for NYE, but I wanted to play with glitter make-up. Ignore my outfit, its football Sunday; Go Pack!!!

Makeup 
1. Apply foundation.


2. Apply Concealer.


3. Seal your liquids with a pressed powder.


4. Apply bronzer under your cheeks. I filled my eyebrows at this point also.


5. Apply a light blush. You just want a hint of pink.


6. Apply eyelid primer


7. Use a light gold eye shadow for your lid.

I hit pan :(

8. Apply a medium brown eye shadow to your brow bone.



9. Apply a dark brown shadow to the corner of your eye. For a more dramatic look, blend into the light brown shadow on your brow.



10. Apply liner to the waterline. Keep your eyes looking more open by putting a little gold in the inner bottom corners of your eyes.


I opened my eye like this so the camera could see!

11. Apply some glitter. I found these Wet 'n Wild Glitter Shadows for $0.69 each at Walgreen's. I was impressed but the glitter kind of gets everywhere so beware.



12. Apply eyeliner to the top of your lid.


13. Finish your look with mascara. You can also add false lashes for a more dramatic look.


Finished Face
I added a Barbie pink lip for NYE! Love this color.


NYE Nails

Look 1
Black and Gold Nails

Polishes that I used: Black and Gold Glitter


1. Apply a nail primer to protect your nails from staining. Then, add a solid black color.



2. Apply glitter to the tips of your nails or the full nail. I did both to create an accent nail on my ring finger. Seal with a strengthening top coat.


Look 2
Nude and Silver Nails

Polishes that I used: nude, chunky glitter, and fine glitter.


1. Apply nail primer to protect your nails and paint them nude.


2. Apply the fine glitter first and wait for it to dry.


3. Apply the chunky glitter and a top coat.



**I hoped that you enjoyed this post. Thank you for reading!! Which nail color combo is your favorite? I like them both equally for NYE. Please leave your comment/ questions below. Happy Monday!**

What you will need: Candle Jars (Square or Round) Candle Stick Holders Ribbon (optional) All materials for this project can be found at Dollar Tree in the candle isle. They are regularly found items so this project can easily be duplicated. Directions: 1. Remove all price stickers. These are glass and we are gluing them so you are going to want a clean surface.  2. Put hot glue around the rim of the candlestick holder.It will begin to dry pretty quickly so work fast, don't worry if the glue starts to drip. 3. Place square jar on the top of the candlestick holder while the glue is still hot. It will bond pretty quickly so make sure its straight! You also don't want it to look messy. Finished Product Lip Gloss Holder   4. Repeat. For a more unique look, try putting the candle jar on a slant when gluing. This will only work with the round type jars. You will get something that looks like this: 5. Add ...

Trial Tuesday: Removing Printed Labels From Plastic

So if you have been following my blog. you know that I have really been getting more organized in 2015. One way that I continue to add new items to my home is to recycle the products that I use. Recently, I came across this Pin that I wanted to try out for baking ingredient storage: find this tutorial on www.hometalk.com Now while this idea is very clever I wasn't sure if I would use paint to redo the cans that I have. This got me thinking about another Pin that I saw on Pinterest about removing printed labels with nail polish remover. Found on www.2busybrunettes.com After I saw this Pin, I checked it out on YouTube and with thin plastic, it does work. With this in mind I wondered if I could remove the label from the Folgers Container. Which brings us to this weeks trial. TRIAL What You Will Need: Before: Directions: Fold a piece of paper towel and soak it in nail polish remover.  Place nail polish soaked paper towel on the label for 5 minutes....

Trial Tuesday: Removing Scratches From Wood

If you haven't figured it out by now, furniture is not made like it used to be. For this reason, when looking for wooden pieces I usually opt for the old, heavy wooden pieces over the plywood of today. So, when I look for furniture, it's typically at a thrift store or rummage sale. I take such pride in finding pieces and repurposing them. You can take something old and make it like new with a little effort. While repainting furniture can be fun, it is even better when you find a piece that just needs a good cleaning. So when I came across the Pin below, I was very curious to see if this technique worked. TRIAL What You Will Need 1/2 Cup Olive Oil 1/2 Cup Vinegar Wash Cloth Before Directions Mix vinegar and oil. Use a wash cloth to apply the mixture to your scratch. Repeat steps if necessary. After Results: FAIL Note that literally nothing happens. Now, while this scratch is pretty deep, isn't that the point? I did try thi...
