Hello again. This week I decided to recreate a Hunger Games look. Specifically, this look from the Vanity Fair shoot with the cast. I had a lot of fun attempting to morph into Katniss, especially now that the Hunger Games line is out for CoverGirl. I even made the bejeweled hair pieces with some feathers and rhinestones. Super easy! Also note the milkmaid braid. That was a challenge. And...I put fire in my pictures. I'm quite proud of that so take note.

Let the Games begin:

Halloween Makeup Series: Juliet Capulet

This week's look is a complete 180 from last week! I don't know about you, but I'm excited to see the new Romeo and Juliet movie coming out this Friday (even though nothing will beat the Leo one...) for many reasons...the main one being that Julian Fellowes is the director. I'm a bit obsessed with period dramas and he's one of the best period directors. *Cough Cough* Downton Abbey. 

Anyway, this look is extremely simple. I wouldn't have really put any makeup on for this look since Juliet is so young and makeup wasn't really popular back then. In fact, it was frowned upon; People who wore makeup back then were either actors or women of the night. BUT since it is Halloween, I did a very natural look. The best part? It's also a perfect everyday look!

Again, links to the products that I specifically used are within. Let's do this:

Halloween Makeup Series: 21st Century Marie Antoinette

So, hopefully you've read my series on Versailles. *wink wink. nudge nudge* It only seems fitting that my first Halloween makeup look is a pop culture/modern day Marie Antoinette. I had so much fun creating this look and I know you will too! If you do decide to recreate this look, then send me a picture over on twitter or post it below. Happy October! Let the pumpkin spice cookie-eating and coffee-drinking commence.

Fall 2013 Makeup Trends

Hello there! As you've noticed I've been posting a lot of travel posts with some fun history stories thrown in there, but today I'm going to switch things up a bit! I absolutely love beauty and everything surrounding it...I hope that doesn't make me sound vain. Oh well. I love doing others' hair and makeup because the result is beautiful. It's incredible how a person's whole demeanor and attitude can change with the flick of an eyeliner brush and the wave of a mascara wand. I love seeing people happy and light up because they feel prettier.

Okay enough of that. I've compiled a little list of some make up trends that have graced the Fall 2013 runways. Here's what I have gathered so far ...
