Holiday Makeup Tutorial: EYE GLITTER

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this Look!
It is GLITTER EYES, like no eyeshadow around!

This is my first collaboration video ever- which means I teamed up with another Youtube Guru to create a themed look together. And I teamed up with the person who is the very reason I started on youtube, my inspiration for starting my tutorials, Lauren Luke, or Panacea81, as she's known on Youtube.

Our CollAboration Theme:

A HOLIDAY INSPIRED LOOK

I went with an dazzling, Glue & Glitter look, of sparkly, twinkling, gold on the eyes.

And a few lip color options.

(earrings: from a vintage-costume store on Melrose in Hollywood, Silver Sweater: from Zara)

Now let's go have some fun and "tutorial-it-up"! List of all the goodies I used below, too!
COME GET GLITTERY WITH ME IN THIS VIDEO:

 
What I used to get the look:

(For anyone who might have lighter skin than me, you can use more silver-gold, or whiter pearl color on the eyes too!)
*Any gold or shimmer paint pot, cream shadow, or I used, the BEN NYE GOLD SHIMMER STICK CRAYON
*Any light pearly, gold shimmer for under the brow bown. I used NAKED LUNCH from MAC.
*Any medium light  gold eyeshadow, I used CHASE from the Urban Decay 15 YEAR Palette
*Any bright gold shimmery eyeshadow for the base color under the glitter. 
*Any dark bronzey-gold brown eyeshadow to emphasize the crease area. If you don't have a crease, just shade this in with the shadow to create a "crease illusion" . I used DARKHORSE and SMOG from the Naked Palette from Urban Decay.

GLITTER & GLUE:
*Apply the eyelash glue onto the lid: I used the Eyelash Glue from Urban Decay, because it goes on less clumpy and stringy than the DUO eyelash glue. And I like that it dries clear instead of whitish.
(and ofcourse it's safe to use on your lid, because it was designed to go on your eyes.)
*Then pat the cosmetic grade glitter onto the glue with a not-so-fluffy brush. MAC, BEN NYE, and GRAFTOBIAN all make cosmetic grade glitter to use on the eyes, as well as the URBAN DECAY Glitter I used from their glitter tattoo set.

EYELINER & LASHES:
*I lined the inner rims of the eyes with my favorite black eyeliner, SMOLDER from MAC.
*Any black Liquid Liner- I used the Penultimate Liquid Eyeliner from MAC in Rapid Black.
*Any black eyeshadow- I used the black from my BEN NYE Glamour palette, it's even darker and "blacker" than Carbon from MAC, over the liquid liner.
*Any blackMascara- I used the Super Curling Mascara from Urban Decay.
*Any demi-wispie fake lashes. I used the TEASE lashes from Urban Decay.

And you can watch the video for all the different lip options!

You cannot stop staring at the glitter on the eyes! It's amazing! And I show how to do, and how to get it off in the video too!

And here is Lauren Luke's "Christmas Collaboration" with me- she's so adorable, you just can't help but fall in love with her "adorableness"-

Stay tuned for the GLITTER LIPS tutorial too for the holiday!

The Very First Barbie Commercial

...looked a lil' somethin' like this...

Now, I love Barbie Dolls...they are like little fashion sculptures...
I even have a painting of a 50's Barbie in my house- it's the classic 50's make-up and hair and Barbie- which I love.
People have said, oh this looks like a little Barbie house... I smile..and think, excitedly, "yes my pink couch does look like it's from a Barbie house" and I think about how I never had the Barbie Dream house...but now I have a Barbie "dream couch" ha ha ha

Ofcourse Barbie's proportions aren't real, but she is just a doll. No one has a head as big as Dora the Explorer...ha ha ha, and I have never wanted arms that don't bend or feet that are always ready to go into a high heel. But my favorite part was dressing her up in fun clothes...it was like a having a little mannequin. My grandma used to sew clothes for my moms Barbies! I wish I still had them!

Well here's a little treat...the first EVER Barbie commercial from 1959....I love the stairs in the commercial too - it was played during the Mickey Mouse Club...

Barbie has inspired everyone from Bob Mackie to Nicki Minaj...!
Who else loved Barbie and/or still does?
Kandee...who wishes I still had my Peaches N' Cream Barbie
