College Sucks!

And here's a shitty MSUM Preska hall bathroom pick to show it.





I'm so homesick. There's not going to be anything on here real soon, unless you want to know my classes and all that. You can also ask me for my mailing address, no creepers please, and all that.

I am currently going to Minnesota State University, Mankato for Clinical Laboratory Sciences. That means a process fluid tests. :)

I should go do my calculus homework. :/  Or call mommy... as I have been, eight times a day.

My Makeup 8-19-2012




Electric Blue Liner and an Updo!

For the hair, all I did was curl it, tease the crown, pulled and pinned it back, and put a headband in.
You'll need lots of bobby pins and hair spray.

Moisturizer
Foundation
Bright Blue Cream Shadow
Bright Blue standard Shadow
White Shadow for Highlighting
Brown Shadow for Brows
Black Eye Liner if you have sparse lashes
Angled Brush
Brow Brush


Here it is!


First,moisturize your face.


Add a redness reducing foundation, or your favorite foundation.


If you have sparse lashes, tight line with a Black or Brown eye liner to fill out lashes.


Fill in your brows with an appropriate/matching shadow. (This is an E.L.F. 24 Palette.)


Line your top lashes thickly with a Electric/Bright Blue Cream Stick. 
(This is a NYX Eye Pencil in 622A Electric Blue.)


Pack on a matching Blue Shadow. This one is from an E.L.F. 100 Palette.


Highlight with a White Shadow. 
This is from the E.L.F. 24 Palette that I used for my brows.

Here's the look!  :)


For the hair:

Conair Clips or a hair tie for sectioning hair
Bobby Pins if you have bangs to pull back


Section you hair to the bottom layer. Flat Iron until all of the bottom is straight.
Repeat two more times, making sure your bangs are separately sectioned.
Straighten Bangs and pin back with two crossed Bobby Pins, if preferred.
Spray hair spray or finishing spray on a brush and work through hair.

Moisturizer
Foundation
Purple-Silver Eye Shadow for base
White Eye Shadow for highlight
Brown Eye Shadow for brows

Use the top corner as a base.

Use this middle Brown or a Brown that matches your brows, and fill them in.


Here's the Palette I used. This is an E.L.F. Palette. (24 Shadows)



Apply Blush or an All Over Glow to your cheeks.


Finally, apply a Hot Pink Lipstick. I blotted half of mine off to make it look like a stain.


 This time, I only used the left and the middle brushes. The left for Shadow; the middle for Brows.



I will upload more stuff later today! Until then,
