Every Day Eyeshadow

For my first makeup look request I was asked to create an every day eyeshadow look.  Being that this is my first instructional post it may need refinement; so any input that would make it easier to understand or anything that I missed please let me know.


Products used:
-Eye Moisturizer
-Eyeshadow 1: Light Shade
-Eyeshadow 2: Medium Shade
-Eyeshadow 3: Dark Shade
-Eyeliner
-Mascara
-Eyeshadow Brushes

As a general rule the first step to good looking makeup is your skin care.  Your eye area is the most important area to keep moisturized as this skin is the most delicate.  The moisturizer I used is Avon Anew Clinical Eyelift.

Step 1: Apply Eyeshadow #1 over the entire eyelid from lash line to eyebrow with brush A or the provided applicator.  I used Clinique Colour Surge Eye Shadow, 319 Daybreak.


Step 2:  Apply Eyeshadow #2 from lash over eye lid and in crease from lash line up to your brow bone using brush A.  I used Clinique Colour Surge Eye Shadow, 303 Lucky Penny.  

  
Step 3: Apply Eyeshadow #3 in a V-shape at the outer corner of your eye and just under the brow bone using brush B or the supplied applicator.  Also apply Eyeshadow #3 to the outer 2/3 of the upper and lower lash line using brush C.  I used Clinique Colour Surge Eye Shadow, 306 Rum Spice.


Step 4: Use a light white/cream eyeshadow as a highlighter, I used Eyeshadow #1 again.  Apply highlighter below the brown bone and in the inner corner of your eye.  Also use this step to smooth the edges of the contour color from Step 3.


Step 5: Apply Eyeliner to the outer 2/3 of the lash line.  Do not use a heavy line and don't worry about it being perfect when you apply.  You can always use a Q-Tip to smooth out the application.  Apply Mascara.  



The look is complete!

  2. WOW! Abby that looks amazing!! I am so excited to try this! As I've told you before I have no idea how to apply eye shadow, it actually looks pretty awful when I try! But I can't wait to try this. I wish it wasn't so late at night otherwise I would do it now!

Mirror Makeover

  Finally!  Time to update my guest bathroom!  For my first project I updated the old boring mirror with some glass tile.  It turned out amazing! What you need: -Sand paper (80 grit) -1" Mesh mounted tile -Painters Tape -2 part clear Epoxy Glue (I used 2.5 tubes of gorilla glue) -Unsanded Tile Grout (and grouting supplies) Step 1 : Lightly sand the edges of the mirror.  Be sure only to sand the area the tile will be covering.  You only need to scratch it up a bit to be sure the glue adheres. Step 2 : Cut the mesh on the tile to the desired boarder size.  Mine is 3".  Be sure to trim the edges of the mesh as close to the tiles as possible. Step 3 : Mix 2 part epoxy.   Be sure to read the directions for the glue!  You won't want to mix all of it at once or it will set before you are able to use it all.   Apply glue to the back of the tile and position on mirror.  You have a few minutes to adjust the tile positio...

Harry Potter Crib Mobile

A good friend of mine, whom is a huge Harry Potter fan, welcomed her son Stryder last month.  As a baby gift I wanted to make her something with a Harry Potter theme for the baby room. I made Harry, Hermione, Ron, Snape, a snitch, Hedwig with Stryder's invitation to Hogwarts and the crests for all 4 houses with felt, glue, stuffing and thread.  I purchased an already mobile on clearance and took it apart covering the hoops with a new fabric and replacing the ribbons to sew the figures onto.  The only thing I was unable to do was find a music box that I could program with the Harry Potter theme song. The project took quite a bit of time but was an great way to create a personalized gift on a budget. Jameson had fun playing with the little figures.  He used them as shadow puppets and when he found out they weren't for him he asked me to make one for him. So we introduced Spiderman to the Harry Potter gang :)

Wood Growth Chart

This project is a little late.  It is something I have planned on doing for the last 3 years and just kept putting off.  Finally after my youngest son ripped the paper chart we have I decided I had to get something more permanent. I have seen all kinds of different options on Pinterest that were all simple enough to make but I just could never find one that really struck my interest.  So combining a few different ideas I came up with my own. I planned to make a tutorial out of this but it took a lot of trial and error before I finally got it complete and I'm not sure I could tell you all the steps it actually took.  I will tell you how it ideally would have gone.  If you want to try to take this on make sure you do a trial run on a scrap piece of wood! I started by measuring out the ruler and marking every inch.  Then I took a router with a round bit and routed out the lines.  This surprisingly was the easiest step of the whole process.  I...
