Below are some samples of my work. Obviously, these looks are not for a conservative office, but they are fun for photoshoots, clubs, theatre and self-expression.
If you have requests for any makeup looks, please leave it below or email me at cs.stylelife@yahoo.com. I will then do a tutorial for your desired look. I look forward to 'hearing' from all of you. :)

Subtle Smoke-inspired Look

Subtle Smokeout ->
The above look, "Subtle Smokeout," is inspired by the smoky eye makeup that is oh-so-popular. Smoky eyes do look fabulous! But most of us only wear that look in the evening, if at all. I wanted to try something a little different this time around, something a little more muted than the fully "smoky" look. The more subtle version (pictured above) should be easier to achieve and should be more acceptable to wear during the day. Please forgive my 'undone' eyebrows.
Step 1
Apply eyeshadow base, cream, concealer, etc. on your eyelids (you can put it higher also, depends on your preference- This technique is shown in photo above). Then, use black eyeliner or shade stick to cover entire eyelid (not upper brow bone).
Step 2
Apply a dark (or black) eyeshadow/pigment over the black eyeliner. Then, apply a bronzy eyeshadow to your crease (blend with the black). Now, apply a highlighter color to your brow bone down toward the space between your nose and eyes. You can even use this color (or the dark eyeshadow) under your lower lash line. In the photo shown, the highlighter was used under the lower lash line instead of a dark color.
Step 3
Now, apply a black liquid liner to your top lash lines to enhance your lashes.
Step 4
Curl eyelashes if desired (photo does not show this technique). Then, apply mascara of choice. I recommend two or three coats of CoverGirl Lash Blast (as used in photo).
Step 5
Finish the rest of your makeup on your face (like foundation if still needed, bronzer, blush, contouring, lips, etc.).
