Rule! in the crease

The past few times that I have done my makeup I have been very drawn to using rule eyeshadow just above my crease line. Rule is a matte orange eyeshadow. Not many people seem to be drawn to the color orange for an eyeshadow. In fact I don't really like the color at all. But I have been playing with my makeup and have found oranges and colors one wouldn't normally wear to look the best! Now I have been doing very simple, kinda neutral makeup and adding rule just seems to make it POP and give it that extra edge!

You might not be able to see the colors very well in the picture below but I'm telling you it was lovely!

For this look I used:
Smoke & diamonds -e/s inner corner
Glamour Check! -outer half
Spiced Chocolate e/s -in the outer corner & into the crease
Saddle e/s & rule e/s -mixed above the crease
Soft Force -for a highlight
For lips:
Fabby l/s
Funtabulous l/g

I didn't wear any foundation or do my brows mostly because it does kinda look overwhelming for my taste during the daytime. Although I have done it before with no issues I was just not feeling it yesterday.. :P lol

If you are a woman of color try using colors like rule. It will warm up any look and give it that extra edge that you may be missing form your makeup that day. You will love it as much as I!!

 PS. I promise to get another camera soon so that you can atually see what is going on with the makeup!! Because right about now the pics are washed out like crazy... I dont like it!!

One by one..

I am currently redoing some of my twists one by one. The main thing that I dont like about wearing styles like this whether its twists or braids or what have you, they always slip down and get frizzy at the roots.

Sometimes people mistake that for growth. I know that my hair grows at 1/2 inch a month. I am not using any growth aids at the moment so I know that I am not getting any extra growth. However looking at what some may mistake as new growth I have between 1-2" of growth. I have only had my twists in for about a month. There has been 1/2" of growth. Therefore I have between 1/2- 1 1/2" of slippage.. :(

I redid the front row and am about to start on the middle to redo all the areas that you can see. Or just the parts that I'm tired of looking at.

I'm in my car most of the time so heres a few pics of how my roots look after a month. I have a little buildup on some of the braids which is not cute, and another reason why I am redoing some of them. It looks tacky when girls walk around with all that buildup at the roots. eww... Me no likey...

Its way more vibrant & looks much better in real life. I NEED MY CAMERA!! LOL

I used UDPP as my base.

In the inner corner I applied Museum Bronze pigment with a 239 brush.

In the middle third I applied Trax e/s with the 239.

The outer corner I used Signed Sealed e/s packed on with a 239 brush then blended into the crease with a 217 and Rule e/s.

For highlight I used Ricepaper e/s with a 252 brush and also in the inner corner with a 219.

On the lower lash line I lined with Trax e/s and Signed Sealed e/s in the outer corner.

I blended Rule into the outer corner of the lower lash line.

I used Lash Blast mascara and Revlon colorstay liquid liner.
For the waterline I used L'oreal HIP kohl eyeliner.

I love the look I get when Rule e/s is used in the crease. You cant go wrong with a neutral look that has a pop of color! :)
I wil be getting a new camera soon so the pics will be much clearer.

This is what I would have done on myself had I been a brides maid in the wedding that I did for my cousin. :) Video will be up soon just have to edit it!

I still have a problem with urban decay primer potion

Now this product I absolutley love!! I cant live without! I use it every single time I wear eyemakeup! (unless I'm wearing MAC paintpots...) But they changed the shape of the applicator and look I have a problem!!
