The Brown Wedding

Hi beauties. This past weekend I had the amazing pleasure of doing wedding makeup for this bride. Shelbe has been a long time friend (the going on 12+ years type of friend). Even when she moved away in middle school, her, Jenny and I have always stayed in touch. This Saturday she got married and she asked me to come and be her makeup artist! I was so honored and honestly, how hard is it to do bridal makeup on somebody who's already so gorgeous? It was a beautiful day and I love how her makeup turned out so here are a few snaps and some of the products I used. Enjoy!

Glamorous Silver Makeup Tutorial + Urban Decay Heavy Metal Liner Review

I was playing around with my makeup the other day and realized I have yet to use most of my Urban Decay Heavy Metal glitter liners! I won the whole color range in a giveaway from Sona (MakeupBySona) last summer I believe and they're hardly touched. So I was inspired to put a little glamorous twist on this pretty simple silver smokey eye. I love it with and without the glitter, and you can also wear this look without the lashes, which I think would be just as pretty. 

These are pretty great as far as glitter liners go. Most of the time I find products like this burn my eyes and make them water a ton, but these UD liners don't do that. They also dry pretty quickly, even when I placed them all over my eyelid. All in all I think this is a great option if you're looking for a fun product to add some sparkle to your look! Check out all of the colors here.

Blake Lively Inspired Eye Makeup Tutorial

 For a while now, Blake Lively has been a slight obsession of mine (haha!). Her makeup is always gorgeous, her style is perfect and her hair. Can we just talk about her hair?! It's amazing. AND she says that she eats cupcakes on a regular basis without working out and manages to stay so skinny. Can I just be her for a day?

Anyways, enough gushing. I found these pictures of her makeup (below) which is the epitome of her normal look, and I thought I'd recreate it. It's a pretty simple gold smokey eye with really neutral face and lips. She has hooded eye, like I do, and she sticks with this look as it works great on smaller eyes! I hope you enjoy and let me know if you recreate it!

Festive Face of the Day (4th of July)

Here are a few pictures of my 4th of July look today! I added a bit of blue on the bottom lashline for a fun addition to my usual natural eye. The shadows are actually from a Coastal Scents palette and a NYX Smokey Eye palette. I also added a few Urban Decay products to make the color really pop. I placed ULTRAVIOLET 24/7 Glide on Eye Pencil in my waterline and dabbed a bit of the SPANDEX Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliner on the bottom lashline—very, very lightly.

I hope you enjoy your Independence Day. Spend today free of worries & celebrating all of the blessings in your life, including our amazing country!

Smokey Bronze Eye {Makeup Tutorial Using the Naked Palette}

One of my favorite Christmas presents ever was the Naked palette, which I got last year. I use it almost every day and there are endless possibilities when it comes to the finished look you can create. One of my best friends, Alli, let me use her as a model. (She has the most gorgeous eyes, right?! Perfect for playing around with makeup). The smokey bronzed eye was inspired by this makeup look I found on Pinterest, but we decided to make it a bit more wearable. It's so easy to achieve, so keep reading! 

STEP ONE: Prime your eyes or dap on concealer. It will make the shadow stick more! Sweep toasted all over the lid and into the crease. Use naked to blend out the edge so there isn't a harsh line.

STEP TWO: Brush sin into the inner third of the eye and around the tear duct area. Blend well.

STEP THREE: With a blending brush place darkhorse on the outer corner and up into the crease. Gently blend it out and pull it towards the center of the eye, so it creates a small triangle. If needed, use a bit of toasted to blend it out better. Add darkhorse the the bottom lashline, only on the outer two thirds.

STEP FOUR: Using a small pencil brush, lightly place creep in the outer-v. Don't blend it out as far as darkhorse, keep the color more concentrated in the very corner. Deepen the outer third on the bottom lash line with creep.

STEP FIVE: Finish with a bit of sin in the inner third of the bottom lash line as well as the brow bone. Add liquid liner and loads of mascara and you're done! Wahh-laa!

If you try this look make sure to send me a picture! Tweet it to me, put it on my facebook page or tag me on Instagram (@cassiedulworth)! I would love to see it.
