March Madness

                 Hey everyone! I am back and I have missed you guys a ton! I also have missed posting for you guys and March has been madness to say the least. I have not posted since March 14th so I have been gone for about a month. I am going to tell you why I decided to take a break from blogging. First, My spring break was the first full week of March and that within itself was crazy. During that week I got into a bad car accident. Yes! A car accident even though I do not drive. I was with a friend who was driving and we were heading back from the mall. We both did not see the red light and just kept going and T-boned the other car that was making a left turn. The impact turn our car completely around and I thank God that I only walked out with a bruised sternum. I was pretty medicated the last couple of days of my spring break so I posted some on the blog. Week after that I started school which was pretty crazy and I also I had received some bad reports which I will not share. Then my boyfriend and I spent our birthday having a nice lunch and just hanging out for that weekend. After that I realized I only had a couple of weeks left before my competition which I am excited to show you guys my make-up for it. I had to get started on it ASAP and I almost finished. I just had to give up some time to finish the art pieces that I am entering. But after Competition I will definitely be posting more I have some exciting post for you guys. I just had a lot of personal issues going on in March. But I hope you like the new stuff I will be posting.

The Adventures of BC and Her Nonsense

Hey everyone! I miss you guys!
     First off let me tell you what happen in my past week. Just completely chaos. I am so sorry for not posting but I did not have time to create make-up looks. Last weekend my cable and internet connection went out because the wire or main connection was broken in half. I was so mad because I had no connection and I could not even do my homework and I had a huge essay due Tuesday  After it got fix I had Fine arts practice and all this week I have been working on my project because I have one month left until my competition date. Then of course my essay was due and my homework that I missed was due as well. I had absolutely no time to paint my self hahaha. So do not think I just abandoned you :)
     "Would you like cheese with my wine" Enough. Moving on, this make-up look is called Pop Art and it has been really popular lately. I have seen a lot of photos on Tumblr. I wanted to join the bandwagon and give it a try. I think I did a pretty good job tell me what you think in a comment below.
I started with a primer and concealer  I made sure that I concealed my entire face because for a comic character they are 2D. Then instead of foundation I put a light layer of white face paint. Then with black paint I took a liner brush or just a simple painting brush and lined my eyebrows, contoured my cheeks, lined my nostrils, down the nose, lined my chin, the inner corner of my eye, lined my whole entire outer face, including ears, lined two little lines in front of my eyebrows, and lined my lips. Then i primed my eyes with Two Faced Shadow Insurance and applied mix of two deep purples. One from the UD Vice Palette called Vice and another by UD called Psychedelic sister. I only applied that on my lid and no further then my crease. I took my eye liner then lined my lash line and winged it just a bit. I also lined my crease with the liner and connected it to the wing. The I took UD 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in black and lined my waterline. I applied Maybelline Very Cherry 635 lipstick on my lips and took some white paint and applied a highlight on the side of my lip. The final touch I took a red face paint and applied polka dots all over my face where there were no black lines. This is two additional steps applying mascara I used Maybelline The Rocket in black and I dyed my hair white/yellow. Ta-Da You are all done and ready to hit the cover of your favorite comic book.


I hope you guys enjoyed :)
I love you so much and remember you are beautiful

Have a great night :)

EyeBrows! Finally

                                                                                           I have been having a hard time filling in my eyebrows and trying to find products. I have used a lot of different products before and none of them seem to match the color of my eyebrows maybe I'm just really bad at picking the right colors for my eyebrows. Some are just too light and some are to dark and some are just way off they don't even match in anyway possible. I'm here to help you and say that it is okay to mix colors if you're just having no luck in the stores finding the right colors for your eyebrows. What I use is my BH Cosmetics angle brush and I use 2 colors I use the brown from this Almay trio palette. I'm sorry to say but I do not know the name of this palette I've had it for a really long time and it's just a trio palette with a silver, a grey, and a light brown. I mix the brown from the trio palette with this is cool grey brown from The Vice palette called desperation ( Urban Decay). I mix these two colors together and it just creates the perfect brown for my eyebrows it's not too dark and it's not too light just perfect. One thing I don't like about this is that it has a bit of shimmer to it. These two colors are both frost shadows and so when my eyebrows hit the light you can see them sparkle a little bit and I'm not a real big fan of it. But it is the right color so this is just temporary until I could find a color that's the same as these two colors combined without frost. I did mention in my favorites video of 2012 that I liked the Shiseido pencil for eyebrows but I realized it was way too light for my eyebrows.

      Now for some beauty tips on grooming your eyebrows. You're going to need cuticle scissors, tweezers, and a little eyebrow razor. Take any pencil or eyeshadow brush anything really you're just going to need it to line it with your nose to find out where your eyebrows start and where it ends. Let's get started take your pencil or eyeshadow brush and line at the edge of your nose and also the inner corner of your eye this will depict where your eyebrows start anything that is on the opposite side of your pencil or brush must be shaved off. To find where your arch should be once again line your pencil or brush at the edge of your nose and across your pupil wherever your brush is that's where are you should be tweeze any excess hair that is there or shave of the hair. Now to find where your eyebrows should end take your pencil or brush again line it with the edge of your nose and to the outer corner of your eye wherever your brush lands that's where your eyebrow should end anything that's passed the brush needs to be shaved off or plucked. I forgot to mention that you would need a eyebrow comb. For the next step of brow grooming take your eyebrow comb and brush all your hair upwards anything that's passing your natural eyebrow line take your cuticle scissors and cut it off. Do this throughout your entire eyebrow. On the same eyebrow take your eyebrow comb and brush your hair downwards anything that's beneath your natural eyebrow line needs to be cut off. The reason why you need to take this last is because by trimming your eyebrow hairs it thins out your eyebrows so it doesn't look as thick. This is an extra beauty tip if your face is thinner and you have more contoured features then you want to round out your eyebrows. But if you have more of a round face and you don't have a lot of contoured features then you want to have more of a higher arch in your brow meaning you want more of an angular brow. These little tricks will just cancel out each other.

Have an Eyerbowlicious Day!!
