Pink + Green = ...Blue?

I put my Pistachio NYX Macaron Lippie on my top lip and the Rose Lippie on my bottom lip to take a cool Valentine picture with a Sweetheart, and after I was done, I rubbed my lips together to see what kind of a color it would make and it turned....blue? It was a super cute baby blue! Why on Earth did pink and green make blue? No idea!

Easy Contouring!

Okay today I will tell you about my contouring routine and what I use! So after I moisturize, apply my Porefessional from Benefit, and foundation, I work on my contouring! 

Recently I got the NYX Born to Glow Liquid Illuminator and have been using it as my highlighter- full review to come soon- and it's pretty good. I apply it like this--

Down my nose, cupid's bow, chin and along the higher parts of my cheek bones. I use Kim Kardashian's picture of the way her makeup artist, Mario Dedivanovic (Instagram- makeupbymario), does her contouring because it really is gorgeous. See here- 

The only difference is that I tailor this look for my own face shape. 

As far as bronzer, I apply it to the sides of my nose to make it appear thinner, my temples connecting it towards the outer part of my face to underneath my cheek bones to make them pop, and then my neck to make sure there's no harsh line from my pale neck to my nicely bronzed face! As such-

I use an E.L.F Healthy Glow Bronzer that I got for pretty cheap from like Walmart (I'm all about cheap makeup that works). 

And this is the finished product!!

It looks shimmery and glowing! 

Going Green!

I got my new lipsticks I ordered the other day! I got two of the NYX Macaron lippies! This is the Pistachio color. I've been getting tons of compliments from people all over campus. I love it because I don't even try to match it to my outfits, it just works with everything! The only problem I'm having with it is that people keep calling it blue!!! Even though it's actually green ish. Maybe I'll wear my other new color tomorrow (;

Using my OCC blue lip tar today😘💙

Feeling A Little Un-Yeezy

Can we just take a moment to look at and ponder over Kanye West's new music video for Only One? 

I'm not a huge fan of him or the song, but I like trying to stay somewhat in the loop for current celeb events and doings, so I just took some time today to watch it. 

I'd like to repeat, I don't know a whole hell of a lot about music or the industry, so this is purely a viewer's opinion. 

The music video is so...un-Yeezy. I love it because the concept is great....simple tribute to his beautiful little girl (and his mother, just not in the video part). They look so cute walking around together, holding hands, typical father-baby daughter things. The video actually changed my view of him slightly because it looks at him as a loving, kind father, instead of the way he has been portrayed through the media, the Taylor Swift incident (because I love her so very much), and even in his own songs. The way he was looking at his baby girl was the look of a truly proud, caring father. 

However, the way it was done...I could have shot it better with my iPhone. And what's with the creepy auto-tuned laugh at the beginning? I feel like it's incredibly irrelevant to the song, video, everything.  Lyrically, the song is beautiful, but the whole video is also super auto-tuned, like T Pain auto-tuned. He has a great voice and there is no need for that much auto-tuning. I can barely understand him throughout most of the video because of this. Then, towards the end, he's singing in the video as his voice-over is singing it too and it just sounds like a bit of a mess. 

So overall~

Song- great

Video- great concept, poorly executed

But don't let me tell you how to think! Watch it for yourself!
