How to: Conceal undereye circles and not look cakey

Step one::If you have dark circles we will correct that first. I like to use a yellow based corrector like Ben Nye's Mellow yellow in normal. What is usually recommended is a pink based corrector like Benefits Erase Paste. I like Ben Nyes corrector because its a lot more pigmented and I have quite noticeable dark circles.

Step Two:: This shows the placement of where to put your corrector. It should go right under the fatty pocket under your eye. If you smile you can tell where this fatty pocket is located. With the corrector on your brush use the tip of the brush to place it under the fatty pocket. Don't use the flat side of your concealer brush. Then with your finger tap the corrector around the pocket to blend Do Not wipe. If you feel that he consistency of your corrector is to thick for you use a smidge bit your moisturizer to thin it out. If you dont have dark circles and is content with just normal concealer skip to next step.

Step Three:: Use a concealer that is he same color has your skin. I use a cream concealer but if you are concerned with cakeyness again mix it with just a little bit of moisturizer. A liquid concealer would be great too.

Step Four:: This shows the placement of your concealer. This time you can go up to the lash line. If your concealer is a little light for you and you go up to the lash line that fatty pocket could seem to look bigger so make sure it matches ur skin. Its kind of like the theory of high lights and shadows. If you highlight something that is already standing out it will be even more noticeable. That is why the corrector goes under the fatty pocket not over it. You don't want to look like you have really round fatty eyes do you? lol

Step Five:: Conceal blemishes and Foundation

Makeup Forever Seminar at Nigels and My first LUSH product!

Yesterday I attended the Makeup Forever student Seminar held at Nigels and was instructed by Kevin James Bennett. I learned sooo muchhh!! Mostly about the world of HD. As much as I love MUFE I always thought there are other products I could use that are cheaper and can do the same thing. I was totally wrong Makeup Forever products are specially formulated and you are definitely getting what you pay for. For example lets say the Smokey Lash waterproof mascara. I can get water proof mascara anywhere and as we all know wearing water proof mascara everyday isn't really good for your lashes, well the Smokey Lash is formulated so you can wear it every day and it won't ruin your lashes. It also is the blackest of the blackest mascaras out there. Dior show is the blackest of black mascaras on the market and Mufes Smokey Lash was made in the Dior factory or someting like that lol. I love Make up forever so much I just might have to save up for the whole makeup line.

I always said I'd never fall on the Lush bandwagon but I went in there and saw a heart shaped glittered soap bar. I do like there bath bombs and fizzes and all but my bath tub isn't big and I wouldn't feel comfortable laying in it. Only if I was back home in florida with the jacuzzi =*(

I'm going back on Youtube..

I totally made a new video on my new digi cam because it records HD videos but my Windows movie maker won't let me edit it because it's not compatible with HD videos. It says it's missing a CodeC????? If anyone has come across this please help me because I would love to use this camera if not I'll just have to go back to my old one.

I definitely don't know what videos to do anyways so please leave a comment for any request on certain looks, nail tutorials, update on any of my daily routines, whateverrr.

In the mean time I I'll show you some of the projects I've done in class

The project was to do a makeup design for a computer company. The makeup should be futuristic like or it should be based on computers.

For this project we had to make a makeup design based on a sorceress. I made the lashes by curling single hairs of feathers and gluing them the shaft of the lashes.

Save your face from all that makeup!

I get this question all the time


Q:: How do you not break out from all that makeup you wear at school?


A:: Here are some tips for heavy makeup users

For every day makeup always use a primer.
Some primer brands are-- Rimmel, Smashbox, MUFE, MAC,
This creates a barrier over your skin so foundation doesn't seep into your pores


Ok for those heavy makeup users who like a very heavy coverage.

Use Derma shield

This is the heavy duty stuff. Usually actors use this stuff because of the amount of makeup they are putting on their skin. To show you how well this works watch this video.

And last but now least see my skin care routine (you can find on the side bar)
