Tutorial: Nina Dobrev Emmy-Inspired Makeup Look

Hey everyone! Today’s tutorial is how to achieve Nina Dobrev’s makeup look from the Emmy’s! I primarily used the Urban Decay Naked Palette for this tutorial! Hope you enjoy and comment below if you have any questions J

To get Nina’s look:
-Apply UD Primer Potion all over your lid (including your lower lash line)
-Apply UD Hustle on base of your eye to just above your crease
-Apply UD Gunmetal lightly to base, and then focus it in your crease
-Apply UD Creep heavily to your lash line, smudge a bit toward your crease (gives it the effortless look), and focus it in the outer corner of your eye (gives it the dramatic look)
-Apply a black pencil liner to your bottom lash line (I recommend M.A.C. Eye Kohl in Smolder)
-Apply false lashes to your top lash line (I recommend M.A.C. 4 Lash false lashes)
-Apply a black liquid liner to your top lash line over your false lashes (I recommend M.A.C. Liquidlast Liner. **Tip: applying a liner over false lashes helps to make them look natural and blend in with your look!)
-Apply UD Creep on bottom lash line (gives it the dramatic look)
-Finish with a black mascara over false lashes and lower lashes (I recommend LashBlast Volume Blasting Mascara from Covergirl in Very Black)

And viola! That is the complete Nina Dobrev Emmy look :) I hope you have a wonderful week and if you try this look out, be sure to leave a link to a picture of your recreated look below! xoxo!!

Song of the Moment!

Hey everyone! So first off, I can't wait for GAMEDAY! I love college football <3 Anyway, as I'm getting ready, I have decided to share a little bit of what's on my iPod. This is my favorite song of the moment and I hope you enjoy :)

Update: Where Have I Been?

Hey everyone! Good and bad news, but first- I'M SORRY!!!!!!! I feel so bad for not posting a lot lately!

So for the bad news: I had an intense episode of vertigo (I've thankfully gotten over it), but my work load has skyrocketed! I am limited to how much I can post on my blog :( I had a makeup tutorial filmed to put on youtube and then my laptop crashed for the THIRD time! Such a stressful week!

For the good news: I got a promotion at work!! Woohoo haha but for the really good news- I have created some makeup tutorials and I'm going to be posting them all VERY, VERY soon :) They are fall-inspired looks, but if you want to see some other tutorials, just request them!

I hope you guys had a fabulous week and here's a little sneek peek of my upcoming tutorials:

Sick as a Dog + Current Obsession

Hey everyone! So, I've been feeling really sick the past few days. I just wanted to do a short blog to explain why I've been completely MIA the past few days. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow and hopefully I'll be all better by next week :) I've got a lot of work to do the next few days, as well as prepping for school, so I won't be posting as much anymore :( Just keep reading for more updates!

Also, I decided to start posting at the end of each blog post what I'm currently-at-that-very-moment obsessed with. It may be food, it might be movies, music, people, basically anything! It's just so you guys can learn more about my personal interests :) Like the idea? Let me know in the comments below!
