Less than a week ago, I got my first ever MAC makeup stash.  At the time, I promised that my next makeup tutorial would use the MAC Cosmetics I got.

Well, I always live up to a promise.

Today I’ll be using MAC eye shadow and lip gloss (along with some other brands) to get a great summer look.  I call this Tropical Storm because it uses tropical colors (blue, green, yellow.)  It’s also stormy and smoky.

This is a pretty heavy look, using a lot of color.  Because of this, you may want to limit it to special occasions.  For instance, it would look nice at some club after a long day at the beach.

Although, if you’re like me, you may want to wear it any ol’ time.  I really do like wearing a lot of makeup.

Get ready for the Tropical Storm makeup tutorial!

Mmm, I just love lemon lime. Whether it’s a food or drink, it nearly always tastes good. What a great flavor combination! Since it can be so good for flavors, why not for makeup, too? Sure, we won’t be tasting this look, but it can still look as fresh and bright as lemon lime.

I was actually inspired to do this look today because I’m wearing a green shirt. You’ll see that in the end, the green on my eyes doesn’t really match the green on my shirt.

Oops! Oh well, you can’t always help what the end result is once you use your inspiration. Right?

Get ready, because we are so about to learn the Lemon Lime Look.

Follow these steps and you should come out with a similar makeup look.

I don’t always like to play it safe. In fact, I like to go crazy sometimes. Many people would avoid the look I’m going to teach you today, but whatever. I think it’s cute!

I think about the fact that I have nearly every color in the rainbow when it comes to eye shadow, so why not have a look that is…well…a rainbow?

So, that’s exactly what I’m doing. Be prepared for Rainbow Eyes! This is the most colorful makeup look I’ve ever done. And you’ll get to see how I did it here.

Buckle up, because this is going to be fun.

I had two inspirations for today’s makeup tutorial. First, the inspiration for the name. If you’ve ever seen waters surrounding a glacier, you’ll know that it can be a really bright blue-green color. It’s amazing, like something you would see at the best ocean beaches in the world. At Glacier National Park in Montana, US, they have these waters. The water turns this color because of ‘glacial dust.’ This was the inspiration for the name of this look, as well as the general color scheme.

I also got inspiration for this look from Christine over at Temptalia. She uses MAC to get some amazing eye makeup looks, and lately she’s been doing makeup similar to what I’m going to do here.

The biggest difference is that I won’t be using MAC. Not that I don’t like it or anything. I just want to show that you can do very similar makeup techniques with many different makeup brands.

So, Read on to learn how to do this Glacial Dust makeup technique featuring blue and green shades of eye shadow. Read the rest of this entry »

Today is Tuesday, and you know what that means: a new makeup tutorial! Today, I’m going to show you how to accomplish Watermelon Eyes. When I think of watermelons, besides how much I hate the way they taste, I think of the colors pink and green. With this eye makeup tutorial, you’ll end up with a bright green and pink eyeshadow look.

Watermelon Eyes is intended to be bright and clean. It’s a look perfect for spring. It’s also great for both day and night.

First, you start with a naked face, just as always: Read the rest of this entry »
