Fabulous Tip of the Day: Grunge Lower Lashes

Today's Fab Tip:

Going along with the grunge inspiration from earlier, here's another fab tip from the Charlie XCX beauty shoot from March Cosmo:

"Channel your inner Kate Moss (after a long, rowdy night with Johnny Depp) by rocking liner that's deliberately smudged below your lower lash line. Easier than pulling a bender: Use a soft pencil... to rim inner eyes, then sweep a smudge brush dipped in charcoal shadow back and forth at your lash lines for a worn-in effect."
-- Taken from Cosmopolitan magazine, March 2015, page 164.

Applying a cream or kajal pencil to your waterline might be easier for a beginner, and if it isn't smudgy enough, use a q-tip to really give it that lived-in look. Don't forget to apply mascara on your lower lashes as well to really emphasis the liner and make the look pop! Honestly, this is one of my everyday makeup looks.

Makeup Inspiration of the Week: Michelle Phan's Grunge Look

This week's fabulous makeup tutorial pic is the Gunge Beauty look by Michelle Phan! This is a gorgeous look which showcases a great way to do very dark lips paired with not too bold eyes. I personally would prefer something more smudgy on the eyes, but that's just me. Smudgy kohl eye makeup is my go-to these days.




I just love this look so much. Today I'm wearing it paired with black jeggings, ankle boots, and my grey Nirvana sweatshirt, along with messy fishtail braids in my hair. It's definitely a look that's both comfortable and alt-chic.

What makeup look are you inspired by this week? Let me know in the comments!

Fabulous Tip of the Day: '90s Brown Makeup

Today's Fab Tip:

"Think of brown makeup as the Taylor Swift of the '90s-- it was everywhere. Now, it's back in a far more face-flattering way. For the monochromatic look, concentrate matte bronzer in the hollows of your cheeks, then use the same powder in the crease of your eyelids. Top lips with a creamy lipstick in a matching tone[.]"
-- Taken from Cosmopolitan magazine, March 2015, page 165.

Using the same color on your eyes, lips, and cheeks (think NARS Multiple style) gives you an instantly pulled together look. Plus it's a lot easier and quicker than using a ton of different products. Great for a '90s throwback kind of day while still being very right now. Have fun with it!
