Beauty 101: 5 Minute Winged Liner and Mascara

Lauren Conrad 

So lately I have been getting back into my old routine of wearing mascara, winged liner and a highlight on my brow bone. I love the look so much that I don't know why I ever stopped! Lauren Conrad is the best example of the mascara, winged liner, and highlight look because it has become her signature look, however Lauren and I have two totally different techniques. Below is how I get a great winged liner and mascara look in about five minutes.

1. Begin by applying to your entire eye lid and a little bit after your lashline.
2. Take an eyeliner pencil and make short strokes close to your lashline. The lines can be however thick you would like do not have to be perfect.
3. Take the pencil or a liquid liner and connect the short strokes. Slighty flick the pencil or liquid liner upward to create the winged look.
4. Take your mascara and apply two coats in a zig zag motion. Don't be two rough!
5. Continue with the mascara and brush across the top of your lashes.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for your bottom lashes.
7. Take a highlight shadow with a light shimmer and apply it directly to your brow bone which is underneath your eyebrows.

After these 7 steps you are done! This look will make your eyes pop without using a massive amount of products, lots of blending, and too much color.

Beauty 101: Everyday Beauty Essentials

Every girl has that one go-to product that they can't just go a day without, it'd be the same as going out naked if they didn't put it on. Whether your go-to everyday product are beautiful stud earrings, nail polish, or even a pair of lucky socks, every girl should definitely take to time to learn these beauty essentials. Of course it's perfectly fine to go without these beauty products, which is me most of the time, because you are absolutely beautiful with and without the make-up. These everyday beauty essentials are for the days when you want to look polished, wide-awake, and like you put way more effort in your beauty look than you actually did. 

• Sparkly Nail Polish! Okay, so this may not be your typical beauty product, but I think sparkly nail polish adds a little more personality to a handshake. Any nail polish color will automatically jazz up your fingers and if you use a sparkly polish you won't have to worry so much about obvious chips.
• Mascara! Mascara is probably my 2nd favorite beauty product besides eyeliner because no matter what it always makes your eyelashes stand out. Lengthening and thickening mascara make your lashes pop more in pictures and can even make your eye color appear brighter.
• Lipgloss! Lip gloss is just about every girls first make-up product, it's easy and simple which is perfect for any age. Lip gloss comes in some many different pigmented colors and formulas that it's hard not to find one that works perfectly for you. Just be sure your lips are nice and smooth before you apply or else it will be a crackly mess.
• Bobby pins! Whether you have short, long, curly, or straight hair, bobby pins are your hair's best friend. Bobby pins can be used to create so many different styles as well as hold your hair in place or to just get your hair out of your face. 
• BB Cream! BB creams are a new product to me and they are worth the hype. BB creams help the skin and give a light coverage which is great for everyday since you don't want to pack your skin with too much make-up.

Beauty 101: Magnifibers Brush On False Lashes

 

Magnifibers brush on false lashes has to be my latest beauty obsession and actually makes me want to play up my lashes. Magnifibers was sent to me about a month ago and after a couple weeks of trying it out, my final verdict is that it does exactly what it says. The product makes your lashes appear thicker, bolder, and slightly longer while still looking casual and perfect for everyday wear. You do have to use a regular mascara before applying the magnifibers product as well as after because it shows up as white dust-like fluff on your lashes. However, after the application you will notice a visible difference in the appearnce of your lashes. The only con towards the product is that when the product does get into your eyes it gives off an irritating feeling equivalent to getting an eyelash in your eye.
