Nude Lips - How To // Tutorial - Labios Nude

I haven't made a specific lip post in a while and yesterday I decided to make a new one. This time, instead of using bold colors I created a nude lip inspired by Kylie Jenner and the 90's. If you want to know how to get these lips and the products I've used, just keep reading!

1. First, line your lips with the Lip Pencil in Soar by M·A·C. To create a "fuller lips" effect you can slighly overdraw your lips and make a rounded cupid's bow. 

2. With the same lip pencil fill 2/3 of the lips, leaving the inner part untouched. Then apply the lipstick in the color Twig by M·A·C. 

3. To add more dimension to the look I dabbed a lighter nude lipstick in the center of the lips. I used Honolulu Honey's Lipstick by NARS but you can even use some concealer to get the same effect. 

4. To finish the look, add a high shine lipgloss just on the center of the lips. I applied Dior Addict Lip Maximizer which doesn't leave any sticky feeling and it's supposed to plump your lips and give them even more volume! 

Just follow these four easy steps and you're done! I really like to wear this lip combo when I'm wearing bolder eye looks. I hope you like it as much as I do. Kisses!

PS. Tomorrow I'll answer all the comments since these past weeks I almost haven't had time to do anything. I don't want you to think that I've forgotten you!

Contoured Look // Look Contorno Definido

I wore this look as a base for my carnival costume and since I think is something wearable I wanted to share it with you so you can see something a bit different but still nice to wear to go out. I didn't have any special ideas in mind, I just wanted to have a strong contour and some kind of brown smokey eye. The eyes turned out darker than I thought and I even add eyeshadow under the eye (something I don't usually do) but since it was carnival I decided to go for it. I love those days when you can actually play with your makeup and wear a look as bold as you want.

HOW TO GET THIS LOOK:

1. I always start by applying an hydrating cream so I make sure that there are no dry patches underneath my foundation. I didn't apply any kind of makeup base but if you want to, this would be the moment to apply it.

2. Since the eyes were going to be quite strong, I started painting them before applying concealer or foundation. I was going out that night so I needed that my eyeshadows would last for hours. For this I used the Color Arts eye base by Essence which is an amazing low cost product. So worth it!

3. After that with my M·A·C 217 brush I buffed the Microshadow in Desert by Make Up Store (review here) to have an even base color all around the eye. I even used it under the eyes.  

4. Then I added Hustle eyeshadow on the crease with the 219 brush by M·A·C and then I used Sin on the inner corner of the eyes (both shades from the Naked Palette by UD). Finally I blended both colors together with the Fawn shade from Anastasia Beverly Hills' Contour Kit, using the Universal Eyeshadow Brush from & Other Stories.

5. To finish off the eyes I applied two coats of mascara. I used They're real by Benefit because I think it's the one that lasts the most on my lashes without moving (but it's so so hard to take off!)

6. Face time! To make my skin completely even I applied Teint Couture Long-wearing Fluid Foundation by Givenchy with the Oval 6 Brush by M·A·C (this combo is the best for my skin!) After that what I follow my usual steps to conceal my undereye area: I mixed the Pro Longwear Concealer in NC20 and NW15 by M·A·C and apply it with their 224 brush. PS. Don't forget to spread your foundation down your neck.

7. I'm still quite new to the contour & highlight technique so I'm still trying to figure out which are the brushes that work best for my face. I used the Contour Kit by Anastasia Beverly Hills (you can read the review here!) and in this case I applied it with the Pro-39 brush by Burlesque

8. I added a bit of color on my cheeks with the Cire Red Blush by & Other Stories (you can read the review here!)

9. The last step, the lips! This one is super easy, you just need to fill them with the liner Crayon Lèvres Terrybly in 2 Rose Contour By Terry. Over that I just dabbed some EOS lip balm. And thats it!

What do you think of the look? Do you usually use the Contour  Highlight technique? Kisses!

 

Get Katy Perry's Super Bowl Nails - Tutorial // Consigue las Uñas de Kary Perry para la Super Bowl

This Sunday will take place the Super Bowl and singer Katy Perry will perform during the halftime show. She's getting ready for that special moment and this Monday she shared on her Instagram account an image of her freshly painted toes that resembled to small football balls. As you can see just below (you chan check her Instagram here):

 

So today I bring you a super easy nail art tutorial to get your nails ready for the match. I've chosen to make it on my hands since it is so cold here that I am wearing boots all the time and I never show my toes during winter. I hope you like it!

Step 1: Paint your nails with two coats of a brown nail polish, the balls are usually reddish brown but I didn't have that one so I used 612 Bengale by Dior instead. (It was a limited edition but you can use whatever you have at home that you like).

Step 2: With an orange stick, nail art stick (if you have one) or even a needle! Draw a white vertical line in the middle of each nail. Just dip your tool on a white nail polish (I used one from the supermarket which is just 0,99 E) and start from the top and go to the bottom. If your line is a bit crooked don't worry, let it dry and fix it with a bit of brown nail polish.

Step 3: With the same technique as in the step 2, draw 4 to 5 horizontal lines crossing the vertical line. So that your nail will look like the ball seam.

Step 4: Once it's dried, add a shiny top coat to finish off your manicure and protect the lines. And you're done! As easy as that :)

 

Do you watch the Super Bowl? Do you usually wear your nails with drawings? Kisses!

How To: Emma Stone Golden Globes 2015 Look // Part II: Face & Lips

Happy Sunday! As promised, here's the second part of the tutorial on how to get Emma Stone's look of this year Golden Globes Awards. In case you missed it, here's Part I: Eyes.

 

First, before the step by step, I prepped my face with foundation and concealer. I used Fusion Ink Foundation by Yves Saint Laurent (my tone is BD 20) and applied it with the Oval 6 Brush by M·A·C (which I love  and I'll make a review of it soon because it's a very special brush).

 

To cover my undereye circles I used the Full Coverage Concealer in Orange by NYX and over that I dabbed the Pro Longwear Concealer in NW15 by M·A·C. I also used this second concealer to cover any spot or redness on my face. I only use the orange concealer to cover my dark circles when I'm going to wear a lot of makeup, not on a daily basis.

 

This is my routine but of course you can use your own with the products that work for you! And now let's go and finish the tutorial.

 

1. To get that rosy cheeks that Emma wore, I applied the Blush in Heather Silk by Wet n Wild with the Expert Face Brush by Real Techniques. This color is super bright so be careful and apply it softly from the top to the apple of your cheeks.

 

2. Apply on your cheekbones, browbones and top of your lips a highlighter. In my case I used the Radiant Touch Creamy Stick Highlighter in 100 by Kiko. I applied it directly from the tube and blended it with my own fingers to get a natural look.

 

3 & 4. Time for the lips! Emma wore a pink lipstick, it was bright but not like a neon pink. To get a similar look, first I outlined my lips with the liner Crayon Lèvres Terrybly in 2 Rose Contour By Terry. Over that, and directly from the tube, I applied the lipstick Rouge in Love in 383N Midnight Crush by Lancôme. I think the final result looks almost the same as the color from Emma Stone. Tip: She has a big mouth so if you want to get a similar look you can make your lips appear bigger by drawing them a bit outside the lines with the lipliner.

 

Aaaaand this is the final look on me. I did on myself a quick fake curly bob and put on some dangling earrings from Zara to add a bit of glam. It's not my best photo ever but at least you can see the whole makeup (seriously that day the camera was all against me) anyway, I hope you like it! Kisses
 

How To: Emma Stone Golden Globes 2015 Look // Part I: Eyes

Finally! The look worn by Emma Stone to this year Golden Globes Awards! I've made a step by step tutorial on how to get it. I've divided it in two parts, part I for the eyes and part II for the rest of the face. Get ready for a long post full of pictures, tips and tricks that will help you achieve this beautiful makeup look. Enjoy it!

P.S: At the end of the post you can find a big picture with all the steps together, so you can Pin It or save it on your computer just in case you want a complete visual guide to recreate this at home.

1. Start by prepping your eyes with an eyeshadow base, it will make your shadows last longer and they'll stick better. I used Color Arts Eye Base by Essence. 2. After applying it directly onto the lid I made small touches to distribute it evenly and then waited for it to dry completely.

3. To have an even color on the lid and take away any redness I put Pro Longwear Concealer by M·A·C (my shade is NW15) with the concealer brush by Beter. Make sure you cover the entire area up to the brow. 4. I blended the concealer with 224 Brush by M·A·C and with the same brush I applied a nude matte eyeshadow (I used Virgin from Urban Decay Naked Palette).

5 & 6. To create the black cat eye shape, I applied the cream eyeshadow Color Tattoo in Timeless Black by Maybelline with the Shadow/Liner Brush by Benefit. I used its hard bristles to help me create the outer corner. Don't worry if it's not perfect, you can correct it later. This step will help you to create the dark base from where we start working.

7 & 8. To darken the black and define completely the cat eye shape y dabbed black matte eyeshadow all over the cream shadow. For this I used the Artist Shadow in M100 Black by Make Up Forever and the Eyes 212 Brush by Kiko (its short bristles and elongated shape are perfect to blend the eyeshadow and staying into the cat eye shape without having too much fall out).

9. One of the characteristics of this look is that on the outer corner the black shade turns into a deep glittery navy shade. I didn't have one like that so I cheated and created it by using this combo. First, with the 219 Pencil Brush by M·A·C, I applied (just on the outer corner) the blue eyeshadow Bolt from the Ultra Mattes Brights Palette from Sleek. 10. After that, to add the glitter touch, I dabbed over the blue shade the Liquid Eyeliner in 27 Silver by Inglot using the fine brush that comes with it.

 

11. Nex step is eyeliner. From the outer corner up to the middle of the lower lash line I used Stylo Yeux Waterproof in 30 Marine by Chanel. 12. Since I didn't have a white glitter liner I mixed two products again to get the same results. First I used the Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk by NYX and after that, the same liquid glitter eyeliner by Inglot to draw the line up to the inner corner. Tip: If your line is wider than you wanted or if there's too much glitter fall out, don't worry, you can correct it with a cotton bud and some micellar water.

13. Add mascara on your top lashes and also on your bottom lashes. For this look I used the Inimitable Intense Mascara in Noir 10 by Chanel. Tip: If you want to achieve the spidery bottom lashes of Emma Stone, stick them in groups using the tip of the mascara's wand. 14. To finish the look I draw and brushed my eyebrows and applied concealer all around the eye to correct any line that could have gone wrong and define completely the final shape.
