Tutorial: Colorful Electric Palette look

 Start out with priming your eyes. I also used a bit of NYX White Base over my lid.

Apply Freak  (bright green with gold shift, slight smimmer) half way across the lid. I use a MAC 242 and pat the color on.


Apply Fringe (bright metallic teal,slight shimmer) to the other half of the lid, I used a MAC 242 again.

Now we're going to make the color blend nice, so I took my MAC 242 again and patted Freak over the center of the lid.

Here I applyed MAC Wedge (medium-light, neutral brown, matte) just above the crease. I used a Sigma E40 for this step.

Apply  Chaos (bright blue with floating tonal pearl, matte) to the outer two thirds of the crease. I used a Sigma E45 for this.


Apply Urban (bright metallic purple, slight simmer) right on top of Choas and blend into Chaos and up. I used a Simga E45 to place and color and a MAC 217 to blend.

Blend Jilted (bright metallic fuchsia with blue shift, slight shimmer) on top of Urban. We're basically repeating the pervious step, but with another color.

At this point at a look at your work, blend any hard lines. Since the colors are very bold, you wanna make sure they are blended very well and look clean.

Pat a bit of Thrash (bright lime green with floating gold pearl, matte) on to the inner corner. I used a MAC 242 for this.

Add a highlight. I use The Balm Mary Loumanizer on a Sigma E45.


Throw on some winged liner, I also have lashes on at this step.

Smudge some Urban two thirds of the way on the lower lash line. I use the small end of the brush that comes with the Electric Palette.

Add some black to the outer corner and blend with a clean pencil brush, then just add some mascara!

Tutorial: Purple and Green Urban Decay Electric Palette

Purple and Green Look with Urban Decay Electric Palette


Here's the look we'll be creating.

Prime your eyes! I am using Lorac Behind the Scenes primer. Also add a base shadow (matte shadow close to your skin tone) from the crease to brow bone. I used MAC Blanc Type. So sorry for how black my eyes are, I tried another look right before this and apparently didn't do a good job getting my liner off.

Apply a white base to just over half your lid. I used Rimmel Kohl Liner in White.

Blend Mac Wedge (matte, light neutral brown) from the crease to half way up the brow. I used a Sigma E40 for this.

 Take Makeup Forever 17 (matte, chocolate brown) on a Sigma E45. Run it through the crease and blend it up slightly.

Run some black into the outer v, I am using SauceBox Black Widow (matte, black).


Blend it out!
Pat Thrash (slight shimmer, lime green) over the white base.


Blend a bit more Makeup Forever 17.

I then packed on even more Thrash, since I wanted it to be really green.

Clean up any fall out at this point.

Take Urban (slight shimmer, royal purple) and run it along the lash line. Using the smaller end of the brush that comes with the Electric Palette works well for this.

Blend Urban out.

Add a bit of Jilted (matte, bright pink) just under Urban.

Blend those colors together.

Add some winged liner, highlight the inner corner and brow bone and add mascara.

Here's the finished look, I also added Pixi Luxe lashes.

Brows for Redheads

Hey guys! So this week I did two video tutorials with my littler sister Rachel. We did two looks: a bold brow and a natural brow. Next week I should have my normal styled posts. I just got new lighting, so I am rearranging my set up & I wasn't able to make a text and picture tutorial. Also, let me know what tutorials and content you'd like to see in the comments. Pretty please!

Review: Born Pretty Store Lashes in #400 and #1107

I was sent two pairs of lashes, style #1107 and style #400 from Born Pretty Store to review. This is still my honest review. I was not paid for the review, just sent the product.

The packaging for both sets of lashes is very simple.


#1107 in the package, 10 pairs for $2.99


#400 in the package, 10 pairs for $6.99


#400 up close



#1107 up close

Wearing #1107, these lashes are quite pretty on. They looked a little lacking on the package, but add nice volume. They are more dramatic than the #400.

As you can see, they have a nice curl to them & are a reasonable length. I think this style is quite pretty on your eye.





Price: 9/10 
 $2.99 for 10 pairs is pretty cheap, so I'd say these are a good price. 

Style: 8.5/10
I really like the look of these lashes, they are full and give a nice fluttery look.

Comfort: 5/10
These lashes were not very comfortable for me. Someone with a flatter eye shape may find these working better for them, since I have a more rounded shape they were hard to apply and keep the inner corner down. This lash is still a light lash, so I don't see why there couldn't be a thinner band.

Packaging: 2/10
Nothing special, but I would prefer the packaging to hold the lash shape better.

Overall Quality: 4/10 
The lashes are quite pretty on, however, with my eye shape they were so hard to get on and keep on that I don't see myself wearing them often. For the price, they are the quality I would expect.

Repurchase: No
I love the look of the lashes, but the bands are too flat and not flexible enough for me to wear. 



This lash #400 is a natural looking lash. It would be a good day-to-day lash or for times where you want a slightly fuller look to your lashes.


These have a nice curl and length as well.





Price: 9/10 
 $6.99 for 10 pairs is quite cheap, so I'd say these are also a good price. 

Style: 9/10
The style is quite nice. They look natural, but still add a touch of length and volume.

Comfort: 6/10
These lashes were also not very comfortable for me, but fit better than the #1107 style. Flatter eye shapes would like these. 

Packaging: 2/10
Nothing special, but I would prefer the packaging to hold the lash shape better.

Overall Quality: 6/10 
These lashes are quite pretty, however, with my eye shape they were so hard to get on and keep on I don't see myself wearing them often. These are nicer quality than the #1107 and they have a clear band so they also are easier to blend in. They quality is in line with the price.

Repurchase: Maybe
Again, comfort is a big thing for me when it comes to lashes, so unless the lash style is amazing lashes that are hard to wear and uncomfortable aren't my cup of tea. I wear lashes 6-7 days of the week, so I need them to stay on and feel nice. I do like the look of these, however, and they would be a good everyday lash.
