Did you know that my love of SFX makeup has lead me to blogging.
I love using makeup to create a fantasy and have fun.
This months theme is "Black Magic, Witch Craft and more..

I took the HD Trio Eye shadow ($2.99 US) in Skyrise Steel(The darkest colour) and applied it on the tip of my nose and down to my cupids brow. I used the same palette to make the whiskers and highlight my inner eye (the silver).

Revlon Canada gave a few bloggers the opportunity to participate in a challenge which allowed us to receive products based on a fashionable city. We had no idea what city we were getting ahead of time. I was so happy that I got London, England!
When I was younger, I spent a few summers in England with my Granddad and Grandmother. From early age, I've had the opportunity to experience London's Fashion forward culture and loved it.
I still have some of the items in my closet, years later.
Revlon's London look is an intense smoky eye with a natural lip!

Right now my to go look is a cat eye and pink lips. It's a face that I can do in 5 minutes flat! I find it also looks best whenever I go with a natural canvas. That means no foundation, contour, highlighter or blush. No extras!
It's important that your cat eye is clean. There are so many advances out there right now to help you achieve that! A pointy tip liquid liner pen is vice of choice. Essence's liquid eyeliner waterproof “Black” is one of my top fives under $5.00.

An area on my face that doesn't get as much TLC as it should is my brows!
I never know what products to use to get the perfect look. At the event, I got to have a one-on-one with her (She did my brows!!!) and speak about her key products.
From our talk I discovered that I need to invest in brow stencils!
They're easy to use and made of plastic that can cleaned and reused.
A fuller brow works for my bone structure and I need to stop talking so much off the top and let them grow in.
Anastasia Beverly Hills DIPBROW™ Pomade is a bride's best friend!

To set your brows it's good to finish them off with a gel.
