Meet Roza!

Last weekend my husband and I went to a friend's house to hang out. Our friend Roza has been wanting me to do her makeup for her for a while now. She has also agreed to be my model for upcoming shoots with photographers that I have been speaking with. I love the shape of her eyes. She has the perfect almond shape to them. She wanted a dark, smokey type eye so that's what I did. She doesn't wear much makeup at all; especially eye makeup. She usually wears mascara, eyeliner, foundation, and lipstick. This was different for her but she loved it! At first I was worried about her eye shape because I've never worked on anyone with the shape of her eyes. I found her eye shape to be one of the easiest to work on. I can't wait to do other looks on her. So, without further ado.... meet Roza.

This is how she normally does her makeup

This is after

I don't have a before picture of her. She didn't want me to take her picture with no makeup on. I used her foundation, her concealer, and a makeup palette she has from Victoria Secrets. She has the type of skin that is very sensitive and breaks out easily, so that's why we used her foundation and concealer. After using her foundation I think I may have to check it out. It's from Origins. It applied so smooth and did not streak at all. Although the colors of the eyeshadow were gorgeous, that palette had so much fallout and I regret using it. But her makeup turned out lovely, and she loved it so much. She said it made her want to get all dressed up and go somewhere. That definitely made me feel good!

Well, I hope you like the look. Definitely expect more looks with Roza!

*Tropical Bird Series* Sun Conure

Here's the second look in my tropical bird series. This look is based off of Tequila, a sun conure. She is also one of my mother-in-law's birds. I have nicknamed her diva because of her attitude. If she is not the first one you give attention to when you walk in the house she turns her back to you and "yells" at you. She is definitely a sweetheart, but has a killer attitude. I love her and her colors. I made this look a little more wearable than my last look in the series. Some may not wear this out because of the colors, but I definitely would. Please excuse the eyeliner. My gel liner is starting to dry out so it doesn't glide on as easily as it used to. Speaking of. Would anyone like to recommend a gel liner? I've used MAC blacktrack fluidline, Wet'n'Wild gel liner, Maybelline Eyestudio gel liner, and Physician's Formula gel liner. The one I'm using now is the Maybelline. I'm open to any price range. I just need to find a good one that doesn't dry out after a few months and glides on smooth.

This is Tequila

~Kiss Me~

I know I've been a bad blogger! These past couple weeks have been rough. But anyway. Here's a look I came up with yesterday. My day started out with minimal makeup. I just had on mascara, foundation, blush, and lipstick. I got bored and decided to play, and this is what I came up with.... Let me know what you think of the shape I made.

Please excuse my chapped, flakey lips

Blogger! WTH?

I'm having a LOT of trouble with blogger lately. I'm having trouble looking at certain blogs, and I just tried to do a post and I can't upload pictures. WTH? I had my entire post written, and then blogger said "eff you, Toshia!" Oh well. I'll try again later..... I sure hope it's working later because I have the next in my tropical bird series to show you guys/gals. I also have a look I did yesterday, and a make over I did on a friend.

Naked with a Twist

Today I went back to my neutral look since I couldn't think of anything I wanted to do. I decided to add a pop of color to give it a lil something extra. No pictures of my face because it's very dry and irritated right now. This weather is crazy! Anyway, I hope you like and thanks for looking! Oh, I will be continuing my tropical bird series tonight.

Fierce Cut Crease

Hi all,

I was playing around today and decided to try the cut crease.....again. I usually don't have much luck at it because my hands aren't steady at all. I feel I was pretty successful with this look. I was in the mood for something more dramatic than what I usually wear during the day (although I don't limit myself to certain looks). Hope you like and thanks for looking! SONJA!!! - I got more lip butters haha.

*Tropical Bird Series* Macaw

Finally! I am starting my tropical bird series. There will be a total of 9 birds in the series, so 9 looks you will get! My mother-in-law has a Macaw that she rescued about a month or so ago. Her name is Lulu. She is completely gorgeous and HUGE! As soon as I saw her I knew I wanted to do makeup inspired by her. So, here is my interpretation of Lulu.

This is Lulu.



Yes, I only did one eye. The black lines in the inner corner represent the black feathers that are on her face. They almost look like zebra stripes on her. She has a lot of color, so I just went for it haha. I did not have any plans at all when I started this. I just started adding colors and this is how it turned out. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet, but I don't hate it so that's good. Anyway, I hope you like.
