Beauty Through The Decades: 80s!

Holy cow! I actually have a picture up for this post! YES! I finally found my camera and cord and had some free time to finally participate again!

Today my lovely guest blogger is Patricia from Beauty Informer! We are rocking some 80's looks for you guys today! Let's get started with Patricia's look. 

Patricia says "I kept true to the vibrancy of the 80's and used my 88 color palette from Coastal Scents to achieve the look. I used a blue for my lids and pink in the crease area. I then used an orange shade above the pink and highlighted my brow area with yellow. I used a bit of the blue, orange and yellow  under my eyes too." 

"For my face, I used some primer, a foundation, and some blush and contour powder. 

I followed this up with a light coat of mascara and pink lipstick and liner. 

Notice my side ponytail with the blue band to match the eye shadow ;)"

I love Patricia's look! I love that it is still completely wearable! Make sure to stop by her blog Beauty Informer! 

I was definitely excited to do an 80's look because, well, I love bright colors! I really went for a bright obnoxious look. It may not be everyone's cup of tea and may not be "wearable" for everyone lol. I consider it wearable, and I actually do normally wear my eye looks like this. My mom always says I should have been born in the 80's!

 

 

I used an e.l.f. brightening eye quad in Punk Funk and a Rimmel London ScandalEYES eyeshadow pencil in witness white to achieve this look. I took the scandalEYES eyeshadow pencil and applied it all over my lid and lined my lower lash line with it. I applied the pink shadow from the quad all over the lids and the purple in the crease. I lined my lower lash line with the blue shadow in the quad. It is a very quick and easy look!

Hope everyone enjoyed this beauty through the decades post! Next week I'll be rocking the 90's with another guest blogger! Don't forget to stop by Patricia's blog, Beauty Informer!

Beauty Through The Decades: 50's!

It's that time of the week again! Beauty Through The Decades. This week is the 50's and my guest blogger is Stephanie from Elegant Rebel Beauty! Let's just jump right in with Stephanie's look!

Stephanie said  "My initial plan when I snagged the 50's was to go with the iconic Marilyn Monroe look, but the more I thought about it the more I realized what an obvious choice that was, and I wanted to do something a little more unexpected.

I chose this Lucille Ball look, which was a promo for her classic show I love Lucy. The show first aired in 1951, and Lucille's portrayal of a strong-willed, mischievous housewife with a penchant for slapstick humour catapulted her into super-stardom. 

She made such amazing headway for TV actresses in wife roles, who up until then were cast to basically just stand there in the kitchen and look pretty. She was outspoken and funny, which was such a huge and courageous statement for a woman to make at that time. It also doesn't hurt that her flaming red locks make her my ginger sister!"

Get The Look

Face: She applied Revlon colorstay whipped creme makeup in ivory, in two coats, to get that flawless, matte finish, followed by Painted Earth HD concealer in fair. 

Eyes: She started with an off white matte (Painted earth mineral eye shadow in Toast) all over her lid to her brow bone. She added Painted earth mineral eye shadow in polished copper over the lid halfway to the brow bone. In a windshield wiper motion, she added a medium matte brown (Key botanicals mineral shadow in Hazel) to just above her natural crease, to create a higher, exaggerated crease. She then added Chickaboom jet set gel liner in black to her upper lash line, very thin from the outer corners and gradually thickening the outer half. She swept Hazel on the outer half of my lower lash line. Quo falsies and Painted Earth super lash mascara in black finished the eyes!

Brows: She drew thin, high arches with big curves, using Painted Earth super wear felt tip brow liner in blonde.

Cheeks: just a little sweep of Painted Earth baked blush in Rose Gold for subtle rosiness. 

Lips: She drew a heart shape, adding two half circles above my upper lip, and a larger half circle on my lower lip, avoiding portions of the lower lip on each side, which she had applied concealer to (to make my bottom lip look longer and more narrow, which creates the bottom of the heart shape). She used Essence lip liner in Red blossom. Then she added Essence lipstick in Red carpet.

Doesn't she just look gorgeous?! Absolutely love the heart shape effect she did with her lips!

Make sure to head on over to Elegant Rebel Beauty to check out Stephanie!

I just want to apologize now for my photos. I have been EXTREMELY busy to the point where I almost forgot to do my look :/ I didn't have a lot of time to do my look and take pictures so they aren't the greatest and I feel bad.  

When I was thinking of my 50's look I had no idea what I wanted to do. Stephanie sent my a picture of Liz Taylor so that was the look I was going to try and recreate! It was out of my comfort zone because of all the eyeliner. I can't wear that much eyeliner because my eyes look extremely small and weird! 

I used a thin coat of the Rimmel London Clean Finish Foundation in Soft Honey. I used the black  e.l.f. cream liner to line my upper and lower lash line and my water line. My eyelashes are naturally pretty long so I applied a few coats of my Wet N Wild Megalength mascara to enhance them.The one thing I was happy to see what Liz's thick eyebrows! It was very easy for me to do that since my eyebrows are already pretty thick! I use the e.l.f. brow kit in dark to fill in and shape my brows. Lastly for the red lips I used the Wet N Wild megalast lipstick in Red Velvet. 

I again want to apologize for my photos!

I also want to thank Stephanie for being apart of the series! I loved your look. Make sure to visit her blog Elegant Rebel Beauty.

Next week we will be visiting the 60's with another guest blogger!

Beauty Through The Decades: 40s!

It's Monday! Are you ready for today's Beauty Through The Decades post?! Today's look is from the 1940's featuring Siri from Scribbled with liner as the guest blogger! Make sure to stop by her blog, have a look around and say hi! I was excited for the 40's look because finally a decade where my eyebrows aren't an issue! They did not need to be pencil thin for this look.

 Let's start off with Siri's look. 

Doesn't she just look lovely?! 

Here is a list of products she used to achieve this look.

• Urban Decay Eyeshadows: Foxy, Walk Of Shame, Naked2, Tease
• 24/7 Eyeliner in Zero
• 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in Perversion
• Naked Skin Foundation
• Ardell Sweeties Lashes

May I just add that her hair is adorable! My hair was not liking the 40's style!

My look

For my 40's hair I tried to do the bold side bang they had going on but like I said my hair just wasn't digging 40's style because it did not want to corporate at all! For this look I wanted to keep it super natural with the shadow and really let the brows, lashes and lips have the spotlight. I just used a light tan color on my lids. I did not define the crease with any colors. Just a swipe of eye shadow and that was all. I used a liquid liner to create a winged looked. I filled in my brows the way I normally would with my e.l.f. eyebrow kit. Of course for my lashes I packed on my Wet N Wild Megalength mascara. I naturally have pretty long lashes so I used multiple coats just to exaggerate them.

I used a bright pink blush by L.A. Colors in blushing pink. For my lips I used a red lip liner all over then I added one coat of Revlon's Colorburst lipstick in Coral on top. For some reason my lipstick looks a little pink in the first picture. 

Don't forget to head on over to Siri's blog Scribbled with liner and check out her 40's post!

Next Monday I'll be rocking a 50's look with another lovely blogger! Stay tuned!

Beauty Through The Decades: 30s!

Now I'm not gonna lie I had a pretty hard time with this 30's look. It wasn't easy finding pictures on Google. From what I gathered they kept it pretty natural on the eyes with some type of red lip. A lot of the looks I found the lid color was almost the same color as their skin tone how ever I don't have a shadow that's the same color as my lids so I went with a matte taupe-y color. 

I used a matte taupe color on the lid. For the crease I used a matte brown that was only a few shades darker. I didn't want it to be really dramatic. I didn't put anything in the outer corners. I used a liquid liner for the my top lash line. Unfortunately I couldn't do my brows like in the 30's because they had they tiniest penciled on eyebrows and my brows are pretty full there was nothing I could do. For my lip I used a berry red lip liner all over my lips. 

  

I tried to really make my contouring darker than usual for this look. I used the bronzer from the e.l.f. blush and bronzer duo because it is a fairly dark bronzer. For my blush I used Peachy Keen by e.l.f.

Next week is the 40's and I have a guest blogger that will be participating !

I still need a guest blogger for the 70's, so if you would like to do a 70's look please let me know!

Beauty Through The Decades: 20s!

It's finally here! The first installment of the Beauty Through The Decades Series! Every Monday will feature a look from a different decade done by myself and a guest blogger. Today's guest blogger is the gorgeous Maria of Amriaa's Blog!

Maria's Look: 

Maria tried this look out with two lipsticks. The first (darker one) is a Max Factor lipstick in 685 Mulberry and the matte red shade is actually a red Avon lip pencil that she used all over her lips. 

For her eyes she used a Jade Starlights palette. She believes there are 20 colors in the palette. She used a champagne for her inner corners and beneath her brows, a brown in the crease and a bit upwards and a glittery black on the lid. All the colors in the palette are shimmery.

Doesn't she just look absolutely gorgeous?!

 Be sure to head over to Maria's blog here to see her post!

My Look:

For my lips I used a Wet N Wild Megalast lipstick in 916D. I used the e.l.f. blush and bronzer duo for contouring and Wet N Wild Reserve Your Cabana for my highlight. (My camera and lighting did not want to corporate with me for these pictures!) 

On my lids I used the Rimmel ScandalEYES eye shadow pencil in witness white as a base. I then used the shimmery off white color from the Wet N Wild ColorIcon Lust palette all over my lids and under my brows. Also from that palette I used the silver shadow for my crease and outer corners. I then used the crease color from the Wet N Wild Spoiled Brat trio. It is a shimmery black. I used this color to define my outer corners. 

20's makeup was just absolutely stunning wasn't it??

Huge thanks to Maria from Amriaa's Blog for being apart of the series! Your look came out amazing!
