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!

Beauty Through The Decades Series! (beauty bloggers needed!)

Lately I've been thinking about different series that I could do and as I was looking at pictures of makeup and that's when I thought a Beauty Through The Decades Series would be fun! I would do a makeup tutorial for each of the decades. I thought it would be different to highlight the makeup trends of all the decades and how far makeup has come!

However I didn't just want to do this by myself. I want to incorporate other bloggers! I am going to do a look for each of the decades but I would like to also feature a blogger in each post with their makeup look for that decade. That way people can see how the makeup trend from those decades look on some else also and not just me.   

These looks will be posted every Monday starting next week.

If you would like to participate in the Beauty Through The Decades Series please shoot me an email at allthings_ally@yahoo.com with the series as the subject and we can discuss which decade you would like to do! 

The decades will be:

Make-up Madness Series!

Finally ! I came up with a "series" to do! I am calling it make-up madness. I am going to be sharing with you guys the collections of the different brands of makeup that I own and what I think about their products. Also which ones I think are hits and misses. The posts will be broken up by brand. I really like posts like this because it gives people an idea of what products are really good and which ones may not be worth investing in. 

Make-up Madness will start tomorrow with my first post being e.l.f. cosmetics essentials.  The rest of the posts will follow in this order:

• e.l.f. cosmetics studio collection
• wet n wild cosmetics collection
• maybelline new york cosmetics collection
• Revlon cosmetics collection 
• Drug store cosmetics miscellaneous 

I hope you guys enjoy this little series and I hope to do more after this one!
