Jade Smokey Eye Tutorial Using Lorac Pro Palette 2 & Simplehuman 5X Sensor Vanity Mirror

I received the Lorac Pro Palette 2 for Christmas and have been loving it! Right on Christmas day I even used it to create this Jade Smokey Eye look that I wore for the festivities as well as family portraits that I took for my dad’s present with my new Canon Rebel t3i. This palette is super versatile, can create day or night looks, and has both matte and shimmer shades.

Quick video tutorial on how I apply blush!

Ok guys I made my first mini video tutorial! It’s showing you how I apply blush all over my face. Enjoy! Let me know what you think 🙂

How I Contour My Face

Here’s how I contour my fair skin for a very chiseled look! Contouring can give you an instant nose job, cheek bones, get rid of a double chin, make your forehead smaller, and more!

Hello Beauties- so I’d say it’s been a little less than 2 years since I learned how to properly contour. Before that I used to think why would I do that?

I have since learned the error of my ways and while I’m not the World’s Best Contour Artist I can show you my tips.

Why contour?
