Eyes Lips Face FOTD - Oil Paint FOTD

I was going to see a advanced screening of intruders with my hubby on tuesday and decided to do my eye make up. I had recently saw a post on Bows and Curtseys, and was inspired to do this look. Btw the movie was with Clive Owen and it was good we just dont know what the ending is. All of a sudden the lights came on and a guy came to the front telling us they didnt send them a finished movie and had free movie passes for all of us. I did get a treat afterwards!!

MM Mint Chocolate Chip and Carmel Brownie Gelato <3 I totally recommend going into the Gelato Spot in Scottsdale. Its incredibly delicious.

*NYX Milk Jumbo Pencil

*ELF Classic Palette

*Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Eye Pen

*Maybelline Illegal Length Mascara


the colors look better in the blurry pic. I couldnt capture the way it actually looked :/

I love makeup, I love how it makes me feel excited when I see new products, I love shopping for it, I love testing it and ultimately I love how it can change how you feel about yourself.

Youtube videos?? Topic Suggestions?? Products you want reviewed?? etc..

My hubby has suggested me to do make up tutorials for youtube but i dont even know how you set up the camera so that its exactly on your eye and how you even see what you are doing lol Maybe im sounding dumb but i dried recording with my digital cam before a tutorial and it was all over the place. Didnt exactly pan out for me. Anybody have any tips or suggestions?? Also my pics ive been using the macro setting but upclose pics of my eyes are always blurry or washed out. I know i have horrible lighting in my apt. I might have to break out my hubby's light kit for his photography. Too bad he wont let me touch his expensive pentax camera :(

 

Also is there any series you guys would like to see?? certain products being reviewed?? any certain topics?? let me know in the comments!! thanks!!
