File_002

Hello My Bondbeautys,

Another beautiful Friday and I’m ready to share this fun, trendy makeup look with you! Im going to cut down on chit chat and lets just get started. I have been obsessing over the Cartoon Eyeliner Trend that has been taking over Instagram. I wanted to recreate a summer bronzey look & combine it with Cartoon Liner. I love how it turned out and I know you will too. (Full Tutorial Below)

File_000

I started out with a Gold Bronzey Eyeshadow look and added a pop of color with the liner. Surprisingly Cartoon liner is really simple! I just made a super bold cat eye shape with Teal Gel Liner. Then I outlined it with a black eyeliner. It took time and patience but it was worth it. Take your time, its ok if its not perfect. In the tutorial below I show you how I to fix the lines if they arn’t as straight as you would like them to be.

How to make short lashes look longer

8 / 22 / 168 / 21 / 16

Hello my Bondbeautys,
Im excited to talk to you today about some tips & tricks to making your lashes appear longer! This is honestly my mascara/ lash routine!
These steps are so simple and they just take a little longer than just applying regular mascara; but they truly make all the difference! I have a full video for those who are visual learners so check it out down below!

before & after

Step 1: Apply a lash serum before bed. The one I use is the Newyorkbiology Lash & Brow Serum. All you need to do is apply to lash line every night before bed. This helps your natural lashes actually grow and thicken! (it really works!)

Untitled

Step 2: Curling your lashes! There is a trick to this guys. First , use a good lash curler. Mine is from ELF it only cost me $2 but it still is amazing! It fits my eye shape well and doesn’t tug lashes! It also has a beautiful even curl. I like to curl my lashes 3 times before applying mascara. The first two times I curl it straight on and the third I will bend the curler upwards so it is at a 90 degree angle to my cheek! (See video for demo)

Step 3: MASCARA I love using a Fiber Mascara to really get my lashes looking thicker & longer! The mascara I love for this is the Limelight mascara. Unlike other fiber mascaras this one has enough product to really adhere the fibers onto your lashes. I don’t have any problems with the fibers being loose or flaking off into my eye! (And I have sensitive eyes) This one has really made a difference (full review on this mascara coming soon)

So I apply 3 thin coats of mascara. I know it seems like a lot but it really isn’t! You can do just 2 if you want. The last coat is the key to making your lashes look longer though! On the last coat you are just going to dab at the very tips of your lashes so that the fibers can really grab the tips making them look noticeably longer!

Step 4: Last curl your lashes one more time once your mascara is completely dry! This is where you need to be careful not to break your lashes or tug any out! Its so important to wait until your lashes are DRY! Then when curling make sure to only have curl them DO NOT clamp down all the way!

TIPS:  MAKE sure to slowly clamp down & release when using a lash curler so as not to pull any lashes out!

Here is the full video with demo footage so you can really see how I do it! I hope you enjoy!

1 Brand Makeup Tutorial: Bombshell Makeup

6 / 17 / 166 / 18 / 16

thumb 2

Hello my Bondbeautys,

Today I am so excited to bring to you this tutorial because this is a collaboration with two other beauty you tubers! I am collaborating with Piper Hampton & Velmalee.  They are amazing & talented. Plus they are also very entertaining which is why we make videos right? Any ways we are each doing a one brand tutorial using a drugstore brand. I decided to do Wet N Wild because of how CHEAP they are. I rarely use the word cheap to describe a brand, but I wanted to get my point across. They are so affordable that sometimes they get looked over because of it. Just because they are CHEAP doesn’t mean they are CHEAP. Their products are amazing and to prove it I went all out glam with this Bombshell look; using only their products.

How to do a Basic Smokey Eye for all Ages

7 / 5 / 155 / 24 / 16

Hello my Bondbeautys,

I am super excited about todays post! I have been thinking lately about how I want my blog and videos to be something that anyone can enjoy no matter age. Most of the makeup looks I come up with I think would look good on younger or older women. Sometimes it doesn’t seem that way so to help you see how this makeup look looks on younger or more mature women I invited my mom to join us! Todays makeup tutorial is how to do a basic smokey eye that is perfect for all ages!

 

This smokey eye is very appropriate for this summer time , in fact it is perfect for anytime of year because it is not too dark. This is also such an easy look to create because I am only using 3 eyeshadows! Obviously when doing makeup on younger skin and older skin there are little tweeks you have to make. For example I am wearing a nude lipstick on my mom I used a light natural pink lipstick. I also used this particular blush because its glowy without being shimmery which is looks great no matter your age!

Personally I love this makeup look for date night, special occasions,weddings, pictures things like that . So lets get started with the eyes! ( I recommend starting with the eyes because we will be using black and that can sometimes get everywhere).

For the face makeup I purposely used a blush that has no shimmer but has a beautiful glow because it is more versatile for all ages! This coral blush really warmed up the face for the summer. Now remember everyones skin tone is different so you might need to pick a lipstick that fits your undertone and skin shade better. For my mom I picked a Pink lipstick from Elf -Mink Pink and I think it looked better than the nude lipstick that I am wearing.

Highlighting 101

1 / 13 / 14

Highlighting 101 Thumb

 

Hello My Beautiful friends,

It is a beautiful monday & I thought what a better day then to learn something new! So today Im going to be telling you all about highlighting! Im going to be answering some simple questions: what is highlighting? What kinds of highlighters are there? Why should I highlight? How do I apply it & Where? What brushes do I need? So lets begin…

 

H 1Products Talked About:

  • ELF Shimmering facial whip: Lilac petal
  • Bare Minerals Face & Body Color: Geniune Jade
  • Smashbox Face & Body Palette: Gold Mine
  • Elf Glow Bronzing Powder: Sunkissed
  • Color Institute Twist Up Blush Stick
  • Neutrogena Concealer: Fair

1. Whats Highlighting?

I know we all look at bridal magazines or celebrity magazines & it always looks like the light hits there cheeks & nose at just the right angle! Well thats not the case , they give that illusion using makeup , specifically a highlighter! So if you want to have that glow effect then keep reading!

Ha 2

Its A makeup product , it can be a powder , liquid or cream product That you apply to your face to add a glow or to extenuate certain features! (gives you a glow also known as bridal glow or flawless appearance) I wasn’t even outside when I took this picture but yet the sun managed to hit me right above my cheek bones! 😀 Its all about the highlighter!

2. What can be used to highlight with?

Well You can use a powder, cream or liquid that has a light shimmer or that is just lighter than your skin tone.. Usually they have a champagne color, pinky color, or gold tone to it!

3. Where do you highlight on your face?

H4So you can highlight on top of your cheek bones, bridge of your nose, cupids bow, center of fore head, underneath your brow, right above your brow & even on your chin (highlight areas you want people to notice on your face , & places you want the sun to hit just right)… You do not have to highlight on all of those areas but as you can see I did on most of those & it looks pretty good! … Usually women highlight on there cheek bones & Nose.

So I hope this was helpful .. For more information don’t forget to watch the video above! So here is my complete look for the day..

H3H3 I went with a very natural eye look & Nude pink lip & A very Glowy highlight…

  • Highlight :Color Institute Twist Up Blush Stick
  • Highlight: (To set the cream highlight) Smashbox Highlight: Gold Mine
  • Lips: Elf Matte Lip Color Natural
  • LipGloss: holiday Hugs Lipgloss by Philosophy

How to Not look Grungy In Glasses

11 / 14 / 13

1

Hello My Beautyful Friends!

So I have glasses, and I know that sometimes glasses are NOT cute! THey can sometimes make you look grungy and a little too casual. Well today I have put together some tips to help you not look GRUNGY in your Glasses!2

Tips:

  • do your hair: actually curl your hair or if your hair is straight curl the ends DO NOT put you hair in a pony tail! (fancy yourself up a little more than usual)Photo Nov 14, 9 52 58 AM
  • Do your nails: you don’t want to have chipped nails !
  • Apply concealer: you need to look flawless so apply concealer on your problem areas & especially underneath your EYES!
  • Apply foundation: You will look more ready for the day & not grungy if your face looks flawless (foundation will make you look more professional as well )
  • Apply powder: there is nothing more that yells grungy than a girl with glasses & an oily face
  • CONTOUR: Get ready more than usual contour your face, glasses can sometimes make you look like you have a rounder face so contouring will help with that
  • APPLY EYESHADOW: do a darker eye than usual and yes still apply eyeshadow this will help your eyes pop through your glasses instead of being hid by your glasses (Rimmel Glam Eyes HD: Green Park)Photo Nov 14, 10 04 22 AM
  • Glowing Blush: Adds color & a beautiful Glow (Milani: Rose D’oro)
  • Add a pop of color with your lipstick: try to pick something other than a nude to bring some color to your lips (revlon balm stain: Romantic)

Check out the Video Below for more tips….

So what do you do to prevent yourself from looking grungy when you wear glasses?  Till next time…..

Remember , Beauty Comes From Within
