Back to Business

Now that I've taken a much-needed break, what with all the natural disasters and school piling up with alarming frenzy, it's back to business; cracking my knuckles and getting back to blogging while I still have the time...ish.

 

So being on a little hiatus for a while made me realize that I was fresh out of ideas for a new makeup tutorial. Then it also hit me that I hadn't done a tutorial since the Miss Stardoll World competition. I think what I'll do is put a poll up and start gathering some ideas. I've been carrying my sketchbook nearly everywhere lately to get some inspiration, which I have been sorely lacking in for these past few weeks.

 

If you have any suggestions below, or anything new I could introduce to the blog, just comment down below or contact me via the information listed under the tab. 

Autumn Skater Girl Ensemble

(Click to enlarge)

Today's ensemble is a very quick and versatile look that has been quite popular recently. The darker color combination, paired with the neutral beige jacket is perfect for the autumn fashion season.

 

Main Pieces

Cropped Beige Jacket (Archive--9 Stardollars)

Black Leotard (Voile--87 Starcoins)

White Rider Belt (It Girls--34 Starcoins)

Purple Bows Skirt (It Girls--101 Starcoins)

Quilted Purse (It Girls--72 Starcoins)

High Heeled Boots w/ Scrunched Down Socks (Archive--10 Stardollars)

 

Total: 19 Stardollars, 294 Starcoins

 

Although the pricing is rather steep, many of these pieces you might already own, and the options are endless with this very versatile look. For example, a wider belt would also substitute the thin white/gold belt already used, or you could change the boots to another pair (with scrunched socks, of course). The opportunities to play around and experiment with this ensemble are virtually endless.

 



Forest Green Eyes Tutorial

Firstly, yes, I was on a temporary hiatus for the most part of August. This month was incredibly busy for me, especially with the start of school in a week. Oh, joy.

 

But in any case, this little post is just a simple makeup tutorial. Today's look combines the nearness of the autumn fashion season with foresty greens in a gradient shading; a lovely look for brunettes and blondes alike. These steps are very simple, and I only used three items! For 15 Stardollars, you can create a fabulous look that will complement just about any skin tone and be appropriate for any occasion.

 

 

 

Store: Dot

Item Listing and Pricing:

More Mocha Eyeshadow--6 Stardollars

Lichen Luxe Eyeshadow--6 Stardollars

More Mocha Volume Mascara--3 Stardollars

Total: 15 Stardollars

 

Steps:

1. Take the More Mocha shade and fan it out across the ends of your eyelids, using a sweeping motion. Repeat this step a few times to darken the shade.

2. Next, take the Lichen Luxe eyeshadow and apply it on the rest of your eyelid, sweeping down in an arc-like motion. Be sure to blend the tips of this shadow into the Mocha shade, as well, to achieve the gradient color-blending effect. Repeat this step once or twice until you reach the desired color darkness.

3. Finally, use the mascara and apply some on all of your lashes, evenly coating them.

 

And you're finished! There are several variations you can use with this look, such as the addition of other shades, or the use of a liquid eyeliner, etc. This eyeshadow look is very simple, inexpensive, and is incredibly versatile.
