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. 

Back from my hiatus.

With the start of the school year and intense workload that comes with it, I felt like it was time to take a little hiatus for the first month or so. And during then, I also felt as if I'd missed quite a few good blogging opportunities, especially with October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month. But, alas, life goes on, and fashion waits for no man! (or woman!)

 

So with that, let's look forward to our next upcoming holiday that's just an excuse to dress up in a costume no matter how old you are: Halloween!

 

Since Stardoll really isn't making as big a deal about Halloween as they normally do, I feel compelled to compile a few tips and ideas that will help jazz up your Halloween costumes, and maybe throw in a themed makeup tutorial, as well. 

Makeup Tutorial: Coming Soon!

My apologies for not uploading the next makeup tutorial that I have set up already. I'm using my laptop right now, so it's a little difficult to get the alignment and movements right for the Beauty Parlor, which would explain why the makeover I was planning on putting out today didn't turn out too well. Yeah, I decided to scrap it, but I have a few other ones that I did a while ago but never posted, so you'll be seeing a few of those, well...once I find them, of course.

 

So be on the lookout for some more tutorials in the next few days. I also might start putting up some "Picks of the Month" or another addition to the blog; all of this is coming soon!

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.
