Name: Dixie From: Semmes, Alabama U.S Age: 29 Occasions: Everyday makeup One of the best ways to learn how to do makeup is by getting inspiration from your favorite celebrities and bloggers. Who doesn’t want to look ready for a photo shoot or the red carpet? Dixie for example, is channeling her inner star with an ultra-glam look. The gold smokey eye is definitely a fabulous alternative to the usual, charcoal-heavy dramatic eyes. And of course, some sparkle during the day is always a good idea. When it comes to shimmery looks however, a little goes a long way. Tip 1: Primer is always key for dramatic eye looks. A primer will help smoothen the skin prior to makeup application, preventing creas

Highlighter can give your face a fresh, subtle glow and make you look more awake. It also helps to add definition to the natural structure of your face. If you are new to this glimmering trend, the good news is that it's easy to master. The most important part of applying highlighter is knowing where to apply it. Here are the places on your face where you can apply highlighter (of course, you can choose all of the places, some of the places, or just one, depending on how much you want to embrace the look). 1) Right above the cheekbones 2) Above the eyebrows 3) On the bridge of the nose 4) Directly below the eyebrows/above the eyelids 5) On the inner corner of the eyelids 6) On the center of

Name: Caitlyn From: Seven Springs, NC Occasion: Everyday Makeup We always encourage our customers to experiment with makeup. Makeup, after all, is a form of self-expression –so we always appreciate beauty looks that are bold and creative. Caitlyn for instance, enjoys wearing a glam look during the day – and we love how confident she is in her look! We think the light taupe eye shadow is perfect for daytime and when combined with a pink or soft mauve lip and mini feline flick, the look is utterly feminine, with a sultry touch (appropriate for Caitlyn’s date nights too). The glossy finish on the lip was a good call as well, since shine reflects and absorbs light, naturally enhancing the lips

Name: Reid From: Fillmore, NY U.S. Occasion: Makeup for blog The smokey eye is a classic look (a favorite of many of our customers) that doesn’t have to be reserved for the hippest parties and the most romantic date nights. Reid is the perfect example of how one can do a subdued version of the dramatic eye and make it daytime –and even age-appropriate. Reid kept everything very subtle –a clean face that flawlessly camouflaged any skin imperfections, natural-looking brows, highlighted cheekbones (which give her a youthful glow) and an overall sun-kissed face that is fabulous for the summer. She added dimension to her eyes by going for a smudge effect on her eye shadow –which is the perfect su

Name: Sami From: Kidderminster, West midlands UK Age: 19 Occasions: Glam makeup Makeup, truly, is an art form. And Sami is a wonderful example of how to use the face as a canvas for creativity. We love how she let her gorgeous, full brows stand out naturally. She did a great job being playful with her eye shadow too. But to enhance them more, we suggest using an eye shadow primer as base –this will allow the colors to look brighter and bolder for long hours. Applying primer also ensures smoother shadow application that will result in a much cleaner appearance. Sami’s face looks flawless –we like the highlighting technique that left her skin dewy and glowing. For a more flattering color comb

Name: Emily From: Bayfield, Colorado U.S. Age: 18 Occasions: Every day makeup When we saw Emily’s submission, her pictures instantly caught our eyes because we knew that she has really nailed the everyday makeup look! Why? If Emily didn’t send us the first picture, we could hardly tell that she actually has any makeups on. She was able to hide her blemishes and even out her skin tone without looking like she is wearing too much foundation. The mascara and eyeliner on her give her eyes just a little pop, which is absolutely perfect for a daytime wear. Although Emily’s makeup look is almost flawless, we still think that she could take this look to a higher level. In order to accomplish that, o

Name: Jodie From: Birmingham, West Midlands UK Age: 29 Occasions: Make up for a night out on holiday Ultra-glam look for an unforgettable night out? Check. Despite Jodie’s dazzling and party-ready makeup, she was still able to keep a healthy and natural-looking finish without using too much blush and bronzer. The dewy touch on her skin gives her a youthful glow too. The heavy smokey eye was perfectly executed –a great look for a girls’ night out in a club, or a romantic party for two at a dimly lit restaurant. Her blending is well done –no harsh lines, and the shadows were softly blended at the edges. The sweeping of light, shimmery shadow across the brow bone opened up her eyes, while playi

Name: Jessica From: Riceville, TN United States Age: 35 Occasions: Just For Fun Color is a wonderful thing, and Jessica’s kaleidoscopic makeup is the perfect reminder to live life (and wear makeup) in technicolor. Great for parties, for pride or for simply brightening up one’s day, multi-hued beauty looks not only pay tribute to the ultra-hip color-blocking looks of the ‘60s or the pop-art graphic shadows of the 80’s, but this bold and bright color palette is a surefire way to have fun with makeup. Jessica most likely, first used primer on her eye lids –this step ensures colors stay true and vivid all day –and her eyes are simply flawless. She used a blending technique because no harsh edges

Name: Kayla From: Myrtle Beach, SC Occasions: A more serious makeup for a funeral Kayla demonstrates one of the main goals of wearing makeup that is, for people to “notice you and not your makeup.” She wears makeup to celebrate her features and not to camouflage them with too many layers of it, or with too distracting color combinations. Especially for a somber occasion such as a funeral, Kayla has executed the most appropriate makeup look –a clean, fresh face, lined eyes and a modest lip color that exudes that in-between bold and nude lip hue. A little bit more enhancement however, would have perfected the look. An extra coat of mascara would have opened up her yes more, while filling in he

The summer is flying by, and while there might be a few more perfect beach days left this year, in the blink of an eye it'll be time for kids to go back to school, Starbucks to start serving its PSL (Pumpkin Spice Latte, for those who don't regularly drink $6 coffees), and leaves to fall on the ground. Although the end of summer is usually a sad time signaling the end of freedom, shorts and sunshine, this year there is one reason to stay happy despite the days getting shorter and the temperature dropping: Colourpop Cosmetics, a cult-favorite brand with a large following, will launch at Sephora starting in November.

Name: Hannah From: Knoxville, Tennessee U.S. Sometimes, the best makeup tip one can apply is simply, restraint. By keeping a makeup look minimal and fresh, natural beauty can truly shine. 15-year old Hannah demonstrates how to have fun with makeup without wearing too much of it. She looks flawless while still looking her age –definitely a great look in and out of the classroom. A nude eye, a swipe of eyeliner and mascara plus a barely-there pink lip, all beautifully allow her to celebrate her youth. She made a great choice in picking a neutral nude for her shadow (it lets her blue eyes pop even more), but a little bit more finesse in its application would have made it perfect. Blending is ke

Name: Denisha From: Louisville, MS United States Age: 28 Occasions: Birthday Makeup A special occasion will of course, require a more glamorous beauty look and Denisha has picked the perfect, birthday makeup color composition that exudes flair without going overboard –it’s a lovely mix of sweet and sultry, making her look fresh yet adequately dolled up for an event. Her use of a plum color palette instead of dark charcoals for her smokey eye, gives a fun, festive touch to her look. The application of a frosty light shadow highlights the brow area while accentuating her striking eyes and eyebrows on fleek. The pale pink lip complements her dramatic eyes too. But for the most natural look, she
