Quick and easy makeup routine:

Hi, guys, it's Lissette and this is my day to day makeup routine. I'm very simplistic when it comes to my makeup unless I have a special event or reason to get all dolled up. The products that I used are:

  • foundation: L'Oreal aqua mineral foundation
  • eye shadow mini palette: Estee Lauder (colors are shimmery white, brown, beige, and purple)
  • eye liner: E.L.F liquid black eye liner
  • mascara: E.L.F black mascara
How to:
  1. apply foundation to conceal any blemishes
  2. using an eye shadow brush apply a light beige color as your base color to your whole eye lid and underneath the brow
  3. add the shimmery white to the corner of your eyes 
  4. brush on the beige color to the center and just a little bit towards the outer part of the lid
  5. apply the darker color (which was the purple-ish color) to the outer part of the lid and along the bone above the eye lid
  6. using the liquid liner start from the middle of your upper lash line (just above the eye lashes) and continue on to the end of your eye where the upper and lower water lines meet then make it into a winged eye liner line
  7. lastly apply mascara




+ blush and lip gloss is recommended for this look but it is totally up to you

Make snowflakes dance:

 

Honestly I could never imagine  a Christmas without watching Tchaikovsky’s famous ballet, "The Nutcracker", where today’s DIY comes from (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFsh80k2u30&feature=related). This is by  far my favorite Christmas DIY J and just for fun I created a link to watch the full ballet on YouTube; but take your snow flakes from the previous tutorial and make them dance!


Step 1: find your ballerinas by googling ballerinas

Step 2: find three different ballerinas, trace them on to a sheet of copy paper, then cut them out

  Step 3: Next you cut a circle in the middle of the snowflake and slip it on to the ballerina, making it a cute    snowflake fairy!




This cute holiday decoration is easy to make and if you tie a string around her arm you can hang it from ceilings, Christmas tree or house

Julia likes making hair bows and she will be putting up some tutorials on how to make them, soon! :)
