Fuchsia Lipstick for Mother's Day

There are times when I cannot find the perfect lipstick color. So what do I do? I combine a bunch of colors together and get the perfect color! I went for a nice fuchsia combination for Mother's Day. 

I started with my Sephora lipliner in "Pleasant Plum." I put on my Urban Decay "Venom" lipstick which comes off as a dark maroon color. I then put on my bright pink "Girl About Town" lipstick from Mac. To top it off, I used the glossy NYX lipgloss in "Doll Pink."

If you want a dark maroon color, the "Pleasant Plum" lipliner and "Venom" lipstick look very good together! Or if you just want a bright fuchsia color, you can use the "Girl About Town" lipstick with the "Doll Pink" lipgloss.

Lipliner: Pleasant Plum by Sephora

Lipstick: Venom by Urban Decay and Girl About Town by Mac

Lipgloss: Doll Pink by NYX

Beach Wedding: Blue Eyeshadow and Black Dress

I went to a beach wedding in Redondo Beach this weekend and it was absolutely beautiful. I had never been to a wedding on the beach before. The weather was perfect. The sky was clear blue and the sun was shining down on us. I wore a black dress and decided to use blue eyeshadow to match the theme of the wedding. I like to use colors in my makeup that are inspired by my surroundings. The blue was clearly inspired by the beach, the ocean, and the blue sky.

Eyeshadow: I used Mac eyeshadow all over my eyes. I have a 6 eyeshadow palette that I chose 3 colors from. The inner section is: Gingersoft. The blue is Cinder with a bit of Tease 'n Teal blended into it. The smokey color is created by using the color Contrast (not a part of the palette).

Eyeliner: NYX Black ( on top). Urban Decay "Ink," Electric Eel by Mac, and Beauty Marked by Mac (under eye).

Mascara: L'Oreal Voluminous Butterfly

Dress: Bebe
