Red Eyeliner?

Hey Everyone! 

(see what I did there? #oldybutgoodie) 

A couple of months ago I was at University and had an event at night, I had planed that I wanted to wear a bold Red Lip to that party and wanted to apply some tips and tricks I had learned on YouTube. With the little time to do leisure things that day, I asked my mother, who was conveniently at a hair dresser, to go pick up a red lip liner to match my lipstick, she knew the shade because she helped me pick it up, so there was no problem. At least I thought that. 

When I got home, I had to get ready super fast and she got me that red pencil liner. I though "Great! it's the perfect shade!". I was getting all prepared to do my perfect Red Lip...when I noticed that it was an eyeliner...I never thought they had them in those colors. I didn't had time to think it through and just applied it to my lips and worked with it. If it can go on your lids it can't be bad for your lips (I guess). 

So here the thing is, what am I going to do with a red eyeliner? I was in such a dilemma with it that I haven't use it yet. I was researching on the web and found some awesome blogs that showed that it is a kind of wearable color if you know how to work it through.

In the picture above, London MakeUp Girl shows how to work with it and, in my opinion, looks good. Although I believe that somewhat it makes the eye look irritated and swollen. 

Another blog I visited had found a Red eyeliner in gel. This looks pretty awesome, ready? go!

It looks so polished and nice. I know all my sources are from London, but I find that they are more risqué when it comes to all this new findings and fashion ordeals (all Europeans in general). The gel eyeliner is from the brand Inglot. 

Here is a picture from the product. Also from The London Beauty Review.

My take on wearing red eyeliner (when I finally decide to try it) would be making a thicker line of it and the lining with black the lash line with a liquid liner. I think it would tone the edginess a little more and still look good.    

What do you think? Yay or Nay? let me know in the comments below :)

Eyeliner Moods

I'm on a crazy, bold and exotic eyeliner mood today (maybe it's because of the weekend?). I saw some pictures in a friends Facebook page and was completely inspired. Then I thought...How many eyeliner styles are out there that we have never even tried  out yet, but see on the different makeup artists records?

Here I found this amazing image about this topic of interest. 

I might try some of these in the nearer future, some for when I'm going out with friends, and some for every day. It'll be my personal research project.

plus...the names are just so irresistible! (love the D&G one, a little dramatic and way classy)

Have a super especial day today!

My Everyday beauty and makeup routine

I normally don't wear much makeup, just for when I am having a big party, where all my friends or family are going to be and it is a more "fancy" one. I tend to go bare skin to where ever I go. Specially if I am running errands. Not much interesting people to find when you are grocery shopping is there? 

Well, lately I've been obsessed with going out, more often, and heading to class, with at least my eyes eye lined, with some mascara and color on my lips. That is all I use. 

So my routine starts in the morning by washing my face and moisturizing it, I take a shower every other day. Then I chose my outfit and then get my hands on my eyeliner, mascara and lipstick. The color of lipsticks tend to be very subtle and natural for daily wear. I leave the bold colors for meeting my friends at night and having a good time. 

what is your beauty routine?
