How I do my winged liner on severely hooded/monolided eyes!

I have severely hooded eyes, and my one eye has half of a monlid. So winged liner can be a bit of a challenge!!

I ALWAYS apply mascara first THEN do my eye liner. I find that makes it SO much easier!!

I don't show it in the video, but for my partial monolid, I tilt my face upward, and just go thicker under the flap of skin to make it visible!

Thank you for watching, and I hope this helps!

My Eyebrow routine!

I get asked about my brows a lot on my personal blog.

I have full, thick, dark brows naturally. So I just lightly fill them in to add colour back to them after doing foundation and powder!

I hope this video was helpful!!

Bare face/Acne update

If you've followed me, when I transferred over to this blog, you know all about my acne updates. But if you're new here,

I do acne updates every couple of weeks/every month.

From 13 to 16 I NEVER had acne. I always had clear skin. Then I turned 17, and BAM, I got severe, cystic acne.

It was all along my jaw lines, and where I would contour my cheeks. And it was so painful, I couldn't lay on my side to sleep at night.

So I talked to my family doctor, and went to a dermatologist and I was put on Tactupump Forte! Which is a powerful topical acne cream, and I was also put on antibiotics for a few months. Which 100% cleared up my skin.

Now, I'm just working on clearing up dark spots/acne scars. I am lucky that none of my cystic acne left ice pick scars. Just dark brown spots.

Every night I; wash my makeup off, wash my face, pat a liquid/chemical exfoliant onto my whole face, apply my tactupump forte all over my face, apply a pump of a hydrating serum, and then I pat on a facial oil!

And I can honestly say, my skin has never been better or healthier!!

This is my face just after washing. I have no makeup on at all!!

My cheeks are lighter than my forehead/chin, and I get redness in my cheeks, but that's really my only skin "woes" right now!!

Thank you for reading!!

My most used/favourite highlights!

It's no secret, I'm a highlight hoe! I love to pack it on my cheek bones. And I own way too many highlights.

From top to bottom we have:

The balms Mary lou-manizor (Super intense metallic Champagne)
Sephora Brand Micro smooth luminizor in 02 Light Beam (Peachy/Pink. Very fairy esk!)
Sephora Brand Micro smooth Luminizor in 01 Star Dust (Intense Yellow Gold shimmer)
QUO Prismatic Face Pallet (White shimmer, very intense!!)

My all time favourite, hit pan on highlights are Mary Lou, and Star Dust. I'v fully finished and repurchased Star dust, and I'v hit MAJOR pan on Mary Lou!!

My favourite Fall/Winter blushes!

I love a good berry, plummy, red blush in the fall/winter! But I get that naturally just stepping outside my front door, as we're in freezing cold Canada! So it's a balancing act trying to find blushes that mimic this look without being super over the top!!

I'm also super heavy handed with blush, so I need a blush that isn't so pigmented I shake in my boots looking at it!!

I like medium coverage, luminous and buildable!

These are my favourite fall/winter blushes, and highlights!

We have starting from the top left:

The Balms Mary Lou-Manizor (Champagne Highlight)
Physicians formula Argan wear Blush in Rose (Light berry)
Clinique Cheek Pop blush in Plum Pop (cool slightly plummy, pink)
Makeup Geek Blush in Soul Mate (Plummy pink)
Sephora brand Baked Luminizor in 01. (Yellow gold)

Starting from top left:

Smashbox Halo blush in Warm glow (Mauvey brown)
Physicians formula Argan wear Bronzer in Light bronze. (Golden shade. this is a highlight on me)
Annabelle Blush in 52 (Light Cranberry shade.)
MAC eye shadow in Cranberry (I hated this as a eye shadow, it was too sheer. So I multipurposed it!)
Clinique Cheek Pop in Cola Pop.



I think only two of these are Matte. And that's because I personally don't like matte blushes, I find them hard to spread out and blend and buff. So I tend to reach for Shimmery/highlighting blushes!!

Purple Smokey Eye FOTD

I'm going to visit my oral surgeon today to check up on my tumor. And because he'll be poking around my mouth I can't wear lipstick.

So I decided to go ham on my eyes!!!

This is the look i'm going with today!!

Base: I started off with Hard Candy green tinted primer on my cheeks and forehead, then MUFE Mattifying primer on my T zone. I then buffed MUFE Mat Velvet+ foundation all over my face. I then patted a pink tinted sheer concealer to brighten my under eye area. Then I patted Hard Candy Glamoflauge under my eyes. I took a fluffy brush and patted Rimmel Clear skin powder all over my skin. Then I buffed Sephora Brand Matte perfection powder foundation all over. Lastly I spritzed MUFE Mist and Fix all over to lock everything in!

Cheeks: I made a custom cheek colour today! I started with Makeup Geek Romance (Shimmery golden coral) and then I blended Makeup Geek Soulmate ontop! (Matte plummy pink) I lastly took The balms Mary Loumanizer, and I blended that along my cheek bones!!

Here's the difficult part.

Eyes: I started with patting in ELF sheer primer from lashline to brow bone. I then took Tarte Whisper (Matte cream shadow) and set the primer. I took a mauvey lilac shadow from a Sonia kashuk quad, and buffed that through the crease and up onto my hood. I patted Colourpop Stero (Black base with purple glitter) onto my mobile lids, then took Tarte BFF (Matte dark purple) and I blended that out into my crease and used that to blend out any harsh lines!! I wanted it to be super deep and dramatic so I took Coastal Scents Cherry Chocolate (Dark dark brown base with purple shimmer through out) and lightly LIGHTLY blended that trough my outer V. I added mascara to my upper lashes, then falsies, and buffed Tarte BFF on my lower lashline, then added mascara to my lower lashes.

Brows: I ran through my brows with Essence make me brow, and then took Annabelle brow to go dark powder on an angled brush and blended that through my brows adding colour, and sharpening the brow shape. I then re applied another coat of Essence make me brow!

Lips: Just Jack Black Lip balm in Mint!


I hope you all enjoyed this look!! I really like it!!
