About Me

Makeup is not a tool meant to make an ugly thing beautiful, it is meant only to magnify the beauty that already exists.

Vice 3 Palette


This is my makeup from Stephens night! 

Primer- MAC matifying gel
foundation- MAC studio sculpt 
Concealer- MAC perfect match
Highlighter- MAC "soft&gentle"
Brows- MAC a Penultimate brow 
Contour done with Maxfactor pan stick in their darkest shade! 
Lips- Fushia lip pencil in "Flesh" & MAC matte lipstick in "Kinda Sexy"
Eyelashes- eylure "Definition".
Eyeshadow- Vice 3 palette in "undone" "reign" "defy" and "revolver". 


So, I meant try a little harder over Christmas at trying new makeup looks but I was either wrecked from being hungover (sobbing in self pity) or sick with a cold (sniffle sniffle) :-P 

I loved these eyelashes soo much and got a few compliments on them! I love Eylure eyelashes.. They put penneys ones to shame.. Sorry :-P 

I was in a rush to get out so sadly I didn't get any up close pictures of my eyes! I will take way more New Years or the next night I decide to play around with my new Vice 3 palette again! :-) 


Out with the girls! My hair was rushed too so yano.. Ignore it! Haha! 

Can't wait to get back to college now next week and get back into the swing of things.. I have SO much portfolio work to do, so I'll be sharing that on here too! And over on my Instagram! @ katie_moynihan

Christmas Makeup!

Ok so I havnt written on this in forever, I really havnt had time, what with college all day and motherhood duties! But I'm going to make an extre special effort from now on! :-) 

So last week was our last week in college and we were taking it easy doing Christmas makeup and tanning :-) 

Most of my class did reindeer makeup, while the rest did fairy and elf looks. 
Here are the popular photos you may have seen that I found using Pinterest to give some inspiration:



This look is so easy to achieve for just about anyone as it only requires a few shades of brown and white. Most people already have brown brow pens, eyeliners, white eye pencils and bronzers they could use to create this. 
I also did a red nose for Rudolph to make it even more Christmassy. Nothing is stopping you from using glitter too though! :-)

Some other looks I came across that I thought would be fun were:

The grinch haha! 

Random Christmassy makeup. 

I think Christmas makeup should be more popular really, it's so fun! Dressing up shouldn't just be left for Halloween in my opinion!!
