Is your makeup look outdated? TOP 6 Makeup HELL NO's

As a child I would look at older woman and wonder,"Why does she do her makeup that way?" Who wears blue eye shadow with red lip stick besides Beyoncé in that BLOW video?  (BTW she is the only person allowed to rock that makeup look, ok ladies, carry on) Later in life I learned that woman get stuck using the same products because we mentally label something as "being our favorite" and of course over the years we keep buying and doing the same look . Then you have woman that try to follow trends. *sigh* This is where it can take a turn for the worst. Sharpie brows, halo brows, butterfly eyelashes, harsh contour, white contour, nude powdered donut lips... the list goes on and on!

I have gathered my top 6 makeup HELL NO's!! If you fall into this category please, pretty please stop! It really doesn't look good & if your friend does this and you still hit LIKE on her pic on IG you're just as guilty and should be punished too.





 #6  FROSTY THE SNOW LIP / POWDERED DONUT LIP 

WHY? I want to burn every white frost lipstick in the world! The is terrible! I think woman make an attempt to do a neutral color but white frost or powdered donut color isn't it!! There is nothing appealing about this lip color AT ALL! If you feel like your a victim of this MAKEUP HELL NO please contact me NGMAKEUPARTIST@yahoo.com and I will guide you through the proper steps to getting rid of this product from your makeup bag!!




 #5 BLACK WIDOW LIP LINER LIPS

Yes people actually still do this lip!! Can you believe it. Its just not our L.A or Texas Cholaz ! This is ugly! I've seen people do black lip liner and a gloss on top! The early 90's look isn't working in 2015. Why can't a deep plum lip liner work? but also use a color lipstick similar to the lip liner color as well?





#4   MR. SNUFFLEUPAGUS LASHES

 Ok I get it!! We grew up watching Sesame Street and loved Mr. Snuffleupagus but I never really wanted to have his lashes tho. Lashes are suppose to enhance your eyes, now a days you look like your going to fly away. If people like how you look without your falsies then there's a problem! We all wanna have Kim K lashes but  you have made a wrong turn and going down the wrong street if your lashes look like these pics!! COME BACK!!

#3 SHARPIE BROWS

If your brows after you have drawn them on are thicker than your finger or blacker than tar then you need to get your life together. For one... You should never ever use a black pencil for your brows! 2nd... You should never press down sooo hard to create such a hard line. Brows are your friends. They frame your face. They help you express when your happy, or excited even when your sad .




#2 HALO HIGHLIGHTING

Halo isn't just another song on Beyoncé's album, its actually a makeup technique makeup artist use that has spiraled out of control! The technique is used to define your brows to make them look picture perfect by using a concealer. Normally the concealer is 2 shades lighter but ppl have started using the light color on top of their brows which is a NO NO and has resulted in the pics above!




#1  FUNERAL LIMITED EDITION FOUNDATION

M.A.C must of came out with a limited edition funeral collection foundation line that I don't know about because not only do I see celebrities with this  I see a lot of regular ppl on my IG and Facebook with it. Of course I can't use their pics (wish I could lol) but please ask yourself this, " Does my face match my body?" Take  a pic with the flash on and see if it matches. Your face doesn't have to be exactly the color of your body but try to get as close to it as possible. You can't have a winter face with a summer body!

Love at first application... Kat Von D foundation ❤❤

It was love at first application!!! ❤❤ Even though I'm a makeup artist I struggle just like a lot of women trying to find that perfect match. Color,texture and finish play a big role in my final decision. It is a full coverage foundation so you only need 2 small pea size amounts for your entire face! If you have dry skin this may not be the right foundation due to the matte finish. You can try mixing it with a tinted moisturizer or just use it on your problem areas. I haven't tried her concealer but if its anything like the foundation, it will definitely be a future purchase! I purchased color #62, it's a bit dark but i mixed it with a lighter concealer and i do plan on getting some sun so its perfect!

#PHUCKYO BLACK EYELINER, TRY A POP OF COLOR!

Since the days of Cleopatra women have always had a very close relationship with their black eyeliner pencils. I'm not saying to get rid of it, but lets try to put it down for a brief second! Take a look at these pictures below and see what a  pop of color underneath your eyes does! Its pretty amazing!

This makeup look is very simple. Take a nude color all over your lid, black eyeliner on top and take a lilac shadow and smudged underneath your lash line.

 

 

Blue Eye Liner helps the white of your eyes look brighter and makes blue eyes stand out even more. We were always told never to match your eyeliner to the color of your eyes but PHUCK the rules! lol Makeup is suppose to be fun! Its okay to step out of the box and try something new every now and then!

 

 

 

A touch of a teal was used in the above picture. As you can see the eye makeup is kept very clean and adding a little touch of color changes the look completely! A great makeup look if your going out to happy hour with the girls right after work. Its an effortless but appreciated look that always makes a statement!

I always suggest that you use a water-proof eyeliner if your going to attempt to duplicate this look. WHY? Because it smears easier than eyeliner you use on you lid, and some of us also have a bad habit of wiping underneath our eyes.  Urban Decay has the best water-proof eyeliners.

Pocket Rocket for your LIPS...Mmmmmmm... I think I'm in LOVE!!

I remember when i first layed eyes on these glosses I couldn't stop laughing. Got to give it to Urban Decay for their marketing strategy. Having a sexy half naked man literally at your finger tips is the best thing ever invented! They come in 8 beautiful shades to choose from. I think this also makes a great gift for a friends bachelorette party. Imagine being out at dinner with your girlfriends! What a conversation starter!!

Contouring... Look like you've had plastic surgery w/out spending $$$$$

So this is a project that i have been working on for a couple weeks. I wanted to show the difference that makeup makes, especially when people are concerned about specific things like wanting their nose to looking more slender, or make them look like they have high cheek bones.

So instead of spending money on a plastic surgeon just invest your money on a good makeup artist :) 

On the model i used for this project, i decided to do a "semi natural" look on her. Earth tone
shadows were used on her and just concentrated on features like eyebrows, contouring her nose and using a lighter concealer to add a little brightness to certain areas. Below are more before and after pictures showing the same type of technique used. ENJOY!!



Who wants to GLOW like JLO? *raises hand* MEEEE!!!

So i was in Sephora to do some makeup shopping and came across this line called THE BALM COSMETICS.  The packaging caught my eye, kind of similar to BENEFIT so i started to explore. I absolutely fell in love with this bronzer! The glow that this product gives to the skin is amazing! I apply right on the apples of my cheeks and take it above my cheek bones. Gives you such a radiant, healthy look. And ladies please remember we just want to have a slight glow, so we dont have to brush this on all over our face. Doesn't look to good in pictures when you O.D on this..
