First OOTD

Plus-Size Edition

I’m NOT built to suit a fashion model size; but rather PLUS SIZE. Ok so last night I went on a dinner date with some friends to catch up. And if you didn’t know, I love to look jazzy and get dolled up; but since I haven’t went out in a while, I decided to add a little extra to my everyday casual look. I wanted to incorporate some cool vibrant spring tones, but some darkness to add drama.  Therefore, I decided to rock a neon “Passion for Fashion” tee found on the clearance rack at Old Navy, paired with a navy blue skater type skirt from Target.  Usually I’m a heels type of girl, but today my feet were not feeling it! So I decided to sport some floral print sandals from Shoe Land.  I did simply accessories to accentuate the look. And as for makeup, I decided to use Ka’Oir lipstick in Racquel paired with Cabernet lip liner from Jordana.  I was feeling myself, just a little!

 

 

 

SCREAMING: I have HOODED eyelids

Makeup Confessional

Ok, so the other day I was getting so frustrated with doing my makeup! I was thinking to myself, “Why isn’t my makeup giving me LIFE (why isn't it achieving professional MUA’s status)?” Yes I know I’m not a professional (yet) and I’m still practicing, but all of the looks I was creating and recreating were horrible.  Then I came to the conclusion I have BEDROOM EYES! Yea, I can stop a man in his tracks with these eyes! LOL. Basically my eyes are what professionals call Hooded Eyelids. This is when the skin and/or fat, usually around the crease area, hangs over the eyelids causing them to be covered, and also in my case puffy. The two main causes are aging and being born with hooded eyelids. I felt so disappointed, and was considering surgery (spending imaginary money) to achieve the 'IDEAL" eyelid. So after careful research, I came across some diagrams and a few YouTube tutorials to help me (and those like-EYED) to understand eye shape and how to excentuate them.  One day I’ll consider making a tutorial about my SEDUCTIVE, VOLOUPTOUS BEDROOM EYES. But until then, enjoy what I’ve found!

P.S. Remember the only way to "per-fect" anything is to practice and make it work for you!Be on the look-out for more makeup pictures via Instagram and Facebook, and don’t forget to push that follow  and like button!
