My name is Kiara, a junior in college in the quiet city of Portland,Oregon.My field of study is communication, but if I could conquer any career path, it would be anything in Fashion and Beauty. My favorite trend for Summer 2012 is the neon trend. From lipsticks to pants, the 80’s are back and resurrected for the better. I am a big believer in constant re-invention of yourself. Makeup allows this transformation to occur daily, so I am always testing out new looks, and products to suit that week, or months re-invention. "Be your best you", is my motto. I love sharing beauty secrets, so i'm always experimenting to find out what the greatest and latest trends, products, and phases of beauty are coming about. Ill share my secrets if you share yours!:)

How to Make Your Lips Appear Fuller & Add Depth To Your Eyes

Posted on July 10, 2012

Filed in: Eyes, Lips, Makeup

To make that pout extra pouty, follow these steps:

  1. Line your lips with a lip liner that is similar to your natural lip color. I used a mauve color and lined around my lips adding extra contour around the cupids bow (top lip), and right below my bottom lip for some extra shadow. This will make the outline of your lips appear fuller and as if you have bigger lips.
  2. Apply a similarly toned lipstick to match the lip liner and your lip shade. (more…)

How To Coverup Those Pesky Undereye Circles

Posted on July 8, 2012

Filed in: Eyes, Makeup

If I could choose one piece of makeup to have with me at all times, it’d be concealer. I have hereditary under eye circles, which I always cover to brighten up my face. Many people struggle with covering their under eye circles, or “bags”. Follow these tips, which work like a charm for me when covering those pesky circles.

  1. First, choose a shade of concealer that is one shade lighter than your foundation and skin tone. This is so that instead of just concealing your bags, you’re brightening as well.
  2. Pat the concealer with your ring finger in small dots around the eyes.
  3. Gently pat the concealer into your skin until it disappears, make sure to get the inner corner of the eyes, the rim of the eyes, and just beneath the eyes where the circles begin.
  4. Apply the concealer onto your eyelids to even out the look, and enhance the brightening effect of the concealer. Set the concealer with powder both under the eyes and above to ensure long wearing makeup. Once you put your foundation on, it will even out the look of the concealer, and look more natural when it is all set and powdered.

A Nautical Navy Smoky Eye For The Brown-Eyed Girl

Posted on June 11, 2012

Filed in: Eyeliner, Eyes, Eyeshadow, Makeup, Mascara

— Eye Color:

Nautical themes are always on trend for summer. For this look I took inspiration from the M.A.C. collection “Hey Sailor”. The look is nautical with a smoky eye in navy blue, and a little hint of white that screams I’m ready to rock the boat.

Here is the simple how to:

  1. Start with a primer as always to ensure a long lasting look. I use Too Faced Shadow Insurance, or Mac Paint Pot in Painterly. Apply a flesh toned eye shadow to start with a light base for the navy shades. Apply all over lid up to brow bone.  (more…)

When & How To Use Bronzer vs. Blush

Posted on May 29, 2012

Filed in: Blush, Bronzer, Face, Makeup

Frequently, bronzer and blush get mistaken for interchangeable products, but they each have a place on the face to create a polished makeup look.

The purpose of bronzer is to warm the face, as well as create shadows which can make the face appear slimmer (especially for round face shapes like mine). It can also be referred to as contouring when you are specially using the bronzer to give the face dimension and slim it.

Bronzer belongs right below the cheekbone, in the hollows of the cheeks. To find this, make a fish face and where you feel the indent below the cheekbone take a fluffy brush and place bronzer on each side of the face. Also use it around the temples, and across the bridge of the nose and chin. This will give the face a slightly tanned look. I used Smashbox Hydrating Halo Bronzer.
