Alternative French Tip Nails




I've been toying with this nail design in my head for about a week, and decided to just give it a try today. It's not exactly how I imagined, but I like it! Let me know what you think, and if you want me to post a mini step by step slide show :)

5 Min Neutral Eye Look

I think I am going to aim the majority of the tutorials to be very quick and simple - 5 Minute Face tutorials. With 2 kids running around, sometimes that's all the time I have, and I think it will be fun! Today's Look is again with Spectrum Cosmetics. I used the " Get the Look" 3 piece Stackable in Tiny Bubbles ( light cream) Sandalwood ( golden brown) and Soil ( matte brown)
It is $8 for the set and it's available here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/64438566/get-the-look-3-piece-stackable-soil

I also used the Spectrum Cosmetics Mineral Foundation in Beige. It is $12 for a 20 Gram Jar http://www.etsy.com/listing/65095618/beige-matte-mineral-foundation-20-gram
and the eye primer which is $7 for a 5 gram jar:

Here is the finished look - If you like it please subscribe, and read on! :)
Step 1 and 2 Apply your foundation, fill in your brows, and prime your eyes
Step 3 Apply TINY BUBBLES under the brow, and in the inner 1/3 corner of your eye - There will likely be fallout as you see here, but don't worry, it will easily brush away!

Step 4 Apply Sandalwood to the outer 2/3's of your eye and blend
as much or as little as you want

Step 5. Take a TINY amount of Soil and place it on the very outer edge of your eye, and blend
it slowly into your crease.


Step 6. Apply eyeliner, and Mascara, and you're ready to go :)
OR You can now apply your blush, and lip stick.


I opted not to apply any lipstick, but did add a bit of Charming Pigment as my blush!

I hope you like it! :)
