Mary Poppins

Practically perfect in every way! Here is Mary Poppins for our third Halloween look. Her lips were more of an orange brown but I wanted to do a more updated look with red. Hope Julie will forgive ; ). Hope you enjoy! A few items of business:

Sally the Rag Doll

Sally the Rag Doll from Tim Burton's the Nightmare Before Christmas is a fav of mine for Halloween. I love the look and the costume is just as fun! Here is my spin on the look and an option for you this Halloween. Our third annual Halloween Contest is coming up soon!!!

Attention Ladies Of Utah!!!

I will be starting to do mini classes at my home starting this month! Set your calendars for the "False Eyelashes Class" October 22nd at 2:30pm. Come and learn common mistakes, easy fixes and how to keep them looking natural and on all day long! There will be door prizes and new friends to meet! It is $10 for the class, eyelashes are provided or if you bring your own it's $6. So much cheaper than lash extensions and GrEaT for Halloween costumes! Message me for more details here or at dollcosmetics@gmail.com. Hope to see all of you there!!! ; D

Snow White

Halloween is coming ladies! What are you going to be? I will be starting the Halloween series this week and hope that you will send in requests! Our first look will be Snow White. This little princess was beloved and sweet, albeit just a touch naive (NEVER take apples from strangers!). For the original movie the animators actually took real makeup and applied it to her in every frame. Her lips were also more of a brown red but has become iconic apple red for anyone doing the look now. I hope you like it =).
Speaking of Halloween, attention anyone in the Utah Valley area, I invite you to Witch's Night at Gardener's Village. I'll be there all decked out and looking to meet YOU! Are you coming? Will I see you there? Hope so = D!!!

Kim's Wedding Makeup

If you're a newbie here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS Feed to get updates on new posts =). Welcome!

 Here is Kim Kardashian's makeup on her wedding day. Thank you to all of my loyal followers that have put up with some silence the past few months. I appreciate it more than you know and love you guys!!! Hope you enjoy! =)

I can't say that I was super in love with her first gown. That's right FIRST! She wore three gowns that night, all very different. Here are some sketches of the Vera Wang masterpieces. What is your favorite style of wedding dress? What did YOU wear? What do you DREAM of wearing??? Send in pictures to dollcosmetics@gmail.com.

Smokey Eye Request

Shelby, you have been SO patient and I appreciate it. I get so many requests and I get to them all as soon as I can. They are all so gorgeous!!! Thanks for all of the requests and keep them coming. You can now find me starting my boards on Pinterest under Classy Cosmetics =).

P.S. Do you have the Instagram app for your phone? I {heart} it in a major way! You can do this kind of effect with pictures taken with your phone. My husband does such a great job that I am trying to hire him to do ALL of my photos on the blog ;).

Elizabeth Taylor Tribute

 Elizabeth Taylor was such an icon. In the movies she was on point and direct and with makeup (in her earlier years) I felt she was one of the greats! I felt it was time I did a tribute to the look and feel of this Hollywood starlet. Here is my take on her look in general, not from any one picture but I thought I'd put up a few that would demonstrate her rich beauty. I think it took me a while to pay homage to her because for the longest time she left a bad taste in my mouth. She was lovely but unfortunately stole a few husbands in her day. I LOVE Debbie Reynolds and Liz took her hubby = (...look at me talking about them as if I know them! =) Anyway, I loved her look, at least, and wanted to give my interpretation of all the little details that made up Elizabeth's face. I hope you like it!

 Can't you just SEE Camilla Belle playing her in a movie??? It's ridiculous how much alike they look!

Classic, stunning, gorgeous.

Summer Look For Blue Eyes

Hot Smokey Summer Eye

Turn up the heat with this smoldery eye! I haven't been feeling all that great this past week but inspiration struck and now I give you the silent movie era of makeup tutorials =). The music makes me want to do a 1920's flapper look...and I think I just might!!! My fav part is that it took my husband this long to show me how to speed up videos and change transitions. I feel like I am BURSTING with new ideas now!!! This video normally would have been 8 min long but since I sped it up to match the theme it's HALF that! Also, I hold up a brown shadow toward the beginning and don't tell you the name is Embark from MAC.

Well, I am off to bed for more sleep. I need it since my son's birthday party is coming up and I want to kick this sickness to the CuRb! Get this, he asked for a Halloween Birthday Bash in June =). I am beYOND excited since that is one of my FAVORITE holidays. Can I share the invites with you?

 We made a mold of his finger, roughed it up, tied a reminder ribbon around it and laid it on a soft bed of reindeer moss. I was DYING when I saw how cute and little his fingers were =). Thank you Martha!!!

Fantasy Fairy Makeup

This is just whimsical fun =). My fav is seeing my youngest Branson in the background. He kept saying (with a confused look),"Um. you look (pause) pretty Mommy?" Yes it was in the form of a question LOL. I have to admit that I didn't love how the brown line underneath turned out but practice makes perfect right? =) Come with me to a land of fairies. If you want to blend in, you may want to try this look out....okay I'm a geek but ENJOY!!!

Mature Makeup Conversation

Here are a few things that I wanted to share with my ladies that are of my more "mature" audience =). I'll have some more tutorials coming up on age spots, under eye circles, foundation application, colors and lipstick application.

Naked Pallette

Another J-Lo look but you knew this was coming =). I wanted my first look from this pallette to be her and I LOVE this look but H.A.T.E my camera and how it isn't HD. It doesn't pick up the colors like I would like and I am SO in the market for another!!!

Jennifer Lopez Tutorial

Okay, okay I'm listening! = )You asked for more Jennifer and here she is! Lopez really lights up the (whatever color) carpet with this look. Her makeup artist is very in tune with what looks flawless on her skin. The hint of purple in the crease compliments her eyes and the soft orange right above that compliments her skin. She couples the same orange on her cheek and a hint of it in her lips as well. If you want to know how to get this look click the video below!

Kim Kardashian Tutorial

This is our third Kim Kardashian look and I love this one just as much as the others. Enjoy!!! =) Keep those requests coming!

Natural Glow With Long Lashes

This was my birthday dinner look and one of the girls requested to see what I used. I wore a soft pink dress and the Coastal Scents blush color matched PeRfEcTlY!!! Thank you for all of the birthday wishes and ladies for such a wonderful night! =)

Quick Looks Green & Pink

 If you'll notice I have one pink and one green eye. The fun never stops here! Hope everyone is having a fabulous March! I wanted to do more looks utilizing the 88 palette because there really are SO many different combinations. The possibilities are ENDLESS!!! =)

Purple Sunrise (Sariah's Look)

A friend came down to stay with us this weekend and wanted to get new shadows. Being new to the area I had to Map Quest the nearest mall and off we went while the hubbies stayed home with the kiddies. BOY could you tell it was a Saturday. The MAC counter was PaCkEd and leaking out into the walkway to do makeovers. She ended up picking up Fig 1 and Golden Rod, two BeAuTiFuL colors (insert me drooling)!!! She asked me to do a look with them and this is what I came up with. SO much fun!!!
