Rural Glamour: Beauty Pet Peeve...Barefaced-ness...:)

This has been bothering me for a long time....I call it "barefaced-ness". I've seen it online, various websites,church, being out and about, etc, etc....

**You have on a bad outfit, hair and nails did and done, shoes and handbag just right...yet you have on no makeup...BAREFACED-NESS!!!***

And STOP it right now with "I don't how to do makeup" or "I don't do makeup" or ( my favorite excuse) "I don't have TIME to put on makeup" But YOU had time to go to the mall,waxed on and off about this hot outfit you got,drag people to the mall with you...yet you can't do 5 minutes of lipgloss and mascara.

As my Diva, B.Scott would say...bitch.boo.bye!!!

But your cousin Jamesy is here to help. In the next set of photos, I will show how to combat BAREFACED-NESS in about four steps....

#1( above)

Me...BAREFACED. But not dressed up. I was about to run an errand or two. But like Kimora Lee Simmons says " Leave the house dressed as if you might run into your worst enemy".

#2

I did two coats of mascara and a golden sheer shade of lip gloss... See the difference? My eyes look "open" and my mouth ain't dry looking...

#3

Fill in the brows...Jesus!!...I can't tell many times I see women with perfectly arched brows but they need just a little filling in because they have sparse areas. I used a Wet N Wild Brow Kit( complete with brush, two colors and a brow wax for wild hairs)





Now...I still look " BARE". Because I have splotchy areas and uneven color on my face...

#4

Apply powder.This can be a powder foundation or just translucent powder to combat oiliness for a bit. It gives face "finish" and brings you WHOLE look together...

And the point is ....pulling your look together. Makeup is the cherry on top:)...

N.O.T.D: OPI Over The Taupe...

eh.....

This is OPI Over The Taupe for the Paige Demin Collection. Reminds me of Sephora Metro Chic but a bit sheer. I did two coats and I could still see my nail underneath the color. All those taupe nail colors look like creek water...murky and dirty.

Shopping My Stash: Episode One...Tarte Eye Shadow Duo in Kamalame Cay...

Well...its late but this is my Fourth of July Look/Shopping My Stash/ Non-Tutorial...Why "Non-Tutorial"? Well, I'll probably never do any. I'm just not that hot on displaying my "technique" like I know what I'm doing and I'm doing it good enough to be a "guru".


Because, I'm pretty sure we have all watch those YouTube tutorials that you went..




"Why does think she can do makeup...ewww."




Yep. Not everyone on that joint can do them...very well. I am one.:) So my channel will have a bit of a different angle. It's going to be...Me...real life...my life as a beauty addict and random beauty addict posts.



Hopefully, no one will ask for a tutorial.:)

Watch the video...subscribe...I promise to entertain!

N.O.T.D. Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Color in Blue Me Away...

Happy Monday!!!

I just did this N.O.T.D this morning...Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Color in Blue Me Away. Its a great sky blue...but unfortunately out of all those different colors I saw in the collection( about 20 or so) it was the only one to catch my eye...step it up Sally Hansen.

Out of these two pictures...the first picture is the truest to what it really looks like.
