OOTD & New Hair Color

 

Strawberry

So I decided to color my hair in a nice red. I went to CVS and spent like an hour trying to decide on which shade of red to buy. Finally I picked this strawberry red. It is a really bright red but I love how it looks.

I’m glad that I get to do an OOTD today as well because I haven’t done that in a long while. I wore some really

• dark blue boot cut jeans, from Joyceleslies
• a black sweater, from Jembro
• a white fitted jacket with a nice broidered embellisment on the edges, from Pay Half
• black laced up high heals
• a red pocket book from Ashro, to match my hair.

Hope you guys like my Outfit of the Day….

Today I wanted to do a post on how to choose makeup products if you have never purchased makeup or worn makeup before, or if you are thinking about what to get and you are not sure. I just made a video on this topic and posted it on my Youtube channel, please check it out as well and leave me any questions or comments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOOm93PdsUI

Here are the basic things that you will want to purchase for your Makeup starters kit :

1. Concealer

2. Foundation

3. Face Powder

4. Eyeshadow

5. Eyeliner

6. Mascara

7. Blush

8. Lip gloss or Lipstick

9. A Mirror

Ok, now that you have your list ready of what to get I would suggest going to a department store to try find what foundation/face powder/concealer best works for your complexion. The reason that I suggest going to a department store like Macy’s, Sears, Sephora etc…is because there are people there who will help you find the right shades of  foundation and face powder, as well as blush and lip colors. They will usually test different shades on you, make sure however that you let them know your skin type, this way they can suggest what type of product will be good for your skin.

Next, pick out an eye shadow that you  will be comfortable wearing, it doesn’t have to be a bold or bright color, it can be a neutral/natural eye shadow. Remember the key to purchasing your first set of makeup is to get what makes you feel comfortable and brings out your personality.

After getting an eye shadow pick out an eyeliner and mascara, either black or brown. (brown would definitely be for girls/women with blonde-light hair color)

Next pick out a blush that is a shade that matches your complexion and would give a nice healthy glow. The women at the department store will definitely be able to help you find a good shade of blush as well.

Lastly pick a lip gloss or lipstick that you will be comfortable wearing, if you don’t want to wear a lipstick I suggest getting a lip gloss with a tint of color, this works really well and I personally use glosses more than lipsticks.

There you have it girls, I hope that this post can be of some help to you in some way, pleas leave me a comment or question below and I will definitely help in anyway I can.
