Custom Design your Shoes!

I had old grey shoes that the stones were missing in the front. I also had plain black shoes I wanted to dress up. What to do? I went to the trimming stores on 38th street in Manhattan and found a few nice pieces! Go decorate your own for the new season!

Wedding or Party Makeup Look


1. Pat an oil free foundation on your lids.  The eyeshadow will have something to adhere to and last all night.

2. Brush on a pink eyeshadow till your crease.

3. Take a wet liner and line your lids.



4. To make the liner stay longer, layer on a black powder eyeshadow on top.



5. For more drama apply false lashes with duo glue and let it get tacky.
(wait approx. one minute) Apply the lash to your base with tweezers. Center first then push back both ends into your lash line.



6. Curl your lashes to blend your own with the falsies.

7. Take a brush and blend brown eyeshadow into the crease with a back and forth motion. Blend, blend, blend!



8. Apply mascara at the base of your lashes and wiggle back and forth until the tip.

9. Take an eyeshadow in the same shade as your brows and fill it in with a slanted brush.

10. Prep your skin with moisturizer and let in sink in for at least 5 minutes.

11. Take a foundation brush and pat on your liquid foundation.



12. Wet a blender sponge. Squeeze out the excess water and lightly "push" in the foundation into your skin so it 
will be seamless.



13. Lightly blend in concealer a shade lighter than your skin tone under your eyes. 

14. Apply bronzer to the hollows of your cheeks, sides of nose, sides of your forehead and chin.

15. Swipe on illuminator with a fan brush on top of your cheekbones, middle of nose, and on your top lip to make your features pop.

16. Apply nude lipstick and gloss.

17. Set your foundation with powder in your skin tone and you're done!
