theprojectawesome series: FAB FALL/WINTER 2011-2012 MAKEUP TRENDS "NUDE LOOK"

Hi everyone! So, this is the other makeup series that I've been talking about, the FAB FALL/WINTER 2011-2012 MAKEUP TRENDS. I've read all about these makeup trends at www.ourvanity.com. You can check out their website HERE if you want. They also featured different hairstyle trends for the Fall/Winter 2011-2012. I found 6 different makeup trends from their website and so, I decided to do a makeup series featuring the different makeup trends. This is the first one, the always "IN" makeup look, the Nude Makeup Look.

I love nude makeup because the look is so simple and fresh. But don't be fooled, it may look simple but it will be harder than you thought it would be. Yes, it's fast to create but it's not that easy.You have to keep everything minimally. The look should look natural and effortless. This makeup look is perfect for the cold season since most of the time we get too lazy because of the coldness of the weather. If you're someone who is too lazy to doll up but cannot leave the house without any makeup on, then this is just the perfect go-to makeup look for you.

Watch the video tutorial HERE.

Note: Don't forget to moisturize since the weather can make your skin dry.

HOLIDAY MAKEUP LOOK SERIES I: SMOKEY OLIVE GREEN EYES

Hi everyone! So, this is my newest makeup series, the Holiday Makeup Looks. Actually, there will be another one which is the Fab Fall/Winter 2011-2012 Makeup Trends and I am currently working on the first video of that series right now so, stay tuned for that. Continuing on to the other makeup series, this is the first part or the first makeup look. This look is actually inspired by Xteeener. Yep, you guessed it right! I love her! I love her style and her looks so, I usually copy the makeup looks from her videos, well, some of her videos and not all of it.  Anyway, this makeup look is very easy to do. I rarely do green eye makeup looks so I decided to do it for a change and I loved how it looked like in the end. 

 So, I did a smokey olive green eye makeup. Since the eye makeup is already a little bit dramatic, I just went for nude lips. I really hope you'll like the makeup look. Watch the video tutorial in my YouTube channel or you can just click here or watch the attached video below if it's going to work. Hahaha!

The Complete Beauty through the Decades Makeup Series

It's official! My beauty through the decades makeup series is finally DONE! I managed to finish the eight looks from different decades in one month and two weeks. This is a great accomplishment for me because seriously, it's not that easy. I had to do thorough researching for each makeup looks and how they evolved in time. Trying to mimic different makeup looks from different decades wasn't easy and it's such a huge achievement for me to have very nice results. :)

Let's review, shall we?

I started with the Flappers from the Roaring Twenties

The beauty of The Great Depression in 1930s

The look from WWII in 1940s

The elegant and sophisticated look of 1950s

Dramatic eyes of the 60s

The hippie look from the 70s

The big, bold, vibrant look of the 80s

and the natural look from 1990s.

I should tell you. My inspiration to do this makeup series is Keri Hilson in Pretty Girl Rock. If you've seen her music video of Pretty Girl Rock, you'll see that she portrayed different women from different decades. Based on yahoo!music, Keri Hilson in Pretty Girl Rock pays tribute to a century's worth of beauties who paved her way. Pretty Girl Rock is one of my most favorite songs and music videos of all time. The message of the song is just real and beautiful.



That concludes my beauty through the decades makeup series. Yeah baby, yeah! Another mission accomplished from the project awesome by yours truly. I hope you enjoyed this makeup series.

Oh, and stay tuned for my next makeup series. It's gonna be as awesome as this. ;-)


Stay awesome my dear dudettes! :)

1980s Makeup Look: Beauty through the Decades makeup series part VII

Welcome to the colorful decade of the 1980s! Some say that makeup from the 80s era can be summed up in three B's: Big, Bold, and Bright. Well, we all know that's true. Hairstyles from the said period were utterly big and exaggerated and the colors used for makeup were obviously bright. If women from the 70s barely used makeup, women from the 80s sported a heavy, bright, makeup look which they even wore to their works.

HAIRSTYLES

The I'm-Closer-To-God-Than-You Bangs / Big Hair

The Side Ponytail

MAKEUP LOOK

FACE

Use a matte foundation to achieve a flawless matte skin look. Choose a foundation shade that is closer to your skin tone. Apply loose powder to set.

EYES

The eyes were strikingly bright and colorful. Popular eye shadows during the 80s were pinks and blues. You can also add other vibrant colors to use for your eye makeup. Line your top and bottom lids with huge amounts of black liner. Apply heavy coats of mascara.

BLUSH

Pink rouge were popular for the cheeks. It should be applied heavily and most women chose not to blend their blushes.

LIPS

The most famous choice for the lips was fuchsia. Use a fuchsia lip liner to line the lips, exaggerating a bit then top off with a bright fuchsia lipstick.

1980s BEAUTY ICONS

Madonna

Brooke Shields

Olivia Newton John

Cyndi Lauper

1990s Makeup Look (Beauty through the Decades Part VIII)

I'm finally down to the last part of my Beauty through the Decades makeup series! Hello 1990's!

I love the 90s because I was already a person in this decade and I have quite a few memories about this era regarding music and how people looked back then. I love 90s music because it was the time of my eldest sister and older brother so I was influenced with their choices of music. I also remembered my sister and my older cousins used to wear dark or brown matte lip colors. Most of the time, they are not wearing makeup at all. Or if they do, they only use a little just to enhance their faces. They also wore their hair very differently compared to how they sported their hairstyles during the 80s based on their pictures I've seen. No more big curly hairs. Most of the time they just have their hair down. The only way they style their hairs was by adding volume by blow drying.

After reviewing and researching about the 90s hairstyles and makeup looks a couple of weeks ago, I told myself, "Ah, so that's why they (my sister and cousins) looked like that back then". Wanna know why I thought about that? Let's go and review the 90s hairstyles and makeup trends.

HAIRSTYLES

1990s PUNK

This hairstyle reminds me of The Cranberries.

MEDIUM-LENGTH BOB HAIRCUT

This teen hairstyle was popularized by most stars in the 90s such as Sarah Michelle Gellar, Melissa Joan Hart, Michelle Williams, Reese Witherspoon, and Alyssa Milano.

THE BOYISH CROP

Girls went gaga over this hairstyle after seeing the movie Ghost which starred Demi Moore, who popularized this very short hairstyle. Some even call this looke, The Style of Demi Moore.

JULIA ROBERTS' Auburn Mane

Julia Roberts is one of the best tressed celebrities during the 90s.

THE RACHEL GREEN HAIRCUT

This haircut was popularized by Jennifer Aniston which attracted many people. It became famous during the height of the comedy sitcom F.R.I.E.N.D.S. where Jennifer played as Rachel Green, hence the hairstyle The Rachel Green.

MAKEUP TRENDS

The Grunge Look

The grunge look was popular during the early 90s. People back then were influenced by the grunge music. The intention of wearing makeup was, weirdly, not to beautify oneself but really the opposite.

FACE - Pale, matte skin. Some even used a foundation lighter than their skin tone to achieve this look.

EYES - Heavily-applied and smudged black eyeliner, mascara to make the eyes look even darker, glitters were sometimes used and the brows were not defined nor groomed

BLUSH - not usually worn

LIPS - Intense matte deep reds (sometimes smeared), dark colors, metallic colors

Natural/Neutral Look

The natural, matte makeup look became popular during the mid 90s. Women finally went back on beautifying their faces when the brown-toned, light pinks, and matte makeup arrived.

FACE - matte, natural-looking skin were achieved by using matte liquid or cream foundation and powder for setting

EYES - brown, neutral, and light pink shades were popular for the eyes. Darker shades were used for the crease and highlighter on the brow bone. Dark eyeliner applied very thinly on the upper lash line. Choices for mascara were brown and black. Brows were shaved to medium thickness and were well-defined.

BLUSH - creamy pink, dusty rose, and neutral tones

LIPS - matte lip colors with the shades of brown, red, or wine

The No-Makeup Look

During the late 90s, women tried to perfect the natural look. The no-makeup look was achieved with a minimal use of makeup.

FACE - foundations and powders were usually skipped. Of course, the skin was moisturized that's why the face was often just fresh and dewy-looking. Concealer was used if needed.

EYES - no eyeshadows. Cream foundation was just applied all over the lids. Dark eyeliners were replaced by the white ones. Eyebrows were thicker.

BLUSH - blusher were not worn or if desired, it should be applied very lightly

LIPS - thickly glossed lips. No colored lip glosses, please!
