"Fake It Until You Make It": Bigger Eyes


Through all of our handy beauty products, we enhance and improve upon our features that we were born with, and play up the ones that we wish had a bit more prominence. So that saying “fake it until you make it” can really ring true in the beauty world – if you want fuller lips, make them; bolder brows, create them; and a contoured jawline, contour it! In this Article I'll teach you the tips and tricks to tweaking your features and “faking it” until you “make it.” 
Whether it be restless nights, allergies making eyes puffy or naturally small eyes (the list goes on and on) we all want our eyes to appear larger. This can seem hard to accomplish but with a few tricks and tips, you can achieve a larger looking eye in no time. From eye liners to sleeping habits, we’ve covered the basis of getting those beautiful eyes to pop. Take a look at the tips below and enjoy your bigger eyes!

White eyeliner: When applying liner to the water line, you want to opt for a white or blush toned liner to make the eye appear brighter and bring more light to the that part of the face.
Eye cream: It’s never too early to start applying eye cream underneath eyes before you sleep. This will help to treat and hydrate the delicate tissue underneath the eyes, allowing you to wake up with fresh, de-puffed eyes. Puffiness can make your eyes look smaller, so de-puffing is always a plus.
Concealer: Try using a salmon pink color concealer under the eyes. This will work better to neutralize out those blues and purples that naturally come with the area under your eyes, and neutralizing these colors will help to brighten up, and therefore widen, your eyes.

Curl lashes: It may seem the oldest trick in the book, but there’s a good reason for that! Curling lashes before applying mascara helps to open up the eye, then once mascara is applied it accentuates the bigger, wider lashes.
Double coating: Don’t be afraid to double up on your mascara and apply two coats from the lash root to end. Mascara works to brighten and open up the eye, drawing more attention to them, and two coats of a mascara that won’t clump helps to really make your eyes look huge.
Follow the crease: When applying eyeshadow, follow the natural shape of the eye and you’ll notice dramatic results. Place the darker color in the crease of the eye and lighter shades on the lid for optimal results.
Brows: Bold brows aren’t just a huge trend because Cara Delevingne looks amazing. Filled in, strong brows frame the face and make your eyes pop, so skip the tweezing and opt for a brow pencil instead.

You're the fairest of them all

Loved doing the makeup for this Snow White Inspired Shoot.

The Photographer Anastasia Strate, really wanted our Model Codi, of Codi Critchfield Photography and Art, to pop against the snow. While maintaining elegance, pose, and beauty. 

I wanted Codi, to look clean and fresh. With a pop of red on her lips. 

The Photos turned out Gorgeous! I look forward to working with both of them in the future!

RAW SEMI FINALS

RAW SEMI FINALS, are now done and over with. I'm happy it ended at the beginning of the month so I could enjoy what's left of the holiday season. (Less Stress... YEA, RIGHT!)

For Semi Finals, I was one out of three talented ladies to compete! (What a compliment!) All finalist were only allowed to have two models walk the runway in-front of the cheering crowd. 

Since I'm a beauty makeup artist who also dabbles in Special Effects, I wanted to do something that would move the crowd, and show off what I really know how to do.

It took some brainstorming and bouncing ideas off my peers before I finally made a concrete decision on what my looks would be.

An ANGEL and  FALLEN ANGEL

It only was tell after the fact I realized my name is Victoria, and I'm going with an angels theme.
(Nobody tell Victoria's secret..However I'd put my ladies up against theirs any day of the week.)

I want to give a huge shout out to Miss Panoramaland, Mallory Rogers. She took on the role as my angel and all I got to say is, "WOW," she rocked it. 

Another huge shout out to my girl Callie Wall, who took on the task of being my fallen angel! Callie helped me with my last RAW showcase as my zombie. I think this girl likes being covered in prosthetics and latex. Which makes my job easier, and this girl knows how to get into character. 

I want to thank all my friends and family for coming out and supporting me. You guys will truly never know what your support means to me. If it wasn't for my family, my boyfriend, friends, and loved ones. I don't think I'd be so up to the task of pushing myself head on into this industry. 

I didn't win the competition..... BUTTTT...

I GOT THE COVER!!!

Sheer Delight

Vintage Photo Shoot

On Tuesday I teamed up with LobLee Photography for this Vintage inspired shoot.
I have yet to meet the Photographer behind Loblee Photography, LeeYen Lobendahn.

The shoot was something we put together via brainstorming and countless messages back and forth. I was unable to attend the shoot due to other obligations. However the pictures turned out stunning. I'm very grateful to have been apart of something so beautiful.

When LeeYen said she was in need of a model, preferably blonde, Kenzie immediately popped into my head. She is an amazing model, who dropped her previous plans to be there bright and early. I can't get over how stunning this girl is, she's truly Divine

Dani Hagemeister, was the fabulous stylist for this shoot. She makes the most amazing vintage 
headpieces! Be sure to check out her website by clicking on her name!
