DIY: Chart Your Makeup Stash

OMG. I saw this on Pinterest and I just had to share this idea with you. I think this is by far the coolest way to keep an inventory of your personal makeup collection! Can you spell A-W-E-S-O-M-E???



Bust out your makeup, a nice piece of blank paper and draw and swatch away! It would probably be a good idea to laminate it afterwards to keep it from getting dirty and smudging the swatches. I so want to do this but I don't think it would be a good idea to do so with all my stuff. I'd probably stress myself out grouping my stuff together and make the swatches fit in few pieces of paper as possible. :(

Enjoy sketching and swatching!

I Want Her Hair

Look at how gorgeous her hair color is...

Day 6 to 10: Makeup School

This continues my adventures in makeup school, Maquillage Professionel.

DAY 6: Smoky Eye

The school has a different approach when it comes to smoky eye makeup. They're not just limited to the usual colors of black, brown, blue, green and violet. In Maquillage Professionel, you can use ANY color you want as long as you use just one color and achieve that diminishing or smoky effect.
