Spring 2012

I love all the new looks that are popping up this spring! I hope to post more during the season.

We havnt experienced much of a winter this year... and its making me want spring that much more!!

The look I did today is a very natural look, with a bold eyebrow. You will see this look all over runways, magazines, tv and celebrities. I actually just saw Kim Kardashian wear this look in the part two season finale of "Kourtney and Kim take New York"

Just remember...this look can't be pulled off unless your brows are well groomed and properly shaped. You can get this professionally done at any salon or spa... but why bother when there are how-to steps all over the web. It's super easy. If your scared to start plucking... I always suggest that you get them done by a professional once... then you have a basic and correct shape to follow and keep up with!

Love this look! Have fun :)

Broken Powder REPAIR!

Hey guys, since I have been sick for a few days... my Golden Globes Makeup tutorial had been posponed for the time being. But here is a useful and cost effective way to fix your broken makeup!

I just received some eyeshadow and blush palettes in the mail today that i ordered. Well one of the blush colors came borken :(... so this gave me the perfect idea for my next blog post. Im sure alot of you wonder what to do with broken makeup... so keep reading and Enjoy! :)

Uh Oh! Dont you just hate when this happens to your makeup?! Not only does it make a huge mess in your purse, your makeup bag, drawers ect ect... But who has the money and the time to go and buy a brand new eyeshadow or blush?


Well I have GOOD NEWS! Not only will this trick save you money and a trip to the store, but you dont have to throw out that broken eyeshadow!

Heres what you do first!

Step 1: Take a q-tip and snip the cotton swab off of one end, so you just have the stick part

Step 2: As if your powder wasnt broken enough... you need to break it more! I know, I know.. messy and seems very pointless... but trust me... it helps to fix it!

Step 3: Take some rubbing alocohol, the higher percentage you use the better! (More bacteria fighting)

Step 4: Drop a few (4-5) drops into broken up powder... no need to mix it... the powder absorbs it quite quickly.
Step 5: Take a tissue and a flat object similar in size and shape to your powder that you are trying to fix... for this one I used a quarter

Step 6. Fold tissue in half and place oject inside it, so it forms like a little pouch

Step 7: Press down on top of broken shadow... use a gentle amount of pressure. You are trying to compact the powder back together... You might need to repeat this step another time... depending on how wet the powder

Step 8: Air dry for a few hours... over night is best


*If you want a neat design on your shadow, you can use a quilted paper towel, or even put a peice of lace the tissue. that will give your powders that brand new look without buying brand new makeup!

The reson this works so well is because alot of brands use an alcohol base when pressing loose powder into a compact powder! Neat little tid bit huh?

If you have any questions comment below!

I look forward to hearing from all of you, and thank you for watching! The Golden Globes Makeup Tutorial will be up very soon! :)

Introduction to the YouTube world!


Well isn’t that the most flattering face?! Really YouTube??? You couldn’t have picked a better thumbnail? Any who... this is my first VLOG yay!!!!

This is just an Intro video... first of what I hope to be many. I plan on doing some makeup tutorials in the near future. Different looks I like to do, different looks you guys want me to do, and some looks that I stumble upon in magazines or the internet. I will also share some hair style videos as well. Nothing fancy, well cuz I don’t do hair.. but I do sometimes find different cute ways to wear my hair… and I want to share them so other people can look cute too!

I’m not only doing this blog, youtube, facebook thing to help market myself… But I want to help inspire young and old, boy or girl. Follow your dreams… it makes you feel good. I was nervous and apprehensive to follow mine. Always in fear of not being good enough, and well for the simple fact that I really didn’t know how to get started. But thanks to a very good friend of mine (Susan), and lucky for me a contact of hers (Katherine) I found my way. Katherine is a celebrity makeup artist and she basically inspired me to go for it! So what did I do?... I just jumped right in. She warned me that in this business there are going to be a few haters… but that is to be expected. I am not going to let them bring me down. I believe in my talent and skills and so do a lot of other people, and that’s all that matters in the end.

I just want to thank you all for your love and support along this journey of mine. I hope it is a long, happy and successful one!

If you have any makeup looks you want me to do… feel free to comment

Lots of Love
-Renée Ann
