Silver Bells

The Christmas spirit has finally hit me this year. It seems as I've gotten older I don't get into the holiday's as much as I did when I was younger. Now that my niece and nephew are at that age where their little faces light up at this time of year it gives me something to look forward to. I was having dinner at my mom's last night and she was buzzing around the kitchen sing "Silver Bells" in her "lovely" voice lol and it's been stuck in my head ever since. I have a feeling that may be the only Christmas song my momma knows lol she's been singing it since my brother and I were kids and I don't really remember her singing a lot of other Christmas songs. I remember it used to bug me when she'd sing it when I was younger but now it makes me laugh and miss being a kid. Anyway...since it's been stuck in my head I got home and pulled out every silver glittery pigment I own (i think) and created a "Silver Bells" inspired look. Here's how to get it:

  • I first used my Urban Decay primer potion

  • next I used the silver from the Make Up Forever Flash Pallete as a base


    • Next I used a light glittery blue with silver undertones called My French Boyfriend from Simply Kendra Cosmetics.  starting a little past my inner corner I angled it out toward my outer corner


    •  In my crease I used Time Square a gorgeous dark silver packed with shimmer from Tick:Tock Cosmetics

    • Then to darken up the outer corner I added a dark silvery grey from the Urban Decay's15th Anniversary Pallette called Ace

    • And then this look need more sparkle of course lol so I as my highlight I used Lila's Light Year from StellaStarish Cosmetics, a gorgeous white LOADED with sparkly greatness lol
    • I also added more glittery funness with another color from StellaStarish called Mercury, I used this color wet as my liner mixed with a bit of glitter called GlamRock from Inaz Cosmetics. (I was in a very sparkly mood if you can tell lol)





     I hope you enjoyed this first blog post/tutorial of mine and I apolgize for the sad picture quality hopefully santa will bring me a better camera for christmas. Let me know if there are any other christmas songs you'd like to see a look based off of. :) Happy Holidays
