day&night

My friend & makeup artist, Morgan, came over last week to give me some makeup tips. She showed me some simple tricks on how to apply eye shadow (I am horrible at applying eye makeup- besides eyeliner and mascara) how to blend, and where to apply certain shades. She also showed me how to use the makeup I already have so I wouldn't have to purchase a million new things. Plus, we got to try out my new products from the giveaway I won!


I wanted a good day & night option and this was the result:

I love both equally. The day time look is so classic and simple. 
This night time look will be perfect for my upcoming trip to Vegas!

I seriously could not get over the dark blue. Whenever I used to think of blue eye shadow or blue eyeliner I would cringe. Then I saw it popping up a lot lately and honestly, I was scared to try it. But now... I'm totally sold, this is brilliant. Thanks Morgan! I loved the whole process and learned so much!

What do you think? Do you like my day & night look?
