Fall Trend Alert-Dusty Rose

This Fall's new and very romantic cosmetic look is Dusty Rose!  Dusty Rose is that perfect pop of cool toned colors in the sea of Fall's brown and yellow warm shades.  ColourPop has hit the nail on the head with their new cosmetic line featuring dusty rose.  We are absolutely loving ColourPop's Zingara eyeshadow collection ($18.00).  The Zingara collection has eyeshadows in paradox (a cool-toned burgundy red), Elixer (a mid-toned terracotta), Seeker (a warm redish matte brown), and Jinxie (a soft gold in a pearl finish).  Finish the Dusty Rose look with blush in Bardot ($8.00), a copper-gold blush, and the ultra-satin lip stain in Calypso ($6.00), a pinky nude.  Check out dusty rose shadows in Brady ($5.00), a mauve pink, and Muse ($5.00), a copper rose.    All Colourpop eyeshadows, pigments, and blushes are super creamy and blend easy.  Orders $50 ship for free!

Pride + Prejudice + Zombies Tutorial- The Kitty

Welcome to our fourth makeup tutorial on the BH Cosmetics Pride + Prejudice + Zombies Eye and Cheek palette ($12.50)!  This tutorial features a Kitty Bennet inspired eye look.  The Kitty is a sweet, flirty and very feminine smoked out purple eye cosmetic.  As always, please refer to the below numbered palette for the correct eyeshadow color.  Let's get going!


1.  Prime your eyelids.  Use MAC's Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly ($22.00) and smooth on eyelids, crease, and brow bone.

2.  Apply highlighter shade.  Using a flat eyeshadow brush, apply eyeshadow color 7 to brow bone and crease.

3.  Create a transition color.  Swipe on eyeshadow color 10 into the crease and slightly above the
crease using a fluffy eyeshadow brush.  Smooth the color on by applying the shade using a windshield wiper motion.

4.  Pat on the eyelid color.  Using a medium eyeshadow brush, gently pat on eyeshadow color 8 over the entire eyelid.

5.  Define the crease and contour the eye.  Take eyeshadow color 9 and apply to the crease using a small eyeshadow smudge brush.  Use the same color to create a cut-crease by outline the outer V of the eye.  Lightly blend the eyshadows (crease, contour, and transition) using the fluffy brush.

6.  Smoke out the lower lash line.  Using the small smudge brush, smoke out the lower eyelash line with eyeshadow color 9.  Slightly lighten the color by applying eyeshadow color 8 on top.

7.  Define eyelash lines.  Take Smashbox's 3D Waterproof Kohl Eyeliner ($21.00) in Raven and line upper and lower lash lines.

8.  Curl eyelashes and apply mascara.  

9.  Finish the look.  Apply blush color 15 on the apples of cheeks using an angled blush brush.  Highlight the high points of your face (upper cheekbones, bridge of nose, forehead, chin, and cupid's bow) using color 13 and a kabuki brush.  Add a pop of color to your lips.  I like Too Faced La Creme Color Drenched Lipstick in Sugar Daddy ($22.00).

You are ready to ROCK this look!  If you like this tutorial, be sure to check out our other looks inspired by the Pride and Prejudice and Zombies eye and cheek palette: The Jane, The Elizabeth, and The Mary.

Pride + Prejudice + Zombies Tutorial- The Mary

This third tutorial for BH's Cosmetics Pride + Prejudice + Zombies ($12.50) is inspired by the third daughter of the Bennet Family, Mary.  The Mary is a soft, natural and sophisticated eye look. Let's get started (refer to the below pic for eyeshadow colors)!


1.  Prime eyelids and brow bone.  For this tutorial, I used Urban Decay's Original Primer Potion ($20.00).

2.  Apply highlighter shade.  Pat eyeshadow color 7 on brow bone and crease using a flat eyeshadow brush.

3.  Blend transition shade into crease.  Using a blending brush, apply eyeshadow color 4 into crease and lightly lift above the crease.

 4.  Define crease using the dark brown eyeshadow.  Take eyeshadow color 5 and apply to crease using a small smudge brush.  Take the blending brush and smooth out, 2 strokes using a windshield wiper motion.

5.  Apply a soft neutral color to the eyelid.  Tap and smooth on eyeshadow color 1 on eyelid using
the flat eyeshadow brush.

6.  Define the outer v using a surprise metallic brown.  Using a medium crease brush or angled eyeliner brush, apply eyeshadow color 6 to the outer V.  Gently blend eyeshadow using the blending brush.

7.  Line bottom eyelash line.  Smudge eyeshadow color 4 using the small crease brush.

8.  Gently tap on highlighter.  Tap highlighter (color 13) on the eyelid using the flat eyeshadow brush.

9.  Define eyes using a dark brown eyeliner.

10.  Swipe on mascara. Apply mascara to upper and lower eyelashes.

11.  Finish the look.  Using your blush brush, apply blush 14 to the hollows of cheeks.  Remove excess color, and use the brush to apply highlighter above the cheeks, the bridge or your nose, and the cupid's bow above your lips.  Put on a rich, neutral lip color.  I like CoverGirl's Katy Kat Matte Lipstick in Catour ($8.99).
