BH Cosmetics Galaxy Palette Tutorial- Star Child Eye Look

This week I decided to revisit some of my eye shadow palettes that have not received enough attention.  I came across my BH Cosmetics Galaxy Chic Palette that I purchased on sale back in December.  I forgot how truly awesome these eye shadows are.  The Palette comes in a compact case and a decent sized mirror.  The palette has 18 luxurious baked eye shadows that range from gorgeous neutrals to stunning pops of colors.  I like to use my MAC fix plus to amp up the pigmentation with the more colorful shades.  All of the eye shadows are pretty metallic and some have flecks of glitter, which I think are pretty.  If you purchase this palette, you will need to use some other eye shadows in your collection to create a completed look.  I use some of my matte eye shadows and lighter shades.  But this is a really great palette to get a number of fun looks.  The Galaxy Chic palette is currently out of stock on the BH Cosmetics website but you can have the company e-mail you when they restock.  Also, BH Comsetics has a number of sales every other week so the already very affordable price of $15.99 can be even lower. This is a fantastic and high quality palette.  I created a stunning eye shadow look with this palette.  If you want to recreate the look, just keep reading!

1.  Prime your eye.  Gently smooth your favorite eye primer on your eyelid to your brow bone.  I used Urban Decay's Primer Potion in Eden.

2.  Apply an eye shadow base to your entire eyelid.  Using a flat eye shadow brush, take a neutral eye shadow and apply it on your eyelid to your brow bone.  I like Urban Decay's Eye Shadow in Foxy.

3.  Apply Prometheus as your transition shade.  Take a clean blending brush and gently swipe in Prometheus.  Lightly apply Prometheus into your crease using a windshield wiper motion.

4.  Blend Aphrodite into your outer corner.  Using a pointed crease brush, dip into Aphrodite.  Be sure to tap off any excess eye shadow.  Apply Aprodite by gently pressing brush into the outer V of your eyelid in a small circular motion.  Take a clean blending brush and blend the upper portion of Aphrodite into your crease.

5.  Make your eyelids pop with Cosmic.  Dip an oval eye shadow brush in Cosmic.  Spray the eye shadow brush with Mac Fix Plus (or water) and gently press onto eyelid.

6.  Line your bottom lash line.  Take Prometheus with a smudge brush and line the bottom lash line.  Follow this by taking Aphrodite on a clean smudge brush and apply and blend on to the outer one-third bottom lash line.

7.  Define eyes.  Using a deep brown eyeliner, rim your bottom and upper lash line.  I like Mary

Kay's Deep Brown Eyeliner.

8.  Amp up the look with mascara.  Apply 2 coats of mascara with your favorite black mascara.  For this look, I used Tarte's ManEater Voluptuous mascara (upper lash) and Clique's Bottom lash mascara (lower lash).

There you have it my Star Child Eye Look!  Go out and shine lovelies!

Perfect Pair: BT Pick for Lip Liner and Lip Color

I recently found a lip liner and lip gloss combination that is completely amazing!  I wanted to share this dynamic duo with you for the month of October.  This lip shade goes perfectly with natural or high impact color eyeshadows.  The pink-nude lip shown was done by filling in the lips with ColourPop's lip pencil in Contempo ($5.00), dusty rose.  All of ColourPop's lip pencils are very pigmented and creamy.  Then Urban Decay's Revolution High-Color Lipgloss in Liar ($22.00), a medium pink-nude, was applied on top of contempo.  Try the look out and comment below to let me know what you think!

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).
