High School Makeup Tutorial + SURPRISE!!!!

Hey Guys!
How you been doing? I hope you have been having a wonderful school year! So today I wanted to share with you my high school makeup tutorial. Just as a Disclaimer, makeup is all about preference so if you do not want to wear this much makeup or you want to include more its all up to you... Plus you may be wondering why there is no pictures for this post... well there is a video continuation of this post on Youtube (WHAAAATTTT!!!!!) So come on down and Check It Out! Link will be down below...




1. I first start by applying my Neutrogena health skin primer. This primer does a pretty good job at keeping my makeup on all day. Primer helps me especially when I'm in dance class, LET ME TELL 'YA! All I do it swipe this all over my face where I'm going to apply my makeup, with my hands. When doing this be sure not to be to harsh. Be nice to your skin!

2. Next I take my beauty blender (because what would a tutorial be without it) and my Physicians Formula BB Cream that I featured in my last favorites post, (http://just-be-fabulous.blogspot.com/2014/07/my-june-favorites.html)
 and blending into my skin. I am making sure to carry it onto my neck and into my hairline slightly.

3. After this we gotta cover up those dark circles. So I take my Instant Age Rewind Dark Spot Eraser from Maybelline in the color fair, and swiping this onto my dark circles and any blemishes I may have on my face.

P.S My face is clearing up finally! Woot Woot!

I then blend it in with my beauty blender. However if you do not have one ,your finger will also do a fairly good job.

4. To set my foundation I take a fluffy brush and swipe Cover girl's oil control pressed powder on my T-zone, under my eyes to set the concealer, and on my chin.

NOTE: BEFORE APPLYING ANY SHADOWS or POWDERS OF ANY KIND TAP OF THE EXCESS ON YOUR WRIST!

Also if you are a fan of highlighting you may want to do that before this step. I really only highlight my face if I am going somewhere special. For highlighting I opt for my Laura Mercier secret camouflage duo.

5. This step is really optional, but if you would like to add some dimension to your face this is the time for contouring. When I'm feeling up to it I will take my fluffy brush again ( which is probably making beauty guru's out there cringe ) and taking a blusher bronzer from my Haute Jersey pallet by NYX( which I think is discontinued sadly) and contouring my face by working with the E3 Style. If you do not have this pallet, you can just take your favorite bronzer and use the same technique I am using here.

6. Now is the time to move onto the eyes, First you should start of with an eyelid primer,  but because I fail at life I still have not picked one up... Since this is a high school tutorial, I think we can play up the eyes a little more. For me I like to start all my eye looks with creme shadow bases in solid colors. I think it makes the powder based shadows stick to adhere to the lid better and it gives a little more dimensions. I'm going to start of by using my Color Tattoo Metal 24hr from Maybelline's EYESTUDIO in the shade Barely Branded and using my finger to spread that all over the lid and slightly to my inner corners.

7. After this we need to define our crease. I like using my Color Stay Mineral Eye Shadow in Sunlight jade for this step, but you can use any light brown for this. For this step I take my flat shader brush from Shany Cosmetics and take the brush color and focus it in my crease and outer v.

8. Next I take a slightly darker brown from my Haute Jersey pallet on a small brush , also from Shany, and focus this in my outer v.


9. After this is done, its is time to blend. I like to take my double sided brush and blend all of the shadows together and upwards. Remember when blending its good for them to look one color, but not so much that it looks muddy.

10. Then taking a highlighting shade with a shader brush, I am applying this right under my brow bone. This would be the time to fill in your brows and all that jazz however, I am not very good at it so I will save you from the horror.

11. After this I tightline my eyes with my favorite eyeliner that I feature in my favorites so check it out! ( More Self Promotion :p)

12. Lastly I am curling my lashes and applying numerous coats of my favorite mascara combo at the moment. First I use Covergirl's lash exact in black, to separate the bottom and top lashes. Then I follow up with Covergirl's lashblast Volume mascara to volumize my lashes and give them that final touch.

13 Finally I brush them through with an brow brush and pop on some chap stick and voila!

TGIF + YouTube Maybe? + What is My Problem?

My week can be summed up in four words.

I. am. a. mess

Monday:
I forgot all of my theatre + chorale music

Tuesday:
First rehearsal, almost was late...

Wednesday:
I forgot to switch over my supplies from Bday to Aday!

Thursday:
I lost my very expensive ring that I received, on Wednesday...

Friday:
I'm not dead :(  + I had Dunkin Donuts Coffee!!!! I AM HYPER :D :D :D TGIF





I am thinking about starting a Youtube channel! I am not sure yet on the idea but I would love to start one. It would be like a video continuation of this blog. Just wanted to put that out there. If you have any thoughts or tips I'd love to hear them in the comments. It would not be a very serious posting schedule because of my already crazy schedule, but I am highly considering it. So don't hold me to anything yet but I'm thinking...

I apologize for not posting this week I have just been so not motivated (for lack of a better term) to write anything! Which is ironic considering this week is fashion week! I really need to get it together. I am struggling to find inspiration so I am reaching out to (again) you! If you would like to see something appear on my blog never be afraid to comment. I encourage it! Whether that be outfit inspiration, advice, tutorials, more of my gif trails you name it! Also if I like your idea I will definitely sure to give you a shout out on Instagram if that's any incentive at all? All you have to do to comment on post is to click on the title of the post, then scroll down to the bottom.

PS If you are mobile you may have notice I changed it back to website mode instead of mobile mode just for the fact that you cant really get the fully effect of my blog in mobile mode :)

Finding You

Even though I've probably said it a hundred times , and I'm being kind of hypocritical, I absolutely hate when people say BE YOURSELF. I hate this because if you don't know who you are and who you want to be then how can you possibly be yourself...

The path to find yourself never really ends. The world is constantly changing and so are you. You're elementary school self is probably different then your middle school self. Your middle school self is probably different then your high school self. And your high school self is probably going to be different then your college self. Every single day is an opportunity to find something new about you. I think its so amazing that we don't really have to figure out who we are or who we want to be all at once. It gives us a change to grow and learn and to not be confined to one specific thing. If you don't know who you are yet ITS OKAY! Just be the best possible version of you now. You are a consistently growing puzzle and each time you find a little something new, you get one step closer to seeing the finished picture.

Say yes to new opportunities!

Try something you never thought of before.

Don't listen to negativity. 

Don't give in, and never give up!

On Being Hopeful + Bloggers Problems

On Being Hopeful...
I have had a very frustrating journey with my skin. Every time I try to use a product  to clear up my acne it works for about 2 weeks and then stops working. I've never been able to figure out why my skin hasn't been clearing up. I still haven't been able to figure it however I have finally have a glimmer of hope. My mom finally caved and I have started using the Proactive + Complete Care System. I am definitely hoping that it performs its so called "magic" and I will finally have close to perfect skin.

Blogger Problems:

I've been having a little writers block lately. I just really haven't been as inspired as I used to be in the summer . I apologize so much for not posting as much as I should. I still need to work out the times when I will be able to sit down and write a post. I just don't want to put mediocre content out there anymore. So I thought I would turn to you all! You can either comment on this post ( by either clicking on the title and scrolling to the bottom or if you on mobile click " Post a Comment" ) or DM me on Instagram @fabulouslyme21 with ideas of what you would like to see. If I like it I just might post it. I'd also love to do and AskFabulous post where you can ask me a bunch of questions so you can also DM me those. 

I'm also very disappointed the way the website comes across on mobile. If any of you are bloggers you know what I mean...

<3 Stay Fabulous<3

P.S Speaking of Staying , 1+ This post if you've seen If I Stay yet! AWW THE FEELS!!! Also comment if you liked it or not.

My High School Realization

Hey guys! Long time no see. How was your first day of school? I really hoped you had a good one. Mine was so chaotic! I'm still getting adjusted but I will get used to it ...I hope.  So as most of you know I started school on Wednesday of last week and I've realized a lot of things. I thought I'd share with you my realizations and struggles of the first week of school.

1. Actually getting up in the morning, not the first day, BUT THE SECOND! The first day your so pumped up, you get up on time. But the second day you literally want to melt into your bed and just stay there for all eternity.

2. Figuring out your schedule. If it was not for knowing at least one person in each of my classes, this would have been such a HUGE problem for me. There's just so many places you need to be and there all in different locations ITS TOO MUCH TO HANDLE!!!
 

3. Just because you use primer, that does not mean that by the end of the day you won't look like a sweaty, sleepy, zombie. I mean I took so much effort in the morning to make sure my makeup looked perfect and after 7 and 1/2 hours it all means nothing!


4. Teachers who give you homework on the first day are the worst. Sure this may be just a short response, or a couple math problems, BUT ITS STILL HOMEWORK! HOW COULD YOU BE THIS CRUEL :O

5. Its so terribly tempting (that's fun to say) to wear sweats. I have a personal rule about not wearing sweat pants to school because I feel like it shows that you just don't care and that's not how I want to come off to my teachers. ( Can you say Goody-To-Shoes) But they just feel so good and comfy and I just wanna wear them BUT I CAN'T.

6. Social media will be your savior. If you follow someone on Instagram, I feel like it is a lot easier to talk to them in real life. Its sounds weird but I feel like if they accept your request, its kind of green light to say " hey it's actually okay if you talk to me ".

7. For me gym class actually doesn't suck first period. Since I go to an Arts High School, are gym unit right now is Yoga ( you jelly ?).  Its such a nice way to get unstressed before the intensity that is my day of High School Education.

8. Lunch on the first day is Scary as... well you know what I mean! Everybody just automatically knows who their going to sit with and where their going to sit. Then your just standing there debating if you should try to sit by a stranger or man up and eat in the bathroom.... Oh and school lunch is DISGUSTING!

9. Freshman Friday is not a real thing!


10. In an extra boring class its fun to have a buddy who you can make jokes with the entire time. Sure I should be listening but...

<3 Stay Fabulous <3

6 School Makeup Essentials + My Plan

1. BB Cream. Waking up in the morning for me is always a struggle. Because of this I like to use a BB cream instead of a liquid foundation. BB cream is a great essential because it is one product that does a million different things. This way you can cut down the time it takes you to get ready by a good five minutes.

2. Eye lid Primer. This product is so essential for school. The school day is 6-7 hours long. That is more than enough time for your eye shadow to look like a muddy mess. By using eyelid primer, it will ensure lasting eye shadow perfection for longer.

3. A good mascara. Long, black, and curled eyelashes really complete any look. I would opt for a waterproof mascara opposed to a non waterproof one because of the fact that they don't smudge and nobody likes raccoon eyes.

4. A nude eyeliner. By putting nude eyeliner on your water line, it immediately makes you look less tired and more refreshed. Now nobody has to know that you forgot it was a school night and that got caught up in the Netflix web...AGAIN!

5. Face Primer. As I said before school is SO LONG! The flawless self that you are in the morning
  
Is not going to be the same face after it's all said and done. A primer will fix that problem and make for a more lasting look. I personally like to use primers that have a pore minimizer in it because my pores are literally the size of the grand canyon!

6. A killer eyeliner. Eye shadow routines can take forever. If your in a pinch go for eyeliner instead. Once you get good at it, eyeliner can be a real life saver. Just make sure that you let it dry so you don't smudge it and ruin all your hard work.

My Plan
I start school in TWO DAYS!!! I'm super nervous but excited at the same time. Speaking of school, I thought I would just touch base with you all on what you can look forward to on my blog this school year and when I will be posting. I don't know all the specifics yet but I can tell you what my current plan.

I am hoping to post between 2-3 times a week. This might change but as far as I know, this is what I am hoping to accomplish! I'm looking forward to continue this journey with you all and I'm really hoping I can include more of my own photography soon. I'm also really looking forward to the fall season and sweater weather so be on the lookout for that!
