Snow Day!

Hello all of my dear friends! So, yes today is Friday, but there will be no Fabulous Fashion Friday today, because it is snowing like crazy and I am not gonna get out of my pjs! ;) Instead, I will be posting the "Fabulous Fashion Friday" on Sunday this week. But, to give you guys something to read today, I am posting a "how-to" that my friend Sara did on her nails! Something fun that you guys can try to do!

Here is a picture:


Here is how she did them:


Newspaper Nails
So to do these nails, first you need to prep your nails by using a nail scrubber to get all the dirt out of your nails and a nail file to get them the shape you need! If you don't have either of those 2 things it isn't super important. When your nails are ready take any color you want. Usually light colors work best. I used a Essie in Marshmallow. Then if its a light color put as many coats on it as you need so it isn't see threw. Then let your nails dry completely! Then when they are done drying, cut out 10 small squares of newspaper. Then take bottled water pour it into a cup and stick your nail in, and pull it straight out. Make sure your whole nail was in the water. Then right after you take it out, take one of your square pieces of newspaper and stick it on your nail the way you want. Then with your free fingers, press super hard trying not to move it. Press for about 10 seconds and then jest press around the corners. Then you think its done pull the newspaper off slowly. And after you get the look you want make sure and don't touch your nail for about 5-10 minutes. Because its water and not rubbing alcohol it will rub off super easy. Let it dry then after that you can slowly and gently put your top coat on! And you got Newspaper Nails! :) 



Hope you guys enjoyed and that you have some fun with this and it inspires you to do more cool things with your nails! Talk to you on Sunday! Blessings! xoxo

Sassy Classy School Girl - Look #2

Hello fellow Beauties!
I am excited to show you all the second "Sassy Classy School Girl" look, and I really hope that it inspires you and gives you ideas on how to enhance your natural beauty in only a few easy steps! So here are the pictures of this classy school girl look:





As you all can see, this is a very natural, subtle look, that you can use to make your best features pop! Make it you and make it beautiful!

Steps to getting this look:

*NOTE: When recreating this look, you can use whatever products and whatever shades you like to make it suit you best! These are just my general recommendations based on what I did to achieve this look.

1. (Optional: apply your primer and/or base.) First, take a light, skin-toned, brownish shade of eyeshadow, and apply it from the inner corner and cover the first 3/4 of the lid. Then take a deep brown eyeshadow and apply it from the outer corner and blend it in (on only about the outer 1/4). Make sure that you blend this really well, so that it just gives that dimension to the eye. The last step for the eyeshadow is add a pop of color in the crease! For this look specifically, I would choose a color that is the same color of your eyes, and a similar shade so that it makes your eyes pop, yet still looks very sweet and natural.

2. Liner and mascara! As you can see, the liner and mascara are fairly simple for this look. Put a thin line of black eyeliner (pencil, gel, liquid - whichever you prefer) right up against your lashes on you UPPER lid. If you want, you can apply a little bit of liner on the bottom lid, but not much! you don't want it to distract from the subtlety of the look. Next, take your mascara, curl your lashes if you have an eyelash curler, apply 1-2 coats of mascara. Make sure your mascara doesn't get clumpy, and that your lashes stay as separated as you can make them. Tip: you can use your finger to help with this ;) Don't apply any mascara on the bottom lashes.

3. Fill in and/or shape your eyebrows. This is important because it really does help frame your face, and add that polished, chic look and that helps complete the overall look. So, its worth it to makes sure to add this step to your routine in the morning! :)

4. Apply a very very lightly colored, natural blush - I recommend a light peachy or tannish shade. I actually personally didn't use blush, I only used my bonzer for this look. It has a very pretty tone to it with several different tan shades as well as some peach shades mixed in. It added that natural sculpt and color to my face. But you can use whatever your favorite blush or bronzer is that makes you look polished to perfection!

5. Gloss those lips girl! ESSENTIAL! Do NOT forget this step!! This will take any look to a whole different level. :)

Comment or email or message me with comments! I really hopes this helps expand what you think you can do with your makeup!! Thank you for all your support. Blessings beauties! Rock this look to your school or workplace and know that you look extra beautiful. :)) xoxo

Thinking of Spring :)

Ok, so this is a look that is chilling for the weekend! Kind of a casual look. More cozy winter-ish style, but hopes for spring....




Ok, so this fashion friday, is a cool colored, cute, solid short sleeve shirt, and deep washed skinny jeans, and some simple tennis shoes. To give it more personality, spice it up by adding a fun scarf. This will be instead of the necklace, because its big enough to be one of the main focuses of the outfit. Next, continue accessorizing with some bracelets, and rings, and a watch or whatever you can use to make the outfit scream YOU!
On to the makeup...



I just put together some "cool" colored eyeshadows (teal, greens), and added some black liner, and mascara on my eyes, and threw on some blush and lip gloss and was ready to go! I hope this inspires you all to have some more fun playing with your outfits and makeup... Talk to you soon my Beauties!! xoxo:)

Sassy Classy School Girl - Look #1

Hello all my beautiful friends!
So! I have gotten a request from several people to start a series that has tips, tutorials and ideas, for simple, pretty and easy-to-do makeup looks that anyone can do! This is the first post of the series, tell me what you think!

Ok, so this is the look!






Tips/keys on how to get this look 5 EASY STEPS:

1. I only used ONE eyeshadow color for this look. (WHAT?! Ya, I know. Hahaha.) So! First step: choose a color that you like that contrasts with your eyes. (Blue: gray/brown; Brown: pink/green, Green: purples.) I would recommend applying a primer and/or a base before you put on your eyeshadow, it helps it stick better and last longer and have a brighter pigmentation! Second, since we are only using one color, I would recommend using a color with multiple shades inside that one eyeshadow. For example, this is what I used:


Hopefully you can see in the picture, there are many different tones and shades of purple in this eyeshadow. Which definitely helps add dimension even though you are only using one shadow.
I know that Ulta carries this brand, Maybelline has something similar, and so does MAC. So, there
are many different options, so go get you some!! It is a VERY good thing to add to your makeup!

2. Next, line your upper and lower lid with a black liner (with pencil or gel or liquid - whichever you prefer). Curl lashes (optional, but recommended). Apply your favorite mascara:)

3. Fill in eyebrows, make them look full! This helps frame the face, and accentuate your eyes. This step is optional, but highly recommended if you have an extra two minutes before you walk out the door!

4. Add some color to that face! This just adds so much to the overall look. Throw on some blush or bronzer  (whichever you prefer) or both! It makes you appear more awake and youthful and definitely gives you more of a glow, so don't forget to put on some blush.

5. The last and most important step... GLOSS! Do NOT leave your house without gloss on your lips and in your pocket or in your purse. This pulls the whole look together and polishes everything up! And it adds a LOT! So when you are on your way to school or work, make sure to bring lip gloss, it will just add that "something" and enhance the natural beauty of your face! :)

You are a royal beauty! So take time to enhance your natural beauty and make you feel even just a little bit better about yourself and more confident because you feel more beautiful. I hope that this gave you some tips and ideas on how to put a simple, easy look together! More on the way! I love you all!! Blessings beauties:) xoxo

Ocean Blues

Hello all! So a friend of mine requested that I come up with a look that is based off of this picture:


And much delayed, this is what I came up with!!:)





Basically, you can do this kind of look with any color you like. You start off with putting a lighter color in the middle of each lid. And then put a darker shade of that same color on the rest of the lid - each side of the lighter color. And blend it together. And then add a little bit of black on the edge of the inner corner as well as the very outer corner. BLEND! And that is it! I hope you like it! If you would like to see a look based off of a picture that you find that you like... email me! royalbeautymakeup3@gmail.com. Rock on Royal Beauties!!
