Not to be confused with the Brit Awards in the UK.
These are a few of my 2014 beauty favorites in award show format.
You can watch the video and see my sad attempt to impersonate Joan Rivers interviewing cosmetics on the Red Towel (oh yeah, I've thought it through) here:
Just a quick little update: I finally got my Pretty Little Liars Video to upload to YouTube!
It's my first video. Learning to edit is a work in progress but there is more to come!
Check it out and subscribe if you're interested :)
Thanks!

Starting with Steel from MAC I blended this onto the lid and slightly into the crease.
Next taking the black pencil I traced my upper and lower lash lines (inner and outer).
Don't worry about being too neat because next we take the black shadow and smudge it over the liner.
Since Lucy's (Aria's) eyes are quite round in the opening scene, and mine are not, I took the black all around the eye. Take it through the crease and concentrate the black under the eye but thinning it out as you reach the tear duct.
She also has a cute round face. My shape is more oval, so I was aiming for the opposite of contouring.
I didn't want to slim my cheeks, I wanted them fuller.
So I took the contour color a bit further down than the cheek bone and applied in sort of a "C" shape.
Then I blended it in and applied blush above it with a fluffy brush.
Finishing up with the white pigment in the inner corners and brow bones.
Apply the lashes and finish with lipgloss.
That's my Pretty Little Liars opening theme look.
I recorded a video of myself creating the look and will share it on YouTube once I'm done editing.
Thanks for reading,
Kisses,

The liquid liner, lip color and highlighter came in my November Ipsy bag!
For the shadow I used my Ulta quad (also available in singles)
Icelandic (shimmery white) on the brow bone.
A mixture of Twilight (smokey purple-gray) and Lock & Key (matte gray-brown) on the lids.
And After Hours (shimmery burgundy) across the crease and outer V.
(Forgive the tired look, it was a long weekend!)
Love the You're So FINE liquid liner from Elizabeth Mott in Glitterati! The tip is so thin, it's easy to get the desired effect.
L.A. Colors Chunky Lip Pencil in Wine is my new favorite lip color! It goes on soft and smooth like a lipstick but it dries matte like a stain. Lasts for hours and has a slight scent of vanilla.
Temptu Pro S/B highlighter in Pink Pearl is difficult to make show up on my skin in pictures because, as with any highlighter, you don't want it to shine at all times, just when the light hits it right for a subtle glow.
I think this brand is ideally meant to be used with an airbrush, but I just used my ring finger to apply it to my cheek bones. Worked brilliantly!
I finished it all off with my Calvin Klein ck One Mascara in True Black.
