adele-tickets-and-tour-dates-schedule

say hello to my idol, my favorite, my #1. since the moment she came on the scene i have been a proud fangirl, and throughout the years this hasn’t changed. if anything my love has only grown, and after seeing her live at madison square garden, my dreams have come true. i laughed, i cried, i dance, i sang (not necessarily in that order) and fangirled way too hard. let’s be honest though, you would do the same.

now it’s time to discuss her makeup, because i think we all can agree it is perfect. it’s not too much, but just enough, and it’s an easy go-to look. the first step in achieving her look is keeping your skin fresh with your regular face routine, minus the bronzer and highlighter. instead go for a matte contour shade and give your cheekbones some definition. we all know the focus of her look is the eyes (as it always is with adele). all you need is some neutral shadow to give your eyes some depth and a heavy flick of eyeliner, and you’re good to go. top it off with a few heavy swipes of mascara, or falsies if you’re in the mood, and you have mastered the adele look. all you need to complete this look is a rosy nude lip. if you don’t want to break the bank try out this little guy from maybelline. and if you’re willing to spend a bit more, try out this shade from nars.  i know i make it sound super simple, so if more detail is needed i would check out this video. if you’re feeling extra creative (and since halloween is right around the corner), throw on a black dress, grab a fake mic, fashion yourself a grammy or two, and embrace your inner adele for a costume this year.

guys, before i get into this, we need to talk about the mets really quickly. growing up going to shea stadium to watch mike piazza play is something that has been ingrained in my memory. when you’re a mets fan, you’re a fan through thick and thin, as many mets fans know. so to be able to watch the mets sweep the nlcs last night, become national league champions, and go on to the world series was one of the most exciting feelings ever. my face may have hurt a little bit from smiling so much. now the world series is here baby, and as all mets fans know, “you gotta believe.”

baseball talk aside, here are a few links i’m loving (of course the mets are included):

kerr-bloom-ferguson-w724so realistically speaking, i should be commenting on the best dresses at the oscars, which there were many of. instead i chose to do something different, which is something i always seem to be doing.. sorry, can’t help it! you know how different writers and artists have muses? well maybe in some weird alternative universe i could be robert frost’s muse, because that whole “i took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference” has meg written all over it. now these less traveled roads are not always the best of ideas, but it’s worth it to say you at least tried. okay, back to business, sorry for tangent-ing, per usual. my favorite dresses from oscar’s night actually showed up at the vanity fair after party, and i basically would have loved to attend, but i guess my invite got lost in the mail. it’s all good though, because next year i’ll so be ready, rocking a unique dress, making robert proud. article-0-18449A7E000005DC-206_634x859oscars-afterparty-dresses-lily-collins-h724oscars-afterparty-dresses-amy-adams-h724oscars-afterparty-dresses-solange-h724

adele, beauty, mac cosmetics, makeup, tutorial, urban decay

So tonight after getting back from work and relaxing a bit I cranked up some Adele tunes and set out on doing a tutorial. I was inspired by the photos of Adele for her North American Tour Promo and using the Naked 2 palette I tried to copy her look.. It turned out great and I totally loved it, but my camera didn’t. It literally refused to take one good picture, not one. So I’m going to explain the process in detail and try to salvage some pictures…

Products Used

-Urban Decay Naked2 Palette: Foxy {first shade}, Bootycall {third shade}, Tease {fifth shade}, Pistol {eighth shade}

-MAC Espresso {matte chocolate}

-Sephora liquid liner in Black

-Maybelline The Falsies in Black Drama

-Tarte Matte Lip Surgence in Overexposed

-MAC lipstick in Blankety

1. Begin with your regular foundation routine. Slightly contour your cheekbones with a bit of bronzer, using the picture of Adele above for reference.

2. I skipped primer for this tutorial, but if you would like you can add this step in. Begin by applying Foxy all over your lid and up into the crease. Next apply Bootycall in your inner corner and middle of your lid.

3. Using a crease brush blend Tease into your crease, making it appear distinct and not too blended so there’s still that “mod” feel. Next use Espresso and line the crease using an eyeliner brush, following the line of the socket. Do this lightly and blend afterwards with a smudge brush. Lining this area gives it more definition and a distinct crease is a huge part of Adele’s makeup routine.

4. Blend Pistol into the outer half of your lid. Re-apply a tiny bit of Tease in the outer corner area.

5. Line your upper lashline with the liquid liner, looking down into a mirror, and winging out at the end. This is tricky to do, but with practice it becomes easier!

6. Smudge Espresso all along your lower lashline. Use a fluffy brush and apply a mixture of Foxy and Bootycall on your brow bone.

7. Finish off with loads of mascara and you’re done with eyes! Brush away any fall out with some loose powder.  If you want add false lashes, which Adele is known to wear.

The colors are a lot more pigmented in person, but you can get a general idea of the makeup in this picture! (excuse the camera, i’m saving for a new one!)

For the lips apply the Tarte lip stain and follow up with the lipstick on top. Keep it neutral and leave the attention on the eyes by avoiding gloss.

For hair go for big volume and if you can work that bump then go for it! I happen to have very thick, voluminous hair, basically a mane, but I wanted it to look done, so I blew out my hair and added some waves with a curling iron a few days ago and let it settle until it got a bit messy.

I’m going to try to fit in two New Year’s tutorials tomorrow! If you have any requests just comment below…
