Inspired by Adele Makeup tutorial

 I love doing Makeup, and I love watching Makeup tutorials on Youtube. but I am not a huge youtuber so I'd rather take step by step pictures of the process...and as you can tell I do not have as much makeup on as Adele, but it is inspired by her retro style.

 Start with a clean slate: foundation, blush, highlighter and bronzer all in place

 #1. shimmer up that lid
#2. line your crease with a light brown to set way for the black
#3. Wet a flat-head brush and then add black shadow, this will give a more defined look. It may look funny and uneven, dont worry though, more blending to come.

 #4. with a lid applicator, fill in wings and blend in the crease a bit

#5. Liner and mascara. great retro look for any occasion. I tone the entire process down a bit if I feel like wearing it just for the day, which currently I am doing alot.

Boring desk to Makeup Station

 Okay, so I have a bit of a bad habbit. I get too excited about a project I am working on, and always forget to take a before picture. I did however find a desk online that was the same color as the before and overall looked semi-similar, I suppose you can use your imagination :)

 Since this is a Makeup station makeover, I needed sweet containers to just tie the whole look together, I've had the bamboo containers since I was in High School, and I purchased the silver and glass ones at Goodwill for .99 cents each!

 I then organized all my makeup accordingly; face, lips, eyes, ect....

 A couple of HUGE DIY tips; clean the surface of whatever you are painting first. Be sure there is absolutely no Dirt anywhere...Oh...ITS IMPORTANT! Secondly, use KILZ spray paint primer, its AMAZING, I have tried other primers before and they just suck. Then coat color of choice over primer..let it dry between coats...and ... test your spray skills on a peice of cardboard. too close, and it drips...too far and you are wasting half your paint.

 I replaced all the hardware for just $5.00! don't rush into a purchase and spend too much..i got lucky and found these on sale at Lowes :)

 Here is my first drawer, I organized it by the first step in the Makeup process; Concealer, Foundation, blush, bronzer, and Highlighter. simple as that. (also i lined my drawers with random cute paper I had lying around).

 Second drawer consists of eye stuff, and a map of Mother RUSSIA :)

 final drawer consists of all my shadow pallets and eye stuff brushes. :)

THats the finished product! if you are wondering where my mirror is...currently I have a huge mirror that serves dual purposes..and its a safety hazard to leave it up...but perhaps soon I will find one at Goodwill or something. :)
