As you know I’m going to be a black cat for Halloween. I’m contemplating if I should do my own makeup this year or go to the makeup counter (I love getting my makeup done). While looking around youtube I found a great video how to do your own cat makeup for Halloween. This has left me thinking I should do my own makeup for Halloween. Check out the video. Now all I need is the right purse and maybe a kitty collar more on Halloween accessories later.

Have you ever gone to a nightclub and seen women who have a beautiful golden skin and wonder how did they do that? I’m here to tell you its all about the bronzer you use and where you place it on your skin. I recently went to my local M.A.C counter and picked up mineralize skin finish in “gold deposit” it’s not cheap but worth every penny of $27.00. I used to use M.A.C’s sheertone shimmer blush in “trace gold” it was great when I first brought it 2 years ago but I wanted more shimmer and it did not give me the right amount of the golden kissed skin I wanted. I’m the type of person who likes to go out with my girlfriends and take a lot of pictures through out the night and the gold deposit illuminates my face. The trick is to place the gold deposit down the bridge of your nose, on your cheeks (under your blush),chin and a bit on your forehead.

You have heard of the trick (everywhere the sun hits your face). Be careful because it’s very easy to over do it so start off with a little then layer if needed. It looks great on olive all the way to deep dark skin tones. Another tip if your collarbones are showing in your top at night apply a bit of gold deposit on to them its creates a fabulous glow.
