Video Tutorials: Blending

15 February 201527 March 2016 ~ bekaneggs

Ah yes, the elusive art of properly blended eyeshadow. Definitely an acquired skill and one I haven’t quite yet mastered, but these beautiful ladies (and dude) have been a great help in the learning process.

Today was a very long day and I am a very sleep-deprived sensitive snowflake, but it was the only day @justinrakowskitattoo and I both had available and work needed to be done. Thank you x 574439 to Justin for putting up with my whiny, jetlagged, post-flight self on your last day before vacation and giving me an awesome piece many years in the making. . . . #tattoo #freshink #girlswithtattoos #inkedphilly #phillytattoo #phillyink #philly #homesweethome #215 #paintedlady #illadelph #amptattoo #artmachine #harrypotter #hogwarts #magic #harrypottertattoo #harrypotterink #inked #ink #liquidluck #felixfelicis #hp #jkrowling #ronaldweasley @amp_tattoo

(yesterday) . Lil haircut refresh from my fave @exaggeratinglifesbeautybyem before Philly next week. Also paired two bright faves on my eyeballs today: @sugarpill Fun Size + @hudabeautyshop Neon Orange, plus 💋 @lauramercier Queen. . I'm still really enjoying my two concealer + primer combo for my base and really like how my skin looks even after wearing it all day (I did need to blot before the end of the workday yesterday, but it was over 90* and it is warm AF in my office). Also loving the @kajabeauty stampy cushion blush + @colourpopcosmetics highlight. @toofaced Damn Girl mascara has 100% taken over, and the @urbandecaycosmetics brow blade / @limecrimemakeup tinted gel combo is unbeatable for my recently @urbanwaxx waxed and tinted caterpillars 👌🏻 . . . #latergram #thursday #friday #tgif #yesterday #makeup #makeupoftheday #fotd #motd #neon #sugarpill #hudabeauty #toofaced #lauramercier #lipstick #eyeshadow #eyes #girlswithglasses #girlswithtattoos #makeuptutorial #selfie #igers #undercut #undercutgirls #nofilter

Maybe you can't tell the specifics from this photo, but these two new pieces of art are probably some of the coolest shit we own. If you know me in real life, you probably know I've been a shitty little punk kid since I was a teenager and spent most of that time and my early 20s without having music in common with most of the people around me. When Nick and I met and we had movies in common...and TV shows...and then, finally, MUSIC - to be honest I still get a little choked up about it. Where I brought Bad Religion and The Offspring, Nick brought The Menzingers and Iron Chic, we met in the middle on Alkaline Trio and Murder by Death, and together we've spent most of the last eight years geeking out over old records and new releases and going to shows on both coasts. These two amazing prints from @crookedvillainchris are album comics with each panel representing a song from two of our favorites, one old and one new, and look absolutely perfect on the other side of our existing wall o' nerdy music things. Can't wait for a million more adventures with you @thevacirca 🎵 . . . @themenzingers @badreligionband @offspring @alkaline_trio @murderbydeath @ironchic #music #punk #punkrock #poppunk #love #musiclover #musicislife #boyfriend #girlfriend #bestfriend #longdistancerelationship #philly #philadelphia #portland #pdx #concert #adventure #next #nerd #themenzingers #alkalinetrio

My reading lately has been slower than I'd like, mostly due to anxiety and stress and not enough sleep, but I finally finished Geekerella last night. The story that was written was not consistently the story I was hoping to read, but it was a really cute retelling of a classic tale in a nerdy fandom world where I also found real-life friendship and love. There were times where I just wanted this story to focus more on the female friendships and [many] others when I really just wanted someone to scream at / stand up to the evil stepfamily, but ultimately it was enjoyable and fun and it really did bring me a lot of joy to catch so many little fandom easter eggs of shows, books, and movies that once made me feel like I belong somewhere too. . "Were those the new batch of chimichangas? Or were they chimichangas from last week?” She heaves a big shrug. “Who’s to say? Wibbly wobbly timey space stuff.”" .

Sometimes you look real cute and take 100 pictures and then only one looks good. Oh well. At least the one looks good because I wanted to talk about my skin today, or rather makeup for skin. You all know I still love my painfully bright eyeshadows and lipsticks so I'm not going to waste time there, I want to talk about dat base. . I stopped wearing liquid foundation about a year ago and while sometimes I think I'll try it again, I'm pretty pleased without it. Typically I just wear concealer, but the sun here is strong and it doesn't always look great by the end of the day. I've been gradually moving towards more liquid and cream products in general, but I am really pleased with today's combo so I'm gonna share it all. The real winner here though is my primer + concealer combo that I mixed together on the back of my hand before applying. It really minimized any caking throughout the day and while I almost always feel the need to blot by 3pm, my skin still looked even and smooth. Ladies, gentledudes, nonbinary members of royalty, and anybody else reading this: I think we have a winner. So what's on my face? . Moisturizer: @herbivorebotanicals Pink Cloud . Concealer Combo: @beccacosmetics First Light Priming Filter + @toofaced Born This Way sculpting concealer in Porcelain + @coverfx Power Play concealer in P Medium 1 . Blush: @kajabeauty Cheeky Stamp blendable blush in Fiesty . Highlight: @colourpopcosmetics Monster . Setting powder: @maccosmetics Mineralize Skinfinish in Light - only applied under eyes and around nose . Bronzer: @hourglasscosmetics Diffused Bronze Light . Brows: @urbandecaycosmetics Brow Blade in Dark Drapes + @limecrimemakeup clear brow gel . Eyeshadow: Player One from @sugarpill Fun Size palette + @colourpopcosmetics Piggy Bank pencil liner in waterline . Mascara: @marcjacobsbeauty Velvet Noir . Lips: @lauramercier Queen 💋 . Earring + necklace: @regalrose . . #skin #freshmakeup #hair #hairstyle #spacebuns #undercut #undercutgirls #jewelry #lipstick #selfie #urbandecay #mattelipstick #makeupnerd #pinklipstick #makeupaddict #makeupoftheday #motd #fotd #latergram #highlight #glow #girlswithglasses #wednesday #makeup #regalrose #myregalrose

Whole30, we need to talk. It's not you, it's me. I just need some space. I don't think this is working. I think we should break up. . . With the help of many rounds of Whole30 over the last three years, I truly learned how to eat for my health. I now know that I'm allergic to soy, I'm definitely lactose intolerant, and that with my muscle disease, I really need to be mindful of how much sugar/carbs I'm consuming (so real bread and all its cousins are pretty rare in my diet). All that learned, now I really need to lose some weight, but eating Whole30 is definitely not the way to do that. . I already have so many food restrictions because of real medical issues, cutting out chickpeas - which I fucking LOVE - just because they're not Whole30? That's just starting to piss me off, and wreak havoc on my brain. For the last year or so, every time I've tried to do another round or reset of the Whole30 approach, my brain just loses it. Like, bitch can u not? Can you just eat normally and move more? Took some time for me to believe that yep, I can actually do that and no, some dessert on the weekend is not going to stop me from meeting any of my health or fitness goals. . All this to say, I don't care what you want to call it. I'm tired of how I eat having a name. I learned all the things I could from Whole30, and I'm moving on. I just want to eat stuff that makes me feel good and not restrict anything that I don't actually need to. So yea, there's a lot of chickpeas in today's curry. Zoodles and mushrooms too. . . #whole30 #whole30alumni #peaceout #breakup #food #foodporn #igfood #foodie #foodblogger #paleo #dairyfree #curry #thaifood #chickpeas #health #chronicillness #life #selfcare #weightloss #justeatrealfood #iifym #intuitiveeating #jerf #cleaneating
