Hi, i’m Kristie. I am a wife, mother and beauty blogger. You can find me here at www.blushingbasics.com playing with makeup, providing tutorials and keeping you up to date with the latest tips, trends and techniques. My goal is to make makeup accessible and help you find your best self, with or without makeup.

A big thanks to TT&J for allowing me to guest post. Jen is an amazing blogger, business woman and creator of all things wonderful. What a great example to aspire to!

With Fall quickly approaching I put together this video tutorial showing you how to create the Un-Smoky Eye.

This look is seen on actresses, models and it girls everywhere. Get depth & drama without darkness and discover the perfect eye makeup for day, night and everything in between.

Products Used:

1. Shu Uemura Quad – any silver and deep purple color will do.
2. MAC Quad – look for a nude shimmer and a matte medium and dark brown.
3. Brushes – fluffy eye brush, pencil brush, contour brush. (a sponge applicator works great in place of the pencil brush)
4. Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler – curling lashes gives eyes a brighter, wider appearance.
5. Rimmel Black Eyeliner – $1.99, the best makeup investment ever.

Good luck with making this look your own.

My best advice: ‘If it makes you feel beautiful, you’re doing it right.’

 I love getting things in the mail!!

And the other day I received a box full of awesomeness — Makeup!!

Who doesn’t love makeup??

Revlon sent me a challenge. It’s part of their Revlon Expression Experiment. I was up to the task!!

I have been in a bit of a makeup rut the past few years. With blogging and running my 4 kids around I am lucky to get a shower in each day, let alone makeup. I hardly every wear makeup anymore (although I do have an obsession with lip gloss – can’t live without it).

Hannah and I had a great time experimenting with all of the fun Revlon products.

And Revlon’s Expression Experiment — Revlon is asking women to step our of our comfort zones and try something new. Check out what was in the box:

Wow – RED lipstick!! I took the challenge. And you know what?? I actually felt prettier and more confident with the lipstick.

I also fell in love with Revlon’s ColorStay Photo Ready makeup primer. It’s funny because I had just spent a bunch of money at Sephora last week on primer and I really like this primer more than those primers I bought. And I love that it’s 1/4 of the price. Plus, I tried eye primer. How did I ever live without this?? I love wearing it alone, but if you wear it under eye makeup, it really does make the eyeshadow stay on better and it doesn’t crease. I also was able to try Revlon’s Color Stay nail polish. They say it stays on for 11 days – I will keep you posted on the progress. I usually don’t wear any nail polish because my nails are usually full of paint and get trashed easily. So this will be interesting!! I even made a little funny video if you want to check it out:

Be sure to check out the Revlon Expression Experiment on Facebook. And take a challenge. This month it is the “Bright and Bold Eye Challenge”. You can get makeup tutorials, share your challenge results with everyone there and get inspired!!

I love the concept behind this challenge — encouraging women to express themselves in new, bold and beautiful ways.

It goes along with my goal in 2012 of stepping out of my comfort zone.

And this was a fun challenge to take!

Check out the Revlon Expression Experiment Facebook page and let me know which challenge you would like to take!
