Once a week this blog will feature a new tip to apply to your life to help you be a better Barbie Girl! This week’s Be a Barbie Girl Tip is Easy Eye shadow Application!

This is how I do my everyday look.

Color 1 : darkest shadow (4 shades darker than skin color)

Color 2 : shimmery neutral tone eye shadow

Color 3 : lightest eye shadow (2-3 shades lighter than skin color)

Base : Helps eye shadow stay in place longer 

Finishing touches: Liner, Mascara, Lashes 

Apply the darkest eye shadow of the group to in a rainbow shape above the eyelid in the area called your crease. If you feel your eye socket bone beneath the skin you're in the right spot.

Apply the 2nd shimmery eye shadow to your eyelid and blend it slightly with the color above it.

Apply the 3rd lightest eye shadow near your tear duct and below your eyebrow and blend it until you're happy (some people like it almost stark white and others don't)

Apply your eyeliner, false lashes, and mascara

Before any of these steps make sure you apply your base primer! Which you can purchase from urban decay (click here) or use a normal neutral cream eye shadow for the same purpose from E.L.F. (click here).

If you're not doing a natural color make your boldest or brightest color the crease.

Every Monday this blog will feature a new tip to apply to your life to help you be a better Barbie Girl! This week’s Be a Barbie Girl Tip is Make Up that lasts forever ever!

If you're in school, work a full time job, always busy or a party barbie you know the pain of make up that doesn't last.

You apply a full face and look like a perfect 10 and then you catch a glimpse of your face half way through the day and see faded lip color, chunky lashes with mascara dots on your lids, creased eye shadow, melted face make up- You catch my drift, you look a hot mess! Here are a few tips I've used to keep my make up in place all day/night long.

Lips -

Line your lips and fill them in with your lip liner before applying lipstick or gloss

When wearing lipstick; apply, blot, dust your lips with baby powder/face powder and apply a second coat of lipstick

Use a lip scrub; make up won't last as long on peeling lips

Use these layers in this order to achieve a long lasting lip; Liner, lipstick, gloss 

Eyes -

Remove all of you eye make up before adding more on, your lashes won't look as long they'll look chunk and gross

Apply mascara to tips, let it dry, then apply at the base wiggling left and right with the wand

Waterproof is your friend; the mascara/liner won't leave dots and smear and smudge like other formulas

Apply a thin layer of cream eye shadow in a like shade/color before apply powder shadow for long lasting color that won't crease

Face

WASH YOUR FACE - Paint looks better on a clean canvas instead of a dirty one. Wash it off every single night before bed

Less is more when it comes to foundation, you only need to wear enough to cover flaws and even skin 

Blend Blend Blend - Blush and bronzers fade because they're layers sitting on top of your other make up, the closer it is to bare skin the better chance it has to last

Translucent Powder - This can be substituted for baby powder or even hair spray, this act like a seal to hold all your make up in place. It's a fine silky powder that goes over make up and keeps it in place without causing any color change.

For all of my female Barbies a few of you wanted me to write my tips on how to be a Barbie when you’re on your period, which let’s be honest is no easy task. Men who follow my blog for looking at pretty girls avert your eyes kthanxxx

I'm on my period now and honey

I get cramps,

I'm nauseated,

I'm exhausted,

I’m starving,

I’m bloated,

I have killer headaches and

I have intense mood swings 

As much as I love my hair, make up, nails, heels, clothes, etc. When I’m on my cycle all I want to do is sleep for as long as possible and looking like a Barbie is at the bottom of my list of things to be concerned about. So I try to make it as easy as possible to be comfy and cute here’s a list of things I do that help me out!

Pick a product that you love and have it stocked up – I hate pads so I make sure I have an assortment of cute tampons and pantie liners from U by kotex ready to go for aunt flow.

Plan ahead for pain – I know I get headaches, cramps, and nausea so I had my doctor write prescriptions for things to counter this so I’m not in horrible pain. Why hurt if you don’t have to?

Be comfy AND cute – Bordello pumps and LA Idol jeans with a corset may be cute during the rest of the month but I’m not wearing a bimbo barbie outfit like that on my cycle. 

G string turns into boyshorts

Skin tight skinny jeans turn into Juicy sweats/leggings

Corsets turn into lace tank tops

Heels turn into flip flops or uggs

Extreme push up bras with boobie tricks turn into a normal push up bra

You get the picture right? 

I know being the stunning done up barbie you always are is 5 times as hard when it's your time of the month so don't push yourself as hard as you normally do! Skip the gym for a few days! Get a treat with your drink at Starbucks! Get a mani pedi! Tell someone to fuck off!

Every Monday this blog will feature a new tip to apply to your life to help you be a better Barbie Girl! This week’s Be a Barbie Girl Tip is DO NOT let bitches get the best of you!

Since I was in middle school there were always girls who seemed to have it out for me and it's only gotten worse the older I got. No matter how nice I was to these girl they hated me for the most ridiculous reasons;

I was too tall,

I was too fat,

I was too skinny,

I was too promiscuous,

I was too flirty,

I was too pretty,

I was too popular, 

I was too outspoken, 

I was too bitchy,

I was too sweet,

I was too girly,

I was too friendly,

I was too curvy, 

I was too wealthy,

Point being they would ALWAYS find SOMETHING to not like me for whether it was something in my control or not. I remember crying to my mom about a girl not inviting me to her party but she invited all of my friends and my boyfriend. I had changed everything about myself to please this girl and she STILL hated me and I was miserable not being myself.

When I finally stopped crying my mother looked me in the eyes and said, "Being a beautiful girl will always be a curse and a blessing. There are people in this world who are going to hate you for no reason, but there are people in this world who will love you for everything you are. You have to choose which group of people you will let effect your life."

...

I admit this didn't instantly switch on some light bulb and make everything in the world pretty and perfect, but it did make things a little easier to deal with each time I encountered a hater.

Point being you can't give in to your haters, DO NOT give them the satisfaction of being hurt by their opinion. If someone has a problem with you that is none of your business because that is THEIR problem.

Every Monday this blog will feature a new tip to apply to your life to help you be a better Barbie Girl! This week’s Be a Barbie Girl Tip is to REMOVE make up!

Some of you might think I'm crazy telling you to remove the make up instead of instructing you on how to put it on, but no it's not opposite day and make up removal is EXTREMELY important. When you sleep with your make up on you're not only ruining your pillows and sheet, but you're also ruining your skin. You collect dirt and dust and germs throughout the day that collect on top of your make up. Sleeping in make up doesn't give your skin a chance to rest and relax which speeds up the aging process, and who wants to look gross and old faster than they need to? Feel free to use these tips to help you remove your make up with ease!

- Don't wait until the last minute to remove your make up; a lot of girls wait until right before bed to break out the make up remover, and they dread it. If it's 7:30 pm and you know you aren't leaving the house, go take off your make up and relax for the night.

- Soak don't Scrub! : When it comes to waterproof mascara don't lose lashes trying to scrub off product. Put a few drops of make up remover on cotton balls and let them rest on closed lids to breakdown the eye make up. After a maximum of 2 minutes the mascara, eyeliner, and eye shadow should slide off with ease.

- Don't shell out big bucks for products if you don't have to: I'll pay $50 for foundation, $30 for mascara, and $20 for lipstick because people see it. But I have no problem using baby oil on cotton balls as eye make up remover and cetaphil for removing the rest of my make up and they last a YEAR and don't cost more than a tube of lipstick.

- Bed-side baby wipes: The LAST thing you want to do after a long night at the club is go to the bathroom to remove clubbing make up, especially if you've got the spins from a few too many cocktails. I get it, I've been there. That's exactly why I keep $1 baby wipes in my nightstand drawer, you don't have to take off ALL the make up but removing the eye shadow and the foundation will be the difference between a big pimple and clear skin.

- Don't forget to moisturize! : If you finish removing you make up and your face feels tight, it's your skin's way of reminding you it needs moisturizer. DO NOT USE BODY LOTION. Sephora offers a product finder on their website to fit any budget and skin type! Click Here to try it out!
