Update on Life - November
Sorry about the lack of well... everything lately. I've been really busy with school and trying to get in touch with a bunch of people as well so I've been really busy. I have filmed a few videos as well. They are up on my youtube channel (kellysbeautychannel). If you want to take a look at them they are all up there. Also if you have any requests on videos let me know. I want to make videos and blogs on things you want to know about.

Check out my second blog!
For those of you who love food as much as I do and love trying out new recipes, I created a new blog, where I post reviews of different foods I've tried, and also recipes of my favourite meals, desserts, snacks, etc and new ones I find intriguing. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I enjoy posting stuff on there. Here's the link http://kellysfoodiereview.blogspot.com/
Now the fact that I have that blog doesn't mean I won't have this one anymore. I will still pay as much attention here as I do my food blog. I just figured this wasn't the place to post food reviews and recipes.
Talk to you soon! My August favourites will be up tomorrow!

Series: Back to School Makeup Tutorials
Hey there everyone!
So I decided to do a back to school series. I know a lot of people are just doing one look for tutorials. I thought this was cool, but then thought wait a minute not every age range should be wearing the same types of makeup. After thinking this I decided to take my back to school video tutorial one step further and turn it into a series.
I find a lot of gurus just do what they would think is great for themselves when they do videos like this. I was looking at it from a different point of view, especially when meeting a few grade 6s who were the children of my parents' friends. These girls had heavy makeup on. I was shocked. I couldn't understand why they would have their makeup like that, let alone why their parents would allow that. Now I do understand parents are all different. I for one will probably let my 12 year old start experimenting with makeup, but I will be there to help her with it (provided I have a girl when the time comes). This made me look back to how I did my makeup in middleschool and highschool and made me realize that I didn't know all that much and never really learned techniques to use. I only saw pictures and I thought I was recreating them.
This series is to teach decent technique to different age ranges so they can still experiment, but at least know a certain technique that will help them out a bit better. I will be doing a video for grades 5&6 (ages 10-12), 7&8, (12-14), grades 9-12 (14-18) and college/university (18+)
Grades 5&6
For this video I'm mostly focusing on light colours that accentuate, but still look natural. No lipstick, foundation or eyeliner will be used as they create too hard of looks for such young and delicate soft skin.
Grades 7&8
For this video I'm using a simple simple light neutral with a very pale pop of colour. There is a powder foundation, and a thin thin line of eyeliner.
High School
There will be two looks created for these grades. The first is a neutral look using the Urban Decay Deluxe Palette. It will be a pretty simple neutral just using browns and golds. The next look will be a more colourful look, still using the same palette. Both looks will have an eyeliner look, however each look will change for eyeliner.
College/University
This has 3 videos. The first will be a business appropriate look, good for presentations. The second will be a going to class look, and the third will be a good look for going for coffee and hanging out with friends on campus.
Extras.
I am going to do 3 extra videos.

Waterproof Makeup
The Basics of making your makeup waterproof and sweatproof is finding the right products. What I suggest doing is using cream products more than anything and then setting them with a podwer over top. The cream products tend to stick a lot better, they sink more into your skin so you get more of a glow. For Mascaras and Eyeliners you really just have to test which products work the best with your skin type to get a good hold and won't run. For me the best ones I've tried so far are from Maybelline. They don't run much for me.
My last tip for swimming with makeup. DON'T RUB YOUR EYES!!!!!!! If you rub your eyes when getting out of the water, something will smudge and run, what you want to do is bring an extra little towel and dab at your eyes and face.
Also, think about what you're doing. You don't need to wear makeup to swim, you don't need it to go to the beach. So if it's a party where there may be swimming, but you aren't sure, this is a good idea.
