Do you ever feel like Cinderella? Just so tired and over worked? You just want to get your makeup done, get that pretty dress and go to the ball and get wisked away by your Prince Charming? Really do something for yourself rather than for everyone else? Well sorry honey but we're 21st century women we don't need a man to make all our problems away we can do anything for ourselves and makeup is just one of those things. We've all had that really important social event going on and then you simply cannot get your makeup to look right. Even just a time that you want to be really "glam" so you can feel really good about yourself? I know I love the feeling of being all decked out so I'm going to show you more of an event or night out kinda look that all your friends will envy. The products that I'm going to use are top of the line products just to show you that not everything has to be budget friendly and sometimes you can treat yourself. Girl you know you...

Being On A Budget Doesn't Mean You Can't Be Beautiful

Your ability to create a look doesn't rely only on the price you pay for your products. Some looks can be created with the bare minimum and still look incredibly good. Whether you're going for classy or casual there are lots of good drugstore options available to create your ideal look. Some of my personal favorite brands you may have heard of, brand such as Maybelline, NYX, Colourpop, or Wet & Wild. All these brands offer great products for even greater prices, which is awesome especially if you're an incredibly broke college student who's has "more important" things to buy other than makeup.....yeah guilty as charged. This look was created with the idea of pop of copper and gold tones on the waterline to add some shimmer. Now I'm sure you want to know how to achieve a look like this, to start I'm going to tell you the products you need: Morphe 35N Color Matte Eyeshadow Palette, $23.00 Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Waterproof G...

Blending Away Your Life Savings

Within makeup there are a variety of different techniques that can be used, some for example are the blending of your eye shadows into a seamless array of colors. Another would be baking under your eyes and your contour, are you confused yet? There's so many different aspects to makeup so many tips and tricks to learn and you'd be surprised how much a person without experience is willing to pay someone else just to "look good".    Throughout my time experimenting in the makeup industry I have become one of the lucky few to have picked up on some of the trades that people develop to create what they believe is the best version of themselves. I have been offered anywhere from $25-$100 just to do a makeup look for someone just because I was "better at it" then the client believed they where. In a small town that may seem like a lot of money to be paying someone for you appearance while in larger cities and a more experienced person the price is ...

Why is there such a heavy weight for women to be involved in the beauty industry?

Image
 My name is Alexis Zanaglio and I am a self taught makeup enthusiast. I have an extensive collection of makeup both high end and drug store brands as well as experience in the art of doing others makeup for important events and things of the nature. I am interested in this topic because I feel like it's something that many people, mostly women, never truly talk about. They simply conform to societies ideals on the subject and move on. My goal in creating this blog is to share my experiences on why women feel as though makeup is a necessity along with my ideas as to why the beauty industry has grown into a multi-million dollar money maker over the past few year. I'd like to look further into the industry and explain my opinions on why women gravitate towards societies idea of beauty rather then their own and embracing what they have been given. I'll be touching on subjects throughout this blog that include...
