MAKEOVER MONDAY 12/3/12: Yellow Melon

Hey guys! So this is my 5th Makeover Monday! AHHH! LOL ok let me stop! But I am really feeling this! lol. This young lady here is Ramesha...doesn't she resemble Kelly Rowland??? A lot of people say I resemble Kelly Rowland...but she hands down look like her! Again...here I go playing around with color...but then again what fun is makeup without using color? Neutral/natural is boring...at least to me it is! And I love it when my clients let me go crazy with color! Enjoy!

MAKEOVER MONDAY 11/26/12: Tropic Thunder

It's time for another Makeover Monday!!! This is my friend Justine....once again...you've seen her in my previous tutorials. I love doing her makeup...she has gorgeous skin!!! I wanted to play around with some color (what's new!) and I thought pinks, purples, and blues would make a great combo! So I hope you guys like this!

MAKEOVER MONDAY 11/19/12: Poison Purple

Hope you're all doing well!! It's my 3rd Makeover Monday...do you guys like this mini series I have going on? LOL I really like it! Sooooo....this is my friend Gloria...you've seen her in some of my previous tutorials. She has amazing green eyes, so I really wanted to play those up and draw as much attention to her eyes as possible. And if we know our color theory, we know that green and purple compliment each other! And it looks great on her. It's not the neatest work I've done...but I'm getting better as I keep doing it. Enjoy!

MAKEOVER MONDAYS 11/12/12: Monochromatic Blues

Hey!! So for this weeks Makeover Monday, I have my cousin Samenda. You've all seen her in some of my previous videos. She doesn't mind out of the ordinary makeup, so I thought blue eyes, blue lips...why not? It's not my best work...attempted to do a cut crease, but that was an EPIC FAIL! But I still wanted to share it with you guys...the good and the bad!

MAKEOVER MONDAYS 11/5/12: Black & Purple Smokey Eyes

Hey guys! Long time no see! Hope you're all doing well. So I decided that I wanted to start a new series on my YouTube channel called Makeover Mondays. So every Monday, I am going to post a new video on a makeover I did...there may be some repeat models...but definitely going to do different looks. I am excited about this and I hope you guys are too. I know I'm late on posting this one but...better late than never.

This is my cousin Loundy. She always wanted me to do an all black smokey eye on her...but I always want to play with color on her because I just love her eye shape...tons of room to be creative on! So I threw in some purple in there so we're both happy! Both she and I loved it!

Black & Gold Smokey Eyes with a Twist!

Hey Guys!!

I'm sure you guys know I love smokey eyes!!! Especially a really dark smoke that's brought down really far!! So I decided to do a black & gold smokey eye with a twist...instead of using a black eye shadow all along my lower lash line....I pop a gold eye shadow in the center...to give the eyes an illusional effect if you must! I really liked this one....and I hope you guys do too!! Enjoy!

Ayiti Cheri Haitian Flag Inspired

Hey Guys! If some of you didn't already know, I am a proud Haitian...100%!! For some reason, people are shocked when I tell them I'm Haitian lol. They're like "You don't look Haitian! I would've never guessed it!"....ummm OK!!!

So every Labor Day weekend here in NY, there's a parade on Eastern Parkway. I had intentions of going this year since I've never been to one, but something came up and I wasn't able to go :-(. So I decided to film a tutorial inspired by the Haitian flag. Yes I know I took forever to upload it, but I've been very the past couple of weeks! But here it is! I hope you guys like it! Enjoy.

Golden Beach Sunset Bridal Look

Hey guys! So I did this makeup look on my cousin Loundy not realizing that I had a tutorial just like it! But almost every makeup look is going to look different on different skin tones and complexions. So I decided to upload it anyway just so you guys could see how it looks on a lighter complexion. I also changed up the lip color to make it a more natural and everyday wearable for those who aren't into bold lips. This also reminded me of a sunset on the beach...hence why I named it Golden Beach Sunset lol. And this could also work for you ladies who are looking into getting married on the beach...so it's a win win! lol I hope you guys enjoy this!

Summer Full Coverage Foundation

So I know summer is almost over...but better late than never...right?

This is my current summer foundation routine and I've come to really love these products! As I have probably mentioned before...I DO NOT wear makeup everyday...and when I do...it's nothing more than brows and concealer...maybe a little bit of foundation (powder or liquid) if I feel like it. I only wear full coverage foundation for special occasions or when I'm filming. I just wanted to share with you guys what products, techniques and tools I use to achieve this look. Enjoy!

Un-groomed Brow Tutorial

Hey guys! So we all know that saying..."Brows are the frame to your face"...or something like that! But what happens when some of us get over zealous and try to do certain things on our own that should be left to the professionals? Things like threading your own brows!!! Yes....I tried to thread them myself...and it didn't turn out how I expected...actually it came out EVEN WORSE!!!

So I saw the damage I did to one brow and decided to leave the other one alone and just work with what I have! So now I'm in the process of growing my brows so they can go back to the way they were. Here's a step by step tutorial on how I tame and shape my brows so they look like they have been groomed!! Enjoy! :-)

August 2012 Favorites

Hi guys! So I don't normally do monthly favorites videos because I don't always have different products that I'm currently loving for that particular month....if you get what I'm saying lol. I don't buy new stuff that often...so most of the stuff that I'm repurchasing are probably already mentioned in a previous 'favorites' video! But for the month of August...I've been really diggin these products..and I mean I REALLY LOVE THEM! Like Jackie-O from Lilpumpkinpie05 said..."what makes the difference between a person who genuinely loves a product in their favorites video and a person who's full of you know what...you open the product and it's still full!" Well that's not the case for me this month! LOL...well except for the nail strengthener...but I promise I really do LOVE IT! lol. I hope you guys enjoy! :-)

Aaliyah "We Need A Resolution" & Lilpumpkinpie05 Inspired Look

Once again....another Lilpumpkinpie05 inspired look! I hope you guys aren't getting tired of me doing her looks....cause I definitely am not tired of it! LOL I just can't get enough of her! She is AMAZING at what she does! And her videos are fun to watch...so much personality! So she is doing an Aaliyah series and she absolutely NAILED this look. It looked simple so I decided to give it a try. Enjoy! :-)

*Oh....I'm not saying that I LOOK like the beautiful Aaliyah...this was an INSPIRED look*

Purple Back To School Collaboration with BrushWorksByChris

So this is my very first COLLABORATION!!! YAYYY!!! (Claps hands! Lol) I'm very excited to do my first collab. BrushworksbyChris on Youtube proposed that he does a Subscriber Collaboration on a purple back to school look...and I just had to join in on all the fun! This look I created was something for the "risk takers"...for those of us who are willing to take our makeup to the next step beyond your average smokey purple eye. I think it's fun and cute! Some may like it...some may not...but who cares? lol

Infrared Rays

This is my lovely cousin Linsay, and she's always complaining that I always do a "natural" look on her...so she just let me go crazy and this is what I came up with. I really wanted to try out this new glitter I brought from Natural's Night Out, this natural hair/beauty event in NYC back in June. The glitter is by Glamorous Chicks Cosmetics (review will be coming very soon)! But here is the look and hopefully you guys like it :-)

Lemon Lime

Hey guys!!! So my sister, Eva, decided that she wanted to play around with some colors since she's always doing the "natural" look. She says "I'm too dark for bright colors"! That's a load of CRAP if you ask me! You are never "too dark for bright colors", as long as it's applied and blended correctly, it'll look fabulous! So I did this makeup look on her to show her that she can wear bright colors! ANY COMPLEXION CAN WEAR BRIGHT COLORS!!! LOL Enjoy! <3.

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!

Happy 24th birthday to me!! I'm thankful for EVERYDAY that God has allowed and blessed me with!

Take a moment and breathe...reflect...appreciate....and learn. That's what I did! Makes you look at things from a different perspective. To say I'm now 24....sometimes makes me feel old...but I'm embracing it! Lol I'm talking like I'm turning 70!!! Lol but embrace everything God has put into your life. The good. The bad. And the very bad.

I may not have a lot of readers/followers...but I still feel that I had to post something!

Cotton Candy Passion

Hey guys!!! So I'm really digging Sugarpill's Heart Breaker Palette! I've been getting a lot of use with these 4 bright colors! So pigmented and vivid!! I LOVE IT lol!!! I came up with this look on my beautiful cousin, Loundy, and I think this look really good on her! She's not a makeup wearer at all, so it was cool to set out of her comfort zone and go crazy with color! I hope you guys like this!!

Instagram's Christiemrg Inspired Look

So I've been following this AMAZING makeup artist on Instagram named "Christiemrg"! So is SUPER talented such an inspiration! She did this makeup look that I absolutely loved and wanted to recreate on my friend Justine! It's a versatile look...at least in my opinion it is! It's a neutral look on the lids...and it's like a party on the bottom lash line and winged out liner LOL! So you can either wear it as is...or if you just prefer a neutral eye...just do the lid part and skip the blue on the bottom lash line and the double winged liner! Hope you guys like this!

P.S....if you have an IG account, follow me @ashlyn_mua! Also follow Christie...I think that's her name lol @christiemrg.

JoJo "Disaster" Inspired Makeup Look

Hiiiiii!!! Lol so I was watching JoJo's new video, "Disaster" a few weeks ago and for some reason her eye makeup just stood out to me. It's a very simple makeup look (at least to me it is), yet I couldn't get it out of my head! So I decided to do a tutorial...hoping that I could get it out and move on lol. I think she had a green color on her lower lash line, but I really wanted to use my new pigment from the Hey Sailor! collection by MAC called Navel Blue...so I did a blue lower lash line instead. But it's makeup...you could use WHATEVER COLOR YOU WANT AND MAKE IT YOUR OWN!!!...cause you know what..it's all going to end up on a makeup remover wipe at the end of the night anyway....or your pillow if you forget to remove your makeup lol. Ok!! Enough of me rambling and onto the tutorial and pictures!! Enjoy!!!

Tropical Storm

Hey Guys! So I purchased some new MAC shadows a few weeks ago and I was so excited to play around with them and see what I can create! So here it is! Its fun, bold and very colorful! I received so many compliments on this look! Hopefully you guys like it!

Viva Glam Gaga Inspired Promo Pic

Hey Guys!!! I posted a video up for this look a while ago and completely forgot to post something on here! This look was inspired by a YouTube guru, NikkieTutorials, whom is an AMAZING Makeup Artist!! Her videos are so enticing and entertaining, yet full of creativity and originality! I hope to one day be as amazing as she is!! So I watched her video on the Lady Gaga promo pic and decided to give it a try as well..so here is my take on it!! Hope you guys like it!!

Out The Ordinary

So my friend Gloria and I decided that we would start a new series on my YouTube channel...kinda like doing  makeovers...well I guess it is me doing a makeover on her lol...just for fun tho because she's already gorgeous alone! This look was very fun to create....it's not your everyday wearable smokey eye...it's crazy...wild....out there...it's out of the ordinary! Hope you guys like this look!

I'm Ready For Spring!!!!

Are you as ready for spring as I am? Granted I am thankful that we didn't have a horrible winter this year (unlike last year)....I'm just ready for the warm weather. I want to step out the house without needing a jacket...I'm ready for the skirts/shorts/tanks etc...well mentally....not quite physically ready yet lol. But I decided to try out a bright fun wearable makeup look (well to me it's wearable lol). You can tweak it and make it your own....there's really no RULE in wearing makeup to suit you! Well...I hope you guys like this look! :-)

Bee Sting

Hey Guys!!

I had soo much fun creating this look!!! Although I'm PETRIFIED of bees....I love their color combo...black and yellow! And also because yellow is my favorite color!!! :-) So I decided to created this look using the colors of a bee. This look can be done using many other colors as well!! I wanted something to really pop out...and what other color better than yellow to do that! I hope you guys like this!!!

Collective Haul: Feb 2012

Hey Beauties!!

So over the past month or so I've been doing a little shopping around (even though I really shouldn't have been lol). But I must say that I've got some really good stuff and I wanted to share it with you guys! Hopefully it is somewhat helpful for someone out there :-)

Sigma E40 Tapered Blending Brush

Hey Beauties!

I'm slowly yet steadily building up my makeup collection...along with that is having great brushes! Sigma brushes are very comparable to MAC brushes however they are more affordable and budget friendly :-).

China Glaze: Watermelon Rind

Again....another China Glaze nail polish! This is a shimmery emerald green that seems to have specks of teal in it.  I wasn't really drawn to this color because most polishes I've tried that are shimmery tend to need more than 2 coats to not appear transparent. But to my surprise...this color is very opaque! I only needed 2 coats! Of course with 3 or 4 coats, you'll definitely have more color payoff...but I was satisfied with 2 (& I didn't have the patience to wait for 3 or 4 coats to dry! lol)

WARNING: PICTURES OF CUTICLES IN DESPERATE NEED OF BEING CUT OFF  AHEAD! LOL

China Glaze: Dance Baby

If you couldn't tell already...I am OBSESSED with China Glaze nail polishes!!! They have such a wide variety of colors!! I just tried Dance Baby from their Electro Pop- spring collection that was released sometime last month! This is a fun bubblegum pink color that is not too obnoxious and overbearing! Everybody was asking me "What color is that on your nails?!" If you aren't into girly colors...this is NOT for you!! But if you're like me...your eyes will automatically be DRAWN to this color lol. This is definitely a great must have color for spring and summer....or all year round! :-)

Valentine's Day: Pink Passion

So Valentine's Day is right around the corner...why not step out of your comfort zone of "natural" makeup and spice things up a little bit!!! I think this look is sexy yet not overly dramatic. So to look your best for V-Day...give this look a try. Try it out even if you don't have plans....it's always fun messing around with makeup!!! 

Green With Envy

The color green...do you know the meaning behind the color green? Green represent so many things....nature, fertility, and life!!! It is a restful color and symbolizes balance. However, the color green is usually associated with jealousy and envy! So I decided to do a tutorial using greens, golds, and blacks! I hope you guys like this!
