Balance it Out!

Windy City Gal's tips for Beginners!

Over the years, seeing gals try out gal make up, there have been a few things that got to me: the lack of balance. I think it is one of the things that grows with the person doing the make up to learn balancing out the aesthetics especially for the more extreme and heavier make up styles.

Balance issue: Think of your favorite (or a ) Drag Queen. Now, if you have a pic of them without their glorious locks but their make up is on in full, it looks kinda weird until their hair is on and poppin.

BAHAHAHHAA
Cake faced glory

Got on one of my FAVE pairs of lens and Diamond Nudy eye lashes.... but no hair!! ARRGHGHHGHG!!!

Beady little eyes to steal your soul! D:

Weird, yea?! Well I look even funnier when I did Manba and didn't have my hair on yet!

Balance issue: A person doing super extreme Manba make up looks weird with super flat or no hair. The same goes for a person who wears super long and big falsies and bold bottom lashes without circle lens to balance out the lashes and take up some of the white space in the eye.

Hope these tips helped!

Eye Glasses!

It may be a little bit silly to some, but I have been pretty excited about my pairs of glasses !

It has been years since I have had an eye exam and about a year since my old pair of glasses broke. I saw that at one place had a sale for an eye exam and a buy one get one promotion for glasses that I wanted to take advantage of! So, I scheduled an appointment, and went right on in!

They make you fill out a questionnaire about your eyesight, and you get to choose what other tests you want to do for your eyes, for example, getting fitted for lens and also to check for other eye disorders.
I had a pair picked out from the website I liked, and though they did not have the exact frame in store, I found one that was pretty similar! The staff was very patient with me since it was a big investment for me!

The only add on that I bought for the lens was the HD feature so that I do not see curved images when I look towards the edges of my glasses. My two pairs of glasses came out to $422.93! If they were not on sale, the total price would have went up to a whooping $798! And even more if I had selected other features for my pairs.

The glasses I got were Envy and Breezy by Bebe

Pros: Convenient location in the Loop. Being able to understand the prescription. Being able to look and try on the various amount of frames.  

Cons: Pricey when you do not have insurance, or if you decide to buy from online stores like Coastal.
