Recently I was surfing YouTube for makeup tutorials and I came upon UK based makeup artist Wayne Goss. After watching his videos on contouring and using concealer, I'm officially hooked!

I think that anyone who loves beauty and makeup should subscribe to his channel for honest opinions, flawless tutorials and great advice.

Here's the first of his videos that I watched:

Elegant Hair Curls Guest Blog Video Tutorial!

Elegant Hair Curls Guest Blog Video Tutorial!

The Beauty Blunder Blog would like to welcome guest blogger, Brittany for her 'Classic Curls' video tutorial.

Being a girl can be hard work. I’m not saying you need to have the perfect hair and makeup to be beautiful, because you don’t, but even I’ll admit there’s extra pep in my step when I know I look good. Luckily, looking good doesn't have to be hard work. If you’re like me and low maintenance is not only a way of life but a way of style, you’ll love getting the most wear from the effort you put into your look.

Although my normal “everyday” hair is usually perpetual bedhead—I work from home—I do have two go-to styles that make me look a little more put together. I’m big on braids, but if your fingers aren’t nimble enough to tackle them, my other go-to involves using a curling wand. To achieve voluminous ringlets or soft waves, a clamp-less curling wand can be your best friend.  They are perfect for any hair type. My hair is naturally wavy, and it hates normal curling irons but loves these.

I’ve always learned it’s easier to show and not tell, so I've put together a video on how to achieve effortless hair curls that will not only look good the first day but will also give you second day hair that’s textured and ready to take on another day!

2 Color Shimmery Shadow Look

2 Color Shimmery Shadow Look

Hey guys!

This is my tutorial on a two color shimmery eye look.  I hope you like it :)

• After setting concealer & foundation, apply an eyeshadow primer.  This works to grab the color & make it really pop.

• Choose your 2 shimmery colors (You can keep them in the same color family like I did, or mix & match depending on how bold you want your look.)  My colors were from Bare Escentuals: Nude Beach (Lighter) & Downtown (Darker)

• Keep your two shadow brushes separate to eliminate confusion

• Start with the light color first by using the excess powder found in the cap.  It's usually enough to start.  Blend from the corner of your eye (closest to your nose) to the middle of your eyelid.  Don't go all the way up to your brow.  Dip your brush in more shadow & swirl, or tap, the excess off on the lid.  Continue until desired effect.

• Do the same for the darker color, except begin the color from the middle of the eyelid to the end of the eyelid.  Keep a nice round shape, keep some distance from the brow, & don't apply it too far past the end of your eye.

• Bring the darker color just slightly under the lower lash line for a smoky dramatic look.

Finish up with your signature mascara, eyeliner, etc.

I hope you guys found this easy to follow.  Leave me some comments, so I can customize my posts to bring you everything you want to learn.
