Katy Perry: Music, Makeup (tutorial) and Insight

This post is dedicated to the talented Katy Perry; She is my girl crush, and yes I would love to be her for one day. Since I can't be her I'll just do makeup that looks fairly similar to hers (tutorial above!).

I ran by this post on hellogiggles.com about Katy's insight to pretty much everything from sex to love to cherry chapstick. I feel this post is perfect to quote for my Katy Perry themed tutorial, since she is amazing.  See her movie! Believe me you will love her that much more.

 Here are my favorite parts of the post:
Please Keep in Mind I did not write this the credit goes to Jessica Tholmer.


1. When you are in love, you’ll be young forever.It is basically like taking a sip out of that Tuck Everlasting (does anyone else remember how hot Jonathan Jackson is/was?) water. Though when you are in love, you really do feel young forever. The whole being-single-and-not-in-love thing is how you start feeling old. (Enter my best friend’s eye roll.)


 4. If it’s not like the movies, that’s how it should be.
Here’s the deal: I am the most cinematically driven person maybe ever. If something resembles a plotline in a movie, I am so in—even if it is my own love life (it always is) and I gripe about it (I always do) and I talk about how I wish my boys would just man up and put a ring on it (Beyoncé reference—sorry Katy), even though I don’t actually wish that because I am a a terrible commitment-phobe and if I got hitched too soon in life, I would get bored and probably end up in a Closer situation.

7. Do not settle for second best.Just between us dear readers, I will tell you a secret: the song “Thinking of You” made me cry when I saw Katy live last summer. The entire auditorium looked like a live version of Candy Land, but I could not stop the tear flow ’cause I fo sho relate to this song like nobody’s business.

No Makeup Bag Equals Desperate Times

Most people who own makeup usually keep the same products and use them consistently. Now, this isn't my attempt to brag about how much makeup I have. Even with all the products I own,  I have a small case filled with my favorite products that I use daily. It just so happens that I have left my case at my boyfriend's house.

It was when he was driving me home that I realized my makeup case was 20 minutes away and it was just too late to turn around. I silently cursed myself for the rest of the ride. This morning I cursed myself even more because I was planning on filming a makeup tutorial. I could have just used the makeup I keep in my storage department (a.k.a. my suitcase). It just was not happening. 

After rummaging through my shadows, blush palettes and the extra face products I couldn't get over parting  with my Origins SPF15 Moisturizer and  Urban Decay Naked Palette . Or even the fact that ALL of my makeup brushes were left behind! I wanted to cry because blending your eye shadow with your finger is not as easy as everyone makes it seem, or maybe my fingers are just too wide. In these desperate times I will just have to do my tutorial later, all the makeup in the world is no good to me without my brushes...
