Supernatural Rowena’s Makeup Possibly Revealed?

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

I was talking on the phone with Dusty a few months ago and we got into a conversation about how fine Rowena from Supernatural looks. If you’re not a Supernatural fan girl or guy you likely have no idea what I’m talking about but for those who are I’m sure at some point you were left wondering what makeup Rowena was wearing. This is particularly the case for her eye makeup because that girl sports some fantastic eyeshadow looks!

At one point, I felt positive she was wearing Urban Decay Mildew Eyeshadow as across a few episodes she had on this stunning sparkly olive green on her eyes that flattered her creamy skin and gorgeous red hair perfectly.

In more recent, episodes you’ll catch her wearing a fuchsia and purple blue look.

I have to admit I’ve mused what Alanna Masterson wore on Talking Dead and Mercedes Mason’s might be wearing but Rowena aka Ruthie Connell beats both of them out with her dramatic eye looks.

If you follow the Darkness aka Amara aka Emily Swallow on Twitter she actually retweets a lot of makeup tidbits about Supernatural. Recently, she disclosed the shade of greige nail polish she was wearing when stroking Dean’s face. Hey, you know you likely had a brief moment where you wish that was you stroking Dean’s fast but the thought was super quickly overtaken by, “OMG THAT NAIL POLISH IS SO FLEEK!”

Up until now mum has been the word on Rowena’s makeup but recently the makeup artist for Supernatural shared a little bit of what might be on her eyes. Looks like Make Up For Ever and Charlotte Tilbury are two names mentioned. Hm..! There goes my theory about Urban Decay!

The Older I Get, The More I Appreciate Natural Makeup Looks

natural makeup

Lately, I feel like the older I get the more I appreciate natural makeup looks. I never thought there would come a time in my life where I felt like shimmer and sparkle eyeshadow was too much. But lately, that’s exactly how I feel!

Don’t get me wrong I still love me some sparkly eyeshadow but sometimes a simple wash of matte tan on my eyes is all I need to look fresh and natural. Plus with the warmer weather headed our way lightweight makeup is always a plus!

I Went Into Target For Toilet Paper and Came Out with $200 Worth of Stuff

target splurge

Ah Target! A vortex of evil. Be honest, have you ever walked into Target for something like say toilet paper and came out with $200 worth of stuff or am I alone in careless spending? Or have you ever walked in and you told yourself, “Ok, gotta grab this and that and I’m out the door in two minutes”. And suddenly, two minutes to turns into 2 hours.

First off, you walk in and those dollar bins are right in your face. So, suddenly you feel this need to scavenge through them and before you know it you have ten bucks worth of really cute post it notes in your cart along with cutesy little bins that you’re sure will be great for makeup storage.

Next, comes the purses and accessories. As soon as I turn the corner from the dollar bin the purses are right there. And you know what, Target has some damn cute iPhone cases and wallets too. And always there’s some collaboration going on with Jason Wu, Lilly Pulitzer, or some other designer so, suddenly shopping Target is all about haute couture. In goes two purses, a few wallets, and some iPhone cases into your shopping cart.

Update: Too Faced Fall 2016 launches today at toofaced.com.

Jerrod Blandino, Too Faced’s co-founder, is one of the makeup and beauty accounts I recently recommended you follow on Instagram. He’s already leaking Too Faced Fall 2016 info so there you go, reason enough for a follow right? 🙂

As you know already, Korean makeup and beauty are trending hard in the US. I have hope it isn’t a passing trend but a lasting one like contouring and highlighting which doesn’t want to go away like evers.

I mention this because it feels like the Too Faced Fall 2016 actually has a kawaii vibe going on which is more Japanese than Korean so, perhaps, we’ll see some Japanese influence for Fall 2016. Kawaii or cute is not only a marketing tool in Japan but also a prominent part of the culture. It’s something that has infiltrated every aspect of Japanese culture including clothes, food, even signs on the street. I do think in regards to makeup and beauty, Korea does have a more cuter aspect to some of their brands but the kawaii culture itself brings to mind my love of Japan.

Some of that trickles into the new Too Faced Totally Cute Palette and Too Faced Sketch Marker Liquid Art Eyeliners releasing in June as an early Fall 2016 launch.

Take a look!
