DIY Sharpie Mug!

I've wanted to do this for so long and I finally took advantage of my lazy day to do it! What is "It" you ask? A Sharpie mug! Still confused? A sharpie mug is a plain mug that you decorate with a sharpie and with a few easy steps the sharpie design becomes super permanent! Here are some examples from others!

Alright! Now lets get started with mine! I've decided to make mine a "Home is where the heart is" kind of thing. My home is in Maryland but next year i start college in North Carolina.

1. Draw your design with pencil on a clean ceramic mug. 

2. Once you've decided this is what you want, go over the pencil in sharpie.

3. Carefully put the mug in a 425 degree oven and set the timer for thirty minutes. 

4. Do something fun with your thirty minutes to spare, I painted a dresser for my room! 

5.  when your timer goes off CAREFULLY get the mug out of the oven and set it on a pot holder. Let cool and enjoy!

I hope you guys enjoy making one of these as much as I did! Tweet me pictures of your mugs if you make one! @LiveBrightlyy Have a great day!

Quick and Easy Contouring

I know that when I starting using makeup the biggest mystery to me was contouring and bronzer. So, might as well help someone else out. Here's a quick and easy way to contour your face!

What did I use?

1.Start with a fresh face.

2.Put liquid foundation all over, and a little blush on your cheeks.

3.Use liquid highlighter and blend.

Use the light end to dot under-eyes and the white on your cheekbones, down your nose, and in a small triangle. Use a foundation brush to blend.

4. Dot "C"s under your cheekbone and above your eyebrows.

I used the medium shade from the cream foundation palette to do these dots.

5. Blend and TaaaaDaaa

So there it is, a quick and easy face routine. Have a wonderful rest of your day!
