DIY: Rainbow Pasta│Recipe in 5 Easy Steps

 
What's better than plain pasta you ask? Colourful rainbow pasta, of course! I'm a big pasta eater (oh no, carbs...) and I know a lot of types. I bet you've seen black pasta, tricolor pasta, but... have you seen bright, in your face colourful pasta? I wanted to try this as soon as I knew there was a super easy way to do it. You can use any kind of pasta, for this tutorial I used spaghetti but I think fusilli or farfalle would look pretty good too! You will also need a few Ziplock bags, plain water and liquid food colouring.
Step 1 - Cook your pasta following the package instructions. You can add onions/ garlic and salt for flavour. Step 2 - While your pasta is cooking, prepare your Ziplock bags of food colouring adding 15-20 drops and 2 tablespoons of plain water to each bag. I used 3 colours (yellow, red and blue). Step 3 - Once your pasta is done, drain it and run cold water over it.
 
Step 4 - Separate your pasta in equal parts into the Ziplock bags of the mixture of liquid food colouring and water. Then seal the bags and mix the pasta with the food colouring until your get a bold colour. Let it sit for about a minute.

Step 5 - Return each bag to the strainer, one by one. Give the pasta another cold water rinse, and then transfer the pasta into a bowl to combine the colours. And then serve!
 
Voilá! Rainbow pasta done. You can add your favourite topping or sauce. I like to add a bit of mozzarella cheese on top :) Eating pasta has never been this fun!

How To: Naked 2 Palette Look Vol.1

Step by step tutorial using Urban Decay's Naked 2 Palette.

Since i got my Naked 2 palette  i've been creating new looks to share with you. This is my second tutorial , and i hope you enjoy it!

The shadows i used have been marked with hearts :)

I have created this simple yet elegant look on 10 simple steps:

STEP 1: Start with clean skin, don't forget to moisturize and prep your face!
STEP 2: Apply eyeshadow base all over your eyelid. I used Benefit's Stay don't Stray eyeshadow primer.
STEP 3: Apply the shadow Foxy from UD Naked 2 Palette under your eyebrow. This will help you brighten up your eye.
STEP 4: Next apply the shadow Chopper on your crease.
STEP 5: Apply the shadow Busted over your crease. There is no need to apply too much of this shadow as this is only the create a depth effect on your eyelid and you'll be applying a darker shade afterwards.


STEP 6: Apply just a bit of the shadow Blackout starting at the outer corner of your eye blending it towards the middle of your eyelid. It's kind of forming a "V" shape all over your eye.
STEP 7: Apply the shadow Half Baked in the inner corner of your eye to create a luminous effect.
STEP 8: Blend well with a bigger brush, and if needed apply more of the Foxy shadow under your eyebrow.
STEP 9: Apply concealer/corrector under your eyes to brighten up your complexion. I used Mac Select -Cover Up in NW25.
STEP 10: Put mascara on lashes to finish the look.

You're done!

Final look using shadows in the Naked 2 Palette.

How To: Glossy Eyelids

Hey lovelies! Today i'm going to show you how to achieve glossy eyelids, also known as the wet eyeshadow look. Glossy eyelids have been around for quite a while, and have been seen in fashion runways and magazines. I had never tried it before, but since i got my Mac Gloss Crème Brillance when the Chenman Collection came out, i've been experimenting. I think the wet eyelid it's a very versatile look because depending on the colours, it can be a very natural or a very bold look.

I did my glossy eyelids on 5 simple steps:

STEP 1: Start with clean eyelids. The less makeup you have on, the better results you will get.
STEP 2: Apply an eye makeup primer or concealer all over your eyelids as a base to hold the eyeshadow.
STEP 3: Choose the colour of eyeshadow you want and apply it with a medium brush all over your eyelid starting from the outer corner of your eye.
STEP 4: Once the colour is well blended, apply a small amount of cosmetic gloss with your finger starting at the inner eye, making sure you're covering the whole area where you applied the eyeshadow.
STEP 5: To finish the glossy eyelid look, apply black mascara.

Multipurpose gloss is the most effective way to achieve this look. However, if you don't have multipurpose gloss, you may use non-sticky lipgloss, vaseline or petroleum jelly.

This is how it looks like in both eyes:


Apply black eyeliner for a more dramatic look:


This look is very wearable, it can be used by day without any eyeshadow for a dewy skin finish look or by night, on top of a very bold eyeshadow colour. i personally love it! I think it's very sexy!

The products that i used for this tutorial were:

1. Maybelline One by One Mascara in Blackest Black
2. Sephora Pro Natural All Over Shadow Brush #12
3. Sephora Pro Concealer Brush # 45
4. Benefit Stay Don't Stray Stay Put Primer
5. Mac Gloss Crème Brillance
6. Mac Eyeshadow in Brown Down
7. Mac Powerpoint Eye Pencil in Engraved

What do you think about this glossy eyelid look? Have you tried it before? Do you love this look? Or rather stay with matte eyelids?
