Date Night Makeup

next
Outtakes + a few pregnancy notes

 

So I’m finally able to share about what I did while I was in New York City in April!

Through working with the BlogHer publishing network, I’m able to connect with brands and work on fun projects! Almay began working with BlogHer on a campaign and I was lucky enough to be chosen to participate!

I had never done anything like this before, and it was such a cool experience. Shooting a video with an entire team (instead of just me and my cats) was slightly more challenging, but tons of fun. 

We shot 4 different makeup looks using different products from Almay. This first video is a quick and simple “date night” look. Oh, and as you know from the photos earlier this week, that’s just my “stand-in” husband at the end of the video! 

I’m really grateful to be able to work on such fun projects. I never could have possibly imagined the opportunities that I’ve been presented with since starting my little blog 2 years ago. 
The hair tutorial for this style can be found here!

Kate, I gave your website out to a couple of folks in the nail salon this week who asked me, “how did you do your hair like that?” You have single-handedly saved my hair.

I told a local celebrity around Spartanburg, Kimberly Kelly, OVER YEAR AGO, that she needed to make you famous. Looks like you’ve gone & done it on your own! Congratulations!

You look beautiful in the video, but super awkward moment for you (I’m sure) hugging a stranger…

A great video, you look so happy and sweet. The foundation sounds nice, but I’m not sure, if I can get in anywhere in Europe.

You look GREAT!!! And I’m so stoked for you on your pregnancy! I had an inkling when you stopped posting regularly after being ill, and then kind of knew when you decided not to run with your mom and sister in the tri. This is fantastic, Ms. Katie-Bird. Congrats to you and your husband.

I couldn’t see the video on Google Reader but when i looked at the post on your website, it wouldn’t load! It originally said “video not found or access denied” after I pressed play. I clicked on the center of the video when that message popped up and it worked… hope this works for others!

I don’t even see a video in the post. All I see is the post itself. I’ve tried various things but nothing is working for me. Not sure why.. 🙁

That was cute! I wasn’t sure what your were gonna say during the lipstick part. It started off sounding VERY sultry and sexy! “I like to wear…” Holy Moly…what are you gonna say next? OH just two coats of gloss, ok, that’s still rated PG! 😉

Tracey says · 06.06.13

So fun! Love the look.

Also, I agree with the previous posters – your hair tutorials are awesome; I’ve never received so many compliments as I have been since I’ve started using your tips/advice!

I’m new to your blog. Congratulations on your pregnancy!
I’m curious, does Almay make-up work for darker skin? I have typically found that there are very few over-the-counter cosmetic lines that I can use. I have tan/medium skin and most colors are too light.
