Mommin' It Up since 2004!
Hey everybody! While Emily and I are at Mom 2.0 Summit, I thought I’d leave you with my latest makeup tutorial. I’ll be wearing this eye makeup look Saturday at the conference. Don’t forget to follow me on instagram and twitter @jennyitup and follow the hashtag #doyourmakeup. Enjoy!
Happy Wednesday friends! I’ve decided this week to combine Pinterest with something I love and can actually do – makeup! So a couple of weeks ago I pinned an eye makeup look that I thought I could replicate and I went for it. Here’s the original pin:
I re-created it using my own makeup that I already have – I use Mary Kay. For the brown I used one of my favorite colors, Chocolate Kiss on my eyelid, and for the orange-y shade, another I love called Amber Blaze, in the crease of my eye. I also lined my bottom lashline with both colors, Amber Blaze below Chocolate Kiss. I don’t have any liquid eyeliner, so I just used regular black eyeliner. I couldn’t quite get that cat-eyed look, but I still liked the results. Here’s how it turned out:
What do you think? I think I’ll keep cruising Pinterest for ideas for my #doyourmakeup looks that I post every day on Instagram. I’d love to have you join me over there!
But for now, I hope you join me over here! If you’ve been pinning and blogging about it, leave your link below! We wanna see what you’ve been whipping up!

So, recently on Instagram (which I am obsessed with), I’ve started posting pictures of myself with my daily makeup and hashtagging them “#doyourmakeup”. Here are some examples:
You get the idea! Anyways, I invited other Instagrammers and Twitter users to play along, posting pics of themselves all made up and using the #doyourmakeup hashtag on Instagram or Twitter. Much to my delight, people have started playing along! I LOVE seeing everyone’s makeup looks every day, from basic to the dramatic!
Some of my Instagram friends have been asking me to do some how-to-do-your-makeup tutorials. I’ve done some in the past using my laptop webcam but was never happy with them. So, this weekend I decided to try the iPad to record one and – voila! – it worked great! So here it is, my VERY FIRST #doyourmakeup tutorial! It’s “How to do your eyeshadow using only two colors” – super easy and less than TWO minutes long! I think it will change your makeup life. 🙂 Enjoy, and pretty please join us on Instagram and Twitter for #doyourmakeup – just do your makeup, snap a pic, upload it and use the #doyourmakeup hashtag! And tag me @jennyitup so I can see and comment!
So that’s all there is to it! Does that look do-able? Leave me a comment and let me know what you think!
