Over the years..

Over the years I've gone through some crazy makeup trends. I wasn't allowed to start wearing makeup until 8th grade, and once I began I couldn't stop. I went from simple to extreme, and no one told me how outrageous I was, not even my parents, they supported my funky fads. Now I look back at my photos and realize how much my makeup skills have developed and also appreciate how creative I was when I was younger.

This is me around the time I started dying my hair and wearing makeup, very deep liner and pale lips: (around age 17) Here I was around 18, very gothic look, but I was an angel for Halloween: This was my everyday look for awhile (around age 19):

Still around 19, I did many rainbow eyeshadows (NYE shadows were my fav at the time):
I was 20 in this picture, very into the Gwen Stefani look: This is when my hair began to fry due to way too much flat iron and bleach, was very into pastel eyeshadows. I also ODed on self tanner this summer: (age: 21)

I dyed my hair darker because it was so fried, but kept my bangs blonde. Still stayed with pink light eyeshadows: This is me now, way more natural then I used to be, but I miss my creative-ness and ballsi-ness to wear anything outside and not be scared what others would think. I no longer dye my hair and have grown out my natural dirty blonde hair. I miss my funky colored highlights somtimes, but my hair has never been healthier. We all go through our many phases and one day we all look back and think "wow, I miss that" or "What was I thinking!" haha.

Out of all my phases my bleach blonde hair and rainbow eyes are definitely my most missed moments.

What was your favorite phase you went through?

Post your makeup/hair phases on your blog too! Tag your turn ;)
