Crazy about Coachella
It's Coachella season and here at Beyond The Palette that means super cute, unique, and fun makeup looks.
Here are a few looks that anyone can pull off:
Vanessa Hudgens pulled off a fun gem look. You can't go wrong with gems. Go for stick on gems or be daring and glue them on you. Any color gem works too. So get glitzy with those gems!
Next, is Peyton List rocking that beautiful orange lip. Orange and Coral colors go well with every skin tone. Whether its a coral lip or an orange eye all works well for Coachella.
Coachella is bright and fun event so these makeup trends fits just the description for the festivities!

Your setting powder prayers have been answered!
I have just the product perfect for all skin types and tones. NYX's HD Finishing in the shade translucent is the G.O.A.T.
It is a pressed powder that is sure to set your makeup flawlessly without any left over traces of powder.
This product works works well for any skin type and tone because it is translucent, so this is a quick and easy buy for all my online makeup shoppers and great for those who are unsure as to what their makeup shade would be.
Last but not least, it is just ten dollars! Super inexpensive!
This product is dope, Thank me later😘

My Everyday Makeup Tutorial
This week's post is a bit different because for one its a video and I get to show my viewers how I do my makeup on a regular day.
A few of the products I used were mentioned in previous blog posts so look out for those. This makeup look is super simple and effortless which is why I use so few products.
Overall I am excited to show my content and if possible, viewers can take away from my makeup process.

Favorite Products of the Week
My first weekly fave is the NYX Conceal Correct Contour Palette, it comes in many different shades so I love how much variety it has. It also has many different uses to it, hence in the name, it conceals, corrects, and contours. Most makeup brands lack variety but, NYX is a company that has products that can suit women of many different skin tones. I have the palette in the shade deep and I absolutely love the shades. For any of my makeup lovers out there who have a hard time finding their shade should definitely look into this.
Second is the Makeup Revolution Flawless 2 Ultra 32 Eyeshadow Palette. Again there are so many different shades to choose from. The use of neutrals and browns are universal for all skin tones and can go well with all skin tones as well and this palette is loaded with it. The metallic shades can double up as a highlight and who doesn't love a good highlight.
My last weekly fave is the blistex bliss ultra moisturizing flip lip balm. It smells amazing and is a great alternative from the regular medicated blistex. It is an essential for soft and moisturized lips.

Beauty on a Budget: Money-Saving Lip Dupes
Mac, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Kylie Jenner Lip Kits?
Yes we love em' but they are a bit over priced.
Here are three dupes for the beloved yet expensive lipsticks.
1. Mac's Matte Lipstick- Ruby Woo $17
The perfect red shade is hard to find on its own. Mac lipsticks are known for its smooth application and the intense amounts of pigment they have.
BUT, we can find something better for our pockets.
NYX Cosmetic's matte lipstick in the shade Perfect Red has a matte finish, goes on smoothly, and has just the right amount of pigment. Oh and its perfect for your pockets. It is $6 dollars, nearly 3 times less than Ruby Woo.
You still get the black tube packaging, the intense red color, and more money in your pockets.
2. Anastasia Beverly Hills's Lip Gloss- Dainty $16
Who doesn't love a peach colored lipgloss. It isn't as vibrant as baby pink lipgloss and safe enough to be considered a nude lipgloss.
However it is not all that hard to find in your local department store.
Once again NYX comes to save the day (and your pockets) this time with their butter gloss in the shade Apple Strudel. The same peach shade that you would have paid almost 4 times as much for because NYX's butter glosses are $5 dollars.

3. Kylie Cosmetics's Lip Kit- Head Over Heels $29
Everyone has obsessed over Kylie Jenner's lip kits at a point in time, admit it. Or even believed that the kit is the secret to her full lips. Head Over Heels is a deep shade of plum and yes it comes with a matching lip liner. Amazed?
NYX has that similar plum shade with their soft matte lip cream in the shade Vancouver for just $6 dollars.

The Start of Something Beautiful...
Hello, my name is Imani Coaxum. I am a journalism and broadcasting major at SUNY Brockport, and I want to create my own blog and eventually a magazine to write about beauty, fashion, and lifestyle.
Beyond the Palette is a niche blog about the diversity of makeup. In today's society, we read magazines and if you notice you do not see a lot of diversity in them. We see women, specifically caucasian, modeling in campaigns or celebrities. Yeah they are cool to look at, but it makes it hard for us as viewers to relate. With this blog I want to promote diversity as in different skin tones and genders. Makeup has been socialized to be JUST for women and I absolutely disagree. There are many male makeup artists who are very successful at what they do. I want viewers to be able to relate with what they see in my blog.
There will be tips on saving money because there are many great dupes for makeup products. As well as skin care tips because I have countless tips from many different sources. There will also be tutorials and chit chat videos so that you guys can get a sense of who I am and what I like, and inspiration and trend posts to see what's new in the makeup world. My viewers will also play a big role in the content I provide. So your questions, comments, and concerns matter most.
I believe that there are no set rules on how to do makeup and who should wear it and everyone should see it this way because makeup is art. So I hope to inspire viewers to take more risks with makeup. I want to be able to provide viewers with my perspective on makeup as well as other perspectives.Wear crazy lipstick and eyeshadow colors, get creative!
