Hi Guys and Dolls!
It’s no secret that I haven’t had a full tutorial in a while (we’re talking mid-March people!). April was an insane month for me, tons of highs and lows, but it’s over now so I’m looking forward to making MAY an amazing month! There are a few great product launches at the end of the month that I’m excited about, and of course as summer is just around the corner I have an excuse to reignite my love affair with color (like I need an excuse). Also I’m going to keep up with my Ask Cora Series, product reviews, etc.-I’m back!
The concept for Lime Juice and Raspberries is one I keep forgetting to make a video about; I first shared the color story as an EOTD a year and a half ago! I was joking with my Twitter followers that this look is cursed, I’ve attemped filming it several times and each time something goes wrong! I really love this type of color combination, and the name just makes me crave an amazing blended Margarita! It’s 5 o’clock somewhere right?
Anyway here’s some pictures of the look along with what I used to create this color story.

This is gorgeous (as always). I’d like to request a tutorial (betcha never got one of those). I want to be Ursula the sea witch for Halloween and would love to see your take on it. I figured I’d ask now so you’d have plenty of time to think it over and possibly do it.
“You’ll have your looks, you’re pretty face! And don’t underestimate the importance of BODY language HA!”
Thanks! And the T2i looks great!

Hi Cora!
this look is amazing, very inspirational!
Look I now this is very annoying but I just started as a makeup artist and I see youtube as a very good door so people can see my work. So I put my first video there, just some photos of my own work and If you have a little time I would you like you to see. Not to you promote just tell me what do you think.

Hey Cora!
I saw this look posted on BFTE’s Facebook page yesterday (April 2, 2013) and I LOVE it, so I was inspired to recreate it and use all BFTE colors (cause I’m in love with Crystal’s entire collection). I gave you full credit when I posted the look, so I wanted you to see, too (link below)! Love your looks and your super personality. Thanks so much for all you do!
