My reviews and looks

Oldies!

These are some looks that I have done AGES ago but I thought I'd share them with you :)

EOTD Megan Fox inspired

Megan Fox inspired eye:

Apply gel liner to top and bottom lash line then before it dries quickly take a brush and smudge upwards to create a lift in the eyes. Now take a grey eyeliner and put it on top of the gel liner and smudge again however leaving it more defined this time. Take a grey eyeshadow of your choice and apply over the grey eyeliner (try to use one that has a little sparkle). To add definition I applied a neutral skin toned shadow to the crease and blended and don't forget to highlight!

Go ahead apply mascara and make sure to fill in those brows! Hope you enjoyed :)

Tips & Tricks

Here are a few tips and tricks to help create the look you want. This will only create an illusion which is great because it can be done at home and by only changing your application methods.

Lashes - When curling, curl in 3 stages. This will make them look fuller and curlier

Eyebrow's - If you are trying to achieve a higher arch while filling in your brows then arch your brows while applying as when you relax them after filling they should stay the same way.

Eyelid's - If you have a big distance between your lash line and brows, apply the crease colour and take it higher than normal. This will create an illusion of your lid being smaller. Doing so in reverse will make small lids appear bigger

Cheeks - To make your cheek bones appear higher then apply your blush higher up and focus on the part near your hair line, do not apply nearer the nose or it'll make them look droopy.

Lips - For fuller lips apply your lip liner just outside your natural lip line then use the same pencil to fill in the lips followed by lipstick.

Concealer - To cover spots do not apply a light coloured concealer, this will only make them appear more red and more noticeable, therefore choose a shade that is exactly your skin colour or one shade darker. Then apply powder on top.

Hope this helps!

Bronze and Beautiful - Green eyes part 2

Here is another green eyes look that is more wearable. It is easy, quick and only uses 3 colours, the trick here is blending.

As before apple a base before applying your eyeshadow.
Then take a flat brush and apple MAC "Bronze" allover the lid and stop at the crease. Don't worry if it looks messy at this stage

To add dimension to your eyes apply a more grey toned brown to your crease to create depth. Here I used MAC Satin Taupe and blended until there is only a soft layer left.
Apply highlight shade, MAC Naked Lunch, mascara and eyeliner and your good to go. Wear it to work, school or a night out, anyway it will look great :)

Make up for Green eyes

All brushes used are Sigma and were bought with my own money.

If you don't know already, purple compliments brown eyes and especially green eyes. By using purple you bring out the green more and your eyes will look more vibrant.

Follow this tutorial to achieve this look :)

Begin by applying a base -

MAC Painterly

The next step is applying you lid colour-MAC

Trax

using a 239 brush

Now choose a deep purple colour for the crease. Take the colour and make a V shape in the outer corner of your eyes, remember to apply to bottom lashes as well!
