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!

219

Now blend blend blend using a 224 brush until all harsh lines are eliminated.

Apply a highlight shade - MAC Shroom, your favourite mascara and eyeliner and the look is complete ;)

Step by Step Smokey eye tutorial using Manly pallet.

To begin use a black/grey base to keep the eyeshadow in place since the shadow's i'll be working with tend to cause fall out. Here I am using Sephora Jumbo eye pencil in Grey. I applied it allover my lid and took it up to the crease and used my finger to blend since this product is creamy and using a brush will cause it to streak.

Next step is to choose a dark grey colour and pat it on with a flat brush, remember to use plenty of this eyeshadow since what we are creating is dramatic. Apply to the crease as well and to lower lash line.




Taking a silver/light grey shade pack the colour onto the inner corners and stop halfway through the lid, use a blending brush to blend any harsh lines. I have also applied a creamy highlight colour to the brow bones.




Now that you have done all the above steps your look is complete, just remember to fill in your brows since thick, defined brows are an essential step to achieving this dark Smokey Arabic eye. Go on and apply your favourite mascara too and enjoy the look :)

Here is a variation to the smokey eye, here I have applied a hot pink colour on top of the black in the crease as this help to soften the pink a little yet keep it dramatic!

You might like to try applying a highlight to your cheek bones and a soft pink blush but don't go overboard because it'll be too much for this look! See you soon ;)

Neutral Eye

Products used:

MAC Painterly Paint Pot
MAC Woodwinked

MAC Bronze
MAC Satin Taupe

MAC Naked Lunch
Sephora Nano Liner 15

Benefit Bad Gal Lash

So here's another look that I tried out, this time it's warmer and more wearable. This can be worn to work, school but also for a party. It is very simple, you begin by applying your base (Painterly Paintpot) then "Woodwinked" eyeshadow goes allover the lid along with Satin Taupe in the outer corner and try to wing it out while blending to make your eyes appear bigger. Now take "Bronze" to warm up the look by applying it not on top of "Satin Taupe" but in between that and "Woodwinked" so really in the centre of your lid. Now take "Naked lunch" and apply it to your brow bone and inner corners to brighten your eyes and notice that with this look I have gone for a darker highlight since we are using darker colours and by applying a softer colour the look becomes more wearable. Last of all apply your eyeliner, try brown, and apply your favourite mascara :) good luck!

Heres a look I tried using the following products:

MAC Painterly Paint Pot

BarryM Dazzle Dust in 75
MAC Sweet & Punchy

MAC Trax
MAC Shroom

Estee Lauder Sumptuous Mascara

Sephora nano eyeliner pencil in 15

I first applied BarryM "Dazzle Dust" allover my lid, but be careful since this product can be a bit messy! Then I took "Sweet & Punchy" and applied it from the inner corner of my eyes to the middle of my lid, using a 217 brush i blended the two colours so no harsh lines can be seen. Following that I took "Trax" and created a V shape in my outer corner but since this product is quite dark i used my 217 to blend again, keep blending until you are satisfied with the colour intensity. Taking "Shroom" eyeshadow I highlighted my brow bone and inner corners to brighten up the look. To make the eyes more dramatic I used Sephora nanoeyeliner in 15 on my water line and tight line, this will make your lashes appear thicker. Finally I used Estee Lauder Sumptuous mascara, only one coat since this product tends to get clumpy. Hope you enjoyed this look and give it a try :)
