Eye Look #2: Teal Glitter!

    Another recent look by me. I was trying something new with my makeup, trying to add more colour into my looks as I'm not the biggest user of colours normally but I always like to keep doing different things. 

    I recently bought a couple of NYX Glittered Eyeliners, and one of those was a gorgeous Teal coloured liner. It looks absolutely amazing on all eye colours, probably mostly on brown eyes but sure my blue eyes will have to do. 

    Teal and Black, defo a combination I would never wear. First up, I placed one of my new shadows from Inglot, no.32, across my lid. I really packed on this colour so that the teal would come up super strong. I then blended this out with Mac's 'Swiss Chocolate', a rich caramelly brown colour which is what you see in the photo blended above my socket. This helps to act as a blending colour so that when I used the black shadow it makes it super easy to blend.
    I used Mac's 'Black Tied', a sparkly black (looks gorgeous as an eyeliner), and placed it in the outer third of of the socket blended upwards and towards the teal. You need to make sure that the black is blended nicely with the teal in the lid. The next step is to draw the liner, I used my normal Inglot 77 Gel liner in Black. I brought this into the waterline and smudged out 'Black Tied' under the eye.
    The final step was using the NYX Glittered Eyeliner on top of the no.32 teal shadow. I simply kept applying this until I was happy with the final product. This gives a gorgeous sparkle to the eyes and really finishes off the look!!

Glitter really changes the end product of eyeshadow. And also makes a nice change from just simple matte shadows!

What are your thoughts on this glittered look? Would you use glitter in you night time eyes?? Let me know what you think! :)

Eye Look #1: Mac's Smut! And Giveaway Winner!

 

    A simple and 'easy' look for a night out! Using 3 Mac Eyeshadows and Inglot's Gel Liner in Black, no. 77. A gorgeous look for blue eyes, really makes them pop. 

    Mac's Eyeshadow in 'Smut' is fast becoming a go-to Eyeshadow for any night out for me. A gorgeous rich, grey with purple flecks running through it, really makes any eyeshadow look pop. Looks gorgeous also when blending out eyeshadow under the eye. It is also a great alternative to black or brown when you want to use something new for a change.

                                      

    I placed 'Smut' along the socket line and on the outer third of the eye and using a Mac 217 and 224 blending brushes, lightly buffed out the edges the shadow. I then placed Mac's 'Kid' shadow, a gorgeous light ashy brown shadow,along the edge of the 'smut' shadow and blended out the edges again. This helps to make sure that the shadow fades away nicely, as I hate shadow that just abrupty ends. I then placed Mac's 'Brulee' eyeshadow on the lid and blended the two nicely together. Then Liner and Lashes and you are set for a night out.

    I chose to just bring 'Smut' under my eye with no liner but to make this a smokier look, simply add liner onto the waterline and blend out with shadow. Easy Peasy.

   Most people will ask how you do liner, the best answer I can give you is simply to practice. It is easy for me to give you steps but at the end of the day if you don't practice the art then you will never perfect it as it is not something that will come naturally!

Products Used; Liner, 'Smut', 'Kid' & 'Brule'.

    Has anyone else tried 'Smut'? What are your feelings on this?
Let me know if you would like to see a step-by-step photo look on this, if it would make it easier!! :)

'till next time!

I got new Mac...surprise, surprise.....HAUL!

    Just a quick share with you my new Mac products! Now, I have been good lately and not bought anything in Mac, so good in fact my lovely Mam treated me to these goodies....God, she is great!

     Three new shadows for my collection, a creme colour base and my first 217 blending brush (giddy with excitement about this brush...)

New Goodies!

The 3 shadows I got were;

1. Retrospeck; a sparkly light gold, gorgeous on the lid.
2. Espresso; a matte brown, perfect brown smokey eye colour.
3. Smut; a dirty grey/brown colour, love this, perfect when u want to add don't want to add black.

Creme colour base in Pearl. Absolutely gorgeous cream highlight. It is a light yellowy gold that blends down to a sheer white, love this, gives that perfect 'wet' face look. After this one, I definenetly want to try out the Creme Colour base in Hush. I love highlights, I think they are money well spent, especially in Summer.

Creme Colour Base in Pearl.

    And then my brush. I am so excited to use this. It has to be the most commonly used brush in all youtube beauty videos and blogs. I feel many more of these bad boys will be in my kit in the very near future....

    And that is it for this haul.....I am currently on a beauty spending ban...no more buying unnecessary makeup that I don't need but if someone else buys it for me I'm not going to say no....
