Easy Eye Tutorial

Hi everyone :)

Last night I had a couple of friends over to my house for a chinese, drinks and a natter.
I didn't want my make up too flashy but I did want to play around beforehand. 
I decided to go with this easy eye look, which could be dressed up with different colours for going out with.

Here's what I used:
Products:
Eyes
Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden
MUA Eyeshadow - Shade 1- Pearl
FCUK Palette - 16th Colour (Dark Brown)
NYX Jumbo Pencil - Milk
FCUK Palette- 1st colour (Cream)
BeautyUK Palette - 6 - Black Shadow
Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara
MAC Studio Fix Powder


Face
Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum
Benefit Foundation Stick
Urban Decay Blusher in Fetish


Lips
Revlon Just Bitten in Frenzy
Bourjois Effet 3D in 29 


Brushes
Mac 217
Urban Decay Eyeshadow brush
MAC 266
Avon Powder Brush


As usual, start off by priming your eyes, making sure to take it all the way up to the brow bone because I also like to use as a concealer for my lids. 
Remember that a little goes along way!
Using my MAC 217, apply MUA Shade 1 all over the lid. 
Taking an angled eyeshadow brush, use the 16th colour in the FCUK Palette (sorry they have no names!) and apply this to the outer corner, blending into the crease. 


Apply Milk under the eyebrow:
Blend out with your finger, making sure you blend with the brown FCUK colour. Use a eyeshadow brush and apply the cream FCUK colour over this. 


Take an angled brush and starting from the middle of your lid, create a flick and bring it quite a way out and then down to the outer corner of your eye. Take it slowly, there's no rush. 

Add NYX Milk on the waterline and apply on the black onto the bottom lid, making sure to be thinner towards the middle. 
Put on your mascara, and false lashes if you wish.

Finish off by applying your choice of foundation, concealer and powder.
I'm putting Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain on my lips, with Bourjois lipgloss on top.

Finished look:




I hope you enjoyed this tutorial!

My Hairdying Adventure

Hii :)
So it's that time again for me to dye my hair. My hair is in desperate need, my roots are showing alot and it just makes my hair look so dull!
I usually dye my hair when my roots start to embarress me and pretty much when I generally can be bothered. I currently have red hair with a strip of orange at the front.
I've had a few different colours throughout the years: Red/Brown, blonde, pink, blackblue, blue, purple, red and orange.
I love people who have the confidence to have wacky hair colours, and just like make up, it shapes who you are as a person, pretty much for other people.

I know that you shouldn't make yourself look good for other people, but half the time when you're walking down the street, I atleast worry what people think when they look at me. Looking good and feeling great shapes what people see about you.

That girl you know who has bright green hair you think is loud and out there, but the girl with the mousy brown hair is really quite. That's the way I see it anyway.

I thought I'd do a post about what I use to get my hair the colour it is.
I use Schwarzkopf Live Color XXL in 35 Real Red over all my hair. I bleach a part of it using Jerome Russell Bblonde, using the blue Powder bleach highlift for light to dark brown hair and the purple cream peroxide. I go over this after it's been washed out with La Rich'e Directions in Mandarin.

I'd advise if you haven't coloured or bleached your hair before to do a test patch on your forearm or behind your ear before you start, just to be on the safe side. Having a reaction to hairdye can be quite nasty and it's better to be safe than sorry!
I'd also get someone to help you the first time you dye your hair, as it can be tricky to get it all over your hair!
