Tutorial: Wearable Valentine's Look

Hi everyone,

So from my last Valentine's tutorial, I decided to post another look that is more wearable. Especially if you're going out for a meal or something.

As always, prime the eyes.

I then applied Urban Decay Virgin all over the eye.

I then added a small amount of Urban Decay Toasted to the crease, to add shadow and define.

I then added Illamasqua Berber to the bottom lid.

Make sure you pat this on to make sure you get maximum glitter!

I then added black eyeliner to the waterline and applied Avon Supershock mascara to both sets of lashes.

To make the look more dramatic, I then applied Rimmel in 500 Diva Red to the lips and a red Lancome Juicy Tube.

Hope you all have a lovely Valentine's!

Tutorial: Valentine's Eyes

February the 14th is fast approaching us, meaning that Valentine's Day will soon be here!

Whether your single, your spending the day or going out somewhere with your loved one, I thought I'd show you this Valentine's inspired look - Hope you like!


First of start by priming your eye.
Then add a white base (NYX Jumbo in Milk) all over your eye area.

I'm using my BeautyUK 6 Palette

Using an eyeshadow brush, apply pink all over your lid.

Take a small clean brush, and apply the pink/red to the outer corner.

Using the same brush, create a wing shape

Bring the colour down onto the bottom lash, about half the way flicking it towards the inner corner.

Using a clean brush, apply a white to the inner corner and on the eyebrow as highlight.
Apply black eyeliner to the top lash and white eyeliner to the bottom waterline.

Apply mascara, and some false eyelashes if you wish!

Et voilà! The finished look:

I also added some Bourjois Effet 3D in 29 on the lips.

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.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial!

Blue Winged Tutorial

Hi everyone :)
Another tutorial!
This time I decided to go with a blue and silver look. 


Okay, let's go!
I started by priming my lids (I'm using Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden) and blended all over with my finger. I then applied NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk on my lids, inner corner and under my eyebrow, this part doesn't have to be too neat so don't worry. Again I'm blending out with my finger.  
I'm now taking my Urban Decay 24/7 eye pencil in Binge, and drawing myself an winged shape from my inner corner, a little above my crease and then down onto my bottom lash.

Again no way does this need to be neat, we're just making our shape at the moment. I'm now using the same pencil, colour in that shape we just created. You should have something that looks like this below (and yes, it more than likely will look messy and awful, don't fret! This is just a base)

I'm now taking an eyeshadow brush, and going for the silver colour, applying this all over the blue winged we have just created, patting it on rather than brushing to get more coverage.

I'm then taking a small angled brush, and picking up a dark blue, go over the top of the winged eye, blending out the edges as you go. 
The best way to do this is to apply the eyeshadow and then push up slightly with the brush. Now taking a fluffy eyeshadow brush and blend blend blend.

I'm now taking a the other side of the eyeshadow brush, and using a white or a creamy coloured shadow, apply this under the eyebrows as a highlight.
Moving onto the bottom lid, I'm taking the Urban Decay Pencil in Binge and apply this into my waterline and also on my lashes. Take the angled brush and use the same blue eyeshadow to cover, taking it up into the wing again to make a line. Take the same white/cream highlight colour and apply this directly under the line aswell.

Apply some black eyeliner on the lid, and also some mascara, and false eyelashes if you wish (I really need to get myself some quick!)

Apply your foundation, and concealer under the eyes and anywhere else. I'm powdering my face with MAC Studio Fix on my t-zone, nose, and chin.
For blush I'm using Urban Decay cream blush in Fetish. 


On the lips I'm going to use Rimmel Lipstick in 200 Latino and a Lancome Juicy tube in Fraise (I think!)

Tadahh, the finished look:

I really hope you enjoyed this tutorial!

Funky Pink and Purple Eye Makeup Tutorial

Hii :)
I decided to post up a tutorial for a look I was thinking of doing using my new products from the Glossybox I got today. Read my review of it here.


These are the products I used:

But you can use anything you fancy, or atleast have had hand.

Okay, so let's get started!
You want to start off by priming your lid, I'm using Urban Decay Primer Potion (that I got with my NAKED palette), but you use whatever you like best. I placed a little of this on each lid, and blend with my ring finger. 
I then took my NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk, placing it all over the lid as my shadow base. 
I also put it under my eyebrows and also in my tearduct, to brighten up my eyes, again blending with my ring finger.

Taking an eyeshadow brush (I used one from Avon), I picked up the pink eyeshadow from the Blink+Go palette and placed it in the middle of my lids. 

Using the other side of the brush, I picked up the purple eyshadow from the palette and appled to the outer corners of my eye, blending into the crease. I took an angled brush, using the purple eyeshadow making myself a flick from the top of the crease down on the bottom lash.

With the angled brush, I took the pink and place that on the bottom lash, directly under the pink on the top lash. 

I then took a clean eyeshadow brush (Again another of the same from Avon) and picked up the white/silver colour in the palette, applying this to the inner corner of my eye, making sure to cover the empty top lid, where the tearduct is and the bottom lash. 

I then used a black eyeshadow (from my beautyUK palette) with an angled brush (but you can use your favourite black liquid liner or gel liner) and lined my top lashes. I used a black eyeliner to line my waterline. 

Add a ton of your favourite black mascara (I used Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara) or even add some big false lashes (I don't have any at the mo, boo!) to finish off the eyes. You could also go ahead and fill in your eyebrows too if you would like.

Apply your foundation (I used Bourjois healthy mix serum), conceal under your eyes (I just use a benefit foundation stick because I like the coverage and apply it with my ring fingers) and on any other blemishes that need a cover (I usually conceal on the top of my nose and on my nostrils, plus on any red patches and cheeky spots)


Apply a nice light pink blush to the cheeks (I'm using the light pink from my Blink+Go Palette)


Apply some lipgloss (I'm using Cargo Lipgloss in Paris, from my glossybox), I think a pinky colour would be perfect with this look.

Use a bit of powder to stop any shine and to seal in your foundation (I used MAC Studio Fix)


And tadahh, here is the finish look:

I really hope you enjoyed this, and I'm hoping to make a lot more of these in the near future!
