Bronze Slutry Eyes

Hey,

This look is easy and so pretty for a night out this summer. It is using one palette and just a few other products. The palette used for this look was the Ooh La Lace palette by Lorac, it is a great palette for both day and night looks, it comes with six baked shadows, enough about the palette, but if you would like to know more about it I have a review on it which you can see here.
 
What I used:
  • Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden
  • Lorac Ooh La Lace palette, all shades excepts the gray
  • Rimmel Scandal Eyes Kohl Liner in Brown
  • Avon Glimmersticks Diamonds in Flashy Copper
  • ELF Liquid Eyeliner in Black
  • Random unknown mascara
What I did:

  1. Primed my eyes with UD Primer Potion, I set this with my face powder
  2. Lined my eyes with the brown liner and put a little in the outer v, I then blended this out with my finger.
  3. I packed the brown from the palette over the liner then blended it out into the crease. I also smoked it out on my lash line.
  4. I added more brown to the outer v and crease till it was as dark as I wanted.
  5. I dabbed my brush very lightly into the black then blended this into my outer v, just the littlest black, I didn't want it to look like there was any black but just darken up the outer v without using any other palettes or single shadows.
  6. I patted on the bronze shade to my lid and blended the edges, I also took this slightly into the inner part of my crease.
  7. I highlighted under my brow and made sure all edges were blended out with the lightest shade in the palette.
  8. I lined my lower lash line, tight and water line with the brown liner, leaving the inner corner and very inner third clean. I lined the inner third with the copper liner.  
  9. I set all the liners with coordinating colors and blended the brown liner out.
  10. I lined my top lash line with the liquid liner and applied a few coats of mascara.
  11. Lastly I cleaned up the edges, applied concealer, and did my eyebrows.

Neutral Cut Crease

Sorry for the messy mascara on the lower
lash line, this is a normal part of my daily
makeup, mascara in places it doesn't belong!
Hey,

This week I was really feeling the neutrals, but I did want to try something different. I went with a wearable cut crease look that is great for day time. I used a total of seven different products to create this look.

What I used:
  • Rimmel Scandal Eye Eyeliners in Brown and Nude
  • Maybelline Single in Made for Mocha
  • Urban Decay Naked Basics palette, I used W.O.S., Faint, Naked 2, Foxy, and Venus
  • ELF Liquid Liner
  • Random mascara, sorry I really don't remember the name of it

First I cut the crease, through my crease I just drew a line with the brown eyeliner. I did this as neatly as possibly. You really just want to outline your crease. I then blended that out with the Maybelline single, which is a dark brown. I continued to blend my crease out with Faint and then over that mainly around the edges I used Naked 2. I then highlighted under my brown with foxy. After I finished the crease I used the nude liner as a base on my lid and inner corner, I used W.O.S. over that and Venus as my inner corner highlight. Using the brown liner again I smudged this along my lash line and then blended it out again with the Maybelline single for a more smokey look. I went over the edges of that with W.O.S. to blend it out as much as possible. I then lined my lower lash line and waterline and tight line, except for the inner corner. I set this along with blending it out with yet again that Maybelline single. I did a thin line of liquid liner on my top lid and then a quick coat of mascara on both top and bottom lashes.

Side note if you see this single I really suggest it, its pigmented and a great cheap single that I find is great for darkening up any look!


Do you rock the cut crease?

ETOD: Easter

Hey,

Happy Easter, today I did something light and simple. I Incorporated color in for spring and Easter by using a light purple on the lid and some pale pink on the inner corner.

Products used:
Avon Eight in One palette in Water Colors, pale pink and the two purple shades
Maybelline single in Made for Mocha
Coastal Scents 42 Double Matte palette, white and mid tone brown
Urban Decay Primer Potion Eden
ELF Liquid Eyeliner
L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes mascara
Rimmel Lycra Lash Extender mascara
I used a matte mid tone brown through my crease and then a matte dark brown in my outer v, I put a satin light purple all over the lid and a little bit of a shimmery darker purple on the outer lid. I highlighted under the brow with a matte white and the inner corner with a satin pink. I did a fairly thin line of liquid liner on the top lash line. I used the dark brown on the outer lower lash line and the light purple on the inner, I blended the two together with the mid tone brown. I applied my mascara, length and then volume. I of course primed my lid before doing all of this.

I paired this with a pale pink lip and cheek. I also contoured and highlighted like I normally do. Personally I love this look and will probably recreate throughout spring and summer, even trying with different colors. I uploaded an Easter NOTD today too, you can check that out here.
