Eye Makeup Tutorial: Mystic Blue Night

What I used:

Sleek Storm Palette

Blue Heaven Kajal

Maybelline Colossal Mascara

Models Own Angled Brush

Models Own Blending Brush  

1. Using an angled brush, dip the end into a gold eyeshadow and line the top lash line.

2. Using the same bush, pick up some light blue eyeshadow and create a line above the gold.

3. Continue the previous step using a slightly darker blue.

4. Next take a black eyeshadow- I used the standard matte black that comes in the Sleek Palettes and again create another line above the previous one.

Note: The width of the lines depends on your eye shape, ideally the black should be place somewhat near the crease.

5. Wing out each of the shadows slightly, and line your water line and tight line. 

6. If you want a less drastic look, then blend out and harsh edges to create a more subtle look.

Apply mascara and finish of your face makeup.

And this is the finished look...

Eyestudio Diamond Glow Quad Review

Hi everyone :)

today I wanted to do a really quick review on something that I've been really enjoying recently. I've had the Maybelline quad in coral drama in my collection for some time now however since spring has just started were I live, I've recently started using it again.

The quad contains a shimmery vanilla highlight, a sort of golden peach lid colour, a gorgeous coral shadow and a golden chocolate brown shade.

I'm pleased to say that all the eyeshadows are fairly pigmented- the coral and brown shadow more so that the other two.

They also have a lovely soft texture and are very easy to blend to create a beautiful everyday look. 

My only criticism is with the two lighter shades. The highlight is way to shimmery for my liking. I personally prefer matte highlights so of course I wasn't going to like this one; but I guess this is all down to personal preference. I also found that the lid colour doesn't go on evenly which is really frustrating because It's so pretty (maybe I have a defective pallet?)

Although I've had problems with the highlight and lid shadows, I'm glad I brought this quad. The coral and brown eyeshadows are super pretty and I love the overall look this quad creates. A definite staple in my spring makeup must haves. 

Pink Rocker

Hi everyone :)

This is my attempt at a dramatic girly makeup look that I created a few months ago. It's extremely bold and not very wearable for a normal day. However I think it would be a beautiful, unique party look. So I hope you all like the look.

Start off by applying your foundation and concealer (I used my usual Revlon Colourstay foundation/concealer)

Apply a base/ or primer onto your eyelids, this will help the colours pop.

Use a flat eyeshadow brush and apply a bright pink matte eyeshadow onto your entire eye lid, extend it into the crease and take some onto your lower lash line. 

Using another flat eyeshadow brush, take Barry M's dazzle dust in 44 Bronze and pat it around the edge of the pink eyeshadow, Blend the two colours together ever so slightly

Using a blending brush, apply a black eyeshadow into the outer "v", again blend the black into the pink.

  Line your waterline and tight line with a black eyeliner, I used Blue Heaven Kajal. Go on to line your top lash line with a black liquid eyeliner (You can also use a felt tip or gel liner, basically anything that will create a solid black line), I used the Beauty UK liquid liner (I hate this product but I don't have the heart to throw it away without using it up). Finally for the eyes, put on your false lashes, I used the false lashes from Wilkinsons- they were only £1 :)

Next apply a pink toned blush onto the apples of your cheeks.

Finally, apply a pink toned lipstick, I used Barry M's lip paint in 145 Punky Pink 

And your done :)

Glee Eyeshadow pallet swatches :)

Late last year I purchased the Glee eyeshadow pallet; at £1.50 they aren't bad eyeshadows (however they aren't amazing. As you can see from the swatches below they are fairly pigmented especially the bottom row, however the tan shade (top row, second from the left) doesn't seem to go on evenly on my eyelids and they all seem to be quiet powdery but this can be resolved by applying them wet. Other than that these are pretty good shadows and I'm looking forward to using this pallet in my upcoming looks :)
