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 :)

Sleek Tutorial #4: Natural eyes

This is my next look using the sleek storm pallet. I've done a lot of very dramatic looks and so I thought it was a time to do something a little more natural and wearable. Hope you like it :)


What did I used:
- Revlon colourstay foundation 
- Revlon colourstay concealer 
- Primer
- Helena Rubinstein pink blush 
- Revlon super lustrous lipstick in 105 Persian coral
- Sleek Storm Pallet
- 17 eyeliner pen in soft jet
- Blue Heaven Kajal in black
- Eyelash curler
- Maybelline colossal mascara 
- Eye Shadow brush
- Pencil brush
- Angled brush
- Blending brush
- Blush brush


First apply a foundation and concealer of your choice

Next prime your eyelids- I used a home made primer made for moisturiser and foundation.

Using a flat eye shadow brush, pat the gold eye shadow (1) onto your entire lid.


Using a pencil brush, apply the dark brown eye shadow (2) onto the outer V.


Next pick up some of the matte nude eye shadow (3) onto a blending brush and blend out any harsh edges, also use the same brush to blend the gold and brown into each other. 


With the same dark brown shade, line the outer half of the bottom lash line with an angled brush. 

Line you top lash line; winging it out at the end, and line you're water/tight line.


Curl your lashes and apply two coats of mascara.


Finally, sweep a soft pink blush over cheeks and apply a coral lipstick.
