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...

FOTD: Glam Plum



A few days ago I sat down to film another video for my channel, unfortunately since i'm still new to the  whole filming set up/lighting thing the final video wasn't something I wanted to put out there. Its a shame because I was actually really proud of the look I created. I took a few photos at the end which I didn't want to go to waste, so I thought an FOTD (Face of the day) would be a good idea for this weeks post. 





What I used:

Foundation: MyFace Foundation (Mixed with Olay Beauty Fluid) (Full Review)
Concealer: Sleek "Hide It" concealer with MyFace Concealer over the top 
Cheeks: Sleek Contour Kit, Light
Eyes: MUA Primer (Review coming shortly)
Eyeshadow: Maybelline Eye Studio EyeShadow Quad (Full Review)
Estee Lauder Pure Colour EyeShadow, 26 Iridescent Violet
Estee Lauder Pure Colour EyeShadow, 09 Amethyst Spark 
Eyeliner: Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Liner, 01 Black
17 Soft Liner, Soft Jet
Barry M Intense Black Eyeliner Pen
Mascara: Maybelline Volume Express Colossal Waterproof Mascara, Glam Black
Lips: Estee Lauder Kissable LipShine, 02 Maui Kiss




Let me know what you think, thanks for reading :)

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.
