4. once you have your shape, colour in the entire lips with the red lipstick, leaving the centre blank

5. to the blank spot, apply coral lipstick, blending in the edges to the red lipstick.

6. then apply a dot of concealer to the centre of the lip and then blend it in by rubbing lips together

St. Patrick's Day Makeup Tutorial

hello there lovelies !

as St. Patrick's Day aka Paddy's Day is just around the corner, I thought it's a great opportunity to show you what I came up with. Paddy's Day is all about fun, celebrating being Irish, wearing something green and in general just having fun. I posted this picture on my facebook page as well as instagram, and I promised to do a tutorial on it. Let's get crackin's, shall we ?

finished look

step by step:

1. Apply eyeshadow base onto your lid, as it prevents the eyeshadow from creasing. I also did my brows, as I usually do and applied some concealer to define my brows.

2. Sweep soft brown, slightly shimmery eyeshadow above the crease. This will be the transition shade and it will help with blending the eyeshadows later on.

3. On a flat brush, apply lime-green eyeshadow to the entire lid, softly blending in out to towards transition colour.

4. On a soft, blending brush, apply deep, matte green colour to the crease of an eye, blending upwards. Also, apply it to the outer corner of an eye to create more smokey effect.

5. Re-apply the same eyeshadow to intensify the colour.

6. Next, apply the same green eyeshadow to the outer corner of a lower lid. To the inner corner, apply the same colour that you used on the lid. 

7. Finish it off with winged eyeliner, and few coats of mascara. 

you can also add some false lashes. 

what are your plans for St. Patrick's Day ?

Valentine's Day Makeup Tutorial

hello there lovelies !

how you guys doing ? I am super super busy with college as I've few projects and assignments due next month etc. but anyway I found some time to do a tutorial for you. I didn't know what exactly should I do for you guys, and then I thought Valentine's Day is coming up so it's a great opportunity to show you my version of it.
As I'v been talking to my male friends, I know for fact that they prefer a healthy glowing skin and minimum makeup rather than a completely matte heavy foundation that gives an appearance of a mask.. I came up with the idea of dark, yet subtle smokey eye and healthy, glowing, highlighted skin.
If you think it's not suitable for Valentine's Day, you can still wear it on a night out.

So here's the finished look. (photos taken with flash)

onto the tutorial:

1. Apply some eyeshadow primer so the eyeshadow stays in place all night. 

2. With a fluffy brush (I used sigma E40) sweep some soft brown eyeshadow in the crease of an eye and blend it up towars the brow bone. 

3. Apply some shimmery, metallic eyeshadow to the entire lid. and softly blend out the edges. 

4. Then, apply some deep purple matte eyeshadow into the crease as well as the outer corner of the eye. This will give it more smokey effect. 

5. Mix both the metallic and purple shadow and apply it with a small brush onto the lower lid. Then apply some black liquid eyeliner very close to the lashes. This makes the eyelashes look fuller. 

6. Apply a bit of shimmery light eyeshadow to the tear-duct of your eye. This makes your eyes look bigger and brighter. Then apply your favourite mascara to the top and bottom lashes. 

then I applied Ardell Demi Wispies lashes as they look very natural, and yet they make your eyes look amazing. 

skin:

I applied Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation in the colour soft beige with a foundation brush. 

Then I contoured my face with Sleek Contour Kit in Light 

and then I applied some shimmery eyeshadow as a highlighter on the top of the cheekbones, the tip of the nose and brow bone. 

I didn't set my face with a powder as I wanted it to stay dewy and glowy. 

then I padded some peachy lipgloss onto my lips uisng my finger.

I hope you guys liked it !

have a good weekend and lovely Valentine's Day !

Copper and Brown makeup ! for all eye colours

hello there lovelies !

so, as you know I have brown eyes, and I usually do makeup that would suit my eye colour, and people ask me very often if I could do something that would suit green and blue eyes. So today, I did coppery and brown makeup, which suits all eye colours, including brown, blue and green eyes. 

this is the finished look:

now follow these steps to recreate it:

1. Start off with an eyeshadow base, which helps eyeshadow last longer and it prevents the eyeshadow from creasing. 

2. Use slightly shimmery eyeshadow to highlight your brow bone, and inner corner of an eye. I used the powder highlighter from Sleek Contour Kit. 

3. Sweep soft, warm, brown eyeshadow above your crease, this will act as a transition colour and it will help to blend out the darker colour later. 

4. Now use dark brown matte eyeshadow to define your crease. This will deepen the eye, and also it will make the eye look more smokey. 

5. Then, apply coppery/orangy shimmery colour to the entire lid. 

6. Next, draw a thin line along the lashes, and slightly wing it out. 

7. Mix the two brown, matte eyeshadow that you used before, and apply them to the lower lid with a fluffy brush. 

8. Use waterproof eyeliner to line your waterline, and then use a bit of black eyeshadow to smoke it out.

9. Apply as many coats of your favourite mascara as you want to the top and bottom lashes, and you're done :D

Matte Black & Purple Pigment Makeup Tutorial

hello there lovelies !

as I promised, I am here today with a black smokey eye tutorial.

if you want to create this look, simply follow these 8 steps. 

1. First of all, apply some eyeshadow base to your eyelid, all the way to the brow bone. This prevents the eyeshadow from creasing and makes the colours more vibrant. I used Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion. 

2. Using soft brown eyeshadow, define your crease by softly applying the eyeshadow using fluff brush. This will act as a transition colour and it will help you to blend out the black eyeshadow later on. 

3. Apply matte, black eyeshadow to the entire eyelid. 

4.  Blend out the edges using the same fluffy brush that you used before, so that there no harsh lines. 

5. Apply the same soft brown eyeshadow to the lower lid. Then use waterproof eyeliner on your waterline. 

6. Blend the eyeliner using black eyeshadow on a very small brush, so that you can get very close to the lashes. 

7. If you want you can leave it like that, or you can add some purple pigment to the centre of an eyelid. I used Essence pigment in the number 023. Very affordable and they're just amazing ! 

8. Apply liquid eyeliner along the top lashes, and wing it out slightly so it's more like a cat-eye effect. 

Apply few coats of mascara to the top and bottom lashes, and then if you want you can add some falsies ! 

and there you have it, very simple, but effective black smokey eye ;) suits all eye colours and it's great for a night out :D

hope you like it !
