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 !

Halloween Madness (3 looks)

hello there lovelies !
how are you doing ? first of all, I'd like to excuse myself for not posting recently, but I've had loooooads of college work to do, but now I've a week off college (YES!) so I'll try my best to write as many posts as it's possible during this week :D and I promise you to be a good blogger and post regularly :D

anyway, today (technically tonight) I'd like to show you halloween looks that I created this year and I hope that I will inspire you to recreate it :D I love halloween, just because you can go crazy on the outfit, makeup, fake blood, contact lenses etc. It's the perfect time of year for those who love to dress up and be creative ! anything is allowed ;)
so first look that I've for you is the half face zombie girl, which honestly took me  half an hour to do. All I did was I mixed different shades of red, purple and brown and put them on the lid. Then I created the rottening skin-like scars with a paper towel and a eyelash adhesive !






















second look I created was the pop-art face :D which originally was meant to be a zombie, but I wasnt happy with the way it turned out, so I just ket going and finished it off by adding white spots all over my face, then used liquid eyeliner to contour my face as well as outlining my lips. simple but effective !


and lastly: something that I did tonight ! my friend asked me to transform her into a Harley Quinn, so I got pretty excited and in my opinion I did an awesome job, as both of us were happy with the final result :D
I got an inspiration, from an amazing youtuber Julia Graf (go check her out if you don't know who she is!)


I hope I helped you in some way ;) 
let me know what you think about it
byeeee
