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 !

October Favourites !

hello there lovelies ! 

how you doing guys ? I am doing just fine, though the weather is horrible and I've looooads of notes to go through for college on monday. Anyway, today I want to show you my favourite makeup products that I have been using over the past month, which was October. I can't believe it's over and now we're in this miserable month of November. The past month was amazing for many different reasons: it was my 20th birthday, there was different nights out and of course halloween :D So let's get into it straight away:

so here are my thoughts of these products:

1. Urban Decay De-Slick Makeup Setting Spray

: as I mentioned before in my posts I struggle with really oily and acne-prone skin, therefore I am always on a hunt for products that will help me to fight these unwanted oils, and this time I got myself something that really works. I got this Urban Decay spray as the woman on the counter said that she also has a oily skin and it really works. I got myself a travel-size bottle which was only 12 euro, and I was really enthusiastic about this product and it really works ! I spray my whole face with it once I've done my makeup and it keeps it in place really well, it mattifies my skin and it feels very light on the skin. It also does not have any scent to it, so for me it was perfect. I totally recommend it and I will definitely re-purchase this amazing product ! 

2. Sleek Makeup Contour Kit in Light 

This is not the first time when I bought this product, however I didn't have it for few months because I lost it, and now it was a right time to but it again. It's a warm-toned, matte contour powder and a powder highlighter which I use to contour my cheekbones, sides of my nose and around my hairline and temples. Sleek makeup is affordable brand, which has very pigmented products so the pay-off is amazing ! only 7,99 euro on their website. Totally recommend it. 

3. NYC Liquid Eyeliner 

wow, I don't even know where to start with this one ! I bought it because I have seen one of my favourite youtubers (Chrisspy) using it so it was a time for me to get it ! It's really cheap, the brush is amazing and it applies super easy. Perfect for creating cat-eye looks. Go and buy it if you haen't already !

4. Revlon Colorbust Lip Butter - Juicy Papaya 

I popped into boots to get a neutral lipstick for everyday look and this one cought my eye ! These lip butters from Revlon are so creamy, so moisturing and omg, they smell amazing :D I couldn't decide which one to get, but I ended up buying this lovely, peachy - orange color which smells delicious and the name is so summery ! I think I got it for 8,20 euro as it was on sale, but the usual selling price is 11,20 ! totally recommend these and definitely will be buying some more colours !

5. Maybelline Color Show Nail Polish - 77 Nebline. 

I bought this nail varnish spontaneously, but I was looking for a pastel/baby pink nail polish in ages, and I decided to buy this one as one of my friend recommended it to me :D It glides on really well, dries quickly, colour is adorable and again it's affordable (only 4,55 euro) 

6. Barry M Nail Paint - 355 Gold Mine 

I am going to cheat a little bit, because i bought it in August, but I wore this nail varnish throughout the month of October. Barry M makes amazing nail polishes, as they have gelly-like consistency therefore they are easy to apply, they don't chip and they have an amazing range of different colours and effects. I got this black one with gold glitter, because I thought it will look great on a night out as well as on everyday, especially in this horrible rainy weather. I can't remember the price, but I believe it was about 6 euro. 

so these are my October favourites. What products have you been using over the past month ?
