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 ?

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

Halloween Tutorial: Leopard Cat Makeup

hello there lovelies !

how are you doing ? today, I've got for you the look that spontaneously created on Thursday, but unfortunately I didn't take step-by-step photos :( but.. don't worry :D I'll talk you through it.
I created a wild-cat (leopard I think) makeup within 20 minutes, and I think that it looks impressive.
so let's start it :D

so here's the list of products and step by step tutorial:

1. Apply foundation of your choice. I used Rimmel Match Perfection in the shade 200 Soft Beige. and I applied it all over my face using makeup sponge to get a flawless finish. 

2. then I highlighter my face, by using light colour concealer from Collection in the shade Light. I applied it heavily underneath my eyes, my forehead, my chin, the bridge of the nose and a bit under my cheekbones. 

3. Next I contoured my face using my NYC Sun 2 Sun Bronzing Powder. I contoured my cheekbones, my forehead, sides of the nose and a bit around the chin, just to make it appear smaller. 

4. Once I got that done, I moved on to cover up my eyebrows. I used a glue stick to do it, and then applied concealer on the top of it, to cover it up. It takes quiet a lot of time, but you can see the difference. 

5. Here's where the fun starts. I used my Maybelline Gel Liner, to draw in my heavy, black eyebrows, as well as the tip of my nose, my lips and ''moustache''. 

6. Then it was time for the eyes, I used few brown shades from my Coastal Scents palette, as well as black eyeshadow to create a winged out look, so its a cat eye :D then i used my Maybelline liner to line my waterliner and do a winged out eyeliner on the top lid. 

7. The last thing that I did was to set everything with powders. For the highlighted parts of my face I used really light powder from Avon, which is brilliant in my opinion :D and for the rest of my face I used my holy grail powder from Collection in the shade: medium. 

and that't it :D

do you like it ? would you wear it for halloween ?

Halloween Tutorial: Bloody Mary

hello there lovelies !

I know it's early, but today I've got for you super easy, but effective (in my opinion) halloween tutorial :D

this will take you 20 minutes max and it's good for those with no idea for a halloween costume :D

so here is the finished look :D

and now onto the step-by-step tutorial:

1. start off with the eyes, because you're going to be using dark eyeshadow so it will get kind of messy :D

2. apply red cream eyeshadow or eyeshadow base to your lid, but if you don't have it, don't worry :D I've used deep red lipstick 

3. set the cream eyeshadow/lipstick with a burgundy red eyeshadow, so that it's more vibrant and it stays in place.

4. define your crease with a warm brown eyeshadow, going all the way in, slightly blending into the brow bone 

5. define the crease even more with a mixture of dark brown and black eyeshadows, this will add more depth to the eyes, and also will darken them up, which is what you want 

6. apply the same dark brown and black eyeshadow into the lower lid to make it more dramatic

7. once your eyes are done, apply foundation of your choice, set it with a light powder to make your skin look pale 

8. use dark bronzer and a bit of red eyeshadow to contour your face

9. and now it's the fun time: use fake blood of your choice (you can buy it in a costume shop cheaply and it will last you forever) and using a cotton bud apply it to the lower lid and let it flow down.

10. tease your hair a bit and put some red eye conctacts to make it even more dramatic :D (i just coloured in my eyes in Paint haha)

hope you like it :)

Deep Purple and Orange Shimmer Makeup Tutorial

hello there lovelies !

So today I've got for you super smokey, deep purple and a bit of shimmery orange makeup tutorial, which I got inspiration from ChrisspyMakeup, who does awesome and dramatic makeup looks and I couldn't wait to recreate it.

so let's start :

1. Start with the eyeshadow base to even out the skin tone and to help eyeshadow last longer.

2. Apply off-white eyeshadow to the brow bone to highlight it just a bit, and then add orangy color into the crease, slightly blending it up towards the brow bone. 

3. Apply medium brown eyeshadow to the crease of an eye. This adds definition to the eyes.

4. Apply purply-brown'ish eyeshadow onto the top of the preious eyeshadow, but also bring it down the both corners of an eye.

5. Apply deep purple matte eyeshadow on the top of the previous color, to add more definition and to deepen up the color. 

6. Apply the deep purple eyeshadow into the lower lid, all the way in, slightly blending it out. 

7. Apply some liquid eyeliner to the top, slightly wing it out, so it looks more smokey. Add few coats of mascara and you're done.

burgundy and a bit of gold makeup tutorial

hello there lovelies !

today I have got some old tutorials of mine, but Autumn is coming soon, so I've decided to show you my version of fall makeup. Whenever I think of Autumn, I think of warm colours such as reds, browns, goldens and deep purples, so here is what you can recreate at home by following these 8 simple steps. 

1. start of with some eyeshadow base to even out the skin tone and to make sure that the eyeshadow stays in place and that it won't crease. 

2. apply deep burgundy shadow into the crease, by going 2/3 the way in. 

3. gently blend out the colour so that, there's no harsh lines.

4. re-apply the same colour into the crease, blending at the same time.

5. apply darker burgundy/purple colour into the outer corner of an eye, so that it adds more definition into the eyes and makes it more smokey. 

6. gently blend it into the previous colour. 

7. apply light golden colour to the inner corner as well as to the middle of the eyelid, and then blend it in with the burgundy colour, so that again, there's no harsh lines. 

8. mix the burgundy and deeper burgundy/purple eyeshadow together, and apply it to the lower lid all the way in. Then apply some liquid eyeliner to the top and slightly wing it out so it's more smokey. 

then once all of it is done, apply mascara to the top and the bottom lashes and it's done :)
