Smokey Devil Eyes Tutorial

Start with a more sticky primer, apply it over the entire lid 

Use a big brush and the highlighter shadow and apply it just under the brow.

Use a blending brush and draw a "C" shape over the crease using a medium tone shadow 

Now it should look like this

Don't draw the "C" too far back, you want to stop where the eye ends!

Start from the outer corner of the eye and dab the dark loose eyeshadow on but not all the way to the inner corner of the eye

Use a smaller brush and make sure to saturate the primer so it won't crease 

Blend it in, thoroughly

Now it should look like this

Use a medium size brush and dab a light loose eyeshadow on, starting from the inner corner of the eye and stop approximately just before the middle

Use more of the lighter eyeshadow and go further than the middle if you want to keep it lighter

Time to darken it a bit more using a black eye pencil

For a lighter look, don't draw the eye pencil all they way, stop where you want.

Draw it thoroughly as a eyeliner

Make sure you really get in between the lashes 

Take the loose darker eyeshadow and dap it on the eye pencil to make it blend in 

Take some dark loose eyeshadow on the eyeliner as well

Two coats of your favorite volume mascara

Now, you got yourself a couple of nice smokey eyes!

This is a perfect look that goes with every occasion and if you want a more daring look just toss on a red lipstick on the lips and you're ready to go!

Here's what I used:

Primer - MUS High Tech Lighter in Stardust

Shadows - Sleek Palette Oh So Special (Wrapped Up), OCC Colour Concentrate Pigment in Iced,  MUS E/d in Devil Dust, Mad Mineral Multi Use Mineral Color in Wedding

Pink Queen with glitter

I follow the Sunday up with an easy Monday, but today I have more energy!

As it still October, and focus for the Pink Ribbon and breast cancer, I'd thought of doing another look in the name of pink, but this really easy to do. Even though the official day is past, one can always be pink.

The eyeliner I've used is really a lippencil, I'm not bothered by using lippencils around the eye area, but for those with sensitive eyes, I would consider this before applying it on the eyes.

Another colour for eyeliner weights up for not using shadows sometimes, right!?

My list for today looks like this:

Primer - Liquid Metal Phenomena by Illamasqua

Shadows- Mad Minerals Multi use Loose Pigments in Holiday Lights and Big Apple

Eyepencil - Snowflake by Make Up Store

Eyeliner - Burlesque from MUS

Glitter eyeliners - Candy Liner Hot Pink from NYX and Glitter Eyeliner Queen from MUS

Mascara - Max Lashes Black from MUS and Candy Glitter Liner Hot Pink from NYX

Eyebrow - Le Crayon Eyekohl Bronze from Lancome and silver glitter mascara from 2True

Over and out!

Snoozy with a Star

Snoozy Sunday, sorry to say!

But you gotta do something, right!

I chose to have a colourful eyeliner and glitter in brows and lashes! That works when you're a bit tired!

On the lid I only applied a tiny amount of a face highlighter to brighten up the eye, 'cause frankly that is necissary when one just wants to sleep through the day. And let's not forget the white eyepencil on the waterline, that is a MUST when lurching around sleepy and all!

List of products:

Primer - None

Shadows - Flash Glow finishing powder from Mad Minerals

Eyepencil - Snowflake from MUS

Eyeliner- Copacabana from MUS, Paddle Medium Pencil from Illamasqua

Mascara - Max Lashes Black from MUS and glitter mascara silver from 2True

Star - Plastic star from a Bath Bomb from Lush attached with eyelash glue from MUS

Brow - Le Crayon Eyekohl Bronze by Lancome, and silver glitter mascara from 2True

Enjoy!

Purple Rain Lips!

This is what I was wearing on my lips today together with the purple rain eyes. Unfortunately the label on my lipgloss has worn off but I'm pretty sure it's NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss in Dolly Pink.

Hope you liked it!

Purple Rain

Today I was in a purple mood and decided to combine some of my (at the moment) favorite palettes together: Sleek's Good Girl & Bad Girl. Just looking at the Bad Girl makes me inspired. I must say that it was not a bad idea to combine these two girls because they complete each other very well!!

Primer - MUS High Tech Lighter in Moondust

Shadows - Sleek Palette in Good Girl & Bad Girl, Sugarpill Loose Eyeshadow in Hysteric, Sugarpill Pressed Eyeshadow in Tako

Eye pencil - NYX Slim Eye Pencil in Black

Eyeliner - NYX Big Fat Eye Marker

Glitter - MUS Glitter Liner in Purple Rain

Mascara - Givenchy Phenomen'Eyes Mascara in Black

Eyebrow - MUS M/s in Nightfall

Have a fabulous Saturday!

Blue Smokeys!

I'm in such a smokey mood for now. Don't know why really, I just want to wear dark eyes.

Normally I don't do my eyes so dark near the tear duct, but today I wanted to go against myself. That's a really good thing to do sometimes, to go against your will because you always learn something!

And I've gotten to like smokey eyes without any black somewhere. It highlights the eyes in a total different way!

And look how grey my eyes turned out with blue, almost crazy!

You should definitely try to do smokeys in other colours!

My list goes:

Primer - Liquid Metal Phenomena by Illamasqua

Shadows - Innocence &Obnoxious from the Bad Girl Palette & Blue Lagoon from Curacao Palette by Sleek, Dazzle Dust Pale Blue by Barry M

Eyepencil - Metallic Sea from Make Up Store

Eyeliner - Glitter Eyeliner Night Fever by Collection 2000

Mascara - Helena Rubenstein Lash Queen Black

Brow - Le Crayon Eyekohl Bronze from Lancome

Over and out!

Friday Fun with Illamasqua's Permission

If you haven't tried Illamasqua's Powder Eye Shadows you got a lot of fun ahead! They're truly a joy to work with. They're incredible high pigmented and there's a wide range of colours to choose from, and many of them are actually matt which one rarely finds! I love to use their Liquid Metals as a primer, but make sure to use it very sparsely, a little goes a long way!

Here's what I used:
Primer - NYX JEP in Milk, Illamasqua's Liquid Metal in Stoic

Shadows - Illamasqua Powder Eye Shadow in Permission & Lestat, MUS M/s Take Off, MUS E/d in Demon 

Eye pencil - NYX Slim Eye Pencil in Black

Eyeliner - MUS Darkest Shadow, MAC Penultimate Eyeliner

Glitter - NYX Candy Glitter Liner in Eldorado

Mascara - Givenchy Phenomen'Eyes Mascara in Black

Eyebrow - MUS M/s in Nightfall

Enjoy!

Sleek Blush in Aruba

So this is the lovely colour from the Curacao collection from Sleek called Aruba.
It is a bright orange, and the pigment is super rich. You barely have to touch the blush brush in the pan, and that will be enough!
And like we've said before, why not use your blushes as eyeshadows?

Blush on!
