Metallic Blue (using wet eyeshadow)

Hey everyone!

Today's look is gonna be a metallic blue in the lid, and grey in the crease to bring up the smokiness. I was using a wet eyeshadow from Victoria Secret called Smokin', this is also can be used dry. I was using in wet because the color will look more vibrant, and for the grey eyeshadows, I was using an eyeshadow quad from e.l.f. in Drama, and it was only $1!

OK let's get started!

here is the look :)

Products I used:

1. Prime your eyes with Too Faced Eyeshadow Insurance all over your eyes using your finger.
2. Draw a line in your lid with NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Slate, then blend it with your finger. 
3. Spray Sigma E55 with MAC Fix+, then take Victoria Secret Beauty Rush eyeshadow in Smokin' and apply it in your lid.
4. Grab e.l.f. eyeshadow quad in Drama, and apply Eyeshadow #1 slightly in your crease using Sigma E35. 
5. To get smokier look, take eyeshadow #2, and apply it in the outer corner of your eyes with Sigma E35. Then, blend it back and forth until there is no harsh line. Use Sigma E40 to blend.

Summer Bronze

Hey Everyone!

Do you know what is the most popular make-up look in the summer?

BRONZE!

Tanned and glowy skin are the most must have in summer (sad that my skin can't get tanned!), and bronze make-up look is so much more appropriate in the summer!

Use any bronze shimmery eyeshadows color you have, then combine it with a gold shimmer, and brown matte color. and there you have it - a summer bronze look.

Let's get started with the eyes...

Products I used:

correction: Bobbi Brown Smoldering Eye Palette

correction: MAC 219

1. Prime your eyes with Smashbox Photo Finish Lid Primer all over your eyes, just use your fingers! 
2. Apply Antique Gold eyeshadow from the palette in your eye lids with Sigma E55. 
3. Take Brandy eyeshadow from the palette, and apply it in your crease using Sigma E35. 
4. Apply Stila eyeshadow in Java with Sigma E35 on top of Brandy eyeshadow. 
5. Take just a tiny of Caviar eyeshadow, and apply it in the outer corner with Sigma E35. Then, blend it back and forth with Sigma E40. 
6. Highlight your brow bone (right under your brow) with Bone eyeshadow using Sigma E40. 
7. Line your lower lashline with Antique Gold using MAC 219 from inner tear duct until half way down of your lower lashline. Then, line the rest with Brandy eyeshadow. 
8. Line your upper lash line and water line with Maybeline Eyestudio Gel Liner in Black with a brush that is included when you purchase the gel liner. 
9. Curl your lashes and apply two coats of Covergirl Lashblast Mascara in Black. 

You're done! 

Let's move on to the face! 

1. Apply Lioele Triple Solutions BB Cream all over your face with Sigma F84. 
2. Cover your dark circle with Eve Pearl Salmon Concealer in Medium with Sigma F70. Then, blend it with your ring finger. 
3. Highlight your cheeks by applying Make Up For Ever 5 Camouflage Cream Concealer No. 1 right under your eyes with Sigma F70 (Use any concealer that is a shade lighter than your skin tone). Then, blend it with Sigma F84. 
4. Pat Palladio Rice Powder in Natural with a powder puff. 
5. Contour your cheekbones with Benefit Hoola Bronzer with MAC 109 brush. Apply it also on the side of your forehead, jaws, and all over your neck. 
6. Sweep NARS Orgasm Blush in the apple of your cheeks with MAC 109. 
7. Spray Urban Decay All Nighter to set your make-up, so that it won't melt off during the day! 

Pink Nude Lips

1. Apply MAC Lipstick in Hug Me in your lips. 
2. Top of it with NARS Lipgloss in Turkish Delight. 

And you are done! 

The Bobbi Brown Smoldering Eye Palette was a limited edition, and you still can get it only from the website. If you do not want a purchase one, Antique Gold is just a gold eyeshadow, you can get it anywhere, whereas Brandy is a reddish brown color. If you do not have something similar, you can just use a dark brown eyeshadow. Caviar is just a simple matte black eyeshadow, and Bone is too. Use any eyeshadow that match with your skin tone color as your brow bone's highlighter, commonly beige, nude, and white (you can use shimmer or matte finished).

Army Green

Hey Everyone!

In this post, I am going to show you how to create a smokey look using green eyeshadows. Green eyeshadows are best for brown eyes, but don't worry! It looks beautiful on other eye colors too! Not many people wearing greens today, so now it is your time to show your friends how you can pull off green eyeshadows!

Let's get started with the eyes first...

1. Prime your eyes with an eye primer. I was using Too Faced Eyeshadow Insurance (I forgot to include it in the picture!) 
2. Draw a line in with MAC Greasepaint stick in Greensmoke in your upper lashline, then blend it up to your crease with your finger (you'll see when the color fades up, that means it is blended). This product was a limited edition, but you can skip this step. I used it just because I wanted the green color looked more vibrant. 
3. Take MAC Humid and apply it in the lid with Sigma E55. 
4. Apply MUFE 84 in your crease using Sigma E35 in a windshield motion. 
5. Take MAC Plumage, and apply it in the outer corner with Sigma E35 to darken it up. Then, blend it with a clean blending brush like Sigma E40. 
6. Optional - if you want the color more smokey, apply a matte black eyeshadow (MAC Carbon) in the outer corner (on top of Plumage) with Sigma E35, then blend it with Sigma E40. 
7. Line your lower lashline with MAC Plumage using Sigma E30. 
8. Highlight your browbone using MAC Vanilla with Sigma E40.
