Brown/Bronze Smokey Eye

Hey Gorgeous People,

Finished Look

Here I am with another makeup look using my BH Cosmetics Palette! This time I tried to do something I don't usually do and that is a quite intense, dark smokey eye look.

So, of course, I started off with a fresh, clean face. To see my skincare routine just head over here!

 The only palette I used on my eyes was this small, bronze palette by Revlon. I absolutely love this palette because it has such a beautiful, dark, coppery, bronze. I also just used a flat eyeshadow brush and a fluffy, crease brush.

Using the flat eyeshadow brush, I placed the dark bronze shade (third colour from the top) all over my eyelid and blended it out with some more of that shade up towards my brow, not blending too close to my eyebrow.

I then got the last shade, a deep brown, and, with a flat eyeshadow brush, concentrated on my eyelid, only blending it as far as into my crease.

I then used the top shade, a pale gold, in the inner corner of my eye to highlight. I also brought this shade onto my lower lash line in the inner corner.

Then, using my BYS 1 Day Tattoo Eyeliner, I did simple winged eyeliner to add a bit of drama to the look. To smoke it all out, I used the deep bronze and deep brown shade along the outer corner of my lower lash line.

I finished it all off with my normal face makeup routine, which you can see here! Add a little dark red lipstick and you're good to go. And that's that! I actually really love this eyeshadow look; it just seems perfect for a night out.

What is your go to look for a night out?

BH Cosmetics Eyeshadow Palette Look #1

Hey Gorgeous People,

So I recently posted a review about the BH Cosmetics Natural Eyeshadow Palette and I said that I would possibly do a few makeup looks using the palette. So I did one for you all and I hope you like it!

I first did the base of my face (I'll update you on my routine for that soon) and then I started with shade 1 for the base of my eyelid. I then put shade 2 across my whole eyelid and blended it just above the crease.

 (I don't know what is wrong with my top lip but it is looking a bit weird and I'm sorry)

Then I blended shades 3 & 4 along my crease and in the outer V of my eye. I used small amounts of product but built it up and added depth slowly but surely.

Then I used shade 5 on the outer edge of my top lashline to add more depth and have a more smokey aspect to it. Then I put a small cat eye using my BYS Tattoo Liner.

To add a little shimmer and sparkle, I wet my brush with some Maybelline setting spray and used shade 6 to make a little cut crease effect. I soon realised this colour was a little too yellow so i put some of shade 3 over the top to bring out those orange shades again. I also finally did my brows and put on some Maybelline Long and Soft Mascara. Finally, I dabbed on a bit of Nude/Orange Maybelline Long Wear Matte Liquid Lipstick and the look was complete!

I hope you liked this look using the BH Cosmetics Natural Eyeshadow Palette. If you would like more of these just let me know below in the comment section. And yes, my eyebrows have seen better day but they just aren't growing fast enough for me to reshape them :(

Christmas Conundrums 2015: Pt 2 - Elfing About?

Hey Gorgeous People,

I decided to do a Christmas-y/Elf type makeup just for the fun of it!

And here it is!

So the products above are what I used for my face base:
1. e.l.f Tone Adjusting Primer
2. Maybelline FitMe Foundation 115
3. MAC Pro Longwear Concealer
4. e.l.f High Shimmer Powder
5. Savvy Pressed Powder
6. Brushes -> Real Techniques (buff, contour, foundation, detailer), beauty blender, ecotools blush and powder, and e.l.f powder puff.

Above is then the process of baking my face! This is done after your foundation and you apply highlighter or a light concealer in a triangle beneath your eyes, in a triangle on your forehead, on your chin, and a thin line down your nose. You then apply generous amounts of loose powder (very light) on these areas and let it "bake" for around 10 minutes. You then lightly brush, in short quick strokes, the powder away.     

                

    

                               

For my eyebrows, I used my e.l.f concealer brush (I only ever use it for my eyebrows) and the chocolate matte Maybelline eyeshadow.
For my eyes, I did a smokey eye using the green Maybelline New York palette above, blending it up to my brow bone and highlighting the inner corner of eye. I used sticky tape to create a sharp definition and to make the winged eyeliner so much easier to apply! After removing the tape you will need to gently apply more powder to your face as it can pull away your makeup.

Finally, for my lips I used a simple red lip gloss/stain from my Andy Warhol palette! And the look is complete!

 Thank you all so much for your support throughout the year and I hope you have a very merry Christmas/Hanukkah/End Of Years/whatever you celebrate!

The Big City

Hey Gorgeous People,

Today, I went to Sydney and sung in my major annual church function called Praise in the Park at Burwood Park and it was fantastic!! Everyone sounded so good and the day was a blast :)

So I thought I would tell you just how I dressed and did my makeup for the day!

1. Get your face ready with moisturiser, primer, foundation, powder etc. I used just my Shea Butter Body Lotion, BB Cream, Savvy Compressed Powder (just this one :P ), Maybelline Super Stay Concealer and Savvy Liquid Concealer.
2. I used Essence Sun Club (Dark Brown) eyeshadow and just did and all over on my eyelids and then in the corners I put light gold just to brighten it up. Then just below my eyebrows I put a very light shade of brown just to highlight my eyes.

3. Then I did a light coat of STAYS no matter what Mascara and did my second coat in Rimmel Extra Super Lash to build my lashes and give them extra length and volume.
4. I lined my entire waterline with my Maybelline Masterliners eyeliner an wacked on some Revlon Ruby Rose lipstick.

So after all that, I thought I looked pretty good just for a casual day in Sydney but also trying to look a bit more dolled up than usual. I love the brown eyeshadow as it really highlights my blue eyes and makes them bold. But I NEED to wear 2 coats of mascara with it otherwise my eyes look quite dull and the brown is too overpowering.

So there is my makeup and now onto my outfit.

I was wearing:
1. My Teal Peplum top from Forecast.
2. Simple long black skirt from Target.
3. Black High-heeled Wedges from Girl Xpress.
4. And my Tree of Life Necklace.

So there you have it! My outfit and makeup for a more relaxed day in the city!
