Hey there!

Today I have a simple gold eye look for you! I really wanted to try out one of my new Lime Crime Red Rose lipstick, and I thought this was the perfect look to go with it! It's also easy because they're quite accessible colours, so you don't need the exact ones I use (not that you do in any of my posts, of course).

I took these pictures before I had work, so they're not the best, but again, this shows you just how easy this look is!

After priming with my Milani Eyeshadow Primer and setting with a light colour, I put Naked from the Urban Decay Naked Palette in my crease.

I then darkened this with Buck from the same palette.

I then put Half Baked all across my lid.

I decided this wasn't quite gold enough, so I put a bit of Pure Ganache from the Zoeva Cocoa Blend Palette on the top.

I then took Cyprus Umber from the Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Palette and darkened my outer corner.

After I drew my wing, I then put Collection Glam Crystals Dazzling Gel Liner in Funk just on the wing. This is such a pretty gold colour and I thought it went with the eyeshadow quite well.

I then put a bit of the Cyprus Umber shade on my lower lashline.

And Red Rose from Lime Crime on my lips. (Note: this stained my lips!!)

And there you have it: a simple gold eye makeup look.

I hope you enjoyed this! And I will see you tomorrow!

Hello!

Today I have a tutorial on this eye look, which kind of reminds me of fire? I don't know, maybe it's just me. I originally started with the intention of it being a copper eye look but then this just happened so I went with it. I hope you enjoy!

For my first transition shade I used Naked from the Urban Decay Naked palette, which is my new favourite transition shade (finally getting over my Substitute For Love obsession)

Then I followed with the shade Buck just underneath to deepen up my crease.

Then I used the deeper shade from the L'Oreal Blush Sculpt in Nude Beige on the outer corner.

In the inner corner, I used Bronze from the Makeup Revolution Beyond Flawless palette. You would think from the name that this would be a perfect shade for a copper look, but no, it came out a gold shade???

After adding eyeliner, I used the same blush shade on my lower lash line.

After adding mascara I was done! I'm not too sure about the eyeliner, I wish I had made the wing longer but oh well, who gets their eyeliner perfect every time?

Thanks for reading!

Hello!

Today is St Patrick's Day and I thought I would share with you the look I created for the parade in Birmingham that I went to on Sunday. I wasn't entirely happy with how the glitter turned out, but I got a lot of compliments so maybe I'm just being picky?

Here is the look that I created :)

First of all, I took both Naked 2 from the Naked Basics Palette and Half Baked from the Naked Palette and ran these through my crease.

Then I took the darker green shade from the W7 Neon Nights Palette (you can use any green you like, obviously, this is just the only green I own). I ran this just under where I'd put the original two shades.

Then to lighten this up a bit, I took the more lime shade from the palette and blended it all over the original green shade, dragging it down slightly.

I took the Essence Long Lasting Eye Pencil in I have A Green and pretty much filled in my entire lid.

Don't worry if it looks messy because you're gonna blend it out like I did here.

Now for the fun bit! I used my Duo lash adhesive and some green glitter from Wilkinson's, probably not the best idea so I'm definitely not gonna recommend it! I put the glue on a flat brush and spread it across my eyelid, and then placed the glitter on top with the same brush.

As I said before, I wasn't 100% happy with how the glitter turned out, but this was my first time using loose glitter all over my lid. I just think I need more practice blending it. I did clean it up a bit more after taking this photo, but oh well. I tried!

Then I added my usual eyeliner and mascara. I ran a black eyeliner pencil along my waterline, and drew a faint green line just underneath with the I Have A Green pencil.

On my lips I used Collection Lasting Colour Lipstick in the shade Mango Crush. I was quite impressed with this, it managed to stay on even with me devouring a chicken bake from Gregg's!

And that is it!

I hope you all have a wonderful St. Patrick's Day, see you next time.

Hello!

Today I have this look that I came up with yesterday, so I decided that I would recreate it and share it. I used sellotape with this to create a sharp line, something that I've never tried before, but I don't think that this second attempt is too bad! I hope you enjoy :)

For my transition shade,I used Substitute For Love from the Zoeva Cocoa Blends Palette (this entire look is using this) and ran it through my crease, bringing it up slightly as it reaches the tape.

Next I deepened this with Freshly Toasted to make the colours look a bit warmer.

Then I applied Beans Are White to the outer corner, focusing on making the colour deeper along the tape line. Make sure that the colour blends softly into the center of the eye.

I then put Pure Ganache across the rest of my lid, blending it with Beans Are White.

While the tape was still on, I did my eyeliner so I could follow the line better.

After applying my face makeup, I ran a mix of Substiture For Love and Beans Are White along my lower lash line.

Then a applied mascara and my Ardell Demi Wispies and there ya are! (Excuse my wonky eyebrows, I FINALLY got them done and the woman messed them up. Yay)

On my lips, I used my new favourite lip crayon from Primark. It's their PS Velvet Matte Lipstick Crayon but it doesn't have a name I don't think, just the number 11? I seriously think this beats Birthday Suit by Sleek as my go to lip colour.

Thank you for reading,
