Hello!

I got this suuuuper cool pink eyeliner from Nyx, and I really wanted to use it, so I came up with this look. It feels good to break out of the dark colours, and start using brighter ones now spring is gonna be here soon... Well, it's a while yet, but I'm excited haha. I'm hoping to get the Nyx Ultimate Brights Palette when it's back in stock to start doing some more brighter looks, but until then, here you are!

First of all, I used Peach Smoothie from Makeup Geek as my initial transition colour.

I took Lick Me from the I Heart Makeup Death By Chocolate palette and put it in my crease and up to my brow bone, fading it out.

Then I took Buon Fresco from the Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance palette to deepen that first pink colour.

For my lid colour, I used Lolita from Nyx, it's one of their new Hot Singles eyeshadows.

On a pencil brush, I took Kama Sutra from the Nyx Hot Singles just to add a tiny bit of depth.

Then I applied the eyeliner! It is the Nyx Vivid Brights in Vivid Petal.

Please forgive the lighting from now on, I started late afternoon and by the time I had done my face makeup, the light had gone. I first used my flash gun, and as you will see, I then switched to my ring light, I do apologise!

But here, I lined my water line with some white eye liner, and then smudged some of the Kama Sutra shade on the outer half.

I put mascara on my top lashes, but not the bottom.

On my lips, I used Nyx Lip Lingerie in Corset, topped with Nyx Glam Lip Gloss Aqua Luxe in Beat Goes On. There's a lot of Nyx in this because I just bought some new stuff! And you know I LOVE them...

On my inner corner and brow bone, I used Hemisphere from the Sleek Solstice highlighting palette.

I hope you enjoyed this look, I'm loving the bright colours, and I think it has made a nice change to the looks I have been doing recently haha.

See you in the next one!

Hello!
Today I wanted to show how I came up with a super metallic look. It's another pink eyemakeup look, but I used highlighters to really show some shine. I paired this look with the MUA Luxe Metallic Liquid Lips in Luster. I've had this lipgloss for so long and never known what to use it with, so I was mega excited that I finally got to try it out. I hope you enjoy this look!

First of all, I used a lavender shade from the Technic Mega Sultry palette. This shade was actually quite pigmented, and the company is cruelty free, which is a bonus!

Then I packed the lightest highlight shade from the Makeup Revolution Blush palette in Sugar and Spice across my eyelid. This shade was very crumbly and I had a lot of fallout, but then I suppose it's not really an eyeshadow. It just took a lot of building up to get the super shiny look that I wanted.

I buffed Toasted from the Urban Decay Naked palette into my outer corner. This took a lot of switching back and forth between the highlight shade and Toasted until I got my desired look.

Obviously, I then added eyeliner because it's the one thing I can't live without.

I then took the original shade from the Technic palette and ran it along my lower lash line with a pencil brush before adding mascara.

Then I popped on my falsies (I'm aware you can see the glue, I was in a bit of a rush but you get the idea)

Now my favourite part, the lipgloss! This is just such a beautiful shade. I've had it a while and I've been dying to try it so I was super excited when I came up with this idea. It shimmers very intensely in the light, and surprisingly isn't too sticky.

I hope you enjoyed this super easy look, and I'll see you next time

Hey baes!

Today I have a look that is inspired by my one and only Queen, Jeffree Star and his beautiful hair.

If you don't know who Jeffree is, then please educate yourself. His makeup skills are just on another level, and his hair is actually stunning, so I wanted to create an eye look inspired by this.

So once you've discovered Jeffree (and his amazing makeup, which you can get from Cocktail Cosmetics in the UK), we can start with the look!


After placing my tape and priming, I first used Freshly Toasted from the Zoeva Cocoa Blends palette as my transition colour.

For this look, I decided that I was going to use a blush palette rather than eyeshadow, and I am using the Makeup Revolution Blush palette in Sugar & Spice. I have numbered the colours in order that I used them as they don't have names.

I took the first colour and applied it over the initial transition colour, extending it up a little to show some subtle pink. I focused mainly on the outer corner with this,

Then I took the second colour to add a more pinky vibe.

I wanted a little bit of depth so I added Naked from the Naked palette with a pencil brush just to lightly add a bit of shade because I didn't want to go too dark with this.

Moving away from the blush, I added Virgin also from the Naked palette in my inner corner. To add a bit more shimmer, I added Set Me Free from the Makeup Revolution Death By Chocolate palette on top of the Virgin shade as I thought these two made a great combo.

Coming back to the blush palette and using the final third shade, I applied this in my outer corner, buffing it along the tape.

I found that this reduced the intensity of the shimmer colours, so I went back over these, and added the thinnest line of Sin from the Naked palette inbetween the third blush and the shimmer colours as I felt this made the transition look a bit neater.

And this is the part I well and truly messed up. You know when one wing goes absolutely perfect, and then the other one really doesn't but you can't wipe them off because then you'll ruin all of your hard work with the shadow? That's what happened to me with this look. But it's okay, because no one has perfect eyeliner days everyday, even with the aid of tape.

After doing my face makeup, I drew a kohl liner along my waterline

Then I added a mix of the second and third blushes directly under this in a smooth line to add an extra pop of colour.

I added mascara and lashes, as per, and the eyes were complete.

On my lips, I decided to use the Makeup Revolution lipstick in Scandalous Depraved. I quite liked how the pink and purples mixed well, and I also liked how this lipstick got darker the longer I was out, that was pretty cool.

Please excuse my hair, my straighteners literally exploded on me so I need to buy some new ones.

I hope you enjoyed this look, it was definitely a lot of fun playing around with colour for a change, and something that I would like to do again.

Thank you for reading,
