EOTD #15 Peach and berry cut crease & New Haircut!

So I have been a bit unwell, hence why I haven't posted in over a week. Anyway this was an EOTD from over a week ago. Also.... I just got a brand new haircut then! At first I thought it was too short but now I am getting used to it and really liking it. I also find it much easier to style.

These are the steps on how I created this look:

1. Apply primer all over the eyelid up to the brow bone.  I used Mirenesse Sexy Secret Eye Primer. This helps out even out the lids and make the eyeshadow last longer.
2. Apply the peach eyeshadow from MAC Reel Sexy Dynamic Duo 1 all over the lid. Since I have hooded eyes, I also applied it and blended it up above the crease.
3. Apply the berry purple eyeshadow from the MAC Reel Sexy Dynamic Duo 1 with a pencil brush by drawing a line on the crease. Apply more heavily on the outer part of the crease. 
4. Apply more of the berry purple eyeshadow using a fluffy brush (like MAC 217 brush) and blend out that line you drew on step 3. This will blend out the cut crease so it does not look too harsh. Keep blending until you get the desired effect.
5. I applied MAC fluidline in Blacktrack along the upper lash line. And on the lower lash line I applied Sephora Flashy Waterproof Purple eyeliner.
6. I finished off by applying Almay Get up and grow mascara on my lashes.

Hope you like this look!

EOTD #14 Neutral eyes with a hint of green

This is an EOTD from a week ago that I haven't had the chance to upload and post.

It's a neutral EOTD with a hint of green. I thought it was nice to add a bit of colour that day since I was wearing all black.

To create this look I used:

• L'Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow Hourglass Beige all over the lid
• GOSH Cosmetics in Dark Green on the crease mixed with Darkhorse from Urban Decay Naked Palette
• I tightlined the upper lash line using the Eye of Horus pencil eyeliner and also very thinly lined the upper lash line
• Camouflage Colours Skin crayon eyeliner in green on the lower lash line
• Almay Get up and grow mascara

EOTD #13 Blue sky eye-makeup look

Today's EOTD was inspired by a friend on a beauty forum who always post beautiful colourful EOTDs. I usually don't do a lot of colourful EOTDs and when I do it's mostly a colour that's not too bright or I only use a pop of colour.

However since I was inspired I decided to do a blue eye makeup look. I don't tend to use blue a lot so this is definitely different to my usual makeup look.

As you can see it is quite bright and out there but since I have heavily hooded eyes when my eyes are open it actually looks less out there.

Anyway if you would like to recreate this look you can follow these steps:

1. Apply eye primer all over eyelid up to the brow bone and also under the eyes. This helps the eyeshadow to stick and last longer.
2. The main eyeshadow I used for this look was MAC Heavenly Creatures Mineralized eyeshadow in the colour Sky as pictured below. I did not blend the colours from this eyeshadow but applied the 2 blues separately.



MAC Heavenly Creatures Mineralized eyeshadow - Sky

3. Apply the bright sky blue from the Sky mineralized eyeshadow all over the lid. Since I have hooded eyes, I blended this slightly higher so it is visible when my eyes are open. 
4. Apply the darker blue colour from the same eyeshadow all over the crease and blend. 
5. I applied MAC Shimmermoss eyeshadow in the inner third and inner corner of the eyes.
6. Under the lower lash line apply the dark blue colour on the outer two thirds and apply MAC Shimmermoss on the inner thirds.
7. To highlight the brow bone, I applied Urban Decay Sin eyeshadow from the Naked Palette.
8. Make sure that you blend the colours quite well so that it transitions beautifully.
9. I applied a thin line of black eyeliner on the upper lash line very closely to the lash. I used Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Eyeliner.
10. Because it's such a colourful dramatic look I decided to use false lashes to enhance my lashes. The lash that I used was Red Cherry lashes #110.

And that's it. For the face I used Lancome Teint Visionnaire Foundation and I used MUA Bronzed perfection bronzer to contour the face. I didn't want to do too much on the face since the eyeshadow is quite dramatic. I also left my lips bare or you could apply a nude lipstick so that the eye is the main attraction.

Hope you like this look :)

EOTD #12 - Silver Smokey Eyes for a night out

Last weekend I went to a friend's 30th birthday party. It was a fancy dinner so I had to wear a fancy dress. So, I thought this occasion calls for a more dramatic makeup.

To recreate this look follow these steps:

1. I started by applying a primer all over my lid and under my eyes. I used Mirenesse sexy secret eye primer.
2. Apply L'Oreal Infallible eyeshadow in Hourglass Beige on the inner corner of the eyes and the inner third of the eye lid. I also applied what was left on the brush on brow bone to highlight this area.
3. Apply L'Oreal Infallible eyeshadow in Flashback Silver on the middle and outer third of the eyelid. 
4. Then I used a mix of 3 MAC eyeshadows (Espresso, Cork and Cross-Cultural) and applied this on the crease and blended it in.
5. To add more definition and darken the look a bit, I used MAC Beauty marked eyeshadow on the outer V. 
6. I also applied MAC beauty marked eyeshadow and smudged it along the lower lash line.
7. I applied MAC Fluidline Blacktrack on the upper lash line.
8. I finished off my applying Australis Killer Curves mascara on the lashes and I also applied Red Cherry false lashes in #747S to give me that extra oomph on my lashes :)
9. For my brows I used Maybelline master shape brow pencil in dark brown.

 For the face I used:

• Lancome Teint Visionnaire foundation
• Inglot translucent powder
• MAC blush in Pink Swoon
• MUA Bronzed Perfection bronzer

And for the lips I used Revlon Just Bitten Kissable balm stain in Honey.

Hope you liked this look :)

Makeup Geek Haul - Red Cherry Lashes, MUG Gel eyeliner review & swatches

So I have been eyeing the Makeup Geek (MUG) Gel Eyeliner for a while now... to be honest.. from last year. And finally a few weeks ago I went for it and purchased 3 of them. In addition of these gel eyeliners, I also purchased 4 x Red Cherry lashes.

You may have heard of Makeup Geek. If you haven't, here's a little bit of info. Makeup Geek is a beauty website run by Marlena. I found out about her through her Youtube Channel. Previously she just had the channel and the website but then she started producing her own products such as these gel eyeliners. She also has eyeshadows as well and they come in a range of beautiful colours.

So the three MUG gel eyeliners that I purchased were: Fame (beautiful dark teal), Amethyst (gorgeous purple) and Rave (dark shimmery/metallic brown). They were very affordable at US$7.99 compared to MAC Fluidline which is around $32 (I think).

I also purchased some Red Cherry false lashes since I have read some good reviews about it and they were only U$2.50 each. I purchased the Demi Wispies, #217, #747S, and #110. So far I have used the #747S and they look really nice on and it looks quite natural. I will post the EOTD using these lashes in the next few days.

So onto the gel eyeliners. First of all, I love them!! These gel eyeliners are amazing! The colours are gorgeous, they are very pigmented and they are long lasting. Once I applied them, they do not budge. I think they also work great as a base. I have only tried using Rave as a base and it glides on smoothly. I do find that Fame (teal) was a bit more tacky but it still applies beautifully.

Out of these 3 colours, I still can't decide which one of them is my favourite because I love them all. I love Fame and Amethyst because the colours are so gorgeous. And I love Rave too because it's not just a plain brown but a beautiful metallic/shimmery brown. As you can see above, before I actually used Fame it looks quite dark and matte but after I applied a swatch the colour is a beautiful gorgeous teal!

Here is a look I did the other day using Rave. I don't think this picture does it justice but it's definitely a great alternative to the usual black eyeliner.

Overall I am very happy with my Makeup Geek haul. I am tempted to purchase more of the gel eyeliners and also the MUG eyeshadows which I've heard are really nice and pigmented. The shipping to Australia wasn't too expensive. Overall I paid around $45 for the above haul so it was a good value!

I can't wait to try more MUG products but I think I have to put myself on a spending ban for now... so until next time.
