Tutorial: Brown Glitz Smokey Eye

Products I used for this look

-Too Faced Eye Shadow Insurance

-L’Oreal Infalliable Eye Shadows in Continuous Cocoa, Bronzed Taupe, and Iced Latte

-NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil French Fries

-MAC Stud Eye Brow Pencil

-MAC Reflects Gold Glitter

-Ardell Double Up Lashes #205

-NYX Supreme Lip Cream in Pinky Nude

This tutorial is way overdue, I have been slacking tremendously but at least I have a new video camera to showcase my work. I wanted to focus on products that you would be able to find at your nearest drugstore (minus the Smashbox blush that I used). The main products for this smokey eye look are from L’Oreal . You probably have seen the ads and the commercials for these little pressed/loose (are they pressed or loose? Who knows?) eye shadow pots that come in a variety of colors. I have about 12 of the colors and I love them to pieces. The Midnight Blue is to die for and so is the Perpetual Purple. I will post the MOTD’S I created using these two colors. The color payoffs of each of the colors are so bold and the longevity of the wear is wonderful.

Back to the brown smokey eye… I received an email from one of my instagram/facebook follower, Brian. The picture was from Pretty Little Liars and it was a deep intense brown glittery smokey eye. I wanted to create more of a cat eye smokey eye to change it up a little and I did this with the help of scotch tape. Here’s a little tip before you apply the scotch tape right on your face. Make sure you get the tape tacky by placing it on the back of your hand and rubbing the top of it a little. This will prevent the tape from hurting your poor delicate eye area when you take it off later. Trust me I’ve done it and it doesn’t feel too great. OUCH!

Hope you enjoy the new quality of the video!!! Can’t wait to make more… if I don’t get into the lazy spell again.

This is has to be one of my new favorite looks that I have done in a long time. Can you believe I only used 3 colors? Hot pink for the area above the crease, black in the crease and a bright purple for the lid. I am so addicted to the ACID palette so many bright colored combinations you can achieve.

Please let me know if you have any requests for any looks. :)

Review / Swatches ACID Sleek Palette

It's hard to find bright colored eye shadows here in the states. I want bright, neon colored, eye-popping, intensely pigmented shadows. Well, I found them but they don't sell it here in the states. I knew about Sleek for awhile now, and I always wanted to try the products. The only problem is that you can only get it in Europe, there is no store or online store that actually sells them. Thank goodness

www.sleekmakeup.com

does ship to the US for $13.50. You may also find some sellers on Ebay that will ship internationally.

Sleek Makeup

offers some amazing palettes ranging from neutrals to brights and of course smokey. What's great about these palettes is that they are mineral based. It's hard to find eye shadow palettes that are pressed mineral shadows. I really love the design that is pressed on the shadows, it's like a square/diamond pattern.

The palettes that I purchased are ACID, CIRCUS, and MONACO. I did not purchase these from their website but on ebay instead because I wanted Circus and Monaco which were limited edition. This post will focus on the ACID Palette! Circus and Monaco review will be posted at a later time.

ACID

This palette contains both matte and shimmer shadows. The color range in this palette gives you a a light, neon and a few darker shades.

Swatches - NYX Milk Jumbo Eye Pencil as a base

My thoughts:

- wow so pigmented!!!

-when used with a white base the colors just pop

-the two blue shades and silver grey are shimmery the rest are matte

-i love the neon shades - yellow, orange, pink and green

-this is a must have if you like bright colors

-the only downside to this palette is that you cannot order it from sleekmakeup.com because of USA FDA regulations they cannot send it. This is the only palette from their line which they cannot ship over seas hence the reason why I purchased it on ebay.

I can't wait to use this palette for a MOTD!!!

MOTD: Pink, Tan, White Prom Look 1

I've been getting a lot of requests for Prom looks since a lot of teenagers are anticipating their proms in a couple of weeks. I remember my Prom so many years ago and this look would perfectly match the dress that I wore that night. It was a pink 2 piece with silver rhinestones. Man, I miss those days getting all glammed up and going out with friends to enjoy the night. My date was a childhood friend whom I've known since 3rd grade. It was such a fun night!

Anyways back to the makeup.

For the look I used all MAC makeup since you can find counters and stores all over the place.

-You may use any highlighter shade you prefer, for this look I used Brule.

- MAC Passionate Eye Shadow (Crease). Best when applied with a blending brush such as the MAC #224 for a soft diffused crease.

-MAC Ricepaper/MAC Bamboo Eye Shadows (inner and outer lid). Take a flat brush and pat a mixture of this color just to the inside and outside of the lid, keep the center open for the next color. Blend the color with the pink that you previously blended in the crease.

-MAC Crystal Avalanche Eye Shadow with MAC Silver Dusk Iridescent Powder (center of lid and lower eye) By placing a lighter color in the center of the lid will make your eyes pop! Also smudge this color on the bottom lash line to open up the eyes.

-Don't forget your lashes, any style would work well. If you like you can also add a little bit of the shimmer powder in the inside corner of your eye like what I did for the picture.
