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 :)

EOTD #10 - Dramatic Arabic Smokey Eye Inspired Look

Sorry I haven't posted an EOTD in a while. I have just recently sold my compact camera since I want to get a new one. I do have an SLR but it is a bit hard to take self portraits with but I have managed to do it.

This EOTD was inspired by MissChievous video tutorial on Exotic Arab Smokey eye look. You can view the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Bpu6BWG7pg.

This look is quite dramatic and definitely not an everyday look. I did a double winged eyeliner in this look just to add a bit more drama to the look. And I also

Here are some steps on how to create this look:

1. First I applied a base all over my eyelid. I used Makeup Forever Aqua Cream in no 16 Pink Beige.
2. I then applied a pink eyeshadow all over my lid. I used MAC Extra Dimension Eyeshadow in Young Venus
3. I patted a Urban Decay Gunmetal from the Naked Palette (a bluish metallic grey) on the outer third of the eye and then using a blending brush I blended it up to the crease. I keep adding the colour and blending it on the crease until I get the desired effect.
4. I applied Urban Decay Creep from the Naked Palette (black eyeshadow with shimmer) on the outer v and blended it in with the previous grey eyeshadow applied on the crease.
5. I applied Urban Decay Virgin on the brow bone and Sin on the inner corner of the eyes.
6. I tightlined my upper and lower lash line with MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack and also lined my upper lash line and winged it out. 
7. I also lined my lower lash lined and created a wing parallel to the upper lash line. 
8. I then applied Rimmel Soft Kohl Kajal Eyeliner in Pure white in the area between the upper and lower winged line.
9. I finished off by curling my lashes and applying MAC Haute & Naughty mascara. And lastly because it is such a dramatic eye makeup I used false lashes just to make the lashes look full and long. I used Manicare Glam Eyes Alicia lashes. 

Tip: to get that clean winged eyeshadow look I placed a scotch tape on the corner of my eyes so it created a clean winged look.

Because this eye makeup is so dramatic, I left the face and lips quite subtle. 

For the lips I used Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Honey. 

And for the face I used the following products:

• Lancôme Teint Visionnaire foundation in 04 Beige Nature
• Makeup Academy (MUA) Bronzed Perfection Bronzer
• MAC Peachtwist blush
• Revlon Age Defying Spa Concealer in 002

Hope you like this look!
