Makeup Monday: Dramatic Midnight Smokey Eye- Prom, Clubbing, Wedding


Hello everyone! I know most people's prom season is over, but I still wanted to film a more dramatic makeup look for you. So I tried to create one that was versatile and not too "prom-ish". This eye makeup is very dark but it will work for all skin tones and I used all drugstore eye products, so yay-affordable! 

You can watch the video here:

Face:
Laura Mercier Foundation Primer in Radiance

Estee Lauder Double Wear Light in 2

Covergirl Translucent Powder

Rimmel Highlighting Concealer

Elf Bronzer in St Lucia


How I did the eyes:
1. I primed my eyes with Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden. 
2. I applied Annabelle Kohl Eye Liner in Black Ink all over my eyelid, and then blended it with a flat eye shadow brush. I also ran it underneath my eye and blended it out. 

3. Over top of the blended liner I applied a shimmery dark blue eyeshadow from Avon all over my lid, and aalong my lower lashline. By putting the eyeliner underneath it intensifies the colour and helps it last. 

4. Using a fluffy crease brush I blended a matte taupe eye shadow, from the Hard Candy Birthday Suit Palette, through my crease. This softens the harsh edges of the blue eye shadow and creates a gradient and balanced effect.

5. On a flat eye shadow brush I dusted a matte cream eye shadow (also from the Hard Candy palette, which I will be doing a review of on Wednesday) along my brow bone as a highlight and a way to soften the look even more. 

6. Taking an angled brush and Essence Gel Eyeliner in Midnight in Paris ( a matte black), I created a thick wing, and lined my upper lashline. 

7. I then lined my upper and lower waterlines with Rimmel Waterproof Kohl Eyeliner in Black. 

8. Finally, I applied two coats of mascara to my upper and lower lashlines. 

Brows and Lips:

Beautique Brow Pencil in Light Brown

Maybelline Brow Sculptor in Dark Brown

Nars Satin Lip Pencil in Rikugien

I hope you like this makeup look as it is a little different from what I normally do!

Summer Lace OOTD and Natural Makeup Tutorial

Hello everyone! Today's OOTD is my favourite summer look. Lace, loose waves, and a natural makeup look. It was nice and warm today so I brought out one of my favourite dresses. It is from American Eagle, and was given to me by one of my friends a few years ago. I like that it is strapless as when I am outside enjoying the sunshine I don't have to worry about awkward tan lines! I went with a natural and glowing makeup look today, and I even filmed it for you! You can watch the video below. It is inspired by the gorgeous Gigi Hadid. xx Jess Instagram: jessicakinnari
