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!

Whatever Wednesdays: Victoria Beckham Hair How-To

Victoria Beckham Ponytail: With her long dark brown hair, Victoria Beckham's hairstyle of choice has become the ponytail. This style is quick, and ultra chic. 1. Start with day-old hair (or even if you are starting with freshly washed hair) and spritz with a volumizing dry shampoo. 2. Pull your hair back with your fingers, smoothing over any stray hairs. 3. Once you have your ponytail in the desired place, fasten with a hair tie. 4. Take your straightener and run it over the ends of your ponytail, to give it a sleek effect. 5. Add a tiny dot of shine serum to the ends. Simply rub the serum between your palms, and run your hands over the end of your ponytail. Voila! Tu es fini, and you have a simple and chic hairdo. xx JD Please leave me a comment let me know what you think! If you have any questions or suggestions: Email me: jessicadonna96@gmail.com

Throwback Everyday Makeup Tutorial

Hello everyone! If you know me, you'll know that I have a slight makeup problem... I have way too much! But I can't help it, I just love it so, and I honestly look forward to putting my makeup on every morning. So today I decided I would do a quick post on my fave go to glam look for daytime. It looks quite heavy, but because I'm using mineral makeup it feels like I'm wearing no face makeup at all! My skin is quite sensitive and dry, so for the longest time I thought that mineral makeup wouldn't work for my skin, but boy was I wrong! I was at Winners recently and saw that they had a couple Bellapierre Cosmetics mineral makeup sets on sale for $14... So I thought I'd try it out, and now I can never go back to regular liquid foundations! Mineral makeup is considered to be better for your skin as it is natural, and usually only contains 3-4 natural ingredients. Bellapierre foundation has an SPF of 15 which can cause a little bit of flashback, so if ...
