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!

For today's Fab February post I thought I would post my makeup wishlist in honour of "Wishful Wednesday".... Yes, I just made that up.... Basically this post is of all the beauty related products that I would like to purchase or try in 2014. Kind of an odd post, but I have read a number of posts like this and I have always found them a useful forum. So if you have tried any of these products or have products that you want to try out in 2014 feel free to comment! 1. Nars Laguna Bronzing Powder . I have heard so much about this bronzer and I think that after my Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer runs out this will be my next bronzer purchase. 2. Clinique Cheek Pop Blush in Plum Pop.

Summer Foundations

Hi everyone! Summer is finally here! This post is just a quick look at some great summer foundations. I went away camping for a weekend and got nice and tan so I can finally switch to my darker shades.  Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream in Light/Medium . If you are looking for a sheer coverage tinted moisturizer, this is the product for you. It has a heavier texture which can be uncomfortable on a humid day, but on a cloudy day this is a great base. It can be worn alone or under foundation. It actually has a really nice semi-matte finish when set with a setting powder, or a dewy finish if worn by itself.  Vichy Norma Teint Anti-Blemish Foundation in Sand . This foundation is perfect for acne prone skin. It is almost like a serum, very liquid like, but it has great coverage and lasting power. I don't suffer from acne or a lot of pimples, but of I do have a bit of a break out this foundation doesn't irritate it further and keeps it from spreading.  ...
