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.

Grey Day Makeup: Using the Urban Decay Naked2 Palette

(Photo courtesy Pinterest) Hello lovely readers! I love grey cold days, and winter in Canada has plenty of those. There is nothing better then being curled up inside while it is cold, grey and rainy outside. Every time the weather is like this I do the same makeup look. It is a gold and bronze smokey eye, with a peachy/pink cheek, and a neutral or red lip (depending on my mood). It is very simple, and takes about 10-15min. It pairs nicely with grey, black, burgundy and cream coloured clothes, so it is super versatile. It also works with most hairstyles, but I prefer to wear my hair straight with this look, as I just think it looks best on me. Face: 1. Start with a foundation primer and apply it all over your face.

If you have a normal skin type I'd recommend Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer, ...

Super Quick and Easy Bronze Eye Makeup

Hello everyone! Today's look is a quick and super simple bronze eye makeup. It is fresh, goes fabulous with any eye colour, and is great for days when you want to channel your inner Greek goddess.  1. Starting off, take a cream shimmery taupe eye shadow and apply it all over your eye lid. Slightly blend out the edges using your fingers.  Take a bit of product on a small eyeliner brush and run the colour along your lower lashline.  2. Next take a cream shimmery champagne eye shadow and apply it to the inner corner of your eye using your ring finger. I used Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Barely Branded .   3. Take a flat eye shadow brush and add a dark bronze eye shadow onto the outer v of your eyelid, then blend it up into the crease. I used Urban Decay Eye Shadow in Smog from the original Naked Palette. Pop a little bit of the colour along the outer half of your lower lashline.  4. Grab a fluffy eye shadow brush and blend out the edges of yo...
