Unusual Smokey Eye


Gosh, I used SO many colours on this one, i'm not sure if i can tell you exactly what i did :)

Basically i started do draw the shape with MAC fl in Blacktrack, blended and worked with black and purple e/s to soften the edges...this is what i remember:

Illamasqua UEC130
MAC Select Cover-Up in NW15
Illamasqua PF135
MAC Powder Blush in Pink Swoon

MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack
MAC e/s in Carbon
MAC e/s in Fig. 1
MAC e/s in Vanilla
MUFE e/s 92
i'm sure i used more, but you get the idea :)
MAC Plushlash Mascara in Black
Browset in Girlboy

MAC Cremesheen in Petite Indulgence (LE)

The Body Shop Spring Trend - Look

Here are the Spring Trend Shimmer Cubes by The Body Shop (TBS)

First of all - I know TBS isn't famous for their make up but this quad is quite nice, since last year there was a significant improvement in the products they launched.

The colours are sheerer than they look but if you have a stiky base and pack them on and on you can get a vibrant colour pay off.



from left to right and from top to bottom:

Sea Shell - looks peachy but it's so sheer even i can use it as a highlighter
Sparkling Sky - a medium blue
Emerald Sea - a medium teal
Hushed Orchid - is a very, very subtle lavender

I really like Emerald Sea - it is very pretty with TBS Eye Shimmer in Emerald layerd on top!
I did a look with this Quad but sadly the Camera didn't pick up the colours very well - looks WAY more teal irl!

Emerald Sea - Lid and lower Lashline
Eye Shimmer in Emerald - on top of Emerlad Sea and Tearduct
Sparkling Sky - Crease and lower Lashine
Emerald Sea - above Crease
Sea Shell - Browbone

TBS Autumn Trend Rose Blush Trio on my Cheeks

I applied TBS l/s in 58 later on my lips - a vibrant neon pink

Neutral Eye and bold Lips



I love vampy lips - i think they go very well with every skintone, as long as you feel comfortable wearing bold lips you should go for it!
Usually i don't really like the "intense lips - neutral eyes and vice versa"-rule but sometimes it's nice to make one facial feature the center of attention :)

What I used:

Illamasqua UEC130
MAC Select Cover-Up in NW15 mixed with Jojoba Oil
Illamasqua PF135
Illamasqua Powder Blusher in Disobey for Contouring
MAC Powder Blush in Strada

MAC Next to Nothing e/s (LE) - any light shimmery colour will do - lid up to the browbone
The Body Shop e/s in 07 in the crease
MAC lll in Classic Cream top Lashline - a shame they dc it :(
MAC Dazzlelash mascara in black
MAC Browset in Girlboy

MAC Currant Lipliner
MAC Mattene in Bing (LE)
excuse my sloppy lipline - i was in a hurry, i am usually paying more attention :)
