- I am extremely happy with how the eyes turned out. Firstly I primed my lids with the eye primer from Urban Decay which really does make a huge difference to eyeshadow; it stays on so much longer without creasing and also shows up much more.
- Firstly I took the MAC paint pot in the colour Frozen Violet and blended this into the crease and outer corner of my eye.
- I then applied the shade Naked from the Naked palette in the crease and outer corner of my lid as the transition shade.
- Dipping into the Vice 3 palette next, I used the white shimmery shade, Bobby Dazzle on the inner corner of my eyes and just lightly underneath my brow bone.
- Again from the Vice 3 palette I applied the shimmery rose gold shade, Last Sin (one of my personal favourites) all over my lid.
- I then wet my brush lightly and dipped it into the MAC pigment, Tan. I packed this onto the middle of my lid and it created the most beautiful sparkly effect. I am a big fan of the MAC pigments.
- I took the shade Sonic from Vice 3, which is a rusty pink colour and applied this lightly to the outer corners of my eye and blended it into my crease about half way of my lid.
- Then to add definition I took the grey/purple shimmery shade, Angel from Vice 3 and applied this to the lower outer corner and blended.
- On my lower lash line I finished off with the shade Buck from the Naked palette and lightly blended it from the outer corner, half way in.
- I then used Benefits They're Real Liner (shock) for the cat eye effect.
- Added some fluttery lashes and then I was good to go!
I am now obsessed with ABH Dip Brow Pomade, if you have not tried it yet then I stress that you give it a go. I wasn't too sure which shade I would be as I have quite dark brows but my hair is ombre blonde on the ends, so I went for Medium Brown and it was a pretty good match considering I did the colour match online!
I have rekindled my love for MAC Studio Fix foundation. When a first purchased it I was in a rush to catch a train back from York and the MAC counter, as always, was extremely busy. I ended up picking a shade that was slightly too dark for me so I can only wear it when I have fake tan on. But as it is now summer, I am hoping (fingers crossed) to get a tan when I go to spain and I wear fake tan a lot anyway. I only apply one small pump as it is so thick and I don't think you need more than one layer. Especially if you are like me and have oily skin; I have found if you layer it too much then there is just more make up to slide about your face throughout the day and it is more noticeable.
I only have 8 more exams to go so I will be back to blogging full time soon!
