Rose Gold Eye Makeup Look

Hey!

Today's post is on this rose gold eye makeup that I've been wearing loads recently because I love it so much, the colours are super pretty and flattering!

For the eyes/brows I used;

Anastasia Dipbrow in Dark Brown,
Illamasqua Brow cake in Gaze
Maybelline Brow Drama brow gel 

Makeup Revolution Ultra Cover & Conceal palette in light
Makeup Geek Bitten, Peach Smoothie and Grandstand Eyeshadows
Makeup Revolution Awesome Metals in Rose Gold
Soap & Glory Thick and Fast Mascara
Rimmel liquid liner

For the face/lips I used;

Rimmel True Match + L'OReal Infallible foundations

Anastasia Contour Kit in light-medium

Rimmel Blush

MAC MSF in Soft & Gentle

Illamasqua lip pencil + Shard and Resist lipsticks mixed

NYX Dewy Setting Spray

For the eyes I started off with a base of concealer to cancel out veins and redness on my eyelids, also to carve out my brows so I could clean up any mistakes I'd made. Next I powdered it using the banana shade from the Anastasia contour kit just to set it down and make sure it would stay all day. I started off with a little bit of Bitten by Makeup Geek in the crease, barely dipping my brush for product so that the pigmentation wasn't too strong as I wanted this to be quite soft and blended. I blended out any edges I did end up having very softly with Peach Smoothie by Makeup Geek. I then put a very (and this is important) very thin layer of Makeup Revolution's Awesome Metals cream shadow in Rose Gold and then layered Makeup Geek's Grandstand shadow over top of the cream base. The reason for it having to be a thin layer is that this product tends to crease quite a bit if you apply it quite thickly and obviously, we don't want that! Haha. Next I just added a winged liner, added Bitten very softly to the lower lashes and then added mascara and I was done! :)

So, there's the look! I hope you enjoyed and I'll have a new post up soon :)

Winged Out Eyeshadow Look.

Hey lovelies!

Today's little makeup post is on a winged out eyeshadow look. I never tend to go with this unless I'm wearing liner but I actually really liked the way this turned out when I done it so I thought I'd do a little post on it!

I just packed on the Mesmerised eyeshadow by Makeup Geek all over the lid with a little bit of Makeup Revolution Awesome Metals in Rose Gold in the inner corner. I cleaned up the edges with a baby wipe and blended out any harsh lines but other than that, I was done with this look because I really loved how it turned out!

I used the Soap and Glory Thick & Fast Mascara, Anastasia Dipbrow in Dark Brown, Illamasqua Brow Cake in Gaze for the brows and mascara. For the face I used Rimmel True Match foundation in Ivory, Anastasia powder Contour Kit in Light-Medium, MAC MSF in Soft & Gentle and MAC's Velvet Teddy very lightly dabbed on the lips.

Favourite Everyday Makeup Eyeshadows

Hey lovelies,

Sorry for the lack of posting, I will get back into the swing of things soon! Today's post is about my favourite 'everyday makeup' eyeshadows! The three eyeshadows I reach for the most on a day to day basis, in other words.

From left to right: Cocoa Bear, Shimma Shimma and Mesmerised (all from Makeup Geek)

They are all beautiful colours and so easy to use from day to day! I can rarely ever go a day without using Cocoa Bear in my crease, it's just the perfect warm brown and goes with almost every look. Shimma Shimma is an absolutely stunning inner corner/brow bone highlight and it's also stunning all over the lid! Mesmerised is just such a gorgeous, unique shade and I love it for something quick to throw on that instantly makes it look like you've made an effort! 

So that's it from me today! What are your favourite day to day eyeshadows?

My Everyday Z-Palette.

Hey lovelies!

Here is my everyday eyeshadow Z-Palette.

Dita Von Teese Inspired Makeup Look.

Hey lovelies!

I was inspired to do this post because I honestly just love Dita Von Teese and she's just so beautiful. She makes me want to buy loads of corsets and waist train and be just the perfect pin up beautiful lady that she is, haha! Anyways, I seen this photo in particular:

(Sorry for the NSFW photo)

And felt like I had to do a look inspired by it! Obviously it's not going to be exact but that's just life and I added highlight where she didn't and I kept to bronzer rather than adding blush, purely because of personal preference.

Anyway here is the look I came up with:

I obviously had to add the trademark Dita beauty mark and red lip :)

I used:

Anastasia Dipbrow in Dark brown to outline my brows and fill them in slightly, then Illamasqua's Browcake in Gaze to fill them in more because Dita's brows are incredibly beautiful and thick and dark, I then used a very pale shadow all over my lid once I'd primed it to highlight the brow bone and set my primer - I used MAC's Orb for that. Then I highlighted the brow bone more with a little bit of Shroom by MAC. I then went in with Makeup Geek's Shimma Shimma in the inner corner and MAC's Wedge in the crease, I made sure to thoroughly blend it out so there was no harsh lines and Makeup Geek's Peach Smoothie mixed with Orb again just above the crease to make sure it was blended nicely. I then lined my upper lashline with Illamasqua's gel liner in Infinity. I used Rimmel's Wake Me Up foundation in Ivory and Collection's Lasting Perfection concealer to get rid of some imperfections. Then going on to the lips (cause I just couldn't wait tbh) with Jeffree Star's Redrum liquid lipstick. I then went in with Anastasia's Contour Kit to bronze up my complexion and finally MAC's Soft & Gentle MSF to highlight my cheekbones!

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed! :)

I quite liked doing a celeb inspired look so maybe look out for more of these in the future!

Makeup Geek Mini-Haul!

Hey lovelies!

I am coming at you with a mini haul from Beauty Bay in the form of four gorgeous Makeup Geek eyeshadows!

As some of you may know from this post here where I do a full review on more of the Makeup Geek eyeshadows, I love them! For the price and the intense pigmentation, they truly are amazing!

I'll start this off with the only matte one I got!

This is Cocoa Bear - I'm sure if you watch Jaclyn Hill or Rosi Jay Pierce you'll have heard them talk about this, it's a gorgeous warm brown transition and outer-v colour. I love it. Very happy I picked this up, prefer it to Peach Smoothie actually!

Next up is a foiled eyeshadow formula.

This is Grandstand. It's an absolutely gorgeous shimmery beautiful gold colour. It's definitely more of a bronzey-gold but it's gorgeous all over the lid. Definitely worth picking up!

Next two are the duo-chrome formula.

Top one is Steampunk and the bottom one is Blacklight. Steampunk is quite browny/green in colour, kind of like if you see oil on the road and it flashes lots of different sort of colours. It's really different and pretty. Blacklight is lilac/blue/pink. It's also gorgeous, it's quite interesting as in inner corner highlight actually. 

As always these eyeshadows blend like an absolute dream and they are well worth buying. 

I hope you enjoyed this post, thank you for reading!

Holy Grails: Top 3 Eyeshadows.

Hey lovelies!

Happy April Fools Day! Another one of my Holy Grail posts, this time in the form of eyeshadows. I decided to do this on single eyeshadows only and I'll do another post in the future of my holy grail eyeshadow palettes.

I'll start with my absolute favourite transition colour which is MAC's Wedge:

I love this so much because it's the perfect mixture of warm and cool toned and goes with so many looks it's unreal. If you want to see what other MAC eyeshadows I have check here.

Next up is Makeup Geek's Corrupt:

For like 6 pounds this black eyeshadow is amazing quality and I absolutely love it. There is a serious lacking of good black eyeshadows so I was pretty chuffed to find this one!

Lastly, we have Makeup Geek's Typhoon:

This is one of their duochrome shadows and I absolutely love it, it's perfect in every way, I mean honestly, look at it!! I wish I could wear it all day, every day, tbh.

That's my three holy grail eyeshadows! What are some of yours? Let me know in the comments :)

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed!

REVIEW: Makeup Geek Shadows.

Hey lovelies! 

I have lusted after Makeup Geek shadows ever since Marlena (who runs the youtube channel MakeupGeek, funnily enough) announced she was making products! I always admired her makeup and loved her channel so to hear she was making her own products was really exciting! Anyway, I lusted after them for a while, used to go on the MakeupGeek website and put lots of the shadows in my basket and then going against it. I just never wanted to get hit with the customs cost which always seems to happen to me. So, when Beauty Bay announced the arrival of MakeupGeek prodcuts I've never jumped on a website so quick! 

If you've ever ordered from Beauty Bay you'll know their service is amazing etcetc! But here are the shadows I currently own:

From left to right: Corrupt, Bitten, Mesmerized, Typhoon, Peach Smoothie & Shimma Shimma.

Of course I absolutely had to get the cult favourites Peach Smoothie & Corrupt. The rest are all gorgeous and have seemed to make their way into my daily routine. I also use Shimma Shimma as a highlight on the face at times as well, just a tip for anyone!!

Honestly the pigmentation of these eyeshadows is amazing and I was very pleasantly surprised, they are just as good as MAC eyeshadows, if not better, for half the price! Which honestly is amazing. I totally think these are worth the hype, totally worth the money and I think these will be a staple in my makeup collection. Sort of want every single colour they do, haha!

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed!
