Hello everyone,
today I want to show you a look I did with peach, yellow and brown eyeshadows. I like how the peachy shade provides a nice pop of color to the eyes, yet the look is still very wearable, even for daytime. What do you think?
Products used:
- Too Faced Shadow Insurance
- Sleek Safari eyeshadow palette
- Shiro Cosmetics Loose Eyeshadow in Shaymin
- Shiro Cosmetics Loose Eyeshadow in Small Key
- Shiro Cosmetics Loose Eyeshadow in Ganondorf
- Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in Whiskey
- Chanel Inimitable Intense Mascara
- Liz Earle Sheer Skin Tint SPF15
- Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer
- Sleek Makeup Blush in Suede
- Essence Silky Touch Blush in Secret It-Girl
- Senna Spot Lites Highlighting Pencil
- Senna Pearl Glow Lip Lacquer in Sunkiss
Directions:
- Apply an eyeshadow primer to your eyes (I used Too Faced Shadow Insurance) to help makeup stay put all day.
- Apply a dark yellow shade (I used the one in the Sleek Makeup Safari palette) on the center of the lid.
- Apply a soft pink peachy shade (I used Shiro Cosmetics Loose Eyeshadow in Shaymin) on the sides of the yellow shade and blend well.
- Sweet a copper bronze shade (I used Shiro Cosmetics Loose Eyeshadow in Small Key) on the crease. Blend.
- Apply a black shade with red shimmers (I used Shiro Cosmetics Loose Eyeshadow in Ganondorf) on the outer V to darken it a bit.
- Sweep a white shade (I used the one in the Sleek Makeup Safari Eyeshadow palette) on the browbone.
- Sweep a rich, medium brown shade (I used the one in the Sleek Makeup Safari Eyeshadow palette) on the lower lashline.
- Line your upper lashline with a brown pencil liner (I used Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in Whiskey) and apply mascara.
- Apply foundation or tinted moisturizer to even out the skintone (I used Liz Earle Sheer Skin Tint in Bare) and follow with concealer (I used Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer) where needed (I used it to hide dark circles).
- Contour your cheekbones with a matte peachy brown blush (I used Sleek Makeup Blush in Suede), apply a peachy blush (I used Essence Silky Touch Blush in Secret It-Girl) on the apples of your cheeks and highlight the cheekbones, middle of the nose and chin with a an off-white highlighter shade (I used Senna Spot Lites Highlighting Pencil).
- Apply a semi-opaque pink gloss (I used Senna Pearl Glow Lip Lacquer in Sunkiss) on your lips.

Disposable mascaras wands are used by professional makeup artists to safely and hygienically apply mascara to their clients’ lashes, thus avoiding the risk of contaminating the tube and giving someone an eye infection. But disposable mascara wands can be a very handy and cheap tool for everyone to have around as they can be used for more than just applying mascara. Here’s what you can do with them:
1. Comb eyebrows
Disposable mascara wands are very handy when shaping your brows. Use the wand to brush brows upwards and into the direction of their natural hair growth pattern, and then trim excess hair. Then fill in your brows with powder or pencil and, with the wand, brush your brows again. This will soften the lines and remove any clumps that your wax or pencil may have left behind, giving a natural look to your brows.
2.Touch up your roots
If you dye your hair and need to touch up your roots only, you can do so by using a disposable mascara wand. Because the wand is small, it easily applies just the right amount of color you need only where you need it, ensuring a more precise and natural result.
3. Tame flyaway hair
Dealing with flyaway hair? Spray hairspray onto a disposable mascara wand and brush the flyaway hair back into place. You could do the same thing with a hair brush too but I find that, because mascara wands are smaller, they grab the flyaway hair better.
There are non-disposable versions of mascara wands, called lash brush or “spoolie” brush such as MAC 204 lash brush for instance, but I don’t like using them because these wands/brushes get dirty very quickly and they aren’t that easy to clean. The disposable versions are more hygienic and quite cheap too so I highly recommend you use those instead than a spoolie brush.
What about you? Do you use disposable mascara wands? If so, how?

Beautiful with brains says: Pupa Blusher Brush. It applies blush unevenly and the bristles scratch skin too… It’s really awful!
