Looks: Natural Beauty

Hello everyone,

today I want to show you all one of my rare neutral looks. And also the main reasons why I don’t wear them more often: they wash me out. I think the makeup itself is nice, natural and very appropriate for school or work, but on my pale skin, it just makes me look ill.

I think it would have looked better if I had used a brown shade with pink undertones on the lid instead than such a pale, creamy color, but oh well, I can always try that next time. As for now, here’s the pix. I hope you like them and if you have any suggestion on how I could have improved the look, please share. Constructive criticism is always welcome.

Products used:
– Senna Totally Transforming Eyeshadow Primer
– Get in line palette (pale beige)
– Sleek Curious palette (white)
– NYC Metro Quartet in Union Square (medium and dark browns)
– Pupa black pencil liner
– Wet n Wild Kajal & Eyeliner in white
– Maybelline Volum Express Cat Eyes Mascara

Directions:
– Apply an eyeshadow primer (I used Senna Totally Transforming Eyeshadow Primer) all over the lid as a base for the shadow to adhere better.
– Pat a pale beige shade (I used the one in the Get in Line palette) on the lid. Using a pencil brush, swipe some on the lower lashline too.
– Apply a white shade (I used the one in the Sleek Curious palette) on the browbone to highlight it.
– Apply a medium brown shade (I used the crease one in the NYC Metro Quartet in Union Square palette) on the crease.
– Darken the outer V with a dark brown shade (I used the contour one in the NYC Metro Quartet in Union Square palette).
– Line your upper lid with a black pencil liner and your waterline with a white pencil liner.
– Finish off with mascara.

Looks: Simple Purple and White

Hello everyone,

what look do you usually wear when you don’t have much time to get ready in the morning? When that happens, I either do a neutral look or wear a neutral shade on the crease and a colorful one of the lid. But this time I decided to do something different.

I used a colorful shade (in this case purple but if you have trouble rocking it you can use any other color you want) on the crease and white on the rest of the eye. I really like how it turned out. It’s soft and wearable but still gives a nice pop of color to the face. What do you think?

Products used:
– Senna Totally Transforming Eyeshadow Primer
– Sephora Colorful Mono Eyeshadow in Aspen White
– Sleek Original palette (purple)
– Sleek Curious palette (lilac)
– Wet n Wild Kajal & Eyeliner in white
– Max Factor Masterpiece Max Mascara

Directions:
– Apply an eyeshadow primer all over the lid to create a base for the shadows to adhere to.
– Swipe a white shade (I used Sephora Colorful Mono Eyeshadow in Aspen White) all over the lid, crease, browbone and tearduct.
– Now, apply a bright purple shade (I used the one in the Sleek original palette) on the crease and blend. With MAC 219 pencil brush, swipe the same shade on the lower lashline too.
– Swipe a soft, lilac shade (I used the one in the Sleek Curious palette) on the edges of the purple in the crease area near the browbone to soften any harsh lines.
– Apply a white eyeliner on the waterline. This will open up the eyes.
– Finish off with mascara.

Looks: Fuchsia Sunlight

Happy Monday everyone!

I hope you all had a lovely and relaxing weekend. As for me, I spent it battling an ear inflammation. I went to see my doctor on Friday because I released that I couldn’t hear anything out of my left ear anymore! That was a terrifying moment, I tell you! Luckily my doctor said it’s nothing serious and prescribed ear drops to apply 3 times a days. And it seems that, slowly, my hearing is coming back. What a relief!

In another news, I wanted to show you a look I did using one of my fave color combos: pink and yellow. Some people are skeptical when I say I like to pair these two colors together but I think they go very well with each other. I also added a bit of purple cos that always looks great with pink and the result was a beautiful and bright look that uplifted my mood for the entire day. Here it is:

Products used:
– Senna Totally Transforming Eyeshadow Primer
– Makeup Masala mineral eyeshadow in Agni
– Sleek Safari palette (yellow and white)
– Sleek Original palette (purple)
– Prestige Eyeliner pencil in Kiwi
– Maybelline Volum Express Cat Eyes Mascara

Directions:
– Apply an eyeshadow primer (I used Senna Totally Transforming Eyeshadow Primer) all over lid to create a sticky base for the eyeshadows to adhere to.
– Swipe a fuchsia shade (I used Makeup Masala eyeshadow in Agni) on the lid.
– Apply a slightly dark yellow shade (I used the one in the Sleek Safari palette) on the crease and blend well.
– Swipe a white shade (I used the one in the Sleek Safari palette) on the browbone to highlight.
– Using MAC 219 pencil brush, apply a bright purple shade (I used the one in Sleek Original palette) on the lower lashline.
– Line your waterline with a green pencil liner (I used Prestige Eyeliner pencil in Kiwi)
– Finish off with mascara.

Hello everyone,

did you miss my bright looks? I sure did so back they are! This time I used my beloved Sleek Acid palette, which contains 12 bright, bold and even some neon shades.
