Smokey eye, Holiday look III

This is a smokey eye but I am marking it as a holiday look because it fits. The reason I feel it fits is because the warm brown reminds me of a frosty cold Christmas. Most people are probably not going to do a extravagant red and green makeup look, they will more than likely opt in for a smokey eye. Today we are going to go right to the products because I did a different sort of eyeliner look and I would like to explain it.

Products:
•Victoria Secret "Hey Bombshell" pallet. From the left first color, and the second to last shade in the same row it should be a purple. The last eye shadow row on the right, the last shade it should be a dark brown. The 4th row contains blacks, I went into the matte shade of black the second to last shade.
•Mac paint pot in painterly
•Mac brush- 239,217,231
•Mac e/s- Carbon ( used to line the lower lash)
•NYC unnamed liner in "Pearl Black" can be found at a drugstore!

Step 1: Apply primer with your ring finger and blend all around the eye. I chose Mac paint pot in Painterly.

Step 2: Pick up your 239 brush and go into the first color in the farthest left shade. It should be a pink, then in a patting motion apply this shade. using the same brush go into the second to last shade in the same row, it should be a purple. Right on top of the pink pat this on.

Step 3: Pick up your 217 brush and go into the last eye shadow to the farthest right it should be a dark brown with some bronze to it. In a window shield motion blend this color in. To deepen the crease we will go into the 4th row, it contains blacks. Go into the matte black and blend this into the inner V of the eye.


So far it should look like this!

The lid contains a pink shade with purple on top, brown in the crease and a black shade that deepens the crease. We also applied a highlight, this is optional but I recommend it! If you are going to go into a highlight chose something close to your skin tone or something light.

Now for the last step we have to apply eyeliner. Line your eye like normally then create a triangle at the corner of your eye also called the tear duct. Using a flat brush blend in a black eye shadow on the lash line so the "Triangle" does not look odd. Using a 231 Mac brush I blended the black out and I applied it to my waterline. Good luck :D!

1- Patting motion is when you take your brush and tap up and down. It makes colors more vibrant rather than rubbing this shade in. Since we normally only pat light shades for the lid and pigments/glitters it is important to know this step.

2- Window shield motion is when you blend. It is blending back and forth, think of a car when it is raining. It is the process of "smoking" a shade into your crease. This can be done in circular motions as well. Just get into your own ways of blending.

Holiday look II

  So yesterday kicked off this seasons looks I will be doing. It will range in really dramatic looks to really subtle elegant looks. Today is one of those everyday looks with a elegant touch. Below I listed the steps and what products I used. When you do this look it is so effortless but, the colors being used are perfect for this winter.

Products:

• Mac e/s- Naked lunch (lid, tear duct), Mac Wedge (crease), Mac Gesso (highlight)

• NYC no name liner in Pearl black

• Mac brush's- 239, 217

• Mac paint pot in Painterly ( apply with finger as your first step)

Step 1: Apply primer with your ring finger and blend all around the eye. I chose Mac paint pot in Painterly.

Step 2: Grab your 239 brush and go into the shade ' Naked Lunch ' in a patting motion apply this shade.

Step 3:  Now pick up your 217 and go into ' Wedge' in a window shield motion blend this shade in. Remember we want to keep this elegant and light sort of looking so don't over do how much product you apply.

Step 4: Line your eyelids with any eyeliner then apply mascara.

1- Patting motion is when you take your brush and tap up and down. It makes colors more vibrant rather than rubbing this shade in. Since we normally only pat light shades for the lid and pigments/glitters it is important to know this step.

2- Window shield motion is when you blend. It is blending back and forth, think of a car when it is raining. It is the process of "smoking" a shade into your crease. This can be done in circular motions as well. Just get into your own ways of blending.

Autumn Looks #2

Another look I did and it is truly the same steps as my last Autumn look just a slight change in the products! My first Autumn look can be found here- http://themakeupbloggers.blogspot.com/2012/11/fall-inspire.html

                

Products:

Mac brushes- 239, 217
Mac e/s- Chrome Yellow
Maybelline Eye Studio- Give me Gold     

Before we go into steps, this look is really simple to complete.
 There is not a lot of blending needed to do and it is simple to complete if you are in a rush.

Step 1: Apply primer all over your eye. I chose Mac paint pot in painterly. Using my ring finger I spread the color out.

Step 2: Pick up your 239 and go into the pallet "Give me Gold" there are 4 colors. The one I used is the 1 shade from the left it is a pale sparkle color. In a packing motion (Up and down) apply this color in the tear duct and lid area. Make sure to leave room for the yellow we will be using next.

Step 3: Pick up your 217 and go into the third shade to the right. It is a copper with gold in it.  In a windshield motion blend this gorgeous color into the yellow. Make sure you blend so it looks fluent!

Last but not least just line your eyelids. I chose to do a cat eye but that is totally optional!

Pinky Swear

Totally pink! The cool part is there was not much used in this look. Below is the steps and products used.

Products used~

•Mac brush- 239, 212

•Mac Pigment- Fuchsia 

•NYX Pigment- Baby pink

•Mac e/s in Carbon

•Mac paint pot in Painterly

Before I go into the steps I would like to tell everyone the trick to this look is wetting your brush's with a bit of water! No it will not ruin them but, it creates a more vivid application of the pigment.

Step 1: Apply any primer I chose Mac's paint pot in Painterly. With my ring finger I blend the base up to my eyebrow.

Step 2: With a drop of water wet your 239 brush then dip it into Mac pigment in Fuchsia. In patting motion I applied the fuchsia/pink all of my lid. You can go back into the pigment for more of a vibrant look if you like.

Step 3: With the same brush go into NYX pigment in Baby Pink. Right on top of the fuchsia pigment pat on the baby pink. Apply the pink were you would apply the lid color. Keep on patting the color on until it is bright.

Step 4: Line the eyelids with mac carbon. I used the 212 brush wet and went into the eye shadow. I lined in a cat eye look. To achieve the 'cat eye look' line like you would normal then pull out from a corner and connect the lines you have made.

OPTIONAL!

I added glitter using NYX glitter pallet in Paradise and tapped it in the corner of my eye and on my eyelid.

ELEGANT

This looks is really gorgeous and I think pretty much anyone can pull it off!

                       

Here is what you will need:

• Mac 217, 239, 231

•Wet n' wild Mega Sparkle in White Icing 

•Wet n' wild Mega liner in "Indigo Blue''

•NYC eyeliner

•Mac paintpot in Painterly 

•Mac eye shadows in Winkle, and Gesso

  First apply a primer. I am using Mac Paint Pot in Painterly. Apply the primer all the way you to your eyebrow and make sure it is blended in! Next go into Gesso with a 239 brush and apply all over the lid area. Make sure you apply enough so it is extremely vivid! Now pick up your 217 and blend into the crease something that may help you in the process is to think of a windshield motion going up and side to side. Once you see it is perfectly blended you are going to line your eyelids. First line with black I am using NYC eyeliner you can do what ever eyeliner shape you per fur but I chose to do a cat eye because it is easier to apply the blue with still being able to see the black. To apply the blue all you have to do is outline the black eyeliner. The finale step is to pick up a tiny shadier brush I am using a 231 by mac and I dipped the brush into the Wet n wild Mega Sparkle in White Icing and patted it on my eyelid. I applied the sparkles on the white but very minimum. For the lips make sure to keep it simple!

You will apply this color on the lid area in a patting motion to make the color as vibrant as you want . Next take your 217 and go onto Maybelline's pallet you will dip the 217 into the 3 dark purple in the pallet to the bottom . To apply you will in a back and forth motion blend it into the yellow! I lined in dark black brown but , you can line in anything you want ! I used L'Oreal million lashes !

Orange and White!

So today I did a orange and white look ! This was fun to create .

The products I used were

-Mac paint pot in Painterly
- Mac eye shadow in Orange
-Mac eye shadow in Gesso
-Maybelline one by one mascara
-Mac 231 ( brush)
-Mac 212 (brush)

 First with a ring finger apply Mac Paint Pot in Painterly all over the lid as a base . Next grab your 231 or a small brush . Dip your brush into Mac Orange eye shadow and apply it to the corner of your eye and the crease . Do not drag the color all the way up in the crease thought! Next leave space in the middle to apply Mac Gesso . Blend the white into the orange by moving the brush back and forth . Whatever was done to your top lid should transfer to the bottom! Now take a black mascara like Maybelline one by one and wiggle the brush up from the lash line . Line your lids with a black liner .  Good luck!
