Egyptian eye Holiday look IV

This is a Egyptian inspired eye look. It can be worn for the holidays or for special occasions. Why not wear it out on a regular day? There is not a lot of blending needed to complete this look but you will need to know some basic blending skills like window shield motion. I hope you enjoy, this was a really fun look to complete!

Products:
•Mac e/s- Seedy Pearl (lid), Copperplate (inner crease), Carbon (lash line, inner crease), Orange (crease color)
•Mac brush- 239,217,212,231
•NYC unnamed liner in Pearl black
•NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk

Step 1: Apply primer with your ring finger and blend all around the eye. I chose Nyx jumbo eye pencil in Milk.

Step 2: Pick up your 239 mac eye shadow brush and pat on the shade "Seedy Pearl."

Step 3: Now take your 217 brush and go into Orange. In a window shield motion (back and forth) blend this shade in. Since this shade has extremely neon coloring take very little of it from the mac shadow pan so it turns out like a copper. Taking a little amount will tone it down!

Step 4: Using the same brush go into Copperplate. We are going to use this shade to deepen out crease a bit more. Using the brush blend this shade in, since we want to deepen the crease when you blend make sure it "curves" with your eye shape. Using a little bit of the shade "Carbon" blend it into the shade copperplate. Remember use a back and forth and even up and down blending method.

Make sure to blend using a method that works for you!

Step 5: using a 212 go into mac's Carbon. Line your lash line using this, make sure you line the full lash line. Using a 231 blend the black in.

Step 6: Pick up your eyeliner and line like you would normally. Then extend the liner so it should look like a cat eye. In the tear duct connect both sides and make a triangle of some sort. What I mean by "connecting both sides" is connect the lash line and upper lash line's eyeliner together.

Make sure it all connects together when you are complete with lining!

Optional: add a highlight, I used Mac's Gesso.



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.

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.

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.

Upcoming Holiday Looks/ Snow MUL

       It is getting colder out and Christmas is a month away. I have started sketching out some holiday looks for everyone. Some of the colors I have been using is MAC's Forgery and some deep greens and bright reds. Red and green really do go with Christmas and the spirit! If you are planning to complete a holiday look comment what you are going to do and some of the products as well! Some combinations you guys can do to brighten up this upcoming holiday month is reds, frosty whites, green, and surprisingly purple! Purple is a great alternative for a red I found it has that same sort of flare. I have started with "The Looks" though and I have one below with directions and everything.

      This upcoming holiday which is Thanksgiving can be a really tricky sort of eye makeup to do. Why so tricky you may ask? Well using the right golds, amber's really does matter it can change your whole look! If you have fair skin try using pure gold and antiqued copper's even amber! For medium skin tones opted in for pale golds and true tarnished browns. Lastly, for darker skin tones go for anything tarnished and even try going into a sparkly true black!

My look from the other day was a snow look, it goes with my lips which can be found on my Facebook page.

Tools:

Mac- 239, 224

Mac e/s - Forgery,Wedge, Carbon

NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk

Step 1: Apply primer all over your eye. I chose Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk. Using my ring finger I spread the color out.

Step 2: Pick up your 239 and go into the shade "Forgery". In a packing motion (Up and down) apply this color in the tear duct and lid area. This color packs fast but to get it to the "just right" stage like I did I repeated this step a few times. Grab your 224 and dip it into Wedge in a back and forth motion blend this into the crease to add depth.

Step 3: Line your eyes in a kitten eye look. To do the "kitten eye" line like normally and then pull from the end of your eye and make a arrow, thinking of it that way will help trust me!

Step 4: Apply mascara and you are done!
