Face of the Day: Rose Gold Eyes!

Welcome back!

Today's look is a little different for me as I'm not one to branch away from gold/brown eye shadow shades... or at least I wasn't until I met the naked 3 palette! In case you hadn't guessed, I am OBSESSED with the latest addition to the UD naked family. I'm still experimenting so hence all of my looks lately have been achieved using this palette.

I felt as it's now spring it was time I used some different colours and copper/rose gold is never usually one I reach for but I actually love this look, it really works well for those who have green eyes and my eyes are mainly green and I did notice that these colours really made them pop and stand out :) (once again I had trouble getting pictures that really did the eye look justice, sowwy guys) here are some pictures of my creation:


the eyes were actually a lot more metallic and sparkly but the photo's didn't really pick that up, so lets just use our imaginations for now ;) it still looks super pretty in the pictures though so it's a start!

what I used:
Urban decay naked 3 palette
transition shade: limit
all over shade: burnout 
on top: trick (had to use fix+ as this shade is VERY chunky and gives loads of fall out)
crease: nooner
outer corner and crease to add depth: mugshot
inner corner and brow highlight: emite makeup in NECT (I think, it's not very clear on the packaging) then over top- shroom by MAC! 
Autograph gel eye liner
l'oreal telescopic mascara
lips: mac prep and prime, hue & creme cup over top
bronzer: mac refined golden
blush: benefit cosmetics coralista
highlight: MAC in for a treat (LE)

I decided to use a nude shaded lipstick in this look to make sure all attention was on the eyes, hue is a very yellow/orange based nude so I just swiped a bit of creme cup over the top in order to add a little more colour to my lips.
I also used a coral blush in order to tie it into the orange-y-shades theme! :)

What did you think of this look? Tell me in the comments below! Thanks for reading<3

Face of the day: Dramatic Day Look!

Hi Guys,

welcome back and yes it's another make-up look! This is what I wore to work the other day, I was so pleased with this look I had to share it with you. It's quite dramatic and smoky for the day but I love it! 

I did find it really hard to get good enough pictures as no matter what, the pictures just didn't do it enough justice and show it in all it's glory, I did edit them in order to try and get the colours to show better -but alas I tried my best and here's the snaps I got :)

Tried using a super bright light so that's why I look so ummm... shiny? haha.

Here's what products I used to achieve this look:

eye base: MAC painterly paint pot
Transition shade: limit
all over: strange
on top: liar
crease: nooner (blended)
corner: factory & darkside
lid: bit of buzz
(all urban decay naked 3 palette)
brow & inner corner highlight: MAC shroom
autograph gel eyeliner
l'oreal telescopic mascara
brows: MAC pencil -lingering
bronzer: MAC refined golden
blush: MAC at dusk (LE)
Highlight: MAC shape the future (lighter shade) (LE)
lips: MAC creme cup

MAC's 'at dusk' is a very subtle pink blush that looks so natural on the skin! especially when applied with a stippling brush. I decided to pick the most natual pink blush I had in order to stick with the romantic theme like a natural 'flush' on the cheeks, but then the blush allowed the attention to still be focused on the dramatic eyes. Definitely didn't want anything to harsh for the day time especially with such defined eyes.
I also decided to use MAC creme cup as it's my go-to lipstick that goes with everything. It's definitely a 'my lips but better' lipstick colour so looked perfectly natural as well. 

Thanks for stopping by!
Hope you liked this look and let me know what you thought of it!?
