Warm Shimmery Eyes- A Festive Makeup Look

Hi all and happy Friday! We're five days away from Christmas, that is, yummy food and presents (if you have not opened them already). However, we must not let the Ham, Pastelles and Sorrel (for my trinis) make us forget the true meaning of Christmas. 

Here's a bright day time look for this season. It consists of warm pinky/gold tones with some shimmer. Enjoy!

PRODUCT

Too Faced Natural Eye 

Shades Used: Push up and Silk Teddy

TUTORIAL

STEPS

1. Use a warm pinkish/burgundy colour as your base.
2. Apply a medium bronze shadow to the lid.
3. Deepen the crease with more of the base colour, carrying it down to the lower lash line.
4. Apply a bright, shimmery pink/gold shadow to the tear duct area and along 1/4 of the lower lash line, as well as to the very center of the lid.
5. Use a black eyeliner pencil or gel liner to the top and bottom lash line and smudge for a softer look.
6. Curl lashes and apply mascara.

That's it! I hope this tutorial was easy to follow. For those of you who like a simpler, less dramatic eye look for the holidays, give this a try. It really brightens up the eye and looks very pretty. Don't forget to leave a comment letting me know your thoughts on this look and any constructive criticism. Thank you for viewing my blog!

Holiday Smokey Eye Tutorial- Naked 2 Palette

Hi all! So it's getting closer and closer to Christmas and although I had hopes of posting holiday tutorials much earlier in December, today is my first. I decided to begin with a smokey eye look since the holidays is a time filled with lots of night events like Christmas dinners and parties. With the exception of one, all eye shadows used are from the Naked 2 Palette. This look can be worn with both a nude lip or a more bold red lip colour (although I'm not that daring). Hope you enjoy this tutorial!

PRODUCT

Colours Used: Blackout, Busted and YDK

STEPS

1. Prep eyes by concealing them and applying a neutral base colour. This tutorial shows how to.

2. Apply a very deep matte brown shadow to the crease and blend very well, carrying the colour upward.

3. Apply a matte black shadow to the entire lid and blend into the crease colour. 

4. Apply a dark shimmery brown colour on top of the black.

5. Highlight the inner corners of your eye with a light glittery shadow, also applying it along 1/4 of the bottom lash line and to the very center of the lid.

6. Finish the look with some black eyeliner and mascara.

ALL DONE!

I think this look is so gorgeous and I hope you try it out. Feel free to leave a comment below and share your thoughts. Remember to blend blend blend and you'll be good to go! Thank you!
