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!

From Day To Night: A Makeup Look + Easy Winged Liner

Hello everyone! Today I was in the mood to do a full face of makeup and decided to blog about it. I have a lot of fun sharing with you the looks I come up with, so, this one is gonna be a tutorial/ makeup look/ day to night makeup...er... you'll understand. I did use a mixture of high end and drugstore makeup.

Quick side note: I usually buy my makeup at Superpharm or Total Care in Trinidad and all the high end makeup shown was purchased at both Ulta and Sephora when I was abroad. If you are looking for higher end makeup to buy in Trinidad, Total Care Pharmacy sells a decent amount and I'm always surprised when they have the latest makeup products. If you know other places in Trinidad that sells high end products (besides mac) let me know!

Onto the makeup looks!

DAY LOOK

The steps are pretty straightforward so I won't go into detail. I basically created a simple winged liner with a reddish brown colour blended in the crease (I used mac's blunt which is a blush but I love using it as an eye shadow). I finished off with some mascara and thats it!

For face makeup, I used my beauty blender to apply my foundation since it gives a flawless finish without it looking cakey or heavy. I applied a very light amount of bronzer and a creamy pink blush to keep the look fresh and natural. I finished off with a light pink lip colour and gloss. I also kept my hair natural and loose. 

TRANSITION INTO NIGHT

To take this look into night, add some black eye shadow to the lids and blend well. Also, blend some of the same black shadow on the lower lash line. Using a black pencil liner, line your water line as well as tight line. Finally highlight your brow bone and tear duct area with a shimmery white shadow. 

For your face, apply a deeper blush colour to your cheeks as well as a darker lip colour. Super easy right?
