Tutorial | Anti-Valentines Day Makeup

This post is going to be my second Valentines Day look and it is more of a dramatic 'anti' valentines look because personally, I dislike February 14th with passion but I did a traditional side of the look yesterday and today is my 'Anti-Valentines' look. The palette I am using is the MUA matte palette. 



The first step is to use a fluffy blending brush and apply the colour 'Fade' into the crease of the eye. This colour is a soft taupe colour. 

Next you need to draw a line from the outer corner to the brow bone. The colour I am using here is a mix of 'Penny' and 'Truffle'. 
Blend this color into the crease.
Take a damp cotton bud and remove the pointed tip to crease a smooth edge
Keep adding more of the same colour and keep blending until you get the look you want. Now we are going to make it darker. Use a pencil brush and trace out the outer 'V' of the eye using the colour 'Smoke'. Use a stiffer blending brush to blend it into the crease and the mix of the two brown colours. 
Draw the natural liner with a liquid liner.
Curl lashes and apply mascara.
For lips I am using NYC Lipstick in shade 411 and to add some shimmer I am applying MUA Lip gloss tube in shade 5.

So I hope you guys liked this tutorial

How To: Apply False Nails

Image
Hey guys Today I thought of doing a quick post today. Today I wanted to do a 'How To' post and this one is Applying False Nails. Even though it's easy, you need to do it properly so they look as natural as possible. And I'm going to tell you how I apply my false nails. You need: False Nails (you can get them cheap in supermarkets, makeup stores etc) Nail Glue (most nails come with glue, but you can buy glue at Superdrug for around £4 ( www.superdrug.co.uk ) Cuticle Pusher or cuticle stick Nail scissors (curved work best) Emery board 1) Begin by selecting the false nails that best fit your natural nail. It needs to be accurate because it will look more realistic. 2) Use a cuticle stick/pusher and gently push your cuticles back to avoid the nail sticking to it (which, will hurt if you take them off!!) If you want, you can cut the cuticles off. 3) Apply nail glue all over the natural nail. Be careful with the glue - it bonds in seconds, difficult to remove

MUA Cosmetics Review

Hey everyone Last week for my birthday, I went shopping and while I was in Superdrug and I  picked up some things from MUA (Makeup Academy). There are some products here I haven't tried, one product I have but not this particular name. I actually fell in love with this brand when it was a very small company when everything was £1! Then the company expanded which made me very happy and so I tried   these products and I have mixed reviews. The first product I am reviewing is the BB Cream. This is £4 in the MUA online store ( www.muastore.co.uk ) or in Superdrug ( www.superdrug.com ). I wanted a BB Cream because I find foundation is too heavy and is bad for your skin and I started to go off tinted moisturizer. Anyway, for the price in general is OK for the product. I bought Shade Medium last week and I think this is a bit too dark for me even though the medium and light shade are very similar. The BB Cream is easy to blend. For me, this is going to be mixed with something light
