Purple Halo Mermaid Inspired Eye Makeup Tutorial

Today's tutorial is a mermaid inspired purple eye look. This is a really simple look to create and I absolutely love how it turned out. I am using the Makeup Revolution Mermaids Forever Palette and selecting some purple shades as the main colour theme for the look and I am also using a solo MUA shadow to add some more depth later on.

 As always I am beginning by priming my eyelids with an eye shadow primer and then I am just blending a white eyeliner over the top to create a base to make the eye shadow pop.
 The first shade I am using is 'Urchin' from the Mermaids Forever palette and I am buffing this all the way through the crease as my transition shade.
 Then I am using a pencil brush to apply the shade 'Ocean' on the inner and outer corners, blending into the crease.
 Then I am adding some depth by using Shade 10 from the MUA single eye shadow collection and this is a deep purple with a little bit of sparkle
 Going back to the palette I am using the lightest shade and patting this all over the lid where there was no colour.
 I am adding some sparkle by patting some of the Barry M Fine Glitter Dust in Silver all over the previous shade on the lid.
 Then I am going back in with the solo MUA shadow to redefine the colour and to blend in with the glitter.
 On my lower lash line, I am using 'Urchin' and 'Ocean; to create a gradient from light to dark.
 To finish of the eyes I am applying liquid eyeliner, curling my lashes and applying mascara.
 On my lips I began by applying MAC Lipstick in Girl About Town and then I added a coat of Elizabeth Arden Lip Gloss in Intriguing Violet. I absolutely love this combination and the gloss created a mirror-like shine on my lips.

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
