Smoky Halo Eye Makeup Tutorial

Recently on my blog I reviewed the incredible new Naked Smoky palette from Urban Decay and in that blog post I did a tutorial using the palette. Since I love the palette so much I wanted to do a different tutorial and I absolutely love this look, its a halo themed smoky eye and its a great look to wear on a night out.

I am beginning by buffing the shade 'Combust' through the crease using a large blending brush.
The next shade I am using is 'Password' and I am using a precise tapered blending brush and blending this into the crease and creating a gradient with the previous shade.
Then I am using the shade 'Thirteen' and I am blending this under the brow bone for highlight.
With the brush from the Naked Smoky palette, I am using the smudger end to apply 'Slate' into the inner and outer corners and precisely in the crease. I am then blending so there are no harsh lines.
With a dense eye shadow shading brush, I am patting 'Armour' all over the lid and gently blending with the previous shade.
Then I am patting 'High' just on the centre of the lid.
Then I am just adding some depth to the makeup by applying the shade 'Black Market' over the 'Slate' shade and blending so there are no harsh lines.
On the lower waterline I am lining it with a black kajal liner and smoking out the line with 'Black Market' and 'Armour'.
To finish the eyes I am lining my upper lash line with liquid eyeliner and then I am applying false eyelashes.




What are your thoughts on the new Urban Decay Naked Smoky palette?

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
