Tutorial Tuesday // Intergalactic

Welcome to Tutorial Tuesday! This week's tutorial is an intergalactic blue and silver eye makeup look featuring some new NYX Cosmetics pieces I have recently purchased. I really like the silver glitter element to the look and you can even change the lid colour to any shade you want!

As always I am priming the eyes using the NYX Waterproof Eye Shadow Base. This is going to create a tacky base to help the eye shadows stay on.
To set the primer I am patting a matte bone shadow across the lids and up to the brow bone and this will just help the colours to blend out a bit more evenly.
 The first shade I am going in with is Makeup Geek Eye Shadow in 'Crème Brulee' and I am using a 228 brush from Zoeva to blend this into the crease to create a contour effect.
 Then I am mixing 'Mocha' and 'Frappe' from Makeup Geek and buffing this into the inner and outer corners, blending in towards the centre of the crease.
 I am creating a base for the blue eyeshadow using the Collection Cream Eye Shadow in Denim and using a Shading Brush from Real Techniques to blend it out.
 With a 234 brush from Zoeva, I am patting the NYX Solo Eye Shadow in 'Galactic' all over the lid on top of the cream base.
 I am mixing 'Mocha' with a little bit of 'Frappe' and reapplying this into the crease to soften the edges of the blue.
 Next, with the NYX Crystals Liner in Crystal Silver, I am lining the crease and flicking the liner out in a wing shape and then finishing off by lining my upper lash line with a matte black liquid eyeliner and underlining the wing of the silver glitter.
 I am finishing off with some coats of mascara and on my lips I was wearing the NYX Lip Lingerie in Ruffle Trim.
So I hope you guys liked this weeks Tutorial Tuesday! Be sure to come back next Tuesday for another 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
