My Everyday Makeup Tutorial // NYX Ultimate Shadow Palette

Hello and welcome back! I hope you're all doing well and today I have my first makeup tutorial of the year! This is my current go-to look and I am loving the NYX Ultimate Shadow Palette in Warm Neutrals to create a warm bronze look for this time of year. If you'd like to see how I achieve this look then keep reading!

Before I apply the eyeshadow, I am applying an eyeshadow primer all over the lids and setting it with the lightest shade from the Ultimate Shadow palette. Using my favourite 228 brush by Zoeva, I am blending the first shade on the second row all the way through the crease.
 I'm also using a cream eyeshadow base for this look and I took my favourite Rosie for Autograph Cream Eyeshadow in Almond Eyes and blended it across the lids with a Base Shadow brush from Real Techniques. Then over the top, I patted the light shimmery colour on the second row of the NYX Palette.
Begin to define the crease by blending the darkest shade on the third row through the crease, making sure to soften the join between the lid and crease shade. I used the Real Techniques Essential Crease Brush for this.
 To define the shape of the eyes, I took my angled eye shadow brush and the darkest brown in the palette and created a V shape on the outer corner and blended with the RT crease brush.
 I wanted to lighten the lid colour a bit so I used one of the light shimmer shades from the top row of the palette and patted this on the inner third of the lid and blended the two shades together.
 On the lower lash line I basically replicated what I did on the lid and blended it out so it went hazy and smoky.
 I finished with a slick of liquid liner winged at the outer corner and a pair of Lash by Superdrug in the Natural 20 edition.

I hope you guys like this look, it's really wearable and easy to do. You can get this palette from Boots which is now a stockist of NYX in the UK which I am so excited about, I absolutely love NYX products so stay tuned to see more posts featuring their makeup!

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
