Day To Night Makeup // Ft Wet n Wild Vanity Palette + Swatches

I love posting day to night makeup looks, mainly because there are only a few elements that you need to change in order from it going to a wearable day time look to a sexy & smoky night time eye. Here I am "showcasing" the Wet n Wild Vanity palette. The decision to go out this night was last minute so I didn't have time to completely change it up so it was easy to intensify what I had on from the day.

 Day

 To me this day look is quite boring, not enough definition in the outer v, I kept the lower lash line almost bare with just a bit of eyeliner in the waterline & the eyeliner is not dark enough, personally. But it looked nice with the glowy cheeks & lips. Maybe I shouldn't say boring but it doesn't do anything special for me.
I am really sorry but I cannot remember what I am wearing on the rest of my face! Apart from the usual foundation/ highlight/ bronzer.

Night

As I mentioned I didn't have too much time to change it up. Whenever I apply over old makeup I always reapply my primer which acts sort of like a cleanser in a way, and nothing cakes up. I even used my eye primer over the eyes & reapplied the eyeshadow for more colour. I did the usual winged eyeliner & also applied eyeliner on the lower lashline & waterline unblended for a more dramatic look. Add more more mascara & it's complete. I also kept under my eyes highlighted & started contouring from the temple to leave the highlight more defined.

Swatches

The Wet n Wild Vanity palette offers 6 brown/ gold toned shades perfect for any neutral & wearable look. All swatches are done over Nyx's Base in White as I would always use them over the top of any kind of sticky base. I patted them on with a brush to get ultimate pigmentation, so be aware if you were to swatch it without any base it would not show up as pigmented.

Starting from the 1st row, top to bottom:
Left:
-A pinkish skin coloured base, good for blending or as a highlight. Meant to be similar to MAC Brule
-A mid toned soft brown good for in the crease or to blend out. Similar to UD Buck.
-A darker brown good for defining the lash line or outer v. Meant to be very similar to MAC Handwritten
Right:
 -A vanilla toned light shimmery highlight colour. Similar to MAC Shroom?
-Gold, beautiful lid colour. Similar to UD Half Baked
-Bronze-brown, a nice pair with the gold. In between UD Darkhorse & Smog.
 The left side has a matte finish and the right side is shimmery, if you couldn't tell by the swatches.

I have been (up until now) using the darker matte & soft brown colours to fill in my eyebrows as I have almost finished the brown from my Sleek Storm palette but now I have my NYX eyebrow kit.

How do you take your makeup from day to night?

Thank you for looking, as always!

My actual V-day Makeup //Day To Night

I know it's almost been 2 weeks but as long as it's still February, right? (I always seem to be late, lol!)
But I still wanted to share my day-to-night makeup that I wore on Valentines day/ night.... because I can! Not that I need one day out of the whole year as an excuse to wear pink ;)

~Day

As you can see I kept everything in the colour family, starting with my eyes using mainly Inglot, my cheeks & my lips, but I didn't want an actual pink lipstick, this is more on the purple side which matches half of my eyelid!

Products
Face: Rimmel Wake Me Up, Garnier BB Cream.
Nars Laguna Bronzer,
ELF HD blush in Headliner, Nyx Blush in Peach
Eyes: MAC Painterly Paintpot, Nyx Eye Base in White
Inglot AMC Shine 39 [light pink, inner lid, lower lashline], AMC 74 [purpley-pink, outer lid, lower lashline], DS 460 [crease, light brown],  P 393 [highlight]. Maybelline Master Precise Eyeliner, Nyx JEP in Milk [waterline], La Splash Miami Beach [lower lashline]. Essence I <3 Extreme Volume mascara.
Lips: Inglot lipstick #253.

Night~

As natural as the light could get.

Products
Face: Same foundation as earlier but reapplied heavier. Same bronzer & highlighter.
Bourjois blush in #54 
Eyes: Basically the same Inglot eyeshadows used during the day reapplied on the eyelid and blackout from the UD Naked 2 palette in the Outer V blended with the same crease colour as before. Pixie Epoxy on the outer half of the lid & La Splash Miami Beach glitter. Ardelle Demi Wispie falsies.
Lips: Bourjois lip liner in #11, but I think the lipstick was a mixture of a few colours.. Nyx Black Label lipstick in Nude & Revlon Colourburst lipstick in Candy Pink was it, I think!

 

What I wore out to dinner with the Fiance, I got this dress from ozsale a while ago and it was my first time wearing it and the top part was super itchy but I ended up forgetting about that soon... I had such a frustrating time getting ready as it was humid as hale and nothing seemed to be going right and then when I was getting out of the car, the door slammed into my arm because of the wind so I had a sore arm for the whole night... but the rest of it was good :)

Thanks for looking, although this is a late post! xxx

Day To Night// Graphic Gold & Black // Ft Katy Perry lashes

I started out with this makeup during the day.... it isn't essentially a day time look but it was day enough for me :P We were in the city for Stereosonic (best day!!) but this was the day before were we got to go out to lunch & shopping with friends and we got to see our niece for the first time in ages! Sorry for the pic heavy post.
Day Makeup

I did my eyes at home but finished with my foundation in the car, I was trying out a sample of the Garnier BB Cream, but as I put it on I realized it was a medium colour & a bit too dark & orange looking for me, but I blended & blended & added everything else and the colour didn't turn out too bad in the end. Unfortunately I couldn't open the packet properly and some splattered onto my strap :@ so I tried to rub it off but got lipstick on it too and made it even worse!!! *DOH* I took out my hair and kinda twisted the strap to hide it. So annoying!

Night
After this busy, exhausting day I didn't feel like completely starting my makeup over again but I wanted to dramat-ify it for a big night out (the random nights are the best!) I also *had* to use my Oh My! Katy Perry lashes by Eyelure.

Mini Lash Review

These seriously are the thickest lashes ever. They are double banded so they feel really sturdy. I had to cut mine down to shape just a tiny bit, & as they were quite stiff they weren't the easiest to put on but I'm sure they will be easier to apply next time. They are probably a bit too overwhelming for my eyes, especially when they are open, but that wont stop me from wearing them again. I also didn't need to curl my lashes into them as I curled them beforehand & already had a heap of mascara on.

With my "mustached friend" hehe.

Also if you're wondering I got my top from www.allyfashion.com.au instore a couple of weeks ago, it is a lemon coloured peplum style top with a peak-a-boo back. Although I changed it for going out since it was stained! I wore it with black shorts during the day but I would have paired it with a black bandage skirt for night.

Thank you so much for looking! Take care xx

Brigitte Bardot take 2; Day to Night look.

 Every now & then I check my stats & the one post that is always up the top is this Brigitte Bardot inspired makeup look I did a while back, although I cringe now but I feel that I have improved a lot, especially with my skin. :).

Day

My hair looking lush, with a bit of help.

On the eyes I used Nyx chrome white pearl e/s with a bit of Stila Kitten all over the lid with Satin Taupe in the crease for definition & blended out with a lighter brown.
Eyeliner is Maybelline Eye studio liquid e/l (I think thats the name), however I dun goofed it up :(
Cheeks are looking like NYX pinky blush & lips are a mixture of Revlon Nude Attitude & CG lip perfection in kiss (love this combo! Revlon NA helps take out some of the frostiness of kiss)

Only just a few more pageview's for all time. haha

Night
Had a party to go to & I had the worst time getting ready (burnt cheek while doing my hair, lots of frustration) but after all that trouble we didn't even stay for long. Ohwells.

 

Got my bitch face on. Whoops! I did my hair in a rush so it looks like crap.

So I prettymuch intensified the eyeliner with some of Fyrinnaes Immortal E/S, a gorgeous black glitter which reflects different colours. Its a bit hard to tell with these pics though. I used NYX black bean JEP on the lower lash line, & I used tape this time to get a sharper edge since I brought it out more & obviously used falsies. I used the same ones as I did with my first BB look (sadly, this was their last look with them, they died after I tried to look after them :( )
On my cheeks looks like NYX peach & Lips are NYX soft matte lip cream in Tokyo. Which made my lips look painfully dry in this look.

SO I know it is pretty much exactly the same as my first look but its a look I won't get sick of coz I think its super sexy.

More Nakedness~

Hey beautifuls. Still been really busy & haven't had a chance to go on blogger since last week! Hopefully it's slowed down more. Updates about the new job later!

So I still love playing around with my Naked palette & finding out new combos. You will see a ton of work looks with them since its so easy to reach for in the morning.
This is one of my fave combos from the palette, which I find is a  gorgeous sexy smokey eye. I wore this to work & had a horrible customer that day who abused me, (retail- that figures!) & I cried when she left :( So I ruined my makeup dammit, & we were going out for tea that night but we were going to the gym beforehand anyway so I had to redo it.
~Look 1~

Cheeks- E.L.F blush in Peachy Keen. Lips- bare,except for  lip balm.

So & I out for dinner that night. Well we were with family as well :)

Eyes- Sin all over the lid (originally I started with sidecar but changed my mind). After I completed the look I added some gold from the Sleek Storm palette because I didn't want it to be too pinky.
Gunmetal applied diagonally to the outer corner & outwards, blending into the crease. Creep added into the outer v & blended.
Hustle applied lightly into the crease with a pointed crease brush.
Black eyeliner under on lash line + underneath the eye, smudged out with gunmetal.
Lightest colour from sleek storm as a highlight.

~Look 2~  Day to Night

Yukky blending- being in front of the window the light picked it up.

Ok so this is a way older look. Stila Kitten is on the lid with Creep in the outer corner, I applied it so it was more of a cat eye shape but it didn't execute well in the pics. Naked is blended into the crease.


NiGHT

Added more eyeliner, made outer corner darker with smog, more blush & brighter lipstick- Nyx Spellbound.

No editing.. pic just turned out super purple. I like it, haha.

Thanks gals & guys, hope I can get some more drafts organized soon!!!
