Smokey Glitter; Subtle or Dramatic?

These are from 2 different weekends but I wanted to do a glittery cut crease & a subtle glitter clubbing look. I used the same Sleek Palette- my go to, dramatic-smokey-eye look Bad Girl in both looks with Glitter by Nyx. These are definitely way too OTT for during the day but perfect for an eye-catching night look.

 

Silver Glitter & Blue Dramatic Cut-Crease

Bad lighting in this look, my skin looks terrible :/. I think having the flu that week would have something to do with it, too. But I just remembered, the Fiancee has a horrible bluish tinged light, yuck!

Products

Face : (In both) Australis Paparazzi Perfect Foundation

MAC Peachykeen

Lips: Covergirl lip perfection l/s in Kiss

Eyes: Firstly I applied The Face Shop Dual Eye Colour in 'Silver' to the eyelid, and cut into the crease with Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil in 'Black Bean' and also on the lower lash line & waterline. On the lid I applied the lightest grey 'Blade' from my Sleek Bad Girl. Over Black Bean I placed 'Abyss' from Bad Girl & blended with 'Obnoxious' (both blues, the darkest first) coming as far into the inner corner as I liked. I also applied some 'Noir' right into the crease for further definition. I applied these in the same order on the lower lash line. Also highlight with 'Innocence' (shimmery white)
Now again on the lid I applied Nyx Candy Glitter Liner in Disco Ball all over, setting with the Nyx glitter in silver (loose glitter pigment).
I applied my eyeliner - Maybelline Master Precise & slightly winged it up, mascara & falsies & I'm done.

Smokey Purple, Subtle Glitter

'Goofy Smile Alert!!!'

Face: Foundation as above, Blush: MAC Dollymix
Contouring: Coastal scents 15 concealer (dark shades) ,Nude by Nature Eye Definition loose powder.
Lips: (new fave combo!) Nyx Harmonica & Australis Boogie Woogie. (Harmonica is too frosty on it's own so these L/S are a perfect pair!)

Eyes: After primer apply Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil in 'Slate' to the eyelid. Blend up slightly into crease. Apply 'Gun Metal' from Sleek Bad Girl (medium shimmery gray) on top, blending out. Apply 'Twilight' to the crease & blend out with 'Rebel' (both purples again from Bad Girl), do the same on the lower lash line & blend with a skin-toned coloured eyeshadow. Take Nyx Candy Glitter Liner in 'Disco Queen' on top of Gun Metal and then to set apply Fyrinnae loose eyeshadow in Immortal. {{As the shades on the lid are verry similar you will only catch a glimpse of the glitter which can make your eyes look more sparkly when they hit the lights at a flattering angle.}}
Apply your fave black eyeliner to the waterline & lash line, add mascara & falsies to complete the look.

Love this look on Makeupgeek if you would like :)

How do you like to wear glitter?

Masquerade Makeup: Drama if you dare.

A few weekends ago we went to a masquerade ball. Of course I wanted to do big, dramatic makeup for it lol. It was a really good night... when they started playing good music lol. The dress code was meant to be strict but there were quite a few people in short club dresses and people without masks... which is not what a masquerade ball is about! lol. Anyway, apart from that, it was reallly hot in the ball area and because my mask was tucked into my hair it was hard to take it off without my eyes smudging lol.

 Before changing:

 Products:
Australis Paparazzi Perfect fdtn
Coastal scents concealer palette
Nars Orgasm
Nude by Nature Eye Definer- contour
Nyx Chrome White E/S- Highlighter

TFSI
Nyx JEP Black Bean- Cut into crease, outer lid, lower lash line. Cut
Nyx JEP Cottage Cheese- Inner lid, highlighting.
1. Stila Kitten- Inner Lid
Sleek Bad Girl- 2. Gun Metal 3.Underground 4. Noir
5. Blade 6. Innocence
Glitter: MKA Glitter.
 BYS lashes- Starlette

 Lips
Revlon Lip Butter in Creme Brule & Nyx Sugarpie L/G

To get the sharp line in the crease firstly I made a rough line with Black Bean and a small eyeliner brush and then I went over it with Noir & an angled eyeliner brush for further definition. I really like how it turned out :)

A few things I'd like to point out:
Eyelashes: One went on weirdly so I had to pull it off and put it back on, removing some of the eyeliner. I  fixed it after the pics.
Also the eyes aren't completely even, but I didn't want to ruin the whole thing to fix that lol. And I wasn't too keen on the lip colour for some reason IDK why... but I didn't reapply anyway lol.

In my dress  (Don't have any full length pics yet!)

 Looking creepy in my mask ahah.

Thanks so much for looking, hope you like! xx

Balayage hair + glitzy club makeup!

I'm so sorry guys, I'm apologizing for the lack of posts again! Soo I got my hair done a couple of weeks back.. mainly coz my stupid roots were showing through haha.. I swear my hair grows too fast! This time she did more balayage through all of it, instead of just a few front sections like before. The only thing I will change next time is to probably just do the base colour through the top sections only to break up the lighter ends. It looks good curled, but there's kinda like a line between the colour when it's straight.
Aandd- I hate bleach, my ends feel yucky now & they tangle so easily! My hair is so much more static when I brush it too lol :(

Apologizing for the phone pics! 

Lipstick is vivaglam nicki in case you're wondering.

This is the making I wore for clubbing in the city. Mostly phone pics again sorry!

That's better, camera pix :)

Face: Australis Paparazzi Perfect fdtn
MAC dollymix blush
All About Glo Bronzer

Eyes:
Nyx JEP in Black Bean, drawn into crease using small brush, winging out slightly, also on lower lashline.
Noir- Sleek Bad Girl, blended over line, using underground & gunmetal to blend out black. Cut back into the crease with Noir & a sharp-lined brush. Use these on the lower lash line too. I think I also used Urban Decay Tease to blend.
Stila Kitten on the lid
Pixie Epoxy over Kitten, and then the MK&A glitter from my recent haul over the top. I wish I had MAC reflex gold [I think] to compare it too.
Urban Decay Bootycall to highlight
Maybelline Line Allure for the eyeliner.
BYS gel eyeliner.
BYS eyelashes in Starlette

 Lips: Inglot #253. I applied it horribly in the car, sorry!

Thoughts on the eyelashes:
These are the ones I also bought in my haul. I really like the whispy-ness & the diamontes on them for added bling, but they were still hard to work with. The band wasn't as flimsy as one I've tried before, but as the glue was drying I couldn't roll it into shape because it went almost straight when I put them on. Also I don't like how you can see the lash band, but it's only noticeable up close.

So, I really should give cut creases a break for a while, but since I've found out that I can actually do them it's a lot of fun to do for a night out!!
I hope you enjoyed this post.

Taking your makeup from day to night.

I understand that this day makeup may be too much for some, but in this post I am going to show you how I take my makeup from day to night. There's not a huge difference, but there's a few main factors that can change your makeup from 'work' to 'night-on-the-town'. Depending on how much makeup you like to wear, of course. I don't always have natural makeup for the day though :D

In this first pic I understand that it just looks like different lighting (which it is, day time [left] is natural, while night [right] is artificial light). You will probably see in the full face pic the differences. The main things I like to do to change it up is 1: add more depth with darker colours, & 2: adding more eyeliner/ mascara or falsies. I only used individual lashes here so it's not a huge difference.
And of course, if you wear a tinted moisturizer or a light foundation during the day, you can add a heavier foundation for night time, especially if you are going to be taking pictures and you want your skin to look flawless. (This is the main reason why I love my Australis Paparazzi Foundation - I should do a review for any aussies out there if your keen). More blush & contouring/ highlighting is another big thing. Of course if you want to keep the eyes easy, a bold lip is great for night as well.

Day: I used the Urban Decay naked 1 palette. It was very loosely based off this look by Samantha Schuerman that I did by memory, lol. Except mines not as 'clean' :(. I had quite a bit of blush on but a fairly light base (my everyday base) & nude lips which are Makeup Geek lipstick in Shy. You can just wear bronzer during the day if that is what you prefer.

Night:

 Silly face! :P Haven't posted one of these in a while... hehe

Face:

Milani Baked Blush in Fantastico Mauve

Eyes:
Urban Decay Naked palette:
Sin (Lid), Creep (crease, lower lash line), Gunmetal (above Creep) Naked to blend out Gunmetal. Virgin as a highlight
MUG Corrupt to darken crease
Maybelline Master Precise eyeliner
Prestige My Brow Duo (illuminate side- in waterline). This is probably more for day time lol, I should have used a black gel liner here instead.
Max Factor False Lash Effect mascara
A couple of individual false lashes

Lips:
Topshop lipstick in Show Off

 I find you do not need to take your makeup off and start from scratch- as long as you used primer during the day you should be fine. This is even the same for my foundation- because I only set it with a tiiiny bit of powder it does not turn cakey (but I use a primer to ensure that it will last)
You can also easily bring a few extra makeup items to work if you don't have time to go home & do your makeup for your night out.

Thank you for looking, I hope you enjoyed this post & it was helpful! xxx

Barbie Girl Makeup!

I wasn't sure what makeup I wanted to do on the weekend for a "Barbie & Ken" themed party, but I remembered an older makeup look where someone said I probably looked like a barbie haha so I pretty much just copied that, so they are very similar. I did like the shape of this one a lot more, though. 
I also did my friends makeup for that night :)

I fixed the lipstick up after these pics lol. Also this is a weird face =S

With & Without Flash

This is my beautiful friend Nicole, she was going as "Ice Barbie" & she usually wears softer makeup so I wanted to do it for her tonight :D

Black could have been blended better, yadda yadda haha

What I used on her:
The Face Shop shade stick (silver)
Sleek Bad Girl: Blade (all over lid) Noir (outer corner) [both also on lower lashline] Innocence (highlight- for some reason it showed up on one eye more than the other)
Nyx Candy Glitter liner in Disco Ball (wahh couldn't get it to show up properly on camera)
BYS Gel Eyeliner (Made it a bit too thick so I went over the top slightly with some of the glitter)
Rhinestones on outer corner of eyes (they kinda look like piercings though haha)

Also how I had my nails

Same method that I did my nails here, except I used a matte top coat by China Glaze over the top of the blue only. I used O.P.I Blue My Mind, and a random silver from Sportsgirl. Excuse the cuticles!
I think the matte has faded now, since I haven't applied it since or the silver will turn funky. (keep in mind it's been a few days, I also couldn't apply a top coat over it all or it would ruin the effect so it's not the longest lasting mani)

Aaand a few other pictures from that night

 Being a creeper heheh

SO & I in the barbie booth!!

Thank you for looking!!
If you were to dress up as a barbie, what would you be?? & how would you do your makeup? :)

Summer Holiday; dramatic colourful cut crease

A couple of weekends ago was my besties 21st birthday party, and the theme was summer/tequila sunrise so of course I had to go bright with the makeup! To make it a bit more dramatic I turned it into a black cut crease and tried to make it a little more creative :) I hope you like!

~Eyes~
-120 palette: Red, Orange & Yellow on the lid.
-Nyx Black Bean drawn into the crease, & blended out with lots of black.
You can't really tell but I blended some blue into the black... I think I blended it away lol.
-Nyx White Pearl to highlight
-BYS gel eyeliner in the waterline
-Maybelline Master Precise eyeliner for the .. eyeliner.. & palm tree (just in case you couldn't tell what it was :)
-Nyx glitter e/l in Disco Ball
-#74 Red Cherry lashes

~Face/ Cheeks~
-Australis Paparazzi Perfect Fdtn
-I'm pretty sure I used MAC peachy keen
-Coastal scents 15 concealer palette (darker shades) to contour, set with Nyx Taupe blush
 -Some bronzer that didn't work out well lol

~Lips~
Nyx l/s in Pumpkin Pie (I think! or maybe it was summer love) & by the looks of it some lip gloss, ha :)

Also with the hair I wanted beach waves so I used a triple barrel curler, it didn't turn out how I wanted though, I think salt spray would have given more of a textured beachy look so I will try that next time.

 
~Nails~

Sorry for the messy edges... I did this not long before the party so I had no time for clean ups lol.. I've also stamped it later so I'll have to post a pic of that sometime :)

 I hope you like it as much as I did! Thanks for looking xx
