Smokey eye tutorial

Hello lovelies :)

How are you today? I hope your doing well. 

Did you ever wanted that smokey eye look that pops your colour eyes out? Did you ever created a smokey eyes to go for a party or to a wedding? 

So I am giving you two different smokey eye look. 

On the left it is an almond smokey eyes and on the right I created a wing smokey eye. 
Which one do you prefer? 

On the right side is the wing smokey eye. 
  • To create this smokey eye you have to prime your eyes I used the Elf Mineral Eyeshadow Primer .
  • Then apply a soft matte cream colour that matches her skin all over the eyes as a base from the Sleek Palette Storm. 
  • Then I apply a black pencil, I used the NYX Jumbo Eye pencil (JEP601 Black Bean) in the outer corner as a base. Does not matter if it is a little bit messy. 
  • Than I applied matte black eyeshadow from Storm Palette over the black pencil and begin to create the wing eyeshadow.
  • When I was satisfied with the black I applied gold eyeshadow in the inner till the middle of the eye and I blend the gold with the black in the middle. 
  • I applied shimmery white in the brow bone to lift the brow bone up as there was a lot of black going on.
  • I applied some black under the eyes and also gold from the inner eye till the middle. 
  • Than I applied mascara and black eyeliner in the waterline and applied brown eyeshadow in the eyebrows and set it with Elf Studio Make up mist and Set on the eyebrow brush to set the colour. 

This is the almond smokey eyeshadow look
This side is also a smokey eye but not that dramatic as the other side. 
  • First I applied the primer from Elf as mantioned above and also the cream eyeshadow all over the eyelid.
  • With the matte black eyeshadow from the Storm Palette I created a C shape at the outer corner of the eye 
  • From the inner eye till the middle I applied a silver shimmery eyeshadow and blended with the matte black eyeshadow. 
  • On the browbone I applied a soft matte brownish cream eyeshadow so that to continue with the softness of the smokey eyes. 
  • Than I applied mascara (L'Oreal Paris Double Extension Waterproof in Shade Noir/ Black) and black eyeliner from wjcon in the waterline and applied brown eyeshadow in the eyebrows and set it with Elf Studio Make up mist and Set on the eyebrow brush to set the colour.

Morning Occasion Make up look

Hello Lovelies 

How are you all? 
This week it was really hard for me to pass through because my chinchilla (Name Perrinu had died and I miss him so much). I am doing my best to cope with it but life have to move on. 

As I promised you all I am showing you what I am doing at the make up course and tell you how to do it. 
This is a Monochromatic eyeshadow almond shape. Monochromatic effect means that with one colour you create from light to dark effect. Now an almond is like a "perfect" shade that one can have to apply eye make up. 


This is a Monochromatic eyeshadow eye look and the final make up look that I created on my model Yana. 
So lets begin:

So first I started with the eye look. First I applied the primer than I used a cream loose eyeshadow powder all over the eye. They I created a C shape starting from the half of the eye in the crease down to the half of the eye on the lash line with a matte brown eyeshadow. Than you blended as much as you can, if the brown fades you can go back and create the C shape again and blended. Then I removed fall outs from the eyeshadow by sweeping it with a clear brush. Than I applied the concealer and the foundations and the corrector and I matte everything with a loose powder. Than I went back again to the eyes so that I will be able to apply the same brown under the lower lash line and also I used a black eyeshadow to use it as a eyeliner on the top lash line so that to be a soft look. I used a black eyeliner in the water line and applied a waterproof mascara. You have to remember that for morning looks you should not use a black eyeliners and mascaras you should use a brown eyeliners and mascara but everyone have their preferred eyeliners. Then I applied bronzer on her jaw line and under her cheekbones and near her hair line. I applied a pink soft blush and I highlighted the cheek bone. On her lips I went for a soft nude colour so that the emphasis will be on her eyes. Then I filled her eyebrows with the same matte brown eyeshadow.

Summer Colourful Look

Hello Lovelies :) 

How are you? So to update you a little bit I had finished my 2 year Higher National Diploma in Health and Social Care Management and I am going to graduate as a Distinction student finally :) Next year I will be doing a one year full time Degree In Health and Social Care.

Also as you all know who follow me, I am doing a make up course so that I will be more professional in what I love and be able to give you the exact information to you all.  

So lets go to this look that I created to go to the Isle of MTV by the way I really enjoyed the performance of Jessie J and also of Rita Ora. They were amazing. 

This is the over all look that I created :) 

This is the eye look that I created. In this post I am going to show you the eye shadows that I used so that you be able to find similar eye shadows to create this Summer look. 
I used the blue that is in the middle of this picture. I use this blue in the corner of my eye. This is a light blue. 

I used this golden brown eye shadow in the middle of my eyes and I blended in the light blue.
I used this green in the outer corner of my eyes and blended in the gold brown eyeshadow. 
This light peach brown I put it in the crease so that to bland the harsh lines of the 3 colours. 
Under my eyes I created blue pencil and also I used it in my waterline. I smudged the blue eyeliner to connect with the light blue that was in the inner corner of my eyes. 

I used a soft ping blush on my cheeks and also used bronzer in my cheek bone. 
Sorry for the lighting but the sun was reflecting the colour of the outside wall opposite my bathroom window and so I became orange. I was wearing a long maxi dress from Peacocks all blue so I combined the eye look with this colour.

 I hope that you enjoyed the posts of the Malta Fashion Week and Fashion Awards, if not Click here

This is the look that I wore when I went to see the Charles and Ron Collection Here
I created this look when I saw few make up looks on you tube and so I get a few ideas from them and I came up with this look. I hope that you all like it. 

This is the overall look. Although I have the lighting really bad, you can see that the brown eyes really popped in this look. I am going to go closer into the eye look so that you can see what type of colours I used. 
I used NYX jumbo Milk as a base, I used yellow gold on the eye lid, in the crease I went  with shimmery violet  and in the outer corner I went with deep violet. I used a black liquid eyeliner and made a small eye cat wing. 

I used a blue pencil eye liner in my waterline and also  under my lower lash line  in the middle. 
I used also a little purple eye shadow under my lower lash line at the outer corner. 
This is the overall look. I went with a lace dress by Dorothy Perkins.

A Complete Look for a Morning Wedding

Hello everyone :)

How are you sweeties? So yesterday I had a morning wedding and I made my own hair and make up so this post I am going to explain what I used and for clothes from where I bought them. 

This is the overall look. So I had a laced dress that is a navy blue with a black lace over all , than I matched the camel shoes with a camel waist coat and a black clutch bag.
Than I went for this flow curly hair on one side and matte elegant make up. 
So lets begin with the eye look 

So I went with neutral look. I used a matte beige on my eyelid, then I used a soft brown on the crease, then I used a dark brown on the outer corner of my eye, I used a matte white mixed with soft brown under my brow bone, to blend the dark brown, I used a peachy matte eye shadow over my crease. I used a liquid eyeliner in black. 

I used the dark brown under my eyes but I didn't went all through near  my inner corner, I stopped 3/4 of my eye. I used a black eye pencil in my water line and also I used the eye pencil at the outer corner of my eye, just a little bit. I made my brows with soft brown eye shadow and I set it with setting spray. 

Sorry I forgot to take the photo of my lips but I used a soft pink lipstick. 

Now we go through the hair

So I just used my clipper, I first straighten all my hair and then I begin to wrist the clipper clockwise and go down slowly so that to make the curls. When I finished I put all my hair on one side. 

At the back of my hair I put a black flower, this because I wasn't  going to wear a hat. In  Malta if a wedding is in the morning you have to wear a hat or make some sort of accessory in your hair. 
This is the list of products I used:

I loved her post and today I went to a big store in Malta called JB stores and I found a great storage for my make up. 

This is a 6 plastic drawers. 
I am going to show you one by one from top to bottom what I put in. Still Some products aren't going to show because they are under some things. 

In the first drawer I have some things that I don't use on the back and  on the font I have my make up wipes from Fresh and Clean.
This section is for foundations that I use and that I want to use in the future, brushes, sponges, concealers and powders. 
This section id for eye shadow palettes and loose eye shadows. Underneath the ELF 100pc I have 3 ELF eye shadow books and also 2 Sleek  palettes. I have NYX jumbo sticks and brushes to apply eye shadows. 
In this section I have bronzers, blushes and brushes that I use for bronzers and blushes. 

In this section I have mascaras, liquid eyeliners,  pencil eyeliners,eyelash glue,  pair of eyelashes, overall setting spray and  tools
This section and the last section is lipsticks, lip gloss, lip balms, lip pencils and lip brush
On the top of the box I put my make up bag that is empty, my  mums makeup bag  and few bottles to wash my brushes. 

I put them in this order so that from top I do my whole face and step by step I finish it with a lipstick or a lip gloss. 

The box cost 26.95 euros. 

I hope you like it. Please if you have any questions don't hazitate to ask me. I will be pleased if you leave a comment below and enjoy.
