Simple Brown/Gold Glamour Eye

This is a really great simple look! I like it because it's not so full on, and I mostly use white eyeshadow to really brighten up my face, I only used to 2 eyeshadows for this look! So it's perfect for someone, who doesn't wanna use 30 products on their face, just to go to work etc. 

Products:

• Dark brown and white eyeshadow (both matte)
• Eye primer
• Face primer
• Foundation and concealer
• Makeup brushes
• Face powder
• Lipstick and lipliner
• Brow pencil
• Black eye pencil

What I used:

• Australis face primer
• Nyx eye primer
• Inglot eyeshadow
• Revlon colourstay foundation in Nude
• Innoxa translucent powder
• Max Factor - Bronzer
• Rimmel lipstick - Nude
• Rimmel lipliner - Nude
• Australis lipgloss - Nude
• Rimmel brow pencil - Dark Brown

1. Cleanse and moisturise your face, make sure you always begin with a clean face. I then apply my eye primer, and then using a medium fluffy brush I apply the white eyeshadow all over my lid and just above the crease. Then using the same brush, I apply the dark brown in the outer corner in a "c" shape, I then continue by blending the eyeshadow.

2. I then use my black eyeliner, and apply a thin line on top eye line, I use a small flat angled brush to blend the black, as I want a smooth smokey effect like in the pictures above. I apply 2 coats of mascara to my top and bottom lash line.

3. I apply my face primer, with my foundation brush all over my face including under my chin and jawline. I then wait for the primer, to set on my face and then I apply my foundation in a downswards motion I wait for the first layer to set and then I apply my second layer. Using a medium flat brush, or your fingers/sponge, apply your concealer to areas most needed such as under your eyes, nose, and t-zone. I apply my face powder with my large brush, to all areas of my face and under chin/jawline.

4. I apply my bronzer with a slanted/angled large brush or a blush brush, whatever you choose or have. I apply my bronzer where the middle of my ear is until my eye begins, and about an inch under where my eye is. 

5. Using your brow pencil, fill in and outline your natural eyebrows, if need be using a eyeshadow of the same colour of your eyebrows and apply with a small angled brush. Using your lip liner in the colour of your choice, outline your entire lips and fill them in, this will give more longevity and staying power, using your lip liner brush apply 3 coats of lipstick, and if need be apply lipgloss over the top or using a large fluffy brush apply translucent powder over your lipstick for staying power. 

I hope you enjoy this look, because I absolutely love it!!

Purple and White Glamour Eye!

• Eye Primer
• Face Primer
• Your foundation, powder and concealer
• Mascara
• Brow pencil
• Your makeup brushes
• Black eye pencil
• Your lipstick and lipliner
• Your blush or bronzer (whatever your prefer)
• Black Gel liner

What I used:

•  Essence eye shadow primer
• Australis face primer
• Revlon colourstay in Nude (Dry/Normal)
• Inglot purple and white eyeshadow
• Rimmel lipliner - Nude
• Rimmel lipstick - Pink Nude
• Revlon eye pencil - Black
• Rimmel brow pencil - Dark Brown
• Innoxa translucent face powder
• Max Factor - Bronzer or Natio mineral blush - Pink
• Maybelline gel liner - Black

Method:

1. Cleanse and moisturise your face, you always wanna start with a clean face! I then apply my eye primer to my whole lid, even my bottom line! You wanna then use a medium fluffy brush and apply the white eyeshadow over your entire eyelid, and just above your crease. I then use the same brush with the purple eyeshadow, and I create "c" shape on my outer corner (please check out the photos!) I make sure I blend this just above my crease to make my eyes stand out!

2. I apply my black gel liner, in a cat eye effect. Make sure when doing gel liner, you start off small with the flicks, as you don't want your gel liner to look thick. I then apply a small amount of black pencil to my bottom rim, and using a small flat brush I gently blend till about the middle of my bottom rim. I then apply my mascara about 2x on my top and bottom lashes.

3. Apply your face primer with your foundation brush, all over your face including neck (well I do), I apply my foundation in a downwards motion, I always apply a layer first and wait for it too set and then I apply my 2nd layer. I then apply my concealer, near my nose, under my eyes and even on my t-zone area. I then apply my face powder with my big powder brush!

4. Using my blush brush, I apply my blush or bronzer from where the middle of your ear is until where your ear begins, about a inch from where it is. Remember to blend your bronzer or your blush, as it doesn't look nice really out there! I then, fill in my brows using my brow pencil, I follow the natural outline and then fill them in with eyeshadow the same colour!

5. Using your lipliner, outline your natural lip line and then fill in your natural lips and then using a lip brush, apply your lipstick with about  2-3 coats, and sometimes if I want to make my lipstick last longer, I will use translucent powder.
