Makeup for 2day...
Today i wanted to show a really simply eye makeup look that i used and it only takes 2 mins. For my self i prefer neutral colours for my eyes because i love to create smokey looks. However today i was wearing a black and purple combination outfit so instead of doing the typical dark smokey eye i decided to play up on the purple side of my outfit. Do not be alarmed i did this tastefully and it is a look that is really easy to wear during the day and i tested it out 2day myself. I have an urban decay pallete called VOL II which has such beautiful neutral colours as well as some funky bright colours, so i really want to start using them but in more wearable ways because i really like the idea of bright colours. So first what i did was basically use the urban decay primer potion all over my lid. This is the best eye primer i have never tried any other eye primers because i was hooked the first time i got it. I was at a family wedding and i wanted my eye makeup to stay the whole day and i used this primer and my smokey eye lasted the whole day and night and didn't need any touching up, i was super impressed with this primer and will never stop using it. So anyway once i had done that i used benefit high beam just under my brow bone because i really love the highlight that it gives me its just a really natural glow and i love using it also. So i wanted to play up on the purple of my outfit but i didnt want to do a big complicated smokey eye that would look way too much in purple, so basically i used the colour ECSTASY in my urban decay palete VOL II. (pictured below.)
This is a more of a matte colour however it has a nice shimmer to it which makes it more wearable for during the day and makes it less harsh. i put this colour all over my lid and because it came out really pigminted which is typical of urban decay eyeshadows i then went over this colour with a blending brush which really lifted up all of the excess pigments of the shadow and really dyed down the colour pigmentation of the colour. I then lined my eyes with Avons Glimmerstick eye liner in blackest black, this just helped add a bit of definition to my eyes, and finally i curled my lashes and used Estee Lauder Magnascopic mascara in black. Below are pictures of the finished look, sorry that they dont show all the detail and colour of the eyeshadows but it really just gives you an idea of the look i was going for.
Thanks for reading i hope you liked my simple wearable colourful eye makeup
