MUA Glitter Eyeliner ~ an everyday eye with a pop of color!

I got a bunch of stuff from MUA in the post today, which I'm super excited about! I can't wait to try it all. Unfortunately, my face doesn't really want to work with me right now... it's kinda covered in eczema. But, I couldn't resist doing my eye makeup anyway ;)

The glitter liners cost £0.50 each, so I didn't exactly have the highest of expectations for them. However, I think they're decent. Well, considering how cheap they were. This pink one isn't really liquid-y at all... it's more like a semi-thick gel that I had to pat on, dot by dot, using the tip of an eyeliner brush. And that's hard work compared to just using the brush to draw a line. I do like the color payoff though! Being glitter, of course it's gonna look better in real life than in photos, but it really is pretty. And for 50p I really can't complain!

Angel kisses

Here are some pictures of the eye makeup I wore when I went shopping with my mom last Saturday. I absolutely love this eyeshadow combo!

This time I used MOI Cosmetics' Angel Kisses over Fyrinnae's Pixie Epoxy on my lids. I have no idea why, but I find the sparkle in Angel Kisses really hard to capture in photos. It really is very, very sparkly. You can kind of see it in the third picture, the blurry one, but it's so much more intense in real life. I wish you all had it and could look at it right now... I'm loving this shadow ♥

The crease color is Sugarpill's Mochi, blended out using Sugarpill's Tako. I also used a tiny bit of a black eyeshadow from one of my Sleek palettes to darken the crease. The liner I used is MAC's Fluidline in Blacktrack, and the mascara is Max Factor's 2000 Calorie (the waterproof version).

Step-by-step: Chrome

I posted this picture the other day:

Today I thought I'd show you how I did the eye makeup, step by step :)

Clean eyelid

I applied a silver colored primer to the lid area...

...and a blue primer above the crease.

To cut my crease, I drew a sharp line with a deep blue shadow slightly above my natural crease.

I applied some more of the blue eyeshadow towards the outer corner of my eye.

Using a small eyeshadow brush with a little bit of that same blue eyeshadow,

I started blending out the upper part of the crease color.

I applied a silver eyeshadow to my lid.

(And made sure to keep the line between the lid and crease looking sharp.)

I applied a mint eyeshadow to the inner corner of my eye and to the lower lash line.

I wanted a more cat eye like shape. So, I applied some moisturizer to a cotton round, folded it, and used it to remove some of the eyeshadow at the outer corner of my eye.

I used a white eyeshadow to further blend out the upper part of the crease color and, at the same time, highligt my brow bone.

I applied some black liner to the outer half of my lash line.

I applied some white eyeliner to my waterline. And, last but not least, I curled my lashes and applied two coats of black mascara to my upper lash line (only one coat on the lower lash line).

False lashes would look great, but I didn't feel like applying them this time ;)

FOTD - October 2nd

If you watch my videos and/or follow me on twitter, you probably know that my sleeping pattern is pretty messed up. I'm usually awake all night and asleep most of the day, which is fine during the summer, but when the fall comes and lectures start again... let's just say it's not ideal ;)

So, in a desperate attempt to fix my sleeping pattern, I have now stayed awake for almost 24 hours straight, and in order to keep myself from falling asleep I decided to play around with some of my new makeup, write a couple of blog entries and film a favorites video (which I'm going to edit in a minute).

Do you like my makeup today?

FOTD - MAC Crush Metal Pigments

I went for a very pink look today, as you can see ;)

I wanted to try my new LASplash Eye Shadow Sealer/Base, which I have seen girls on youtube use as a base for glitter, so I thought I would use it as a base for my MAC Crush Metal Pigments. Those pigments are quite chunky, so you need a tacky base if you want them to stay put. And this base by LASplash worked brilliantly! It not only made them stay on longer - it made them a lot easier to apply too. I can't wait to try it with other shadows and pigments!
