Dress sorted, Make-Up Look? Part 2.

Hello all! :)Hope you're all well.
Right, who remembers the post "Dress sorted, Make-up Look?"
For those who haven't seen it Here's the link!


Unfortunately, the birthday girl was a little poorly over the weekend *Lots of love to you missy*
So we didn't go out in the end. However, I am going to show you what I would have done Make-up wise if i had gone out. 
* Remember, I'm not a beauty blogger, this won't be a perfect make-up tutorial hehe*


 For this look, I used;

  1. Urban Decay VOL II Palette
  2. Accessorize Eyeshadow Palette
  3. MAC 'Up the Amp' Lipstick
  4. Nars 'Orgasm' Blush
  5. Urban Decay Primer Potion
  6. MAC Face & Body Foundation (C5)
  7. Bobbi Brown 'Black Ink' Gel Liner
  8. Benefit 'IT' Stick
  9. Vaseline :)
So I started off with a moisturized face. Using 'Astral' (I mentioned this amazing cream in Part 1). I then went over it with MAC Face & Body Foundation. Look at the amount I used. So worth every penny!
I used the Benefit IT stick to cover up any blemishes etc.

This is all i needed for the full face (inc neck!)


Ready for eyeshadow, blush & lipstick

*Before applying the rest of the make-up. I put a little bit of Vaseline on my lips. I'll explain why later*

I used a little Urban Decay Primer Potion first (Its amazing! as a lot of you already know! Makes the make up last ages without any annoying creases.) 
For the look I wanted, I started off using a lovely Silverish/Grey shade from the Accesorize palette.
Light Silver/Grey shade.


 I put this on the eye first. I only needed a light layer. 
After applying a layer of this shade, I then went onto the Urban Decay VOL II Palette. I love this palette, I bought it for about £25 (Staff Discount ;) It has lasted ages. Again, definitely worth every penny!



I used 'Gunmetal' which is a lovely Charcoal Grey shade.
I used the MAC 217 Blending Brush to blend The 'Gunmetal' eyeshadow into the Light Silver/Grey. You will eventually end up with this


Both colours, Blended well.

To finish the eyes off, just go over it with a Black Gel/Liquid Liner. I'm a big fan of Bobbi Brown 'Black Ink' Gel liner.

On to the lips, earlier I mentioned putting Vaseline on my lips before I even started on my eyes. The reason I did this is so that the lips are soft, ready for the lipstick. If you were to put Vaseline on just before the Lipstick, The lipstick wouldn't have the same effect. It would look too shiny & oily.
You'll find that by the time you've done your eye make-up. Your lips will have the tiniest amount of Vaseline on them, and be as soft as anything. Ready for the gorgeous Lipstick :)

I used this lovely colour by MAC 'Up the Amp' Its a mix of Hot Pink and a hint of Purple. Stunning!




I put the tiniest amount on and thought it looked amazing! I love this shade. 

Straightened the hair as it has grown loads :)

*FIRST Beauty Post* Purple Smokey Eye

Hello there you gorgeous people!
I have LOVED reading your blogs and My Wish List has quadrupled hehe I want soo many products after reading all of your blog posts.
As a lot of my close & personal Twitter followers, Friends & Family know, PURPLE is my absolute favorite colour. 


This is my first beauty post. I am a newbie so it isn't perfect but I hope in time they will get so much better :)


  1. MAC Face & Body Foundation (C5)
  2. Benefit IT Stick Concealer
  3. AVON Luxe Lace True colour Eyeshadow Quad
  4. Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner (Black Ink)
  5. MAC Paints (Stilife)
  6. Nars, Orgasm Blush

, I started off with a moisturized face, I love using Astral, i've used it since i was a kid and *touch wood* I've always had flawless skin. 

Next step,  blend the Face & Body foundation in really well. What I LOVE about this foundation is that it is so light, you only need a little pea sized amount for the full face. 
It gives such a natural, flawless finish.
Face & Body Foundation, Great for light coverage

After blending this in well, I put the Benefit IT Stick on the 'dark circle' area to minimise the darkness and conceal blemishes.

Ready for the eye make-up..
I normally use Urban Decay primer potion as the base, but in this case I used the MAC paint in 'Stilife' as it's a creamy pink shade. Perfect base colour for the Purple smokey eye.


The eye with MAC Paint primer
The Avon palette is gorgeous, It has 4 lovely colours. (I will only be using the first 3)
 I bought it when it first came out at the amazing price of £4. It is now £8.50, but so worth it! 
A gorgeous sparkly white shade, two purple shades & a charcoal grey.
I started off with the white eyeshadow, you only need to use a little bit as the light purple is the main focus.
 I went over the white with the purple, making sure I left the white eyeshadow visible in the inner corner of the eye. 

The white & light purple blended in well.


Once both colours are on, use a good blending brush to add the darker purple.
 I use the MAC 217 brush, which is amazing! 
When doing this, I always start in the middle of the eye lid and work outwards, blending really well. 

*It is important that you blend it well and outwards so that the smokey eye isn't too strong. You don't want it to look too harsh.*
This is what you should end up with.

If you want a darker smokey eye, then by all means use the Charcoal Grey shade. In this case the dark purple  was enough to give the effect I wanted.

Finish it off with a top eyeliner ( I used Bobbi Brown Gel Liner) and work it into the bottom.

This is the finished version. 
I love finishing this look off with a gorgeous pink/coral blush. Nars 'Orgasm' blush is perfect! x x










I hope you like this post! eeek.
