EOTD: Colourful look with the Curaçao palette from Sleek Makeup

Hello beauties!

I have another EOTD for you all. For this look, I used the Curaçao eyeshadow palette from Sleek Makeup that came out with the Caribbean collection. You can read my post about this palette and swatches here.
This palette has a lot of fun, bright colours in it which are great for summer. Even though we haven't seen the sun all that much yet here in Belgium, I decided to brighten up my day with these beautiful colours:





Here’s a list of all the products I used and how I used them:

- MAC Siahi Fluidline: as a base all over the lid up to the crease, applied and blended with fingers.

- MAC Blacktrack Fluidline: used to line top and bottom waterline, smudged between the lashes and lined upper lashline with a little wing, with a small liner brush (MAC 209).

- MAC Brun: to fill in my brows with an angled brush (MAC 263).

- MAC Vanilla eyeshadow: as a browbone highlight, applied with a flat shader brush (MAC 239)

- Sleek Green Iguana (from the Curaçao palette) : on the inner corner and the inner half of the lower lashline and over the Siahi fluidline, so on the lid with a flat shader brush (MAC 239) and blended in to the crease (MAC 217).

- Sleek Purple Haze (from the Curaçao palette): applied with a small pencil brush (MAC 219) and blended slightly upwards. Also applied on the outer half of the lower lashline, blended with the Iguana Green

- Sleek Singapore Sling (from the Curaçao palette) : applied right above the Purple haze, blended together and upwards with a pencil brush (MAC 219) 

- Sleek Espresso Martini (from the Curaçao palette): used to darken the outer corner, with e pencil brush (MAC 219).

- Max Factor False Lash Effect mascara: few coats on the top lashes, one coat on bottom lashes.

- False Lashes from Claire's applied with DUO Lash Adhesive.

First post

Hi everyone! Welcome to my blog.

Why not start off with a colourful look.
I did this look a while ago after watching a video of one of my favorite youtube gurus, macNC40. I love her looks and decided to recreate this one. (link to her post on her blog here)

So here's my version:


































Not something I'd wear out, but this is what I like to do in my spare time. I don't remember what colours i used, but most of the came from my 96 palette.

Now, you might wonder what else you're going to find on this blog. Well, the title is pretty self-explanatory. I will use this blog to post all things related to makeup and nails. The randomness stands for pretty much anything i feel like sharing.


I'm not the kind of person that likes to write alot, especially not about myself, but I feel obligated to at least tell you a little something about myself.
So here it goes. My name is Tanja and I'm a 23 year old student. I live in Belgium and as you probably could have guessed, I'm addicted to makeup and nail polish.

That's all for now. Excuse the boring layout. I'm new to blogging, so bare with me until I learn how to make these posts a little more attractive.
