EOTD/swatches: Green and red look with the Sleek PPQ Me, Myself & Eye palette

Hiya!

It's time for another EOTD! This time I used the PPQ, Me, Myself & Eye palette from Sleek (can you tell I love Sleek palettes?)







Swatches of the first row (over MAC Face and Body N2):



Swatches of the second row:




And here's the look I came up with!






Products used:

- MAC Vanilla: applied with a flat shader brush as a brow bone highlight.

- Sleek Supernova: to fill in my brows softly with an angled brush.

- Sleek Golden Silvers: as an inner corner highlight, applied with a pencil brush.

- Sleek Chris The Burgundy: on the lower lash line, slightly winged out, applied with a pencil brush.

- Sleek Blue Monday: applied all over the upper lid with a flat shader brush.

- Sleek Primal Green: used in the crease with a blending brush.

- Sleek Black Box: applied with a pencil brush in the outer corner and smudged along the lash line.

- MAC Blacktrack fluidline: used on the top and bottom water line with an angled brush.

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

- Ardell Demi Wispies: I added lashes with Duo lash adhesive.



I didn't know which colours to use when I started doing this look, but I like how it turned out! I like how the red on the bottom brings out my green eyes. I think this is a really nice way to make red eyeshadow wearable.

I bought this palette from Boozyshop but it's sold out there. It is still available on the Sleek makeup website for £6.49 or €9.

Hope you like it and thank you for stopping by!

EOTD: Fall eye look using the Sleek Original palette!

Hiya!



Today's EOTD was kind of inspired by fall colours and I used the Sleek Original palette to create it.

Here's a picture of the palette. I love these colours!



Since these eyeshadows don't have names, I gave them numbers so it's easier for me to refer to which colour I used.

Here's how I did this look:

- MAC Brun: to fill in my brows, with an angled bush.

- MAC Painterly paintpot: applied on the lid all the way up to the brow with my finger.

- MAC Vanilla eyeshadow: as a brow highlight, applied with a flat shader brush.

- Sleek 7: in the inner corner and inner third of the top and bottom lid, with a pencil brush

- Sleek 12: applied on middle of the upper the lid with a flat shader brush

- Sleek 6: with the same brush on the outer third of the lid.

- Sleek 3: blended in the crease with a small crease brush

- Sleek 9: applied in the middle of the lower lashliner with a pencil brush.

- Sleek 10: with the same brush, applied to the outer third of the lower lashline.

- Sleek 1: smudged in between top and bottom lashes with a pencil brush.

- MAC Blacktrack fluidline: applied on top and bottom waterline with an angled brush.

- Max Factor False Lash Effect: a couple coats on the top lashes, 1 coat on the bottom lashes.

- Lashes from Claire's applied with DUO Lash adhesive.

A couple more pictures:

This look is pretty easy to do. All you have to do is make sure you blend the colours together really well.

Hope you liked this look. Let me know what you think!

EOTD: MAC Club eyeshadow and Blue Brown pigment

Hey hey!!

It's me again with another eye of the day. Today I did a look using one of my favorite MAC eyeshadows: Club. I love this duochrome eyeshadow. Its a dark warm brown colour, with blue-ish green shimmer in it. Gorgeous!! These are the kind of colours that look different depending on how you apply them and once they're on your eye, it seems as though you're wearing multiple eyeshadows. (I get too carried away when I'm doing my makeup so I did use multiple colours :) )

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

- MAC Blackground paintpot: as a base all over the lid up to the crease, applied with a stiff flat shader brush (MAC 252), blended out with a blending brush (MAC 217). Also applied on the lower lashline with a short shader brush (MAC 214).

- MAC Wedge: used with a blending brush (MAC 217) to blend out the paintpot.


- 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)

- MAC Blacktrack fluidline: lined along the upper lashline, on the top a bottom waterline and smudged between the lashes (to make it super dark, so no skin is visible) with a small liner brush (MAC 209).

- MAC Club: applied with a flat shader brush (MAC 239) all over the lid and on the lower lashline

- MAC Blue Brown pigment: this is like a more shimmery/metallic version of Club. I applied this right in the middle of the lid and lower lashline with a flat shader brush (MAC 239). This just adds a little more shimmer and is very subtle. 

- Sleek Green Iguana (from the Curaçao palette (click)): used a little bit of this colour on the bottom part of the inner corner for a pop of teal, using a pencil brush (MAC 219).

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

A couple more pictures from different angles cause I love this eyeshadow so much :).

Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!

EOTD: MAC's Bows & Curtseys: green smokey eye

Hello!!

Today I did  a look using Bows & Curtseys eyeshadow from MAC which came out with the Fashion Flower collection not too long ago. It's a blackened green with shimmer, perfect for a smokey eye, so that's what I did! 

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

- Urban Decay Primer Potion: all over the lid up to the brow, blended out with my finger.

- 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)

- MAC Ricepaper: inner corner highlight, applied with a pencil brush (MAC 219)

- MAC Wedge: applied with a blending brush (MAC 217) right above the crease, as a transition colour between the dark green and the brow highlight.

- MAC Fresh Approach (LE: Makeup Art Cosmetics collection: Photo Realism quad): on the lid and lower lashline, applied with a flat shader brush (MAC 239).

- MAC Bows & Curtseys (LE: Fashion Flower collection): applied in the crease and outer corner with a blending brush (MAC 217) and on the lower lashline with a short bristle shader brush (MAC 214).

- MAC Blacktrack fluidline: lined along the upper lashline, on the lower waterline and smudged between the lashes with a small liner brush (MAC 209).

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

- False Eyelashes from H&M (no name or number) with Duo lash glue.




For a softer, less dramatic look, just skip the liner and lashes.
