MAKE-UP LOOK #2: Cat Eye

Last week was one of my besties 21st's, so we went on a night out in Liverpool! Here are some photos of my make-up from the night (posey photo alert!) and the eye make-up I used to achieve a cat eye look.

Eye products used:
MAC eyeshadow in Ricepaper: used all over the lid, and up to the brow bone
MAC eyeshadow in Handwriten: swept through the crease and brought up to a wing in the outer corners
No7 Amazing eyes pencil eyeliner in 05 Black: used to line the eye and smudged with the sponge end
Lancome Ink Artliner in 01 Black Carbon: applied with an angled brush from the inner to outer corners of the eye, slightly winged up towards the temples, and on the water line.
YSL Volume Effect Faux Cils Shocking mascara and MAC eyelashes.

Other products used:
MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation in NC25
NARS laguna bronzer
MAC satin lipstick in Myth

MAKE-UP LOOK #1: Valentines Day

As I'm definitely not brave enough to do a make-up tutorial via video or youtube this is my 'sort-of' tutorial for Valentines Day makeup. Rather than a step-by-step tutorial (trust me, none of you want to see me make-up-less) it's more of a 'these are the products I used for this look' post. So I hope it's helpful to you and please leave comments in the comment box! XO

For a Valentines Day look I decided to do a light smokey-eye with a pink shimmer in the crease, fluffy big eyelashes, and shimmery blush/highlighter on the cheeks. The full set of products I used are in the photograph above (apart from my brow pencil which I forgot to include!)

List of complete products used:

YSL Top Secrets Flash Radiance Balm - used as a primer

Mac Studio Fix Fluid Foundation in NC25, applied with a ELF stippling brush

Bobbi Brown Concealer in Warm Beige

YSL Touche Eclat - used as a highlighter on the brow bone, cheek bones and bridge of the nose

Nars Laguna bronzer - used to contour the cheekbones, temples and jawline

Nars New Order blush - applied to the apples and cheek bones

Bobbi Brown Chocolate Caviar Eyeshadow - used on the lid, and under the eyes

Bobbi Brown Pink Chiffon Shimmer Wash eyeshadow - blended into the crease

Bobbi Brown Gel liner in Caviar Ink 27 - used on the lash line, and water line

MAC False Eyelashes

YSL Volum Effect Faux Cils mascara

MAC Lipglass in Curvaceous

Eyeshadows - from the Bobbi Brown Pretty Palette. From left to right : Ivory, Pink Flannel, Pink Chiffon, Chocolate Caviar


NARS New Order Blush - a highly glittery/shimmer blush with a very light pink/lilac colour, nice as a highlighter as well as a blush.


MAC eyelashes - Not totally sure which number these are (sorry!) But they're black and brown in colour, natural to long length and with a full, fluffy volume.
