Hello Lovelies. Welcome back to Beautiful You!
Today's guest post is written by a fellow beauty blogger called Lucy, I shall link her twitter here if you would like to follow her! Over to Lucy...
Hey everyone! Its Lucy here from lucyyjayne and today as part of Megan’s week celebration of
her 6 months blogging (here's to many more!) I'm going to be showing you one of
my favourite looks for an evening out in Spring. As you've probably guessed by
the title it’s a Pink Smoky Eye look. Before we start can I just say I do not
call myself a make-up artist and I don’t think I should be a make-up artist
this is just how I like to do this look and I think it looks pretty. Enjoy!
So I start off the look by using my Fix
& Perfect PRO Primer to
even out my skin and make my make-up last even longer. Next I take my Phwoarr
Paint, which is
a heavy under eye concealer from Seventeen, and blend it in with the Deluxe
Crease Brush from Real
Techniques. I don't
blend it in fully because I feel you start to lose the effect of its full
coverage, which is why I apply it before my foundation. I then take my Bourjois
Healthy Mix foundation
and apply it all over my face with the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush. Next I use my Collection Lasting
Perfection concealer
and apply that to any spots, redness or discolouration I have on my skin and
take my Deluxe Crease Brush again to blend that in. Then I take my Stay
Don't Stray Eye-shadow Primer from Benefit and apply it all over my lid and blend it in with my finger.
Now on to eyes, I started by applying my Maybelline
Colour Tattoo in Pink
Gold all over
my lid but leaving the inner corner blank. Then using my Real
Techniques Base Shadow Brush I take the first colour in the inner corner to give a subtle highlight.
Then using the same brush I take the second colour all over my lid to make the
pink tone brighter. Next I take the third colour on a Blending
Brush from H&M
in the outer corner and
through the crease to add depth. Next, using the same colour, I take the Brow
Brush from Real
Techniques along my
lower lash line to add to that smoky effect. Then, to keep the pink tone
running through the look, I take the fourth colour on a Shading
Brush from Models
Own and
lightly tap that over the brown.
Next I used the Cosmopolitan Eyelash
Curlers because I
have annoyingly straight lashes. Then, before applying the
Falsies Mascara, I
used the Collection Extreme 24 Hour Liner to line my upper lash line. Finally I took the Rimmel
Scandal Eyes eye-liner
in Black on my tight line to make my lashes look fuller and making the look
more dramatic.
To fill in my eyebrows I used the MUA
Pro Brow Kit and an Angled Brush from Models Own, but first I brushed them through with the brush that comes with the Rimmel
London Brow Pencil. I
used the light brown shade in the palette because I didn't want my brows to be
too strong.
Next I took a Models Own Powder Brush and applied a quick dusting of Rimmel
London's much loved
Stay Matte Powder.
Then using the same brush and the Bourjois Chocolate Bronzer I gave a subtle warmth to my skin tone in the
hollows of my cheeks and on the temples of my forehead. Then using the same
brush again I took a tiny amount of blush from Natural
Collection called Pink
Cloud as it is a
lovely pink colour perfect for spring.
To complete the face I
used Benefit's High Beam Highlighter on the tops of my cheek bones to add a beautiful glow to my cheeks.
Finally on to lips, I wanted quite a subtle lip because the main part of this
look is the eyes. So after I applied Carmex Lip Balm to moisturise my lips I took Rimmel
London's Kate Moss Lipstick in 03, which is a lovely nude shade. Though to keep with
the pink trend I added a No7 Lip Gloss over the top in Allure to complete the make-up look.
And this is how the look turned out...
OK, I hope you enjoyed this post and like the look!
