Party Eyes



I've been so busy these last couple of months with makeup bookings that I have hardly had time to put up any new blog posts, so I thought I would show you some of the looks I have been working on. 

Here is the beautiful Danielle who booked me for a makeup application for her 18th birthday party. The look was all about the eyes as she wanted a dramatic smokey look using dark greys and silver, teamed with Ardell Wispies false lashes which can be found in most drugstores and give a great effect.

Getting ready for the Ball - Part.2

Smokey eyes and red lips are the perfect combination for a glamorous and stylish look.

Create a flawless complexion with a perfectly matched foundation keeping the blush soft. Add some drama to the eyes with a range of eye shadow tones from inky-black to soft brown and greys and blend well together. Use black liquid eye liner along the top lashes starting at the inner corner and extending slightly at the edge and a black khol pencil liner along the bottom lashes.
The final touch that makes the look an unmistakable classic is the deep red lip, use a lip brush to help create that perfect pout.

Enchanted

When creating this look I realised that I use purple eye shadow quite alot, but I think there is something quite enchanting about this colour when used in make-up. 

The colour purple seems to of become more popular than any other shade for creating the classic smokey eye, probably because it suits pretty much any eye colour and is great to use as an alternative to brown or black eye shadow. Remember practice makes perfect when creating a smokey eye but with just the right intensity you can have sensuous enchanting eyes in no time!

Purple Smokey Eye

The classic Smokey Eye with a twist! 

Using bold and beautiful colour you can make your eyes look a little more eye catching to match your mood or even your outfit. Here I have used the colour purple teamed up with shades of grey to make my blue eyes pop.

Smokey Eye


The "Smokey Eye" is a classic make-up look, but by playing around with colour you can give it a bit of kick. 

By using different colours with the same technique you can create a more natural or fun look that isn't too dramatic. 

Here I have used a dusky pink colour all over the lid finished with black Kohl pencil and mascara.
