Hello my lovelies, I hope everyone is well, and Happy Valentine's Day! I hope everyone is having a lovely day or has had a lovely day. I've had a really nice couple of days, yesterday I had a day for myself in town just spending some quality time for me like I do every week. Today, besides all of the rehearsals for tomorrow, my bae, Jess and I went to Subway as you purchase a large drink and got any sub for free. It was definitely worth it.
So anyway, today I present to you this look...
This is full on smokey glam; definitely more of an evening Valentine's look, but can easily be worn in the day as that's how I wore it. I love a good pink and brown smokey eye. So if you guys want to know how to achieve this for your Valentine's Day plans, please keep on reading.
Firstly taking a Maybelline Colour Tattoo in the shade Pink Gold as a base all over my lids and just applying that with my finger.
Taking this warm pink toned brown from the Audacious 3 pallet from Freedom makeup on my Naked 3 brush - the fluffy side. And just blending that all throughout my crease and outer corners of my eyes. It does not have to be neat at this point.
Dipping into the Urban Decay Naked 3 pallet and taking the shade Buzz on the other end of that brush used previously; using the flat end and applying that up to the middle of my lids.
Continuing with the Naked 3 and taking the shade Factory on my Makeup Revolution E103 brush and blending that in from the outer V into that shade Buzz sitting on the middle of my lid (which you can see in the image on the left) as well as just above where the shades meet to get a flawless ombre of colour.
I decided that this shade on it's own was not matte enough for what I was going for. So I took a bit of the shade Nooner on my Real Techniques Deluxe Crease brush and blended over the top of Factory and this created a much more of a brown matte finish which was what I wanted. I really loved the use of both of these shades together for the finish it created.
Then I just took a makeup wipe and sharpened up the edges of my eyes.
I decided that Buzz on it's lonesome was a bit too dark for the overall look, so I went in with a mix of Buzz and another shade from the same pallet called Dust. Applying that mix from my inner corners to the middle of my lid similar to before. I just used my fingers to apply that blend onto my eyelids.
I then went back in with Nooner on the same brush as before just to re-blend it all together a little bit again.
Then I just applied my everyday makeup that I always wear.
- Maybelline Better Skin in 05 Light Beige
- Then taking my go to concealer as always, the Lasting Perfection concealer in Fair from Collection under my eyes drawn in a triangle and taken down my cheeks, along my nose, on my forehead, around the sides of my nose, on my cupids bow, around my lips, and on my chin. Then of course on any blemish areas that I want to cover. Using my beauty blender from Real Techniques for both my base and my concealer.
- Then using another holy grail of mine, the Rimmel London Stay Matte powder in Translucent. Powdering all over my face with my Makeup Revolution F104 powder.
- Then I am taking my Ben Nye Banana Powder and baking under my eyes, down my nose, in the middle of my forehead, on my cupids bow, and on my chin using a makeup puff. Baking every where I am going to put highlighter just to really lighten up those areas.
- Then moving onto my eyebrows, I'm taking my classic Maybelline Satin Brow and just filling in my eyebrows in their natural shape with the arch over drawn slightly. Then applying Brow Drama brow gel also in Dark Brown to just set them in place.
- Then shaping my face with Makeup Revolution's Ultra Sculpt and Contour Kit in the shade Fair C01. Just taking the contour to sculpt out my cheek bones on an angled brush and buffing it out in circular motions and contouring my nose using my Urban Decay fluffy brush from their Smoky pallet.
- Baked both my face contour and my nose contour with Ben Nye's Banana Powder.
- Taking Makeup Revolution's F103 stippling brush to apply my blush, Bourjois Extrait 03 a glittery pink shade on the apples of my cheeks.
- Finally taking Makeup Revolution's F105 angled brush to apply my highlighter, MUA's Pink Shimmer. Placing it on the high points of my cheeks, my forehead, down the bridge and on the tip of my nose, on my cupids bow, and on my chin.
Once the rest of my face was applied, I took Dust and Buzz on my fingers once again and blended it up to the middle of my lower lashline. Taking a mix of Factory and Nooner on Makeup Revolution's E101 flat shader brush and smoking that out on the outer area of my lower lashline and then connecting it up to the outer V line.
I also applied my current favourite inner corner highlighter, which is a matte creamy white shade from the Active Cosmetic interchangeable pallet. I just applied that with my finger.
Taking my current mascara, the Maybelline Colossal Spider Effect mascara on my top and bottom lashes.
(Sidenote: I'm not being big headed here, but I feel like my skin looks really flawless and glowy in my mirror light)
I decided I wanted to go for a rosy kind of ombre lip. So I took my Active Cosmetics rosy pinky red lip liner and lined out my lips.
Then, taking my pink nude lipstick from the same brand, I applied that all over my lips.
And that is this look complete!
I hope you guys enjoyed this Valentine's Day/Evening makeup look. I really enjoyed creating it, I actually love this smokey eye look. Especially with that lip colour.
Thanks for reading guys and I will talk to you soon.
Love,
Katie
