So, it's my birthday today! HURRAY!
Since it's my big day, I'm going out and so I've put together an outfit and a hair and makeup look to match.
I'm so so so excited to show you guys what I've done and how I did it.
Firstly, here's the makeup look:
I've gone for a black and silver classic smokey eye.
I achieved this look by firstly using the Makeover Essentials compact palette:
I used the light bronze shade to start with and I just applied it all over my lid to get an even base tone.
Next, I used the darker brown tone as my transition colour, I used this on the outer corner of my eye and blended inwards.
After that I went to the Sleek i-Divine palette and used the darkest charcoal colour to make my smokey eye much darker.
BLEND BLEND BLEND! It's really obviously if you haven't blended properly and especially with darker colours, it can look messy.
To blend, I love to use the Real Techniques eye brushes as they are super duper soft and make blending so easy!
Next I'm applying a tiny amount of the dark bronze colour from the Wet n Wild palette to add a little bit of warmth to this look as there are a lot of silver and black tones.
After it's blended, I'm applying No.7's palette and I'm using the lightest shade to highlight the corners of my eyes and just underneath my brow.
For my face, I've used the Benefit Hervana blush on top of the Stila foundation.
On my lips I have the NYX Lip Cream in Antwerp.
My finished face looks like this: I also added some fake lashes by ELF to make this a really bold look.
