EOTD 04 : Brown Works

This look was done for a photoshoot I had with my friends.

Being in a photoshoot, I did a slightly heavier makeup look, taking into consideration the bright lights, flash and what not.

EOTD 03 : Bright Greens

The above shows my quote of the day. :)

Here's a quick eye look that I put together today. Only three eyeshadow colors for the lid and brows. 

Easy-peasy!

Eyes

NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Rocky Mountain Green

Elianto Vibrant Shadow in Jewellery Green, Young Lemon and Ivory Black

Jewellery Green, Young Lemon, Ivory Black

1) Apply a green base (NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Rocky Mountain Green) all over the lid area, a little passed the crease.

2) Place a bright green (Elianto Young Lemon) on the lid area where the base was applied earlier, leaving the outer corner untouched.

3) Now, use a deeper green (Elianto Jewellery Green) on the outer corner and blend it in with the bright green.

4) Use a black eyeshadow (Elianto Ivory Black) to line the eyes and to lightly fill in the brows.

Photos taken with flash.

Photos taken without flash in normal daylight.

This look is great for hooded lids as well! The color still peeks through!

And here are both eyes, one all made up and the other as bare as it can be. Hahaha!

Till the next post... 

EOTD 02 : Smokey Greens

So, I went to watch Rango tonight with a friend and since the main character in the movie is a lizard/chameleon, I was inspired to do a green eyeshadow look for the night. Teehee. 

As always, here are the products I used :

Face

Cellnique Total Daytime Protection 30

ZA Skin Beauty Face Powder in shade 01

The Body Shop Vitamin E Face Mist

Cheeks

Bobbi Brown's Pot Rouge for Lips and Cheeks in Powder Pink

MAC Sheertone Blush in Instant Chic

Eyebrows

Elianto Eyebrow Definer Pencil in Brown

Revlon Matte Eyeshadow in Rich Sable

Eyes

Stage Prime Time Eye Perfecting Base in 01 Vanilla

NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Rocky Mountain Green

Urban Decay Deluxe Eyeshadow in Graffiti

Kate Gradical Eye Palette in GR1 (the green palette)

MAC Pigment in Melon

Elianto vibrant shadow in Early Dawn

Max Factor 2000 Calorie Dramatic Look mascara (non-waterproof formula)

Lips
Revlon ColorBurst in 070 Soft Nude

Stage Wondergloss Lipgloss in 12 Sophia

Apply an eye primer (Stage Prime Time Eye Base in Vanilla) all over the lids up to the brow bone : for eyeshadow to appear more vibrant and to avoid creasing (especially if you have oily lids).

Apply a green-colored cream eyeshadow (NYX Rocky Mountain Green) on the lids, passing the crease and leaving the inner corner of the eyes open. The cream eyeshadow will act as a sticky base for your powder eyeshadow to adhere to.

Next, pat on a cool green eyeshadow (Urban Decay Graffiti) all over the area where the cream eyeshadow was placed.

Blend out the cool green eyeshadow after patting it on.

Using a dark green eyeshadow (KATE Gradical Eyes green palette - the darkest green), place it on the outer crease of the eye and blend it together with the cool green eyeshadow.

Following that, apply a bright apricot gold eyeshadow (MAC Melon pigment) into the inner corner of the eye, blending it into the cool green eyeshadow.

Fill in the eyebrows (Elianto Definer Pencil in Brown and Revlon Rich Sable) and highlight with a matte off-white eyeshadow (Elianto Early Dawn).

Blend out the harsh edges for a smooth finish. 

Curl your lashes and apply your favorite mascara!

Here's the completed look in different lighting. :D

Hope you all enjoyed this! Till then...

EOTD 01 : Bahamas and Wildflower

As promised, I did a look using the two eyeshadow colors I bought from Stage Cosmetics. You may check out the haul post here. FYI, EOTD is an abbreviation for EYES OF THE DAY. :) Many more abbreviations to come as this blog progresses.

Face

ZA Skin Beauty Two-Way Foundation in shade 20

The Body Shop Vitamin E Face Mist

Eyebrows

Maybelline Chai Latte eyeshadow quad - the darkest chocolate brown eyeshadow

Eyes

Stage Prime Time Eye Perfecting Base in 01 Vanilla

NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Milk

Stage Cosmetics eyeshadow mono in shades 10 Bahamas and 26 Wildflower

Elianto vibrant shadow in Early Dawn

Max Factor Color Perfection Eyeliner in Black

Max Factor 2000 Calorie Dramatic Look mascara (non-waterproof formula)

 Start off with a clean moisturized face.

Apply foundation and set with face mist.

Apply the eye primer all over the lid up to the brow bone area. 

Use a white-colored base such as NYX's Milk and apply a thin layer over the lid.

Using a shimmery lavender eyeshadow color, pack it on to the entire lid area, bringing it slightly above the crease with an eyeshadow brush.

With a shimmery taupe and a tapered crease brush, apply the color along the crease, defining the outer-V.

Get a fluffy brush and a matte cream-colored eyeshadow and apply it to the brow bone area. Blend out any harsh edges.

Fill in the eyebrows with a dark chocolate brown color.
Line the upper and lower lash line with a black liner and set it with the same eyeshadow used for the brows.

Curl your upper lashes and then apply mascara to the upper and lower lashes.

The finished look... very simple, everyday wearable look.

THE END! :D
