Sleek Makeup Ultra Matts V2 Palette Look!

Hello!
I thought there's been a few Lush posts recently so lets break it up with a makeup look!
I've gone back to my Sleek Makeup Series and done a look using only eyeshadows from the Ultra Matts V2 Palette. This is my favourite palette from Sleek and comes with me whenever I go away, I love it! I don't know why I haven't done a look with this palette sooner, it was so easy! There's so many different choices which would've all made lovely looks but I fancied adding some blue eyeliner so went for a subtle pink/purple too :) hope you like it.

I love using matte eyeshadows, I find these ones by Sleek blend really well together which makes life a whole lot easier! For my base I used NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk and applied Dune to the inner half of my eyelid and Flesh to the outer half.

Next I used Maple in my crease and blending it upwards into Pillow Talk which I used as my brow highlight. To darken the outer corner I use a little bit of Highness but mainly Villan using a small pencil brush.

Under my eyes I used Maple and Villan, on my waterline is Stila Smudge Stick in Stingray.

To create my blue winged liner I used Lush's Control Eyeliner which I love!

Mascara is Urban Decay Supercurl Curling Mascara and Eyelashes are Princess Lashes from Born Pretty Store.

 

I hope you like my look! I absolutely love the V2 palette, it's definitely the easiest palette to get complete looks out of and I'm a huge fan of matte shades anyway so perfect for me!

Disney Series: Snow White!

Hellooo!
I have ANOTHER Disney look for you guys today! I did this one the same day as my Tinkerbell look, but I haven't been too sure about it... Snow White is a lot simpler so it made it a lot more difficult to do a look that I liked! After about 3 attempts I finally decided I liked this one, I hope you do too!

I won't over do it with info on this post, it's not one of my favourites that's for sure but it's still cute!

To prime my eyes I used ELF primer all over, NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk all over, and the yellow shade from Makeup Forever's Flash palette on my eyelid.

To set my yellow base, I used BAMM! from sleek makeup's V1 Mattes palette and also the top 2 yellow shades from Born Pretty Store's P88 Palette, to add a little shimmer.

To create the cut crease, I first went in with Chill from Sleek's V1 palette, and then with Bolt to darken.

To highlight I used POW from the same palette.

To create the eyeliner and the little snow white tear drop pattern, I used the Red from Makeup Forever's Flash palette - loving this palette right now!

For lashes, I used my Princess Lashes from Born Pretty Store (quite fitting!) and mascara is Urban Decay's SuperCurl Mascara.

On my waterline I used Stila Smudge Stick in Stingray, and that's the look! Very simple but soo hard to make it look right!

Hope you like my look and fingers crossed I'll have some more looks out soon :)

Summer Sunset Makeup Look

Hey guys!
I seem to be posting a lot of makeup looks at the moment, I hope you don't mind!
I have a few more product reviews coming later this week!
But for now, another look. This one was inspired by some gorgeous summer sunset images I've seen on holiday brochures (a girl can dream) and I instantly wanted to do a look, I hope you like it!

To prime my eyes I used ELF eye primer (costs £1.50 and it's amazing) and NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk.

Next I applied the bright coral shade from my P88 Palette from Born Pretty all over my eyelid.

In the crease and outer corner of my eye I went in with Meteoric (Sleek Celestial Palette) and Maple (Sleek UMV2)

To darken my crease I applied Villan and Highness (Sleek UMV2) with a stiff pencil brush.

To blend the colours together and soften the edges I used a baby pink shade from the P88 Palette. Finally I added Blanc Type by Mac to by brow bone and inner corner, and the eyeshadow is done.

After I took the pictures I did add Oyster from Sleek's Lagoon Palette and it looked gorgeous! For this look though, I wanted the attention to be on the eyeliner.

The eyeliner I used for my wing is Urban Decay Perversion 24/7 liquid liner, and then I went over the top half with Eldorado - such a sparkly gold.

Finally I used Stila Stingray to line my waterline, Max Factor Excess Mascara and my favourite lashes, Eylure #100's and the looks a good'un.

 

I loved this look and hated having to take it off! Although it's bright it was actually really wearable and is definitely going to be a look I will recreate for myself sometime :)

I hope you like this look, I would love to know your thoughts!

Glitter Me Pink Eyeshadow Look!

Hey guys, I've got another makeup look for you today, I hope that's alright!
This started out as something completely different to what it actually is. I was trying to do a look based around an Inglot shade but it just wasn't sparkly enough for me.
Obviously when something isn't sparkly enough what do you do? Add glitter! I hope you like it.

To begin this look I used ELF primer and NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk as my base.

When using bright colours I always use my NYX JEP in Milk as it makes the colours more vibrant.

I started by adding Meteoric (Sleek Celestial Palette) all over my eyelid, and Maple (Sleek Ultra Matts V2) to define my crease.

As my 'main' colour I added shade 613 from Inglot over the inner 2 thirds of my eyelid - where the glitter is now.

To darken the outer third of my crease I used Flora (Sleek Garden of Eden Palette).

To highlight my brow bone, and blend out the crease colours I used Blanc Type by Mac, and applied Pink Jewell (Sleek Lagoon Palette) to the corner of my eye to highlight.

Next I applied Eyeliner, which was Urban Decay 24/7 Liquid Liner in Perversion.

This is when I realised I wasn't completely happy with the look, and decided to add glitter! I've never been able to get on with glitters before so I was chuffed when it worked! I've never been able to find a product that's worked for me and the glitter, to get it to stick to my eye and not crease or dry out and fall off!

FINALLY I have found a product (actually my sister bought it for me for my birthday!) So, I used Bellapierre Clear Eyeliner Base to apply my MAC glitter in Pink.

Onto the few final steps... I added my Max Factor Excess Volume Mascara and Eylure Lashes in #100. I touched up my Perversion eyeliner and added Stila Smudge Stick in Stingray to my waterline and voila! My look is complete :)

So that's today's look, I hope you like it! Now I've found a glitter base I can work with I can't wait to see what looks I can do! Prepare for more glitter...

Lush Intuitive Makeup Look! Aka...The Tizzy Look!

Hey guys,
My wonderful best friend, Tizzy bought me one of Lush's cream eyeshadows as part of my birthday present (she knows me too well) so I thought seeming as I am missing her so much I'd do a look just for her! I moved last month to Cambridge from the Isle of Wight and I don't know how I've coped so long without her D:
I hope you like my look!

Lush Intuitive is a golden lime-green, shimmery cream eyeshadow which dries within a few seconds making it perfect for layering, but if you're quick enough it works as a great eyeshadow base too.

I absolutely adore the little bottles the emotional brilliance products come in! They look so cute lined up on my makeup table.

At first glance this colour might not seem to be everyone's taste but it's definitely worth a swatch. If you layer this colour up you get a beautiful vibrant green with golden shimmer, however if you want something more subtle then just use a little and you get a wash of gold shimmer with a slight green tone which would look beautiful with hazel eyes.

I used ELF primer as my base, and added Intuitive over my eyelid a couple of times to build up a good solid colour. To set the colour I used Fig from Sleek's Garden of Eden Palette as it's a pretty good match!

From Sleek's Ultra Matts V1 palette I used Cricket and Dragonfly to darken the crease and Pow! on my brow bone. To blend out the crease I used Adam's Apple from Garden of Eden, and Fern from Ultra Matts V2 in the outer corner of my eye to create a darker shadow effect.

To highlight my inner corner, I added Oyster from Sleek's Lagoon palette (love this shade!) and to line my lower lash line I applied Intuitive, and Fern.

My winged eyeliner is Urban Decay 24/7 Liquid Eyeliner in Perversion and Stila Smudge Stick in Stingray to line my waterline. Both are my go to liners, I'd be lost without them!

Eyelashes are my favourite Eylure #100 and mascara is Max Factor Excess Volume.

So that's my look! I hope you like it :)
