Intense Smokey Eyes ♥

Good Morning Ladies and Gents,

This post is on gorgeous smoked-out eyes. This look is extremely intense and over-the-top much like would be seen in ‘TOWIE’ or ‘Geordie Shore’. I know many girls out there,including myself are obsessed with this type of make-up at the moment and its seen everywhere on social media!

So for this look I began with the eyes first, I applied foundation to the eyes and underneath the eye area, I then applied powder so that when I applied the eye-shadow it wont move or slide.

I then went in with a nude base eye-shadow. For this I used my fuschia palette, taking a matte cream colour. You can use absolutely and cheap shade for this step.

Next I applied a deep-purple shade to the eye,all-over the lid continuing to add more and more depth of colour until it was prominent and made the eyes pop. I then took my undereye brush and applied this same shade under the lash line.I took this colour lower than I usually would for the illusion of bigger eyes and to draw attention to the eye colour.

I blended this shade out -in the shape of the models eye.

Next I took a matte black shade and repeated the previous steps.For this shade I made sure to leave a halo of the purple shade above the black colour. I continued to apply the black shade adding depth of colour and blending the shade into the lash line. I then took my under eye pencil brush with some of the matte black shade and applied it to my lower lash line, this time the black matte shade was closest to my lashes and I also left a Halo of the purple shade to the bottom lash-line. Again this draws attention to the eye colour.

I applied gel eye-liner to the upper lash line and lower lash line.Using my under-eye pencil while this gel was still wet,I blended the gel out to seal the eyes. I then applied this gel eye-liner to the waterline in one quick swoop to prevent discomfort for the model.

Finally I added lashings of mascara to the bottom and top lashes and then I finished the look by applying Ardell Fake Eyelashes.

Above is the finished look 🙂 Hope you enjoyed, don’t forget to like,comment and follow.

Nail’d It…!

Its Nailzzzz’in  time !

This post is basically going to be ma nails.

Over the summer Ive been busing with nail appointments for ‘Shellac’ and ‘Gel polish’ manicures. Below are just a few of my favourites..

1. Using Orly Gel Fx in ‘Lola’ I created this pretty in pink look with nail art pens to add to the girlyness of the whole thang

2. Using ‘Orly Gel Fx – Gumdrop’ Another lovely pastel, summer colour. Its super bright in real life as well which is so flattering and its such a unique colour.Laaave ❤

3. Next is ‘Orly Gel Fx- Seashell and Gelish -June Bride’ This combination is really flattering and dressy. Great for events like a wedding or a graduation. Maybe even a debs if your dress is a similar colour !

4. This next one is ‘Gelish -TikkiTikiLaranga’ LOVE this colour. Great for summer holidays. This is what I used myself on holidays this year as well as on four other clients . So popular but you can see why,the colour is so vibrant it jumps out of the screen!

 After 3 weeks there were no signs of chipping on this clients hand either as seen below. Only regrowth. BENIFITS.

Finally here are some of the nude nails I done over the summer using ‘Gelish- Tan’ and ‘Gelish -June Bride’ cobo’s and ‘Gelish – Glitz combos’. Most of the nudes Ive done this year were for Debutantes , who doesnt love a nude nail! I also have some suggestions combinations I done using ‘Gelsih- Sleek White’ and ‘Gelish -Im brighter than you think’along with some nail art I done on clients and myself…

This final look I created a few days ago on another client and I really loved it. Its a combination of ‘Orly Gel Fx – Seashell, Lola’ ,’Gelish-June Bride’ and nail art designs which she wanted. Of course I was more than happy to oblige love love love nail art requests! 

My next nail post will definitely be involving some Winter colours but for now Im just not ready to let go of the summer pastels ! Cry cry.
