This year I was really into eyeliner and pastels. Let’s see what 2011 will bring.
Hi everyone,
It’s really fall and I wanted to go for a more winter type eyelook today.
I did this brown smokey eye using:
- Smashbox Cream Eyeliner in Midnight Brown (as a base)
- Smashbox Eyeshadow in Bronze (as the main colour)
- Bourjois Eyepencil in Coffee (and Cream) (on the waterline)
- Urban Decay – Midnight Cowboy (on the inner corners)
- Black mascara

Hi everyone,
I was doing my makeup yesterday and it was meant to be a green eye using MAC Spiritualize pigment, but then I started with a green Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner pencil as a base. The colour I used was Covet which is a peacock green and I just accidentally ended up with peacock eyes.
Hi everyone,
It was Nic’s birthday this weekend (Happy Birthday honey!!) and that meant I was doing makeup for a party. Nouk and I had to wear our look during the day as well, so they were toned down slightly. I’m showing you the pictures to give you an idea of makeup looks you can do for a party. No big list of products used because honestly I can’t remember it all, I was running around doing sooo many things that day, that I don’t remember what I used for everything. Nouk is wearing colours from the SLEEK Graphite palette, I’m wearing the purple from the No.7 Decades Collection – the Noughties palette and an Urban Decay DeLuxe Shadow in Fridgid, Nic is wearing a LOT of SLEEK purples from many different palettes. On our lips Nouk is wearing a GOSH gloss, I’m wearing Urban Decay lipliner in Naked topped with a clear gloss and Nic is wearing a Maybelline lipstick topped with a little Melon Pigment by MAC.

Hi everyone,
I was going for a more innocent look today, which meant something to match my soft pink sweater and white jeans. 
On my eyes I’m wearing white Bourjois eyeliner as a base followed by a matte white Sephora shadow.
The pink all over my eyelid is SPHYNX by Urban Decay (from the Volume II Book of Shadows) with a little extra Heat (also by Urban Decay) in the corner. On my top lashes I’m wearing YSL Singulier mascara in black
Hi everyone,
This post is going to be the third out of a trilogy 
This is the funked up version of a smokey eye. For the explanation of the first 5 steps for a basic smokey eye you can click here for part I.
The first 5 steps in pictures: 
For a wetlook smokey eye click here for part II. You add one product to the smokey eye shown above and the look turns into this:
If you want it even more different, you add one more product, MAC 3D glitter. I’m not advocating putting glitter on your eye, it can scratch your eye if it gets in the eye. If you do use glitter it is your own responsibility.
To make the glitter stick I used MAC Fix Plus Spray. 
All pictures were taken in natural light and this next one is done near a lamp, so that adds to the warmth and shows the glitter differently. 
Hi everyone,
This post is going to be the second out of a trilogy
This is the kicked up version of a smokey eye. For the explanation of the first 5 steps, you can click here for part I, for an even more funked up version of this smokey eye, click here for part III.
The first 5 steps in pictures:
To go from there to the look I’m showing you under here, only means adding one product. A shimmery pigment is all you need, I used Illamasqua (Dystopia Collection) Pure Pigment Loose Eye Powder in Android.
Adding this skimmer gives it a wetlook feel even though it isn’t.
Hi everyone,
This post is going to be the first out of a trilogy
I wanted to do a smokey eye using only 3 products and 5 easy to follow steps. Then I wanted to kick it up a notch and then I wanted to funk it up some more. I was taking a study break and ended up doing this look in 20 minutes (and then remembering I needed to go to the store and having to take it all off because it was a little much for a daylook store-run).
So what you see here is the start of the set, click here for part II and here for part III.
You start with a clean face because when only using blacks you can have fallout. You can use a base like Urban Decau primer potion if you like, I didn’t use a primer here, because if it creases it will add to the rock look. A great looking smokey eye isn’t perfect.
The way to get a super black lid is by using a black eyeliner gel or cream. Today I took a cream black eyeliner by Clinique and placed this all over the lid up to the crease and on the waterline. It doesn’t have to look perfect!
I then took a smudger brush and blended the edges, you do need to hurry with this because when it sets it won’t blend anymore. If you do have that problem, put a teeeeeeny tiny bit of liner on the brush and use that to smudge the colour out. It still doesn’t have to be perfect. 
You’re now slowly getting that smokey eye, take a black matte eyeshadow (I’m using MAC – Carbon) and try to get the wing to go to the end of your brow, but also follow the line of the waterline. 
Step four is actually a cleanup step, take a cotton pad with eyemakeup remover (non oily!!) or a makeup whipe and clean up under your eyes, even if you don’t see it on your skin, you probably will on the pad or whipe.
Now you can do your foundation, contouring, blush, under eye concealer, and whatever else you want to do. I only did the concealer here because the look is so strong, I wanted my skin to be bare. I’m LOVING the Make Up For Ever HD Concealer but the pencil release thingy is annoying me because the product dries at the end and that means a thick gloopy concealer. Right now I squish out some concealer from the tube and not let it come all the way out. 
Lastly you curl your lashes and add a TON of mascara (I’m wearing 2 coats of YSL – Singulier).
If you want you can add a highlight, but because the smokey eye is black you can use your own skintone as a highlight on the browbone. I didn’t add anything to keep the look modern and simple.
