Easy Everyday Makeup Tutorial

makeup look for everyday brown green eyes step by step tutorial with pictures

Hi sweeties! About a week ago I posted a review on Beauty UK Posh Palette and also I promised to create a makeup tutorial for you. So today I want to show you how to do this simple everyday makeup look which fits with every eye shape and colour. It is super easy and fast to do and you will still look very beautiful! Let's start :)

1. First of all we need to prime the eyelid and then start with a champagne eyeshadow on the inner corner of the eyes;

2. Then put a pink shimmer eyeshadow and put on the outer corner of the eye;

3. I know that it is hard to see by the picture, but the next step is a highlighter. With the lightest eyeshadow from the Posh Palette I highlighted the brow bone and blended all the shades together;

4. Now it is a time for the lash line. I used some black eyeshadow to create a very thin line and blended it;

5. The next step is a mascara, I used Define FX Mascara by Beauty UK;

6. To finish the look put some white eye pencil on the water line, it will open your eyes and make them look bigger. And our everyday look is done :)

I need to admit that I'm a big fan of dramatic eyeliner and smoky eyes. But we never should forger that our natural beauty is much more attractive than false lashes and bright eyehsadows. Nature made us perfect, and simple makeup in neutral shades can show our beauty better. I wish you an amazing weekend girls, stay gorgeous <3

Beauty UK Posh Palette | Review & Swatches

Beauty UK Posh Palette #2 Masquerade Swatches

Good day angels, today I want to share with you my first impression and opinion about Beauty UK Posh Palette*, I own color set # 2 called Masquerade. It includes 10 jumbo sized eyeshadows that are a mixture of matte and shimmer finish. So let's take a detail look on the quality of the Posh Palette.

Beauty UK Posh Palette comes in a beautiful white case with a tight closure and has a mirror and an applicator inside. Even though the mirror is not big, it is large enough to see both eyes at the same time, so the makeup will be applied evenly :)

The texture of the Posh Palette eyeshadows is silky and it is very easy to work with them. I need to say that most eyeshadows are not very pigmented, but the black shade was pretty intense. All the swatches I did without any primer and I'm sure that the colors will look more intense with a good base under. All the colors are perfect for day and night makeup looks, and I liked their beautiful shimmer finish. I tried to describe them for you:

Upper row from left to right

1. Warm beige (shimmer);

2. Champagne (shimmer);

3. Dusty brown (shimmer);

4. Melted milk (shimmer);

5. Dark grey (frost).

Lower row from left to right

1. Earth brown (matte);

2. Terracotta (shimmer);

3. Warm brown (satin);

4. Black (matte);

5. Light silver (shimmer).

Beauty UK Posh Palette is new product on Beauty UK website, it retails for £5.99 and available in 4 different color schemes. Later I will do a separated post for a makeup look or a tutorial, which I created using my Masquerade palette, so please don't miss it. Thank you girls to read my post, I'll talk to you very soon! Bye, bye!

Lots of love,

NYX Eye Shadow Base | Review & Swatches

nyx shadow base review pictures buy ingredients

Hi angels! Recently I was putting in order my makeup and remembered that I never did a review on my NYX Eye Shadow Base, which I use for most of my looks. I need to admit that at first I didn't like this eyeshadow primer at all. But when I saw an actual difference which it makes I was slightly impressed and now almost I use it almost all the time. Now lets talk in details about pros and cons of NYX Eye Shadow Base.

It comes in a very simple glass jar with a tight cover. I love how simple and beautiful is the design - name of the product and small cute heart - nothing unnecessary, just important information :) On the back of the jar there is a list of ingredients and the number of the shade. My shade is #3 - skin tone. It was the only available colour in the store and I must say it is not the best option. This colour is too dark and orange for fair skin tone. I would recommend to buy white or white pearl shades.

NYX Eye Shadow Base has a very thick creamy texture, so you need just a little amount to cover all the eyelid. I perceive that NYX base has a tendency to crease, if to put a generous layer of it. In this case the less is more:) It does it's job pretty good, as you can see by the swatches. The left swatch is without the base and under the right I put some base. It is a very big difference!

NYX Eye Shadow Base retails for $7.00 and available in 3 tones at the official NYX cosmetics website. And this small jar will serve you for many years. I wish you all a happy day girls, bye bye!

Lots of love,

Liz
