Hey lovely blogger people
Today's blog is my first tutorial of sorts. One of the main reasons I started blogging was to find cheaper ways to maintain a high-end make-up look. So I like to check out what's in fashion from season to season.
One of my favourite trends for spring 2014 is neutral eyes, with black liner and a cut-crease. The best thing about this look is you can use any bronzer and highlighter duo's!
I used 'Barbara Day -Cheek to Cheek Powder Blusher, in Nude' you can buy this from any Tescos for about five pounds it is lovely and an old bronzer from Clairs! I'm not sure if they still sell it, I got it yonks ago!
My gel eyeliner is from 'Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama, Gel Eyeliner - 01Black' and you can get it from boots or any drugstore! It's £8.00 and the mascara I used is also 'Maybelline The Mega Plush Volum' Express Mascara - Very Black/ Noir'
- I started out by priming my eyes using a tiny bit of concealer, on the end on my ring finger blended over and under my lids.
- Using an eyeshadow brush and the highlighter side of my blusher, I went all over my eyelids to create a light pink base.
- I then used my bronzer to cut straight through the crease of my eyeshadow, *use a small CLEAN blending brush*
- Shape your eyeshadow however you like it, I tend to stick to my eyeshape for daytime wear as it does look a little less full on!
- Using my 'Real Techniques Pixel Point Eyeliner brush' and a gel eyeliner. I did a standard cat-eye with a small flick at the ends.
- Then I go back to my blusher again with the highlighter and put some right on the inner corners of my eyes, to really highlight them.
- I then finished this look off with a couple of coats of mascara!
To make this more of a 'Going Out' look, you could use a dark brown eyeshadow on a accent brush and blend this over the outer-corner of your eyes on the movable lid, and up into the crease with the bronzer. A pair of nice false eyelashes will set this off nicely.
I also like to wear a nice peachy blusher when I wear this look as I think it really sets it off, and is lovely for spring! It's a more natural looking finish at this time of year than a Bronzer. As unless you live in America, or are addicted to sunbeds or fakebake nobody is actually that tanned!
