Party blue




We were trying out make up for wedding and my model said: "Don't make it too soft, I like bright colours and big eyes". So, I thought blue is the right colour to go for. It was beautiful, I love cobalt blue soooooo much. It fits perfectly with black hair and grey/blue/green eyes (also amazing with brown eyes by the way). However we have decided that this might be too harsh for a wedding. Might be looking nice and fresh and different but if you look through the photos ten years later you might think: "Wow, that was crazy". So we put idea of having this make up for wedding aside, but it is definitely something you might wear for night out. I made brows very dark and defined because it evens out the brightness of the eyes. If you create very outstanding bright eye look it always makes eyebrows disappear (or it takes attention away from them). Therefore it is necessary to enhance the eyebrows (more than usually). I kept rest of the face matt, with medium dark contouring, very neutral blush and shiny light pink lips.

Metallic smokey eyes




My model Djena has very beautiful big eyes and gorgeous full brows so I decided to enhance both of them. I went for very intense dark smokey eyes with metallic bronze-brown eyeshadow in the middle of the lid (using Sleek The Original palette). I have used only 2 eyeshadows - dark chocolate brown (pretty much all over the eye) and bronze metallic one (in the middle of the lid). To make it even more intense I dabbed the metallic shadow into eyelid with my finger instead of using brush. This way I also didn't get any fall-outs (which happens a lot with metallic shadows). I applied same eyeshadow onto lower lid and medium thick black gel liner (also into waterline). Lots and lots of mascara is very important for this look as well.
