3 looks in 1 (using W7 In The Buff)

For the first look just apply your foundation, set with powder, contour and highlight as usual, fill-in your eyebrows (for this look I have used Anastasia Dipbrow pomade in Chocolate). I used light brown eyeshadow to define my crease and light shimmery white (with salmon undertone) to inner corner of my eyes and under the browbone as well. Then I applied some mascara (Million Lashes So Couture from L'Oréal). Afterwards some neutral light brown lipstick (24h Super Stay from Maybelline). To finish off I applied nice glowy pinky blush. You can see that creating this look is nothing extra difficult and pretty quick. This look is very daytime appropriate, for work, school, pretty much any occasion where light make up is required.


If you wish to turn this look into something more outstanding and bit more dramatic all you have to do is apply thin line of black eyeshadow along the lashline and extend it towards your temples a bit which gives you nice cat-eye liner. And there you go - look number 2 is achieved!
It is very simple and quick as well, just make sure to use correct brush for applying your black eyeshadow because if you use brush which is too soft or too stiff you might get nasty fallouts all over your face and then it might be very tricky to remove it. If your (black) eyeshadow tends to leave fall outs, you might have to apply it while holding tissue under your eye (or use shadow shields). Don't make the line too harsh neither too thick. If you find the line not natural or too harsh, just smudge it a bit. You might also substitute black eyeshadow with black gel or pen liner.

If you want to switch from day time to night time look you might be able to do it in few minutes. All you have to do is apply black eyeshadow into outer-V and bit into the inner corners as well, make sure it's blended very well. To make it more vibrant, apply shimmery bronze or brown shadow directly onto centre of your eyelid (the moving part of course). Blend it with black shadow so transmission is smooth and you have no harsh lines. After you are satisfied with intensity move along to lower lid. Apply black shadow all over the lower lid and blend it. You might apply the shimmer bronze of brown on top of it. Use black kohl pencil (or gel liner) onto waterline (top and bottom). I have also applied that shimmery salmon white shadow into inner corners once again for more bright look - you might skip this step of you want. Or you can use some light golden shadow instead. It would look nice too.
To create of these 3 looks I have used W7 In the Buff Palette which is perfect duplicate (much cheaper version) of Urban Decay Naked 2 palette I believe. You can use whatever palette (or single shadows) you wish, result will be same....
I hope you enjoyed this article and I'm looking forward to your comments!

Rainbow butterfly feat. Sleek Acid Palette

I was in quite creative mood today and I wanted to do some summer appropriate look including bright colours. Than it occurred to me that I have never actually used Acid palette for more than 2 years and I don't understand why - I totally love those neon shades. So here was a perfect opportunity to create something extraordinary with it - and this is a result!

For start I have applied white pencil all over my lid and smudged it with my finger. Then I started with bright yellow shade in my inner corner. Then followed orange, bright pink and fuchsia. I used sponge applicator (which I never use on regular basis) for pressing shadow into the crease. Those shadows are very matt so it takes quite an technique to put them into lid the way they appear as bright as they supposed to. After applying fuchsia shadow into outer-V I took soft fluffy precision brush and blended the edges with white shadow. Then I blended violet shade into the fuchsia so it was nice transmission between pink and purple. Then I applied darker blue onto the outer-V which made violet shadow look more purple.

Afterwards I applied white pencil all along my lower lid and smudged a bit with my finger. Than I applied yellow shade into inner corner and light green thereafter followed by grass green shade. That shade I connected to the blue one which I applied into outer-V earlier.
Now was the time for foundation which is few shades lighter than my skin because I really wanted the colours to stand up against my skin. I chose Vichy dermablend corrective stick in shade 12 Opal. I set everything with a loose powder (Vichy dermablend as well). I used white eyeshadow from Acid palette for highlighting (under my eyes, on bridge of the nose, forehead, above my lid and on chin).
I continued the eyes with creating very intense lines with gel eyeliner. I used white pencil onto arch of my brow to make it less visible. I made the butterfly wings with green shadows on top and light blue on bottom and I made the lines around with gel eyeliner as well. I set all lines with black eyeshadow afterwards to make them look matt and very intense.
I finished off the eyes with black mascara (Scandal eyes form Rimmel) and some false lashes.
I used some light contouring but no blush nor highlight.

For lips I decided to create more "doll" shape with pink pencil and fuchsia lipstick into inner part.
I am very happy how did this look turned out. Hope you like it.
