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!
