Plum smokey eyes - Sleek Vintage Romance

I've started with applying base all over my lids. I've chosen a shimmery pink cream eyeshadow (Maybelline Color Tattoo 24H cream 65 Pink Gold). Next I highlighted the area under my brows with the matte white eyeshadow. I used the white one from Sleek's Au Naturel palette. Then I applied my transition color in the crease - Inglot 342. Afterwards I applied my main lid color from Sleek's Vintage Romance palette. It is very beautiful pink-plum color with satin finish and subtle glitter. I pressed it on my lids with patting motion and I blended it slightly in the crease area. Then I blended the crease again with orange-brown matte eyeshadow from Vintage Romance palette. I applied the same plum color on my lower lids. Next I applied the silver-white shimmery eyeshadow in my inner corners. Afterwards I darkened the crease with matte black eyeshadow (from Sleek Au Naturel palette). Then I applied a liquid eyeliner on my top lashline and I winged it out slightly. I also applied a bit on my lower lashline. I finished off with the silver eyepencil in my waterline. 
Next I applied a primer in my T-zone. I used Gosh velvet touch. 
Afterwards I used MAC's Pro Longwear Concealer in shade NC15 all over my face. I highlighted under my eyes using L’Oréal True Match Touche Magique Concealer pen. I did some light contouring under my cheekbones using my cream concealer palette. I set everything with a lose powder from Mary Kay and I applied a plum blush from Sleek's Sugar palette. Then I defined my brows using a black brow pencil and I brushed them through with a clear brow gel. Next I applied mascara - as always Clump Defy from Max Factor first and Scandal eyes by Rimmel second. Then I applied lipstick. I chose Maybelline's Super stay 24h in Raspberry. While it was drying I applied the same plum eyeshadow I applied on my lids earlier on my lips with dabbing motion. Then I applied some black eyeshadow into the corners of my mouth and I blended it slightly to achieve an ombre effect.

Burgundy smokey eyes

I've started with applying cream-powder eyeshadow (Bourjois Color Editon 24H Cream to Powder texture Prune Nocturne) all over my top and bottom lid. Then I blended the edges using beige matte eyeshadow from Sleek's Au Naturel palette. Then I highlighted under my brows using matte white eyeshadow from the same palette. Then I blended the edges under my bottom lid with the same beige eyeshadow. Afterwards I darkened the outer edges with dark matte burgundy eyeshadow and blended it well. I made the outer-V's even darker with matte black eyeshadow. To make the burgundy color stand out more I applied the plum pigment from Kryolan onto the moving part of my top lids and bit on the bottom lids as well.

Then I applied black liquid eyeliner on my top lashline and I extended it a bit towards the end of my brows. Next I applied my MAC's Pro longwear concealer in NC15 instead of a foundation and I set it with the lose powder from Mary Kay. Then I contoured a bit under my cheekbones using medium brown matte eyeshadow (Inglot 342). I defined my brows with black brow pencil and I brushed them through with clear brow gel afterwards. I finished off my eyes with mascara. I used Rimmel's Scandal eyes. As a last step I applied my lipstick. I used Maybelline's Super Stay 14 h lipstick in shade 260 Always plum.

Metallic browns using Sleek Storm Palette



This is another from my signature looks - bit over dramatic smokey eyes with bold eyeliner combined with dark lips and pale skin. For me this is a daytime look but I get that not everybody is a rockchick/metalhead \m/. Anyway, this look can be toned down a bit, with neutral lips, not so over the top eyeliner and more natural lighter looking brows. This is how I created the look:
First I started with priming my lids. I used Maybelline's color tattoo shimmery bronze-brown creamy eyeshadow as  a base. Then I highlighted under my browbone with matte white eyeshadow (Inglot 373) and applied my transition color from my Sleek Storm Palette which is medium warm beige. Then I darkened the crease with chocolate matte color and blended it very well. Then I applied the shimmery chocolate brown eyeshadow all over my lids and also pass the crease in the outer corners. I made the outer corners slightly darker than my lids. I darkened the outer-v area with matte black shadow. I blended the edges very well to get smooth transmission of colors. I applied the shimmery brown shadow to my lower lids as well. I darkened the outer edges with black as well. As a last step I applied golden shimmery color in my inner corners and that was it for eyeshadow.
I primed my face with Gosh's Velvet touch primer which I find absolutely amazing. I didn't use any foundation today but MAC's Pro Longwear concealer in NC15 instead. I contoured lightly under my cheekbones using my concealer palette. I set everything with my lose translucent powder from Mary Kay. I contoured my cheekbones again with medium brown eyeshadow to make the contouring more visible. I used Inglot's 342 eyeshadow.
Afterwards I applied my gel eyeliner (from Rimmel) on my top lashline and I extended it towards ends of my brows. I applied matte black eyeshadow on top of my eyeliner to make it darker and get rid of the shine. Then I applied mascara. I used L'Oréal's Million Lashes So Couture first and Rimmel's Scandal Eyes afterwards. Then I defined my eyebrows slightly using the same black eyeshadow from Sleek's Storm palette and bit of a clear brow gel.
For my lips I used Maybelline's Super Stay 16H lipstick in shade Chestnut.

Sleek Sunset Palette inspired

I've started with priming my eyelids using MAC's Paint Pot in Soft Ochre. Then I applied light beige (Inglot 390) and medium brown (Inglot 342) matte eyeshadow into my crease and blended it well . This acted as a transition color. Then I started with Sleek's Sunset Palette. I applied golden-yellow eyeshadow (1) into my tear dot area and inner corners. Then I applied copper eyeshadow (2) right next to the previous one and I blended the colors together a bit to achieve smooth transmission of colors. Next shadow was red-brown (3) and strawberry-red (4). I blended the red one (4) also higher in my crease where it connected the medium matte brown eyeshadow I applied as first. I darkened the outer V with burgundy eyeshadow (5). I followed the same steps in my lower lid as well. Afterwards I drew my eyeliner on, medium thick and winged outwards. I applied it on my lower lashline and in my waterline as well. I finished my eyes with lot of mascara (Rimmel Scandal Eyes).
For my face I used MAC Pro Longwear concealer in shade NC 20 instead of foundation and I set it with translucent face powder. I contoured under my cheekbones a bit using Inglot's 342 eyeshadow.
Sleek Sunset Palette
I filled in my brows using black brow pencil and for my lips I choose Max Factor's Lipfinity in shade 070 Spicy.

Purple pastel goth

I've primed my lids using Inglot's AMC Eyeliner gel in shade 73 (purple). I did this to create purple base for my next eye shadows because with applying and blending they would use a lot of their pigmentation and I wanted my eye shadows to be as pigmented as possible. 
When my base was applied I blended the edges with cool beige-taupe eyeshadow from Inglot (350) and I highlighted the area under my brow bone with matte white eyeshadow (Inglot 373). Then I started applying purple eye shadows. First i applied the matte purple eyeshadow from Sleek Acid Palette all over my lid. Then I darkened it in the crease area with the dark purple one from Sleek Ultra Mattes v 2 palette (Highness) and I mixed it a bit with the black eyeshadow (from the same palette) to create more depth. Afterwards I drew my eyeliner from the inner to the outer corner and I winged it quite far at the end. I used a black gel eyeliner from Maybelline. Then I moved on to my bottom lid where I used the same products as on my top lid. First the purple gel eyeliner as a base, then the light matte purple eyeshadow on top and then I darkened it with the dark purple and the black eyeshadow. Afterwards I applied the gel eyeliner along the lash line and in the waterline. 
Next I mixed my MAC Pro Longwear concealer in shade NC 20 and white face paint and applied all over my face in order to achieve as pale skin as possible. I set it with translucent face powder. 
I defined my brows using Maybelline's Color Tattoo creamy eyeshadow in black. 
I finished off my eyes with mascara and false lashes. 
As a last step I applied gel eyeliner on my lips and I overlined them slightly to achieve fuller lips effect. 
The ultimate pastel goth look would be completed with white or purple wig.
