Modern MOD style

I've started with priming my eyes (as usually). I first applied my MAC Pro Longwear Concealer in shade NC 15 and MAC Paint Pot in Soft Ochre on top of it. I set it with Inglot Freedom System Matte eyeshadow in shade 350. Then I applied plenty of white eyeshadow (Inglot Freedom System Matte in shade 373) under my brows, in my inner corners and on the moving part of my lids. Then I drew my crease where I wanted it (which is way higher than it actually is) with black matte eyeshadow and small angled brush. Then I started to blend it with matte dark chocolate color and very small fluffy brush. I blended the edges of the chocolate color with cool medium brown eye shadow (Inglot Freedom System Matte in shade 342) and I blended that one with white shadow I used earlier. I had to blend very carefully and make sure I didn't go too high. When I was satisfied with transition of colors I drew a thin black line with liquid liner on top of the black eye shadow line I created earlier. I blended this line with black eyeshadow so it would fade into the brown eyeshadow.
Next I lined my upper lash line with liquid liner and I winged it out. I made sure I wouldn't connect this line with the one on the crease.
Then I applied medium brown eyeshadow on my bottom lids and I blended it well.
Afterwards I moved on to my face. I primed my T-zone and cheeks using Smashbox Photo Finish foundation primer. Then I applied my currently favourite foundation Mary Kay TimeWise luminous-wear liquid foundation in shade 4 Ivory. I concealed my under eye area using LA Girl Pro HD concealer in shade Natural and I set everything with loose powder from Mary Kay. I also contoured under my cheekbones using Inglot Freedom system matte eyeshadow in shade 342.
Next I defined my eyebrows using matte black eyeshadow (I've been using the whole time in this look)  Rimmel Glam eyes in shade 214 Jet Black. I also brushed them through with some clear brow gel.
Then I applied plenty of mascara. I used L’Oréal Volume Million Lashes So Couture mascara and Max Factor Wild Mega Volume mascara.
As a final step I applied nude pinky lipstick Max Factor Lipfinity 001 Pearly Nude.

Grungy copper look using Sleek Sunset Palette

 I've started differently this time. I first primed my face using Dermacol Sheer Face Illuminator in shade Sun Bronze. Afterwards I applied my foundation on top of it. I used Mary Kay TimeWise luminous-wear liquid foundation in shade 4 Ivory. The combination of foundation and illuminator gave my skin beautiful fresh glow.

I concealed my under eye area using LA Girl Pro HD concealer in shade Natural and I set everything with Mary Kay Translucent Loose powder. I contoured under my cheekbones a bit using Inglot Freedom System Matte eyeshadow in shade 342.

Then I moved on to the eyes. I applied a bit of a concealer on my eyelids and I set it with powder. I highlighted my brow bone using Inglot Freedom System Matte eyeshadow in shade 373 and I applied shade 350 all over my eyelid. Then I applied coppery-red eyeshadow from Sleek Sunset palette on the moving part of my lids and I blended it upwards. I applied this shadow all along my lower lash line as well. Next I darkened the outer V's using cool burgundy shimmery shadow from the same palette. I darkened it even more using matte black shadow. I applied tiny bit of the golden eye shadow into my inner corners.
When I was done with applying and blending of eye shadows I lined my eyes using liquid liner from Catrice.
Next I applied L’Oréal Volume Million Lashes So Couture mascara on my top and bottom lashes.

I defined my eyebrows using Rimmel Glam eyes eyeshadow  in shade214 Jet Black.


Then I moved on to the lips. First I outlined them using Essence Long Lasting eye pencil 01 Black Fever and then I applied Max Factor Lipfinity color & gloss liquid lipstick in shade 550 Reflective Ruby. I blended the outline a bit before it dried in order to achieve bit of an ombre effect.
