Eye Look 2: MAC neutrals

My Body Shop order arrived today! How quick was that?! Very impressed :) I'm a very happy shopper! :) Oh and I ordered 9! Yes 9!!! I'm nuts! I don't even know where I am going to keep them! :/

Look at how the body butters came- cutely packaged with straw! 

On the menu today, I got an eye look I wanted to share using a few of my favourite MAC eye-shadow colours. It is a shimmery look that is quite low key because of the neutral colours used. This would still look amazing when you go out!

Excuse the eyebrows! :S

The picture above shows combination the browny, reddish and gold colours that help make this eye look really beautiful.


As you can see I brought the eye-shadow higher up on my crease (the right eye) and the left side the eye shadow just outlines my eye ball (if that makes sense?!) So you can wear it either way, depending on your eye shape. I got almond eyes, which are small, so I would choose the right one so that you can see a hint of the eye-shadow colour.

My camera is not brilliant but it did manage to pick up the colour and shimmer but I do love how it compliments my eye colour.

This look is a defo a night look in my opinion, well I would wear it at night, but if you can rock it in the day, you go girl, I take my trilby off to you! ;)

Colours used: (all MAC)

• 1)Woodwinked (all over the lid)
• 2) Sable (all over the lid on top of Woodwinked)
• 3) Antiqued (crease)

What are your favourite neutral eye looks?

And its the WEEKEND!!! Yay! Hope you have a good weekend!

Eye Look 1: Night Time

On Friday night, I went out for dinner (which was by the way amazing... especially the vanilla cheesecake!) and it was a bit posh so I thought I might as well make an effort. The eye look I created was using the 17 eyeshadow trio in 'Galactic', which I mentioned in my previous post here.

Without flash:

 The colours are amazing and are really pigmented. The left colour is a dark emerald green (which when mixed with MAC's Carbon or UD's Zero looks even more deeper and pretty!). The middle colour is a light green, but I would describe it as a deeper tone to a lime green. Then the final colour is a highlighter, which is cream white with a hint of light green in it.

Here is the look that I came up with:

 

Im sorry, the pictures should have been better, but I hope you like the look! :) I used the light green all over my lid with the dark green in the crease and brought it more in towards the inner part of my eye. The lighest colour was used as a brow highlight.

What do you think of the look?

Oh and I got my eyebrows tinted (after these pics were taken) to see what all the fuss was about and even though my brows are quite dark, the tint helped to define them and fill in parts that looked a bit 'neh'. But I do love how it looks and I might so a bit darker next time! ;)

Have a good week! :)
