Golden Eye

On Saturday My friends and I traveled up to London for our friends party (2 out of 3 triplets), I will say more about our day when I get around to it, but in the meantime I thought that i  would show you the eye make-up that i wore that day. I apologise in advance for the appalling eyebrows and photography skills.

I decided to go for a really golden look, since I was wearing orange with my red satchel and I thought that i would go with the autumn look.

First I put Collection 2000, Lasting Perfection, in  the colour Ivory all over my face, when usually I would only use my tinted moisturiser for everyday wear. I have come to love this foundation, when to start with it was bought because it was cheap, so it has turned out to be a wonderful surprise.

I then dusted Rimmel London, Clear Complexion, Clarifying Powder, with my fluffy brush (sorry I'm not particularly good with the professional lingo, so 'fluffy' will have to do) over the top to reduce the shine on my shiny, shiny face.

On the apples of my cheeks I dusted MUA Makeup Academy, Blusher in Shade 3, using the same fluffy brush.

Now for the eyes, the most important part for this look. I don't have any primer, so I didn't use any. First I used the colour Half Baked on the whole of my eye-lid, which is a really strong gold colour (bottom right) from the urban Decay Bamboo Palette from a few years ago. From the same palette I used the colour Twice baked (top right), a really nice brown, on the outer third of my lid. I don't own any brushes so I just used my finger tips for both application and blending.

I then applied my MUA Makeup Academy, Intense Colour, eyeliner in the colour Jet Black, along the upper and lower lash lines and also along the waterline. This is your average pencil eyeliner, but comes with a really handy sharpener in the lid. I created a ever so slight flick on the outer corners of my eyes.


Finally i used my Collection 2000, Pump up the Volume, Waterproof Mascara, on which I am on to my second. I tend to use a few light coats, waiting in between, so that my eyelashes are defined and not clumpy.
