Today I come with a soft look with a loooot of glitters! I think this is perfect for an everyday makeup and the shimmer adds an extra pop to shine in the sun ;)









Products used:
Makeup Geek Eyeshadows in: Beaches and Cream, Cupcake, Burlesque and Brown Sugar
NYX NYX cosmetics Ultra Pearl Mania Loose Pearl Eyeshadow in Mink
Sigma Brushes

Tutorial:

1. With an E40 blend Beaches and Cream all over the lid and into the crease
2. With and E25 apply Cupcake on the crease and take the color toward the crease and inner corner to create a soft gradien.
3. With an E55 place Burlesque on the outter part of the lid, blendng it toward the middle of the lid. Don't take it too high in the crease but work in rainbow motions with the brush held sideways and folow the curve of the crease to blend the edges.
4. With an E57 place NYX Mink on the inner corner then stretch it outward to blend it.
5. Put eyeliner
6. To add more depth take an E45 and dab Brown Sugar on the outter V
7. For the lower lash line take an E20 and Brown Sugar then blend it with an E30 and Beaches and Cream to create a soft smoked effect.
8. Highlight the inner tear duct and put mascara and you're all done for the eye look !

Goddess Glow (A Makeup Geek Summer Smokey)

Hello Starshines!
One of my favorite makeup look of all time is the smokey eyes. Yet, in summer I find hard to wear this kind of dramatic look so I feel a bit frsutrated. Anyway, today I decided I needed to do a Smokey and with the help of the wonderful warm tones from Makeup Geek, I came with this! It was also a wonderful occasion to try their marvelous pigment Afterglow!!











Products used:
Makeup Geek Eyeshadows: Crème Brulee, Goddess, Cocoa Bear and Brown Sugar
Makeup Geek Pigment: Afterglow
Maybelline Eyestudio Gel Liner
Cover Girl Lashblast Volume Mascara
Sigma Brushes 
Essence eyebrow kit

1. Apply Crème Brulee with an E40 all over the eyelid to help blend the colors.
2. With an E 35 blend Cocoa Bear on the outter V and take it in the crease, work it pretty high for a dramatic smoked effectbut make sure to blend the edges well near the brow bone so it won't be stark brown up there!
3. Taking an E55, dab Goddess on the middle on the eye and drag it into the outter part of lid. You don't have to be super precise in the blending here as we're gonna add some more colors afterwards.
4. With an E57 (my fav brush ever to apply pigment!) place Afterglow on the inner corner then smoooth it out upward and onto Goddess (if that makes any sense >_<)
5. With an E25 place Brown Sugar on the outter V then holding the brush sideways bring it into the crease. Then turn the brush and sweep back and forth with no additional product.
6. Apply a dramatic winged eye-liner because you want to be bold and dark ;) and put black khol on the upper AND lower waterlines (placing khol on the upper lashline will add more depth to the look and enhance the smokey effect!)
7. For the lower lashline use an E15 to place Brown Sugar on the outter part and Goddess on the middle part. Place the brush really close to he waterline so the eyeshadows will prevent the khol to smear throughout the day.
8. Smudge it with an E20 and Crème Brulee.
9. Apply Shimma Shimma on the brow bone, put mascara and you're all done!

I hope you enjoyed this look, please leave a comment if you did and I wish you all an amazing day!
