Rust Glitters

Hello Starshines!
Recently I made a "small" haul in NYX and ordered nine of their wonderful pigments. The colors are so pretty and they're so affordable I couldn't resist. So today I played with one of them; but, major beauty issue, I was so in a hurry that I totally messed up my eyeliner... Well I guess there are days like this ;) Anyway here's the look!

Products used:
NYX cosmetics Ultra Pearl Mania Loose Pearl Eyeshadow in Rust
Makeup Geek Eyeshadows in: Crème Brulee, Frappe, Chickadee, Bitten, Neptune and Ocean Breeze
Sigma Brushes

Tutorial
1. As always, place Crème Brulee all over the lid with an E40 to help blend the other colors
2. With an E35 blend Frappe just above the crease.
3. With the same E35 place Chickadee on the same area but stretch it slightly upward toward your browbone
4. With an E45 define the eye with Bitten and blend the color into the crease.
5. With an E60 place Rust all over the lid blending the edges well with the colors around.
6. To add more depth go back to the E45 and Bitten and enhance the color in the crease. This will also prevent any harsh line
7. Draw winged eye-liner (take your time not like me ;)
8. Fot the lower lashline blend Neptune and Ocean Breeze, doing this will enhance the orange color on the lid and really make it pop!
9. Highlight your inner tear duct and put mascara and you're all done for the eye look!

I wish you enjoy this 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!
