Pink Lips and Smokey Eye - Make Up Tutorial ♡

Hello beauty lovers  ♡

So today I am going to be telling you how I got this seriously bright pink lip and grey/brown smokey eye look. This look is definitely a night time look as I think it's a tad too heavy for the day but you could always mix the lip with a more natural eye for a daytime look.

So lets go ......

1. Always moisturise your skin - leave to dry

2. Prep your skin using a primer - very important for a long lasting flawless finish

3. Apply your foundation using Real Techniques Stippling Brush

4. Contour around hairline, down the bridge of your nose, along your jawline and beneath your cheekbones

5. Highlight above your cheekbones, under eyes, above upper and lower lip, along and in-between the contour on your nose and in-between brows

6. Blend all contour together using the Beauty Blender

7. Brush out brows using a brow brush then apply pencil or gel to brows. Brush out again for a natural look

8. Apply Busted all over lid, then using Snakebite blend into crease working the way to the outer corners

9. Apply HalfBaked in the inner corner and tear duct 

10. Blend all together focusing on the crease using the Real Techniques Shading Brush

11. Using Busted line underneath lower lashes 

12. Apply liquid eyeliner along the upper lash line gently winging outwards at the outer corner

13. Line inside your waterline working your way along the tear duct

14. Curl eyelashes and apply mascara

15. Apply false eyelashes - Optional

16. Line lips and then apply lipstick and a touch of lipgloss for extra glamour

17. Apply blusher on the apples of your cheeks using the Real Techniques Blush Brush

18. Apply highlight over cheekbones

Yayyy the look is complete!

Eyeshadow Palette ♡ - Urban decay Naked 2 verses MUA Undress Me Too

I thought I would do my first ever post on two products that I swear by and that I use EVERY day.

They are of course eyeshadow palettes! I tend to always wear a brown smokey eye for my every day make up look and these two palettes are perfect with both having a gorgeous selection of neutrals and brown colours.

As you can see from the above pictures the MUA one has had A LOT of use!

The above picture is the MUA undress me too palette. The colours from left to right: Naked, Devotion, Shy, Fiery, Lavish, Dreamy, Tranquil, Exposed, Reveal, Wink, Obsessed, Corrupt.

Above is the Naked 2 palette. Colours from left to right: Foxy, Half Baked, Bootycall, Chopper, Tease, Snakebite, Suspect, Pistol, Verve, YDK, Busted, Blackout.

I honestly love both of these palettes! However if I had to choose one over the other I would have to pick the MUA undress me too palette. The main reason being is that I actually prefer the colours in the MUA palette compared to the Naked 2 one. I feel that the colours are more pigmented and therefore apply more easily. 

Another big reason has to be the price difference. 

MUA Undress me too palette - £4.00   buy here

Urban Decay Naked 2 palette - £36.00 buy here

Yes you have read that correctly, £4.00 I know! Even if you're not strapped for cash I suggest going to buy the MUA palette (I've made several of my friends purchase it just because its so affordable) because it really is such an amazing little palette and even if you only use one of the colours (which I highly doubt) its still so worth it!

I will say though that the only downfall with the MUA palette is the black shadow in 'corrupt' you really have to build up the colour if you are wanting a dark black look. Whereas the black shadow 'Blackout' in the Naked 2 palette is as black as it comes - really amazing matte black eyeshadow, perfect for a smokey eye look!

I hope this post has been helpful if you were debating whether to buy a new eyeshadow palette!

Let me know which palette you guys prefer in the comments below.
