Smokey-Eye w/Naked2 Eyeshadow Palette

Disclaimer

I am taking no blame, whatsoever for any girls complaining that ''the baiz are pure plaguin' me cozza me smokey eye make-up''.

You're gonna be dacent lookin after usin these few simple tips. Not my fault.

After a few years of smashing eye-shadow off the ground in a temper and spending at least 80 bucks on various smokey-eye kits and kaboodles, i've figured out a fool-proof way of doing a quick smouldering, smokey-eye effect that will suit all skin tones, hair colours, eye sizes, foot sizes, errrrrthing. 

It works!!
( I sound like im selling you a product...but im not. I wish I was! I need the dollahs. )

So, here a couple of things you need! Oh and by the way, the Naked2 Eye-shadow palette is not necessary for this, personally I just love the colours and I got it as a present so: happy days!

-3 shades of neutral eyeshadow; black, brown, gold,  cream etc.

-2/3 eyeshadow brushes

-Mascara

Highlighter (if you fancy)

-Eye-shadow primer

- i cannot stress how vital this stuff is, especially if you       plan on goin on the tear with 'da galz' and intend on sweating off your make-up dancin around the place like a jack-ass: love that ;)

at least you know that at the end of the night when you look like a homeless man that's been put into a mixed-colour wash on a 50 degree spin cycle...you know your eye-make up will still be in tact.

I, my friends, have got yo back.

Right, so after applying your primer on both eyelids, apply the black eyeshadow around the edges of the eyes and bring it half way into your eye-lid.

The black is labelled Blackout in the Naked Palette.

Next, Apply a medium/dark brown colour on the rest of the lid as such. Blend it slightly with the black in the centre of the eye lid.

The colour I used is a dark, shimmery brown, which is labelled Snakebite in the Palette.

Finally, using a light brown/gold colour, blend, blend, blend! 

I used the Snakebite colour in the palette to lend the colours together and also put a little bit of this colour under my eyes aswell cos that's cute too I guess :)

This is what it should kinda look like when you're finished applying mascara and blending the lovely colours together!

Personally, these few simple steps work a charm for me, I never seem to go wrong which always used to be a problem for me!

However ladies, here is your solution! Give this a try, if it doesn't work, I give every wingle one of you the chance to punch me directly in the mouth.

Feel free to let me know of you tried it and how you got on!

Product Review - Collection: Work the Colour EYEBROW KIT

I thought for my first blog post i'd write about something very close to my heart which naturally, is eyebrows. Probably because I have none. Which to be honest isn't great craic.

Being ginger is all fun and games until you put on 17 layers of make-up and realise you look like a bit of a tit with invisible eyebrows: see exhibit A. Drastic, eh? Ya. Tough aul life. 





So I thought to myself...eyebrows are nice, right? wrong.
Some people just get it so..very...very wrong. See exhibits B, C, D....e..f..g... 

WHOOOMP......there it is.


I finally found a product that, whilst giving me normal looking eyebrows, manages to not make me look like an utter muppet at the same time.Looked for it, found it, bought it, happy days, life is great :)




The Collection Brow kit (approx. €4.99)  is reeeally handy if like me you're slightly on the naked side when it comes to eyebrows. The Kit contains 3 different shades for blonde, brown and black coloured eyebrows. It also comes with the nifty little brush for people with midget hands to apply your lovely brows, which does take some getting used to. But still fab nonetheless!

It also comes with clear brow mascara to apply over your brows to keep the tint in place.

AND...it's compact. About the size of one's palm which is handy for not bulking up your make-up bag/box/sack...whatever you care to store your make-up in. Winning!




So, there you have it! Applying to brow powder is easy enough once you get used to it! here's a couple of steps I provided which I myself have found work for me so far! Applying a small amount around the beginning of your brow helps to define the shape of the brows as well as giving you a guideline of where your applying the powder.
( Excuse my atrocious brows as they are in dire need of tweezing, which quite frankly was NOT happening today as I had some television to watch. #SorryNotSorry ). I used the medium shade to do this part with.

Then, using the darkest shade, i drew a thin line across the rest of the brow, again, to give a guideline of what shape you're doing on the brows. It





Finally, using the medium shade of powder again, I filled in the rest of the brow to my desired shape and viola. Actual Eyebrows.




And there ye have it lads. The gingers guide to creating the illusion you have eyebrows instead of albino worms resting above your eyes. Couple of do's & dont's to keep in mind.


DO: everything I told ye to do throughout this little rant. Provided ye do this, ye will have truly lovely eyebrows to be envied by the all the beours.




DON'T: apply the powder in square patterns around your eyebrows as such. 





Personally, I find this to look silly not only on me, but....everyone? ever? ya. stop.

Never was a fan of the Scouse-brows myself.







Finished Product





Hope you enjoyed this and found it somewhat useful. Til next time ;)
