NAKED 3 PALETTE X MAC HONEYLOVE | NEUTRAL LOOK

Inspired by rose hued neutrals and monotone products.

| EYES |

For the eyes I used MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly as a base. I then used Urban Decay primer in Sin on the center of the lid & inner corner.

I blended out the shade Limit in the crease - this will act as my transition colour as the other shades I use are all shimmer shades.

I used Trick in my inner half of the lid and liar in the outer half of the lid.

I then used Factory in my crease only going two thirds of a way in and Darkside for my outer corner.

Taking Mugshot I applied this along my lower lash line and Strange along my brow bone.

I went back in with Limit to blend everything out and used this to blend out Mugshot on the lower lash line.

I then used a white eyeliner by NYX along my waterline and tight lined with a gel pencil liner by Makeup Revolution. I created my winged liner with Soap & Glory Supercat Liner.

| LIPS |

I lined my lips with ELF Studio Lip Liner in Natural and used MAC Honeylove - it's a darker matte nude shade with a pink undertone - living for this shade RN <3

I will have a product list of every product used for this look down below!

HOW TO WEAR BLUE BROWN EYES | FT. MAKEUP STORE MICROSHADOW 'VOLGA'

Today I'm basing this look around Make Up Store's Microshadow in the shade 'Volga' - a beautiful warm brown with blue duochrome. Agh it's so pretty and makes me want all of the shadows!
Even though it's a lovely colour I was a bit stuck on how I could incorporate it into a look, so if you're stuck for ideas here you are!
Also, if you didn't know BeautyBay.com now sell MUS products! They recently had a 3 for 2 where I got this eyeshadow with a lip liner (which I use in this look) and their lipstick in Pretty Baby.

 EYES | Firstly, I used MAC's pro longwear paint pot in Painterly as a base. I then used the shade Nooner from my Naked 3 palette as a crease colour. Taking some of MUS' microshadow in Volga onto a flat shadow brush I sprayed over with MAC's Fix Plus, to intensify the duochrome - I just wish my camera would pick up the intensity! Using a blending brush I took a small amount of Volga and blended this in with the crease colour. To transition the two colours I went back in with nooner and blend blend blend. Then taking Strange from the Naked 3 palette I used this along my brow bone and blended out Nooner with this. Layering and blending each shade with transitional colours is really key for a seamless blend. For the bottom lid/undereye I went in with the tiniest amount of Volga and did the same process of blending with Nooner and Strange.
I decided to create a wing, this is optional but I think it tied everything together. I then highlighted my inner corner and the center lid using Make Up Revolutions Awesome Metals in Rose Gold - it's exactly the same as the Stila Magnificent Metals but a fraction of the price! I actually used this dry and just dabbed with my finger rather than mixing with the liquid primer.

LIPS | For the lips used Make Up Stores lip liner in My Precious Coral, and then went over with Make Up Academy's Lipstick in Shade 16 Nectar (their lipsticks are literally £1) then used a clear gloss on top for a glossy finish.


Hope you enjoyed this post & got some inspiration or ideas for your duochrome shadows!

HAUL | SUPERDRUG & BEAUTYJOINT | MUA, RIMMEL LONDON, MILANI, B. COSMETICS

Good afternoon everyone I have a haul for you today, I got some bits n bobs from Superdrug and Beautyjoint - thought I'd post this haul for those who are curious about some dirt cheap products and if you've never bought anything on Beautyjoint before and want to know about shipping, customer service, etc. :) lets get on with it shall we!

SUPERDRUG

MUA LIPSTICK - £1.00

 

For £1 I am highly impressed with these MUA Lipsticks - I repeat, £1! I think these lipsticks have sturdier and better looking packaging than other more expensive brands.

 and if you ever reach the end of your lipstick, don't fret because you can get even more product at the bottom! If you unscrew the clear plastic bottom you will discover there is actual lipstick inside!

 

I bought shades 4 and 16. One con of the lipstick range is that the finishes vary so you'll have to do your research if you're specific about the finish you want your lipstick to be. I actually wasn't aware of this and expected shade 4 to be a satin finish, similar to shade 16. 

Not bad if you want a sheer, moisturising pink for work or just a little extra something. I really love shade 16 particularly, highly pigmented and creamy - not drying at all. In real life it comes off a little more light/pastel toned and its really lovely for spring those starting out in oranges.

MUA Undress Your Skin Foundation in Porcelain - £5.00

 I've worn this foundation a few times since purchasing and I find it very slightly dewy - good for those who are used to matte and want to try dewy without going full on. It has GREAT high coverage, I have a bad case of face demons and this covered them perfectly without needing concealer - so thats a massive bonus jonus for me. It is also very light feeling, blends well and matches my skintone so I'm literally over the moon. 

However, after wearing for a long time, say 6+ hours it will start to separate and become patchy. I have long days so it's not something I could wear to Uni or for a typical 8 hour shift. But this is VERY good if you're running errands & won't be out for long, and just want something light feeling without compromising coverage!

B. Cosmetics Eyebrow Kit in Blonde - £9.99 RRP

 Now Superdrug have free shipping online for orders over £10, so I needed something to bring it to £10. I chose to try out a brow pencil by B. Cosmetics as it was on offer for around £2-3, as the RRP is £9.99 which is on the expensive side for drugstore, I expected a higher quality in comparision to typical "cheap" brow pencils for blondes that ALWAYS come up orange! So I was a little disappointed to find it was an orange shade. It doesn't look too bad in the swatch - but you can see it's warm toned, and next to my blonde hair it just looks bloody orange. Such a pain!

MUA Nail Polish - £1

 I grabbed these nail polishes by MUA for just £1 in shades (form left to right) Natural Days, Bright Pink and Lush Lilac. Really pretty spring shades - it requires 2 coats and was pleasantly surprised with the quality for a bloomin' pound!

BEAUTYJOINT

I highly suggest checking out Beautyjoint as I'm able to buy products from brands that I can't find in the UK, and it's usually cheaper than buying from other sites. I've bought with insurance and without, insurance is only a couple dollars extra and both options arrived in time and nothing was damaged or lost so it's up to you if you're comfortable taking the risk.

Milani Colour Statement Lipstick $5.69 / £3.37

I've wanted to try these out for such a long time because people rave about them on blogs and YouTube and I finally got my hands on some! They're extremely pigmented and I LOVE the packaging, I'm a sucker for gold packaging haha. These are very rightly named "colour statement" as I think these lipsticks make for great bold, bright lips.

Rimmel London Show Off Lip Lacquer in Luna - $7.49 / £4.43

 They're otherwise known as the Apocolips in UK (and Europe - I think?) but elsewhere they're called 'show off' I have no idea why I like the name apocolips haha. Anyway, its a lot more pigmented than I expected, has a glossy finish and its a really lovely peachy/orange tone (I love my oranges! Wait, is that a euphamism?) again, a great spring colour or for those who want to venture into the orange shades!

Hope you all enjoyed this haul! If you like my hauls and want to see more in the future then please make sure to subscribe to my blog! :) Also you can make requests on my twitter or tumblr, or even comment below!
