URBAN DECAY AMMO PALETTE EYE MAKEUP TUTORIAL

Hey everyone, I was just browsing through my SD card and saw the photos of this EOTD, I had said would be my next post and I totally forgot about it. So here it is my latest eye makeup of the day (EOTD), using the URBAN DECAY AMMO PALETTE. This palette has URBAN DECAY's best selling eye shadows and I love it because the colors are so well put together that they work across all skin tones.
Here are the pictures:

The Urban Decay Ammo Palette one of my cherished and prized (priced) possession. Its very versatile. For this look I used three colors from this palette.
LAST CALL: A PLUM MAUVE SHADE
SIN: A WARM ROSY CHAMPAGNE SHADE
POLYESTER BRIDE: A FROSTY WHITE EYESHADOW

To achieve this look
1. After priming my lids with Urban decay primer potion I applied SIN eyeshadow all over the lids  including the tear duct area and also on the inner third part of the lower lashline.
2.  Next I took LAST CALL on a fluffy blending brush  and applied it on the outer corner of the lids and slowly bringing it up to the crease ans blending it along.
3. I blended the LAST CALL eye shadow and brought it all the way in on the lids but using soft strokes so that it fades into a rosy pink color towards the inner corner. And taking a small pencil brush I applied the LAST CALL eyeshadow on the lower lash line smudged it.
4. Next I took the POLYESTER BRIDE EYESHADOW and used it as highlight under the brow bone.
5. Used MAYBELLINE GEL EYELINER and COLOSSAL MASCARA and false eye lashes from ARDELL, to finish up the look.

3.Taking a matte medium brown eye shadow apply it on the outer one third of the lids.
4. Take more of the brown eyeshadow and bring in down to the lower lash line and blend it well.
5. Add a matte highlight shade under the brow bone and in the inner tear duct, apply your eyeliner.
6. Finish the look with curling your lashes and applying your favorite mascara, for more drama layer up your mascara.
For the lips I wanted to go dark, dark , dark. I am using Revlon super lustrous lipstick in BLACK CHERRY.  Red lipstick would go well with this look as well.

INDIAN FESTIVE TIME EYE MAKEUP EOTD

Hello everyone!
Navratri has begun!!! For the uninitiated, its an Indian Festival which celebrates the victory of Goddess Durga over the devil Mahushasura.
The mythology aside, its also time for a lot of celebration and festivities. There is a lot of garba and dandiya (dance forms) involved along with lot of strolling around and roaming about with friends and family and indulging in the yummylicious food!!!
Yum Yum...missing Kolkata. Its the best time of the year according to me to be in Kolkata.
Okay well this post is in regards to the ongoing festivities and also many more to come.
For this FOTD/LOTD  I have used copper, gold kind of shades. This makeup will compliment well with Indian tradtional wear, and its perfect makeup for the INDIAN Festive Season
Hope you all like it and incorporate it somehow and find it useful.
So lets begin!
1. I primed my lids NYX EYESHADOW BASE in skin tone, to negate any pigmentation on the lids. And taking a flat eyeshadow brush and using patting motion I applied the brown copper eye shadow on the outer half of the lids and also on the lower lash line(outer half only).

2. Next I used a orange based gold eyeshadow on the lids with the same eyeshadow brush and applied it on the lower lash line( inner half).

3.Next taking a matte brown eyeshadow I applied it on the crease to darken it.

4.Next I applied a shimmery gold eyeshadow on the tear duct, and lightly blended the dark brown on the crease. For the highlight I used a matte beige/white color eyeshadow, but you can go all out and use a shimmery highlight as well.

5. Applied a black gel eye liner and mascara on top and bottom lashes. Its done.

Hope you all like this and give it a try.
Here is the FOTD. I used a burnt orange blush on the cheeks, and for the lips I used an apricot lipstick and topped it off with a coral lip gloss from NYX. I shall update the post will the details of the products used soon. I promise, but I just wanted to get this post up soon.
I gave a  little INDIAN twist to the FOTD by using Indian jewelry. How do you guys like it?

NYX PIGMENT PEARL AND LORAC MATTE EYESHADOW IN DRAMA : SOFT EASY ON THE EYES MAKEUP LOOK

Hello everyone,
I typed and deleted typed and deleted the intro for this post. Guess my mood isnt helping either.
Well for this post I wanted to go for softer lighter colors, nothing in your face kind of dramatic so  I'm using NYX Pigment in LP 02 Pearl and LORAC matte satin finish eye-shadow in DRAMA.
Its a lovely soft metallic pink pigment that doesnt look so pink on my pigmented lids.
I shall do a detailed review on this pigment with swatches and all.
I did actually click pictures for the look along the way but unfortunately the light didnt support it...the true impact of the color is not coming in the pictures.
I will share a couple of pictures of how I achieved the look

EOTD WITH NYX PIGMENT AND LORAC EYESHADOW IN DRAMA

I primed my eyes with Urban Decay primer potion. And then applied NYX jumbo eye pencil in MILK
on the lids.
I then took the NYX pigment in on a synthetic brush and slowly patted in on the lids for even application.
Next I took a grey matte eye-shadow and applied it on the outer part of the lids and blended it softly to the pink eye shadow.
For the lower lids I applied the same grey eyeshadow on the lower lashline and smudged it lightly. On the outer corner of the eyes I took little bit of black eye shadow and blended it on the outer corner.
I then applied a black eye liner to the top lids and curled m lashes and applied loads of mascara to the top lashes.
