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.
How did u like it?

TUTORIAL : INDIAN WEDDING / PARTY MAKEUP Gold and Teal TWO Makeup Looks

Hey eyeryone, This post is going to be a makeup tutorial for the ongoing holiday and wedding season. Gold is one universal color you can never go wrong with and its a winner across all skin tones. Gold never disappoints. I am biased towards this color, against my yellow undertone, the color gold works its magic wonderfully. So here is how to achieve this look.
Lets go...
For this look I have used my beloved NYX WICKED PALETTE, which I have reviewed HERE

1.Take the warm gold eyeshadow and apply it on the lids.

2. Next I took an angled brush and picked up NYX JUMBO EYEPENCIL in Black bean on the brush and applied it as the eyeliner . I have exaggerated the shape but you may keep it the way you like.

3. I took the beautiful teal eyeshadow and layered it on top of the black cream base , the color came out to be almost black, so I would suggest to use a colored base in teal color to show the color properly.

4. Line the lower lash line with gold eyeshadow in the inner half and the teal eyeshadow on the outer half. And add a shimmery highlight color under the brows.

5. Finish the look with mascara and you are done.

Now if long winged eyes are not your cup of tea you can just try the same look with different shape on the eyeliner.

Here is another option to wear the same colors.

1. Apply the gold eyeshadow all over the lids.

2, Taking the same NYX BLACK BEAN on an angled brush apply it as an eyeliner on top lashline and on lower lashline bringing the color only halfway in, on the rest of the inner half of the lower lashiline apply th gold eye shadow and smudge it .

3. Taking a deep brown eyeshadow on the blending brush apply it on the outer crease and blend it well. Then apply the teal color on the black bean cream eye base.

4. Add a shimmery highlight and pack up your top and bottom lashes with mascara and its done.

Here is the final look 

For the rest of the face I kept it pretty simple, I used the Maybelline dream liquid mousse foundation, reviewed here 

For concealer I have used the loreal crayon concealer reviewed here

For my lips I have used Maybelline's Moisture Extreme lipstick in Wines and Roses.

For the bronzer/blush I have used Physician's formula bronze booster glow reviewed here

Here is the finished look.

BLACK ATTACK : SOFT BLACK SMOKEY EYES

Hello dolls,
So for this post I was trying to figure out a theme I would like to get inspired from and I was drawing a blank so I drew the inspiration from the blank and came up with a look as it came along.
So ultimately it turned out to be a soft black smokey eye makeup.
I dont know sometimes I feel like I should rename my blog to SMOKEY EYES BLOG. I have such a hard time coming up with names for my posts as they are in some way or form smokey eyes. I just love smokey eyes too much, maybe more than I should, Oh who am I kidding I love my smokey eyes...
So here is another one..

So lets begin:
1. Primed the eyes with UDPP (Urban Decay Primer Potion). Then I applied NYX Jumbo Eye pencil in BLACK BEAN to the lids keeping it close to the lids. Using my finger I blended it evenly on the lids and took whatever what left on the waterline.

2. Taking a jet black eye shadow on a flat eye shadow brush I packed it closely to the lids and applied it close to the lids.
3. Next taking a small blending brush I smoothed the black eye shadow on the lids and moved it toward the crease.
4. Next I took a medium black eye shadow or the darkest grey eye shadow on a fluffy bending brush and started to blend, blend and blend some more.
5. Some more blending and then I applied the highlight shade, a matte color eye shadow closest to the skin tone under the brow bone and in the tear duct.
6. I smudged the dark black eye shadow on the waterline and tighlined my eyes  with the gel eye liner, and curled my lashes and applied loads of black mascara.
TADA....

Here is the final look.
I think its a pretty wearable black smokey eye. and its easier to play with lipsticks on this makeup as its not too out there.
I hope you all like it as much as I do.

P.S : A small haul coming up next, non makeup related,(mostly)
