RED CARPET READY MAKEUP

Hello everyone.
This post is going to be a quick one. I did this red carpet worthy, not that I have any red carpet event to attend. Yes it is a smokey look. I am habit bound dearies, cant help it.
Its not a step wise tutorial, but I have lots of photos to share.
I have used TARTE COSMETICS holiday palette to create this look.

Here is a closeup of the eye makeup

Few more pictures.

I have tried another variation of this look with red lips, how can I resist red lipstick???

 Phew!!! I am not able to decide which one goes better, please do let me know in the comments which lip color do you prefer?
I have done this makeup for a makeup contest held by SAMYUKTA from ISIMPLYLOVEMAKEUP.

GLAMOROUS SMOKEY EYES USING MATTE EYESHADOWS

Hello everyone.
So after doing a mini series of sorts on the makeup look appropriate for day time and office wear I was in the mood to try something heavier, moving more towards the weekend, a glamorous makeup look but wasnt in the mood to use anything glittery or shimmery so I came up with a matte look. But sorry couldnt take pictures of this look step wise, just one picture in the beginning when I wasnt sure where this look was going.
Anyhooo, I shall share that one picture hopefully it gives you a jest of how to get this look.
I shall do my best to take you through the steps to achieve this look .

After prepping the face with THE BODY SHOP MATTE IT PRIMER, I applied my MAYBELLINE DREAM LIQUID MOUSSE FOUNDATION .
I then applied my LOREAL CRAYON CONCEALER UNDER THE EYES.
Then I set my face with ELF HD powder .
And then came the NYX EYESHADOW BASE .I applied it on the entire eyes including the lower waterline and blended it well.
Then I took a deep burgundy brown and applied it on the lids keeping it well below the crease.
Then I added a mid tone black eye shadow (not the blackest black) on top of that brown eyeshaow taking it over the crease slightly.

And then all I did was blend, blend, blend until I got the desired effect, and then I added the brown on the lid area again to make it pop a bit as it was too blended.
for the lower lash line too I overlapped the eye shadows first brown and then black and blended them really well. For eyeliner I just used the black eyeshadow , curled my lashes and applied loads of mascara. The picture below is with false eyelashes.

Hope you all liked it...
UNTIL NEXT TIME...
