From day makeup to night makeup

I wanted to do a tutorial on how to change a day makeup look into a night time look.

From this... (yes with the mascara messes on the lid...)

... to this.



I had on MAC Bare Study paint pot, IsaDora's eyebrow pencil and mascara to start with.

Start with a skin colored shadow and apply that with a shader brush to the browbone and down to the crease. This is done because a color like matte black is difficult to blend otherwise if it's directly on skin. I used the lightest matte shade from Wet n Wild's Vanity palette. I used Sigma's E60 large shader. You can add the shadow all the way under the brow to the inner corner.

Like so. The red brush is from The Cities collection from the Paris kit.

Flip the E60 over if you want, and apply a matte white shadow to the moving lid. I used Grimas shadows in the rest of the tutorial. 

With a E45 small tapered blending brush take the tiniest amount of matte black shadow and start applying that with a very light hand to your crease and outer V area. It is best to start with minute amounts of dark, and especially matte shadows as it is easier to apply more than to take off. 

With windshield wiper motion make the brush follow your crease. It should apply the matte black and blend at the same time.

Now take an E25 blending brush and the skin colored shadow again and start blending the outside area of the black. We don't want any sharp edges. If you want you can add more matte white on the lid. My E25 is travel-sized and it is a gift that comes with your purchase when your purchase is over $30.

Add eyeliner to the top lash line and some kajal liner to the waterline. You could tightline as well. Add more mascara and fake eyelashes if you want.

If you want more black, you can add more like I did.

You can bring the black on the outer lid part as well with the tapered blending brush. 

The red brushes are by Sigma Beauty. They are from the Cities Paris kit they were selling a while back. I bought mine during the Black Friday sale. The travel-sized E25 you get when your order is over $30. I am a Sigma Affiliate and the links to the brushes are affiliate links. If you visit their website, decide to purchase something, and appreciate my honesty, please use my affiliate links. I earn a small commision from every sale, and affiliate that I bring and I would really appreciate it if you would use my affiliate links. Thank you.

Recreation: MAC Pink Freeze

I had a look at MAC's facecharts... I wanted to recreate a look from there.

My version:

This is the original:

If you click on the face chart picture, it takes you to the website where I search for these..

I used:

2 Inglot shadows (both greens)

NYX jumbo eyeshadow pencil Milk 

matte white eyeshadow by Grimas

glittery white eyeshadow by Lumene Natural Code

GDE MIngles

MAC Blacktrack fluidline

Estee Lauder lengthening, smudge-proof mascara

Max Factor Masterpiece mascara

First I applied NYX eyeshadow pencil, Milk. I took the lighter green Inglot shadow with Sigma's E35, a tapered blending brush and applied the green to the crease and a little on the brow bone. I took a matte white by Grimas and applied that all over my lid.

I took some darker green with the same E35 and applied that on top of the lighter green, but just to the crease.

I took a glittery white shadow by Lumene natural code from the punk palette and applied that with an E25 by Sigma. I used the E25 for the matte white as well.

I took a flat eyeshadow brush and took GDE MIngles, a matte blue and applied that a little on my crease and lower, but so that it doesn't cover the white on the lid completely. 

I used MAC's Blacktrack fluidline to line my eyes. I took some matte black by Grimas and applied that on my lower lashline. Apparently the eyeliner brush (Sigma's E05) slipped a little because there's a very thin line that shouldn't be there. :D

I put Estee Lauder's lengthening, smudge-proof mascara. Then I added Max Factor's Masterpiece.

How does it look?! Would you like to see more of these?

PS. there's a poll on the right in case you haven't seen it yet.


Also, this is my 200th post!!!Okay it wasn't. I have some drafts, and the total is 200... :D Bummer

One of my favorites...

Hey everyone!
GDE Secretive to the lid. Just Bitten to the outer half or so.

Grimas matte dark red 545 to the outer corner and crease. Attempted sharp edge, but smudged it a little.

Grimas matte black 101 to the outer crease.

Black gel liner. Some matte black and red to the lower lash line.

What do you think? Any requests for me to do?

Tutorial - Red & Silver

I was supposed to upload this yesterday but since I found out on Saturday night that I have a rather difficult and extremely detailed exam on Monday morning. I spent yesterday studying for it and didn't do anything to my blog because I did not have the time. I also had to go visit my parents so this blog was not my priority. Now after the exam I have a little time to update before my next class at 2PM.

This is a red + silver tutorial and the end result looks like this.

First I applied NYX jumbo eyeshadow pencil Milk to the inner corner. Coastal scents gel liner in Maroon to the rest of the lid, like so.

Then Glamour Doll Secretive. Secretive is a gorgeous pink that unfortunately does not photograph well at all.

GDE Lovers Lane, which is a dark, maroon, shimmery red to the outer half or so. Concentrating a little in the middle of the lid. Then Grimas matte 545 which is a dark red to the outer corner and crease. Lower lash line lined with Grimas too.

I blended the eyeshadows with a basic shimmery silver. I used it a little as a highlight as well.

Liner + mascara.

This liner is a little different from my usual. It's not my usual winged liner either. It's somewhere in between.

Hope you like it!

Recreation - oranges and pinks/reds

I saw this post by Phyrra and I told her I'd do something like that on Tuesday, as in today.

I used Jailhouse Jumpsuit by GDE and a matte pinkish red eyeshadow (nr. 545) by Grimas.

To the lower lash line I used GDE Dusk mixed with NYX trio eyeshadow Rock&Roll palettes gray eyeshadow. I guess I could've used a purple like Phyrra or just simply a black, but I wanted to use something else this time.

I lined my eyes with MUS black gel eyeliner.

Also the lower and upper waterlines (or tightline), whatever it is. What is it by the way?

I will fix the lower waterline before I leave... with a pencil eyeliner. So much better for that.

The lowest picture I took in natural light. The rest I took when I was standing by the window, but with a flash and the cuisine-program. The more closer it gets to summer the better the pictures turn out... :D Otherwise I'd with it would be a snowy winter for the whole year!

What do you think?

Tutorial - Recreation of MissChievous' Dark Androgynous look

This look is a recreation of this look. It's by a youtube makeup guru MissChievous.

Final result. Not an everyday makeup look for sure! But great still.


And this is how you do it:

I used NYX jumbo eyeshadow pencil in Black bean as a base. I put some MAC Delft paint pot on top of that. Don't worry, it looks like a mess, but it will end up looking great. :D

Dusk by Glamour Doll in the crease using like a windshield wiper motion, like so.

If you can, add some black base to your lower lash line and some eyeshadow you wish to use in the crease. I'm not using the exact same products as Julia/MissChievous because I don't have them, so you can replase all the products by what you have of course.

Take a soft black liner pencil and put that on your lid, not just a small thin line, but on your entire lid up to the crease. Pat it down with a finger and blend the line a little with the eyeshadow in the crease. Then I put some matte black eyeshadow by Grimas on top of the black liner.

If you feel like you didn't put enough of eyeshadow in the crease feel free to add some. I did.

Line your lower lash line and lower water line with a black pencil liner, add some matte black eyeshadow to set it. I have some Dusk and NYX's Black bean in there as well.

Take a skin colored eyeshadow to clean up and blend the outlines and possible mess you made! I sure did.

Make sure your eyebrows are strong and clean looking. Add a highlight of choice below your brows. I used Grimas' matte offwhite.

Add some mascara to both upper and lower lashes.
