Glitter Eyes - Party/Festival Look

Today i thought i would expand my horizons i try something different, a middle ground between a bold editorial look and a neutral look.
I have tried to create a very wearable face with a twist by adding glitter; Glitter is sometimes seen as a very unwearable thing, though i think here by adding it subtially it really adds a hint of fun, perfect for parties and festivals.


I prepped the eyes and skin with primers 
(Eyes Nars - eye prime/Skin Smash Box - Photo Ready)
I Started the makeup with eyes first as i knew there would be fall out from the glitter. 

I applied a base of Esste Lauder - Enchanted Berries all over the lid, 
then blended Mac - Shale into the outer corners and along the lash line, 
I blended all of this out with Mac - Esspresso 
(By adding the brown shade it automatically creates a more wearable look)


I Used these glitterpots from 'Super Style' i took the silver 3D glitter onto a flat conceler brush which i applied 
'Duo Lash Adisive' to, and took this ontop of the lid.

I then highlighted the inner corner of the eye with 
Mac - Vanilla Paintpot (also took this onto the cheek bones) and the brow bone with a Matte Cream Shadow from Lancome 

i took Mac - Carbon Shadow along the lashline and blended it out with the Shale eyeshadow to live a soft gradient.

I used L'oreal Telescopic Mascara to give long black lashes 

On the brows i used Omega from Mac and fixed them with a Brow gel from Natral Collection. 

  I opted for a Bold lip which i drew inspiration from 'Estee Lauder Vivid Shine Visual'.

•Illamasqua Skin Base, Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer

I lightly sculpted the face with a contoring powder from Calvin Klein
and applied Peach blush from Revlon 





Hope you liked this look

A JULY HAUL!


 SHOPPING!!! 
HAII!, Well this time next week i shall be hopefully on a beach!! This last month  i have done a spot of shopping in order to cater for my holiday needs.
Makeup has taken a back seat this month, as it has simply been to hot to wear any sort of foundation etc, so i havnt gone crazy on cosmetic purchases; though i have steadily  been building up my accessory collection in order to jazz up a simple shorts and tee outfit.
I apologise that not all the images are my own as i am getting posts up before i go away and not all items have been delivered yet.



CLOTHES.
i went to the Trafford Centre (AKA land of dreams) i could happily spend my life in there no joke.
I browsed round Selfridges etc but shockingly nothing caught my eye and i found that Topshop and Zara had some right gems!
