The look is a very simple neutral face with a dark plum smokey eye. I liked this look a lot and really enjoyed using the Illamasqua products especially the foundation which made my skin look flawless, the eye shadows were a dream to blend and I LOVED the lipstick and gloss combo! I couldn't use all Illamasqua products as there were somethings not included in the kit so I substituted.

1. To prime the skin apply Illamasqua Hydra Veil and then with a buffing brush apply Illamasqua skin base for a flawless finish.
2. Apply the lightest colour in the Illamasqua Complement Palette in the inner corner of the eyelid then take the matte plum colour directly bellow and apply to the rest of the lid and blend the two colours together.
3. Take the darkest plum colour in the palette and apply to the outer corner of the eye and blend to create a smokey eye effect, keep applying and blending until you get the intensity that you want.
4. Using a small pencil brush take the darkest shade under the eye close to the lash line.
5. Apply Illamasqua Precision Ink to the top lash line and create a winged line.
6. Take Mac Smolder along the water line and tight line for a really dark look, smudge along the bottom lash line as well with a cotton bud.
7. Apply False lashes to finish the eyes.
8. There shouldn't be much fall out but if there is clean it up with a make-up wipe and then take Collection Concealer under the eyes and I used my buffing brush to blend this, then apply on to any blemishes and blend in with your finger lightly.
9. Use Rimmel Stay matte with a large powder brush to set the foundation and concealer.
10. Using your favourite brush for contour take the Sleek Contour Kit and apply under the cheek bones and to the temples, I then take a light dusting of the contour colour on a large powder brush over the rest of the face to blend everything together and to add a bit more colour to the face.
11. Apply Illamasqua Blusher in Tremble to the cheeks just above where you put the contour colour.
12. Fill in eyebrows using an angled brush and Illamasqua Eyebrow Cake in Gaze.
13. To finish off apply Illamasqua lipstick in Test and go over with their lip gloss in Intimacy.
