Autumn Party Eyes

So I was playing around with my Mac palette and came up with this autumn night out look, hope you like it :)

Products Used:
Illamasqua Eyebrow Cake - Gaze
Urban Decay Primer Potion
Mac Eye shadows - Blanc Type, Mythology, Cork, Naked Lunch
Matte Black from Sleek Storm Palette
Illamasqua Precision Ink - Abyss
Chanel Water proof kohl liner - Black
Rimmel Scandal eyes Mascara - Black
Kiss False Lashes

1. Outline eyebrows then fill in with an angled brush.
2. Apply primer all over the eye lid.
3. Apply Blanc Type to the brow bone for a highlight.
4. Apply Mythology to the lid and blend the edges.
5. Apply matte black eyeshadow to the outer corner of the eye and blend using a fluffy brush with Cork eyeshadow.
6. Continue to apply black and blend out until you get the intensity you want.
7. Apply naked lunch to the tear duct area.
8. Take the matte black under the lash line then apply black kohl liner to the water line.
9. Apply liquid liner to the upper lash line and wing out.
10. Apply mascara to top and bottom lashes and then apply false lashes to complete the look :)

This is a quick and simple look I'd wear to a party or a night out, to make it more wearable change the matte black to a brown, use a brown kohl liner such as Mac Teddy and remove the false lashes.

I have a question for you guys, I'm having a hard time getting good pictures if my make-up. They just never seem to show how it looks in person, any tips?

MAKE-UP LOOK: Plum Smokey Eye Using Illamasqua Kit

For those of you who seen my Illamasqua Kit post and were interested to see how the products were I thought I'd do a full make-up look using Illamasqua products from the kit where I could, enjoy :)

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.

Products used:

Illamasqua Hydra Veil

Illamasqua Skin Base 08

Collection Concealer - Medium

Rimmel Stay Matte Setting Powder - Translucent

Sleek Contour Kit - Medium

Illamasqua Blush - Tremble

Illamasqua Complement Palette

Illamasqua Precision Ink - Abyss

Mac Kohl Liner - Smolder

Illamasqua Eyebrow Cake - Gaze

Illamasqua Lipstick - Test 

Illamasqua Lip gloss - Intimacy

Maybelline Falsies Mascara 

Kiss Haute Couture False Lashes

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.

What are your favourite Illamasqua products?
