Silver Glittery Winter Glam | Makeup Look

Hello Beautiful!

I recently asked all the lovely ladies what kind of "Winter" Makeup Look would they want me to do and some of you replied with a Silver eye look along with Winter Day Time/Neutral Looks, so I decided to do a more glam look before doing a day time look! 

I did a Silver glittery eye makeup and paired it up with a Muted Pink Lipstick. I usually do more warm eye looks but this time I did a cool-toned eye makeup as I felt it'll compliment the Silver more. Also I did a completely different foundation routine, for this look, than I usually do and it turned out pretty good!

As always I'll try to keep the steps precise!

Products Used:

Face:

• L'oreal Paris Hydra-Total 5 Ultra Hydrating Gel-Cream.
• Bourjois 123 Perfect Foundation in 53.
• Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Peach Glow.
• Masarrat Misbah Makeup - Stay on Blusher - Shell Bronze.
• Becca x Jaclyn Hill - Shimmering Skin Perfector - Pressed - Champagne Pop.
• Sleek Contour Kit - Light.

Tools Used:

• Real Techniques Blush Brush.
• e.l.f Studio Blush Brush.
• e.l.f. Kabuki Brush.
• Angled Contour Brush.

Eyes:

• Maybelline Fit Me Concealer - 15.
• Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Peach Glow.
• Makeup Revolution - Eyeshadow Palette- Iconic 2. [Dupe for Urban Decay's Naked 2]
• Christine - Glitter Pot - Silver.
• e.l.f Makeup Mist and Set.
• Color Studio Professional Hypno Black Eye Marker.
• NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil - Milk.
• Maybelline Rocket Volum'Express Mascara.

Tools Used:

• Morphe Brushes Blending Brush MB23.
• Color Studio Professional Blending Brush.
• e.l.f Shader Brush.
• A pencil Brush

Lips:

• Luscious Cosmetics Super Moisturizing Lipstick in Daisy Pink.

Steps:

Eyes:

1. After priming my eyes with Fit Me Concealer up to the brown-bone, I set it with the Pressed Powder.
2. For the transition color I blended in the 5th (from the Left) shade [UD Tease] with MB 23. I layered and blended this shade until I was happy with the intensity. I used it as a transition shade initially so kept it light and diffused.
3. With a denser blending brush like the Color Studio Blending Brush I buffed in the same shade into my crease and the outer corners, building up the color and blending the edges with MB23. I did it a few times until the edges were soft and diffused while my crease and outer corners were darker but blended. 
4. With a shader brush I applied the 9th (from the Left) shade [UD Verve] to my lids and further packed it with elf mist and set for that foiled look. Spray e.l.f Mist and Set on any shimmery or glittery eyeshadow to immediatey intensify the pigmentation.
5. With Color Studio Brush I blended the creases.
6. With a flat shader brush sprayed with Mist and Set, I picked up the Glitter from the pot and patted it on the center of the lids.
7.  (Okay Gul, enough with the with-s!) I lined my waterline with NYX Milk and smoked by lower lash line with the same crease shade with a pencil brush.
8. After applying a rather long winged-eyeliner, I coated my lashes using Maybelline The Rocket Mascara.
9. I also applied a bit of the Silver eyeshadow on inner corners of the lower lash line.

Face:

1. I mixed the moisturizer and foundation in 2:1 ratio and applied that all over my face and neck with my fingers. I wasn't able to use 123 Perfect in this season as it emphasized my dry patches but with this technique I loved the finish -comfortable and not completely matte on the face, rather it had a healthy looking glow.
2. I set my foundation lightly with pressed powder so that other powders (such as blusher & contour etc) could blend easily on top.
3. I contoured my face using the Sleek Palette with an Angled Brush.
4. I used my Holy Grail Blusher on my cheeks (duh) and highlighted the high points like the top of my cheeks, bridge of the nose and cupid's bow with Champagne Pop. It was hard to stop bathing in Champagne Pop!

Lips:

1. I had already prepped my lips with Rosebud Salve when I started with my eyes.
2. For lipstick I applied Daisy Pink by Luscious Cosmetics. It is such a beautiful everyday muted pink color! 

So here's the Silver Glittery Winter Glam Makeup Look! (and that was a mouthful!). I really like how the eye makeup turned out, it sparkled more than it has come out in the pictures. This is definitely a party/night out look but if this is Day Time for you then, well you know, you do you boo! I'll do a more Day Time/Natural Winter look in a week's time.

I would love to see how you recreate this and don't forget to share it with me with the hash-tag #gulezehrasblog! Also tag me in your Winter Makeup Looks!! I would love to see what you talented ladies come up with!

Lips

• Luscious Cosmetics Ultra Smooth Lip Liner in Chai Latte.
• Luscious Cosmetics Super Moisturizing Lipstick in Daisy Pink.

Steps:

Eyes:

1. After priming my eyes I set them with Stay Matte Pressed Powder so that rest of the eyeshadows can blend easily.
2. With Morphe MB23 I blended Salted Caramel as my transition color, on and above my crease.
3. With e.l.f blending brush which is smaller than the Morphe one, I blended Caramelized into my crease. With MB23 I blended the two colors together.
4.  I blended Creme Brule on the outer corners of my eyes, with an angled blending brush, and took it into my crease and blended everything again with MB23.
5. On Color Studio Blending Brush I packed and blended Triple Fudge on the outer part of my eyes.
6. I blended my crease again with a little Salted Caramel on MB23.
7. I used Champagne Truffle with a little Fix Plus to highlight the brow-bone area.
8. With the shader brush I packed the Inglot Pigment on to my lids and blended it into the Triple Fudge. To make the pigment adhere to my lid I used it with Fix plus.
9. On my lower lash line, I blended Caramelized with a pencil brush and lined my water-line with Milk.
10. After creating a winged-eyeliner I coated my lashes, first with Telescopic and then with The Rocket Mascara.
11. I finished the eye makeup with the Glitter Liner on the inner part of my lid and a little on my inner corners (be careful with that though, it irritated my eyes as I put it too close to my inner rim and so I had to clean it therefore it looks a little untidy).

Face:

1. After moisturizing my face I primed it with the Poreless Primer concentrating and patting it near my nose and on nose and spreading the rest all over my face.
2. I buffed in my foundation with the Buffing Brush.and set it with Rimmel Stay matte Powder.
3. For my blush I used Milani's Luminoso with Real Technique's Blush Brush. It's such a gorgeous shade! I used it for the first time!!
4. Highlighted my cheekbones with Hollywood Boulevard and applied a little on the bridge of my nose (but not the tip of the nose).
5. At the very end I sprayed the Skindinavia Makeup Finishing Spray!

Lips:

1. I lined my Lips with Chai Latte and filled them in a little.
2. For Lipstick I used Daisy Pink by Luscious Cosmetics. It's such a beautiful muted pink.

 To make the makeup last all night I used the e.l.f's Poreless Primer at the beginning and finished th whole look with a spray of Skindinavia Makeup Finishing Spray. This combination has made my makeup last through all the weddings this month!

So here's the final look! I really love how it turned out with the sparkly eyes and the muted pink lips. You can definitely use more glitter on the lower lash line, I didn't because for some reason my eyes were very sensitive that day also I did a look recently where I lined my lower lash line with glitter. You can check that here. That is even perfect for New Year, if you don't want a lot of Glitter. Definitely check my Quick Holiday Look!

Anyway, I hope you like this look. I definitely loved it! The eyes were so sparkly!! Let me know what you plan to do on the New Year's eve and don't forget to share your Makeup Looks with me using #gulezehrasblog.

A Quick Holiday'15 Look !

Hello Beautiful!

Here's a last minute quick Holiday Look with a little sparkle and a bright Red pout. Aren't Reds all the rage this Holiday season? I feel you can never go wrong with a Red Lipstick (given you choose the right one with the right undertone for you). A Red Lipstick makes one look put together and classy instantly and it doesn't really require a lot of eye makeup too!
I know I'm late for a Holiday look but not too late yeah? That's why this is a last - minute makeup look that you can totally rock this Holiday!
Now for me anyhting quick or last minute doesn't involve foundation and contouring, therefore I haven't used foundation or contour but you can totally use a BB Cream or even a foundation if you like, you do you boo! 

If you do recreate this look, don't forget to share it with me using the hashtag #gulezehrasblog

Products Used:

Face:

• L'oreal Paris Hydra-Total 5 Ultra Hydrating Gel-Cream.
• Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in 15. 
• Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Peach Glow.
• Makeup Revolution Powder Blusher in Sugar.
• Wet n Wild Fergie Shimmer Palette in Hollywood Boulevard.

Tools Used:

• Real Techniques Blush Brush.
• e.l.f Studio Blush Brush.
• e.l.f. Kabuki Brush.

Eyes:

• L. A. Girl Pro Concealer in Creamy Beige.
• Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Peach Glow.
• Morphe Brushes Individual Eye Shadow in Caramelized and Creme Brule.
• Wet n Wild Fergie Shimmer Palette in Hollywood Boulevard.
• Maybelline Colossal Kajal in Black.
• Maybelline Rocket Volum'Express Mascara.
• L'oreal Paris Telescopic Mascara - Carbon Black.
• Sweet Face Sparkling Eye Liner in 10. (You can use ANY glitter eyeliner. I used this because it was locally available).

Tools Used:

• Morphe Brushes Blending Brush MB23.
• e.l.f. Blending Brush.
• A pencil Brush
• An Angled Blending Brush
• e.l.f Angled Eye Liner Brush

Lips:

• Luscious Cosmetics Ultra Smooth Lip Liner - Ruby
• Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick - Lady Red

Steps:

Eyes:

• After priming my eyes with the Creamy Beige concealer (up to my brows and near the lower lash-line), I set it with Stay Matte Powder so that rest of the eyeshadows can blend easily.
• With Caramelized, as a transition color, on the MB23 brush I blended it well in my crease and took it a little higher. Blended it well from the outer corner to the inner corners of my eyes.
• With Creme Brule on an Angled Blending Brush I patted it in the outer corners of my eyes and took it into my crease blending it well.
• Again with a little Caramelized on MB23 I blended the two colors together so there are no harsh lines.
• I highlighted my brow-bone and inner corners with Holly Wood Boulevard.
• After lining my upper lids with Colossal Kajal, I smudged it with an Angled Eyeliner Brush and created a soft wing.
• For the Holiday sparkle I lined my lower lash line with two coats of Glitter Eyeliner.
• At the end applied a coat of Rocket Mascara and topped it with Telescopic Mascara.

Face:

• After moisturizing my face I applied the concealer under my eyes and blended it in with my ring finger with a tapping motion.
• I set the concealer with Stay Matte Powder and dust it lightly all over my face.
• For blush I used Sugar and highlighted my cheek bones with Holly Wood Boulevard.

Lips:

• I lined and filled in my lips with the Lip Liner in Ruby.
• Finished the whole look with two swipes of Lady Red on my lips.

I have no idea why my neck looks so different in tone than my face although it matched fine. Maybe because of the lighting because I had nothing but a light dust of Stay Matte Pressed Powder on my face and neck. Well, that's the Holiday Look. The steps for eyes might seem long but they don't take long when you're actually doing the eye makeup. The smudged eyeliner can be skipped altogether and you can also use just one mascara that provides both length and volume. 

I hope you like this quick, last minute makeup look. Let me know how you plan to spend your Holidays and don't forget to share your makeup looks with me by using the hashtag #gulezehrasblog. I'll be doing Winter looks very soon too!

Until next time, Good Luck and Ciao!
