The Halo Eye Makeup | Navy and Rose Gold|

Hello Beautiful,

I finally tried the halo eye makeup after being inspired by Kathleen Lights and Jaclyn Hill! Although it looked very hard to do at first but I have to say I really enjoyed doing it. 
This would look beautiful for a night out, weddings and even prom or graduation party! You can totally switch up the colors, sticking to the same technique used here of course. Dark colors in the corners and a light bright color in the middle, you can even go all matte or all shimmer but make sure to use the shimmer in the center if you wanna work with mattes and shimmers. 

Okay so let's get started with this tutorial. 






Products Used:


  • L.A. Girl Pro Concealer - Creamy Beige.
  • e.l.f Mineral Eye Primer.
  • LORAC Pro 2 Palette (Buff, Lt. Brown, Nectar, Snow, Navy and Rose) 
  • Color Studio Professional Hypno Black Eye Marker.
  • Jordana Best Lash Extreme Mascara.
  • NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil - Milk.
  • Artmatic Lashes
Tools Used:
  • Morphe Brushes Blending Brush MB23.
  • e.l.f Blending Brush.
  • e.l.f Shader Brush.
  • A pencil Brush.
Steps:
  1. After applying a thin layer of concealer and blending it, I primed my lids with the eye primer and set the whole area with Buff from the palette to get rid of the tackiness.
  2. Taking Nectar on MB23, I blended it in the crease keeping it below the brow-bone, from the outer corner to the inner corner. I went in with the shade a few times to build up the intensity.
  3. With a small shader brush I patted on Navy on the inner and outer corners and blended it in the crease with Lt. Brown with an e.l.f blending brush. 
  4. I patted on the Navy shade again to intensify the color.
  5. With a little bit of Nectar on MB23 I blended around the edges to get rid of any harsh lines and for a more blended and diffused look.
  6. With a flat shader brush I patted on Rose in the center and blended the edges into the Navy shade.
  7. With a pencil brush I smoked the lower lash line with Navy and patted Rose in the center.
  8. I decided to apply a winged liner and used Color Studio Eye Marker for that.
  9. After highlighting my brow-bone and inner corners with Snow and Buff, I lined my water line with NYX Milk and coated my lashes with two coats of mascara.
  10. I decided to put on fake lashes and that really made the whole look more glamorous.



I really like the pop of Rose Gold on Navy. You can definitely skip the winged eye liner but remember to tight-line your upper lash line to make your lashes look fuller. If you use fake lashes with this look, I'll suggest you to go over the band and upper lash liner with a thin eye-liner so that the band of the lashes blends in with the eye-liner.
Also I'm in love with the amazing pigmentation of LORAC 2! I now need to get more LORAC palettes *_*
I also did this makeup look on Snapchat too so if you want to see more makeup looks, swatches and short reviews, follow me at Snapchat (gulexehra).

Until next time, Good Luck and Ciao!

Champagne Eyes with Bold Lips | Makeup Look

Hello Beautiful!

So I decided to do a Makeup Look using my first Mac Lipstick - Diva. It is such a beautiful Burgundy shade with Red undertones. I kept the eyes simple for the lips to be the focus. Let's begin with the tutorial. 



Products Used:

Face:
I skipped foundation and used the concealer on the high points of my face, also I kept my face matte and the only glow/sheen that came was from the Blusher.

Tools Used:
  • L.A. Girl Pro Concealer - Creamy Beige.
  • Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Peach Glow.
  • LORAC Pro 2 Palette - Buff, Snow, Lt. Brown, Cool Gray, Beige)
  • Color Studio Professional Hypno Black Eye Marker.
  • Jordana Best Lash Extreme Mascara.
  • Rimmel - Exaggerate Eye Definer - In The Nude.
Tools Used:
  • Morphe Brushes Blending Brush MB23.
  • e.l.f Blending Brush.
  • e.l.f Shader Brush.
  • A pencil Brush.

Lips:
  • MAC Lipstick - Diva

Steps:

Eyes:
  1. After prepping my eyes with concealer and setting them with powder, I blended the Lt. Brown shade in my crease and above it making sure I don't take it up to my brow-bone. 
  2. I buffed in the Cool Gray shade on the outer corner of my eyes and into my crease. Make sure you don't take it above the crease, keep it nice and precise in the crease.
  3. I packed in the shade beige on to the the lid focusing it more in the inner part and blending it with the Cool Grey on the outer corner of my eyes.
  4. With Snow layered over Buff, I highlighted the brow bone and the inner corners.
  5. I went over my crease again with Lt. brown to blend everything so there were no harsh lines.
  6. After applying the winged eye-liner, I lined my lower lash line with cool grey and smoked it out a little with Lt. Brown.
  7. I lined my water line with the Nude Eye pencil and applied the mascara to my lashes. Two coats for the upper lash and one for the bottom.
  8. After finishing the eyes I wiped the under eye area with a makeup removing wipe and moved on to the face makeup.

Face:
  1. I kept my face very simple for this look. No foundation and no contouring.
  2. After moisturizing with my favorite L'oreal Hydra Total, I only used a concealer under my eyes (in a triangle shape), in the middle of my forehead, bridge of the nose and little on the chin. With a damp Real Techniques Sponge I blended it in tapping motion and set it immediately with the pressed powder.
  3. With Stay Matte, I lightly powdered the rest of my face.
  4. For Blush, I used Luminoso focusing it more on the apple of my cheeks and blending it back.
Lips: 
  1. I applied two layers of Mac Diva on already moisturized lips. I recommend lining your lips with a lip pencil or brush first so the application is neat.


So there's the final look. Luminoso paired up beautifully with the dark bold lip. I love how Diva looks on me, it looks slightly darker than in the pictures here. Also the necklace is from Urban Chic - I love this chunky statement necklace.

I hope you liked this look, I'm planning to start doing spring Makeup looks. I also upload tutorials on my Snapchat (gulexehra) so make sure you follow me there. If you have any suggestion for a makeup look, leave it down below.

How do you pair up your bold lipsticks?

Until next time, Good Luck and Ciao!
