Spring/Summer Makeup Look With A Pop of Color

Hello Beautiful!

I know super late on this Spring Makeup Look as we are nearing, well, almost in Summers but let's just assume Summer starts for me from June, shall we? Thanks! :D
This look however is perfect for Summer with the over all fresh peachy bronzy look and a pop of Teal on the eyes. So let me put "Summer" right there in the title; okay done. Let's move on to how I achieved this look.

Products Used:

Face:

• e.l.f Poreless Primer
• Bourjois - 123 Perfect Foundation - 52
• Rimmel - Stay Matte Pressed Powder - Peach Glow
• Sleek - Contour Palette - Light
• NYX - Powder Blush - Pinched
• Becca x Jaclyn Hill - Champagne Pop

Eyes:

• L.A. Girl Pro Concealer - Creamy Beige
• Rimmel - Stay Matte Pressed Powder - Peach Glow
• Too Faced - Chocolate Bar 
• e.l.f - Baked Eyeshadow - Toasted
• OFRA - Blush Strips - Illuminating 
• Masarrat Makeup - Eye Varnish - Azul
• Morphe Brushes - Individual Eye Shadow - B.A.M
• NYX - Jumbo Pencil - Milk
• Maybelline - Colossal Kajal
• Kryolan - Cake Eyeliner - Black
• Jordana Best Lash Extreme Mascara.

Steps:

Eyes:

1. After priming my eyes (lids and up to the brow bone) with the concealer, I set it with a pressed powder.
2. For my crease and transition color I blended in Salted Caramel from Chocolate Bar palette and highlighted the brow bone with White Chocolate.
3. On a smaller blending brush, I took Milk Chocolate from Chocolate Bar and blended it on the outer corners of my eyes and also took it a little in the crease but mostly concentrating on the outer corners.
4. I darkened the outer corners a little with Semi Sweet from Chocolate Bar and highlighted the brow bone and inner corners with the pearly white strip from the OFRA Blush Strip.
5. I patted on Toasted on my lids and blended the whole look again to get rid of any harsh lines.
6. To brighten my waterline, I used NYX Milk and tight-lined the upper lash line with Maybelline Kajal.
7. On my lower lash line, I packed on Azul with an angled brush and layered B.A.M on top to give it more of a green tinge. I layered Azul back on top to intensify the color and then smoked it out a little with Salted Caramel on a pencil brush.
8. I decided to do a small wing for the eye look to keep it day time appropriate and fresh looking and finished the eye makeup with two coats of Mascara on my upper and lower lashes.

Face:

1. I primed my face with the poreless primer and blended in my foundation using Real Techniques sponge.
2. To set my face, I used my trusted Stay Matte Pressed Powder and lightly dusted it all over my face, with a Kabuki Brush.
3. I decided to contour my face lightly and used Sleek Palette for that with a fluffy angled brush, for a soft contour.
4. For Blush I used Pinched by NYX and highlighted my cheek bones with Champagne Pop which for some odd reason didn't show in pictures but otherwise it gave the most amazing glow!
5. I set the whole face with Skindinavia Oil Free Makeup Finishing Spray to keep all of it locked and fresh looking in this hot and humid weather.

I really like how it turned out, specially how smokey the outer corners of my eyes looked against the highlighted inner corners giving it a beautiful shape. For a more night time appropriate look you can definitely pair it up with a brighter lipstick, a bright pink would compliment the eyes so much and it'll look perfect for Spring. Also, you can switch the white in the waterline to a black to make it look more smokey and sultry.

Let me know what lip color would you wear with a look like this and don't forget to share your looks with me using the hash-tag #gulezehrasblog.

Until next time, Good Luck and Ciao!

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!
