Brown Glam Eyeshadow Look

Hey my lovelies, I hope you're all well and are having a good day wherever you are in the world.

Today I have an eyeshadow look, it's a brown, shimmer, glam night look. I wore this look Saturday 29th, as I went to my local pub for a Halloween Party. I wasn't dressing up for Halloween, I wanted to look glam not scary so I thought this look would be perfect.

I used one eyeshadow palette for this look and that is the I Heart Chocolate Palette from the brand I Heart Make-Up which is a sister brand of Make-Up Revolution. This palette is basically a dupe of the Two Faced Chocolate Bar Palette, and a good one at that, it even has a slight scent of chocolate.

First off I started with my base that will prime to make the eyeshadow give its best colour pay off, last longer and apply smooth for the base I used Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer and then Rimmel Stay Matte Translucent Powder to set.

I always start with a transition shade that I apply just above my crease and in my crease, the shade I used for that is Thank Friday, I find it the perfect for the transition shade, then in my crease just below the first shade I applied the shade pleasure girl. I then applied my lid shade which is You Need More, to make this shade more intense on my lid I sprayed some setting spray on my eyeshadow brush then picked up the colour on the brush. To deepen crease, inner corner and outer V of my eye I used the shade Stolen Chocolate on a small pencil brush. Then I got the shade Pleasure girl again and applied it in my crease, which helps to blend all the shades together and then I get the first shade Thank friday and go over the part where I first applied this shade to make sure the eyeshadow transitions from light to dark outside, in. Then for my brow bone I used You Need Love which is a matte cream shadow, and this highlights that area. For my bottom lash line I used Thank Friday first, then Pleasure Girl over top with You Need More focused in the very middle.

I then did winged eyeliner with the Revlon Colour Stay Liquid Eye Pen and applied my mascara the Maybelline Lash Sensational. I was running low on my mascara so my lashes weren't as black and coated as I'd like them to be, and as I went heavy with the shadows I needed my lashes to be big so I use false ones which was the Ardell Wispies. My lipstick I used was the Sleep Matte Me Lip Cream in the shade Velvet Slipper, I'm obsessed with this colour!

I hope you like this eyeshadow look, its a very easy but pretty glam look and I love it. Did you dress up for Halloween? If you did what did you dress up as?

Make-Up Revolution Ultra 32 Palette Review

Hey my lovelies, I hope you're all well and are having a good day wherever you are in the world.

I have reviewed 3 of the Make-Up Revolution Ultra 32 Eyeshadow Palettes. I bought these almost a year ago now, and I find myself reaching for these the most out of all my palettes so now I'm back to blogging, I feel these palettes deserve a review post. There are 8 palettes in this range and I got the Flawless, Flawless Mattes and Beyond  Flawless palettes, they're priced at £8 each.

The actual palette packaging itself is very sturdy, sleek, black and glossy which I find it looks very professional and looks more expensive than what it actually is. And with it being glossy, the palette wouldn't get very messy and grubby looking as it's easily wiped away which is good. It also comes with a big mirror, that's always a must with an eyeshadow palette. The only thing I wish it did have was the names of the shades printed underneath each shadow, it does come with a plastic protective sheet on top with all the names on but that is easily lost which annoys me but that doesn't matter that much.

The Flawless and Beyond Flawless palettes have a range of mattes, shimmer and glitter shades, the Flawless and Flawless Matte palettes have all the same shades, except one is all matte (duh!) and the other one has a mix of mattes, shimmers and glitters. They're perfect every day palettes, that can make from neutral eye shadow looks to dramatic eye shadow looks, the Beyond Flawless palette is slightly different with more of a selection of golds, burgundy and purple shades.

Make-Up Revolution is one of, well literally my favourite drugstore brand for make-up, especially when it comes to their eye shadows! They never fail to amaze me with their palettes, they're always so consistent and nicely impressive, especially with the prices of them. They're so inexpensive, I mean 32 great quality shadows for only £8, how can you not love them?!

The shadows themselves are very buttery to touch, nicely pigmented, little fall out, very easy to apply and are quite long lasting. Obviously they're not as rich and pigmented as high-end brands such as Urban Decay, Anastasia Beverley Hills etc. but for a Drugstore brand they're most definitely one of the best quality when it comes to eye shadows.

So if your on a small-ish budget and are looking for a decent palette with a wide range of shadow shades and textures then trust me these Ultra 32 Eye Shadow Palettes by Make-Up Revolution would be perfect, I would 110% recommend these palettes for everyone. And I'm hoping to get the remaining 5 palettes from this range to add to my collection.

(Top palette - Flawless Mattes. Middle palette - Flawless. Bottom Palette - Beyond Flawless)

I hope you enjoyed this post, and I hope it was helpful for you in someway. Please leave a comment or contact me on my social media if you have any questions or requests. Thank you. MWAH.

Shimmery Purple Eyeshadow Look

Hey my lovelies, I hope you're all well and are having a good day wherever you are in the world. I have another eye shadow look for you, my 2nd one as I've been exploring and being more daring with trying more eye shadow looks that aren't just champagnes and browns.

This look I experimented with is my favorite color and also is a color that makes green eyes POP, which I have greens eye but for some reason in photos with flash or where there's a lot of light my eyes look blue, it's really bizarre but I can definitely confirm my eyes are green haha. I tend to wear this look on the weekends when I'm working, to make it more fun and makes it look like I've put more effort in on my appearance as during the week I can be lazy and just wear mascara and eyeliner on my water line.

I used 1 palette for this look which is the Revolution Ultimate Eye Shadow Collection, it has 144 shadows that are a mix of matte and shimmer, from nudes, bronzes and bright colors. I find this palette is great for the price, the color pay off is nicely pigmented for a palette this cheap in price.

First up I used a matte champagne color for a base color all over my eyelid, this helps the other colors blend easier and show up more. Then I used a brick red/brown shade for my transition color just above my crease, this helps with the main eye shadow color not being such a hard block color and makes all the eye shadow look more put together. For my crease color I used a dark brown, and then a black for the outer V of my eyes. Now onto the purple, I first used a matte bright purple mixed with a matte dark purple and put that all over my eye lids, and on top of that I dampened my eye shadow brush and got a shimmery purple and applied it on top of where I put the previous matte purples, this helps deepen the color and builds it up to look nicer. I find when using a shimmer color as the main color of my eye shadow look that dampening the brush makes it more pigmented. After I've done all that I like to grab a clean fluffy eye shadow brush a make sure all the harsh edges are blended. And lastly to finish the eye look I apply a shimmer champagne color for my inner corner to brighten that area and make me look more awake.

I hope you like this eye shadow look that I purely created because I wanted a nice purple shadow look and this is what I came up with after playing around. If you recreate this look on yourself then please do leave a comment below linking me to your picture or post, or contact me on my social medias with a picture.
