Gemini

I finally did the Gemini look for my Zodiac series. :) It turned out very colorful which is how I see the Gemini's I know.
When I think of Gemini I think of two elements that are each others reflection and that is the concept that this look is based upon. The colors I've chosen fit in together in a way that makes it hard to realize that the eyes are different, which makes it possible to wear this look outside even though it is highly special. :)

Since the eyes are different I decided to take a lot more pics of this look than I usually do. Phew!

And to put a little gothic twist on it just add a black lip. ;)

Hope all you Gemini out there like this look. :) Next look will probably be Scorpio, but I have some other non-Zodiac looks planned before that.

Thank you so much for reading and hope to see you soon!

Neutral glam!

I realized that it was a while ago I posted a tutorial so I thought I'd do it now. :) Hot pink, ravishing red or electric blue might be wonderful colors but they are certainly not for everyone. This is a look for people who love glittery glam but wants to wear it with neutral shades. Hope you like it!

I figured out some tricks that worked when taking pictures of glitter so here you have some sparkly pics. :)

The glitter I used here is a glitter liner from Viva la Diva (I think it's called Disco).

Since this is a neutral glam look I figured a neutral lipstick would be best. You can use a lipgloss if you like, preferably one with glitter in. ;)
I rarely use rouge on myself but here I have used Make Up Stores Wonderblush in Cleopatra.

Now on to the tutorial.

Step 1. Primer! :D

Step 2. I accidentally erased steps 2 and 3 so I will have to explain them to you without pictures *gasp*. First, apply an eyeshadow (or face powder) in the same shade as your skintone or slightly lighter over your lid area, up to the crease. Then pick up some medium brown eyeshadow on a pencil brush and cut your crease. After that, take a dark brown and place it along the inner edge of the medium brown cut-crease, to add more depth.

Step 3. Line your upper and lower waterline with black eyeliner pencil/gel liner. In the outer corner, continue the waterline upwards to create a little flick.

Step 4. Begin in your inner corner and line your upper lash line. Connect it with the flick we created in step three. :)

Step 5. Fill in the gaps of the liner. Apply mascara and fill in your eyebrows.

Step 6. Apply falsies to your upper and lower lash lines. I used Ardell #105 (upper) and #108 (lower).

Step 7. Apply glitter to your lid.

I hope that this tutorial has been helpful for you! Thank you so much for reading and hope to see you soon! :)

Burlesque

This is a look that I did ages ago (ok, it might have been two weeks ago actually...) but I just haven't felt like posting it until now.
I used mainly Makeup Geek eyeshadows Burlesque and Bitten for this look.

This is my new favorite combination of eyelahses; Ardell #115 on the top and #108 on the bottom lash line.

I drew in the brows with a dark brown eyeliner pencil and then set them with Makeup Geek's Mocha eyeshadow so that they wouldn't smudge too much.

These top lashes (Ardell #115) are very heavy and make my eyes feel rather sleepy after a while. Does anyone else experience this problem while wearing heavy thick, long lashes? 

A neutral lipstick suits this eye-makeup very good, although I'm sure black lips would look great too. ;)

Tomorrow I will be posting a review on the Makeup Geek gel liners that arrived in the mail yesterday. *Squeal of excitement* It will be a loooong post I suspect, so that's why I made this one so short.

Thank you so much for reading! :)
