I love a nice brown eye more than anything!

And I now I have a new way that I do this beautiful look.

Also to clear this up, I have had very horrible skin lately, and I do not like heavy Foundations as it makes the issue worse in my personal case, so these problems will still be slightly visible through my Foundation.

1

I first used a concealer over my lids and under the eyes. I used a slightly lighter tone than my skin to highlight under the eye, which was also pink based to help cancel out my bags under my eyes. I did not set this with powder as I will be using a cream product on my lids.

I have now contoured through the crease of my eye, I used MAC Espresso eye shadow for this.

5

To set the lid and add more of a pop of colour, I used a brown pigment over the lids

6

I then applied my Mascara lightly for a more natural lash. Just used what you are more comfortable with, but I used Maybelline Define a Lash Mascara.

7

I then highlighted roughly on the top of my cheeks and the apples of my cheeks. I was only rough with this as I use cream highlighter under my foundation. I used the Australis Highlights in Pearl.

8

I have now applied my foundation. I stippled my foundation on for a more flawless finish.

9

I then set my foundation with my Kett Cosmetics Translucent Powder

10

I have now used my Face of Australia Contour & Highlight Kit in Glamazon to Contour below my cheeks, and add a bit more Highlight to my cheeks, cupids bow and nose. I have also contoured down the sides of my nose.

11

I have also used a nice coral coloured blush on my cheeks

12

To finish off, I have used my Essence Lipstick in 08 Colour Crush to add a nice pop of pink. I normally don't wear pink lipsticks but have quite enjoyed this lipstick.

I hope you have enjoyed this look.

Would you wear something similar or the same?

Yesterday I picked up the Maybelline Color Tattoo's.

I got the colours 20 Painted Purple, 25 Bad to the Bronze and 40 Tenacious Teal.

When purchasing in store, I was really disappointed with my local Priceline.

All the swatches had dried up, and because of that, I purchase because of colours that "looked nice" and I will explain why in a minute, why I was disappointed.

I love the packaging kind of. I have found a lot of the packaging labels were very off center, more so the ones on the bottom, which I did not take a photo of, oops. This is really due to mass production. I hate it though, as a blogger, products I love and blog about, I want to showcase them at their best. No biggy, but I do love they fact they are glass pots.

I love these a fair bit as eye shadow bases or just alone. Once it's on, it's set and doesn't budge.

Yesterday, I walked down the street with it, and with the minor sweat, no budging. Even removal with eye makeup remover was a bit hard to make it budge.

I was really really happy with my brown and blue colour, BUT I wish I had the chance to swatch the purple in real life properly. I love the shimmery-ness in these, which is half the reason I got them. I will be using them as a lid colour.

If you follow me on Instagram, then you would of seen that a couple days ago I brought these Face of Australia Duo's for $9.95 each from Priceline. I got suckered in by the packaging. Now I wish I hadn't.

I was looking more for Retail Blushes and Contours as I really don't own many from Retail lines.

I have like one Revlon Blush, and an Australis and Revlon Highlighter. That's it.

When I seen these, I loved the packaging, and the colours looked great in the pan.

The pink one, was a pink I wouldn't normally choose, and I brought the contour as I normally just don't contour but I want to start trying it again.

Out of the two, I am really disappointed in this duo.

Personally, with my skin colour, there isn't much colour pay off.

I was really not happy. The formulation is great, it is very smooth, and doesn't smell weird or overly potent, but I am extremely not happy about the colour.

I think this one would be better with fairer skin tones. Not tan or dark.

Contour and Highlight Kit

Leopardess is a lot better than Minx.

Not overly pigmentented but a lot better than the blush and highlight duo.

This is perfect for the beginner who is learning contour or just for a light contour.

With the highlight, I love it! The highlight in Leopardess almost compensates for the lack of pigmentation in both of the duo's. So smooth in application, and reflects light very well. I am really happy with the Leopardess Duo.
