Colourful & Dramatic Everyday Look!

Hey! 

Just thought I'd throw this up here, this would be what my everyday make up would look like! I know, I know, it's a little out there and a little too much for everyday wear but that's just what I'm into. What can I say, I'm weird. 

Anyway, I'll put a full list of products used below the picture and a rough guide to how I did it! 

Please forgive how absolutely terrified my eye looks in this picture, it was early!

My inspiration for this look sort of came off the new Coldplay &Rihanna song "Princess of China". 

In a part of it, Rihanna's eye make up shows off a red edge and a blue wing. I just went with it from there. 

The colours are pretty vibrant and that's how I always like my eye make up to be and though I understand that maybe something so... out there... would not be everyone's cup of tea so I promise to put up some neutral but semi dramatic everyday make up looks too! 

In this look I used: 

• Essence white eyeliner. (As a base & on waterline). 
• Catrice Kohl Kajal eye liner pencil in blue. (For the under eye). 
• NYX [Yellow] "81 Chick". 
• NYX [Orange] "68 Golden Orange".
• NYX [Red] "109 Sunrise".
• Inglot [Blue] Eye Shadow Matte 322.
• Essence "I love style" Liquid eyeliner in black. 
• Max Factor Masterpiece Mascara. 

I always use white eyeliner as a base for any eye shadow look I'm doing. It's cheap (€1.50) it lasts me about a month and most importantly it works! It gives something for the eye shadow to stick to while also making any colour you use way more vibrant. 

White eyeliner is a good and cheap way out of buying really expensive eye shadow primer. Although in some cases, eye shadow primer can be the way to go if you want it to be super subtle. 

Tips:

• I found it easier to get the shape I wanted by starting from the under eye area. I just lined under the waterline and drew out, it gave me the shape that my eye goes without having to cross my fingers and hope that it's symmetrical. 
• When applying the top shadows, I started with the red and got the shape I wanted, then I went for the orange then yellow. This way I could blend them into each other getting the shades how I wanted them.
• Over all, the look is seriously overwhelming. So I used white eyeliner on my water line to make my eyes seem a little more open and less smothered under all the colours. This is also a helpful thing if you're doing black eye shadow. I would always use white eyeliner on my waterline! 

 Feel free to interpret this in whatever way you want, make the colours more subtle, make them more crazy. Your choice! I hope it helped! 

See yah!
