Silver Dust Eye Look

So lately there has been little to no motivation in doing

extravagant makeup since I'm now nearing 8 months and this baby just loves to kick at my bladder.

I swear I go to the washroom at least five times in a single hour! So obviously, no ability to keep my wudu till the next prayer. But Alas!... makeup is my love (even if it means washing it off after a short while) and today I got inspired by a beautiful abaya and lots of free time :P

I bought a grey abaya that I will be selling soon. The abaya has beautiful grey embroidery up the sleeves and down the sides. There are also small black stones on the abaya that glitter under light. The abaya itself is an umbrella/princess cut which allows gives it a very graceful fall. All of this info combined made me want to create the following eye look....

Here are pictures of the work on the abaya. (I'll have more pictures of the abaya on my next post as I am intending to sell it In shaa Allah).

EYES:
1. Apply a white eye shadow base on the brow bone and all over the lid. I used NYX pencil in milk.
2. Apply a light gold eye shadow all over the lid. I used Midnight Cowgirl from Urban Decay (UD) palette
3. I then added the color Crystal from the UD palette in my crease and blended upwards.
4. To add further depth I went in with the color Hijack from the same palette. I used a pencil brush to keep the color concentrated, but blended afterwards to keep the edges soft.
5. I took a matte brown eye shadow from the Coastal Scents palette and used an angled brush to carefully place the brown shadow on my outer v and outer crease.
6. I kept blending and adding the brown shadow until I was happy with it's intensity.
7. I applied Midnight cowgirl on my brow bone, and also reapplied it to the center of my lid.
8. I also applied the brown shadow and the color hijack on my lower, outer lash line. I lined Midnight cowgirl on the inner lower lash line.
9. I then finished off with Mary Kay Ultimate mascara in black and Mac black track liner.




CHEEKS
1. I used a peachy/coral toned blush for my cheeks. (I have a pic of the blush here)
2. I also used a white highlight color on my cheeks. The highlighter I used specifically is NARS albatross.

FACE
1. Mac face/body moisturizer
2. Mary Kay luminous wear foundation in Beige 6
3. Mac Studio Fix powder in C4
4. NARS concealor in ginger.

LIPS
1. Yves Rocher Lip Liner in Nude Beige
2. Mac Sweet Ever After Prolongwear lipcreme
3. Clear gloss with gold flecks (optional)
