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)

Makeup Look Compilation

So this is just a compilation of random makeup looks that I have done from a year ago. I can't remember what I used exactly, but I can give you a rough idea of what was done. Hope you enjoy this fun post!:)

POISON IVY EYE MAKEUP
I don't celebrate Halloween, but I always find it extremely tempting to dress up in those costumes. I'm definitely too cheap to buy a Halloween Costume for one-time-use, but I decided I could at least do a makeup look for my "would-be" costume if I could dress up. I believe it was that year I had seen a photo of Kim Kardashian in a Poison Ivy costume, and immediately I thought of the eye look I would do on myself if I dressed up as Poison Ivy.

  

ELECTRIC EYE MAKEUP

I have no clue why I want to call this eye look electric. But for some reason the glitter just strikes me with the word 'electric'. So I guess this will be called the electric eye look until my brain comes up with something better. Here I added a red eye shadow to my outer crease, blue all over the lid, and blended the two colors together by adding a dark purple in the inner crease. I finished with lining my lash-line with silver glitter and black liner. 

PRETTY IN PINK
Here is very wearable look for those that don't like eye makeup that is too "loud". It's a very pretty pink look and can be worn by anyone! The method used here is to blend the pink eye shadows only on you outer and inner crease, adding darker pinks/purples to your inner crease for added depth. Keep the base of you eyelid simple with a light pastel pink color.

 

EDGEY IN COPPER 

Here I incorporated a copper-toned and metallic orange eye shadow in the outer crease. I also added definition with a dark coffee brown in the crease. The look is edgy, but versatile because you can go from a nude lip, to something more dark and vibrant without looking too over-the-top. 

PROFILE PHOTO

This is the same look that is on my profile photo. It's just a very light blue-grey, with a darker grey in the crease. I also added a beige eye shadow to the entire lid prior to adding the blue-grey eyes shadow. 

RANDOM COLOR, RANDOM DESIGN

Just a random design I decided to do for fun. I think the image shows exactly what colors were used, and the layout of them pretty well so I don't think I'll explain any details :). 

SILVER AND BLACK WITH A TIST

This is just a common eye color combination of silver on the entire lid, and black on the outer V. However I added some copper and gold to the upper crease to make the look more unique. 

SIMPLICITY IN GOLD 
South Asian clothing is usually accompanied with a bold, bright basic color, and some heavy gold or silver embroidery on top. This look is great for those who have a bright suit with gold embroidery, they can play up the lip with a loud color, and still get away with adding this eye color because of it's simplicity.

SILVER SMOKEY EYE
This is the incredibly common color combination of silver and black, joined together with the same shade, or varying brightness, and blended to avoid any harsh lines.

CUT-CREASE With Gold

This is a cut-crease look where instead of using a matte skin-toned eye shadow all over the lid. I chose to use gold all over the lid. I then added black to my crease, and blended the edges up with a soft rust color. 

 That's it for now!

Hope you enjoyed it :)
