Recent Makeup Look: Pink Glitter & Black Smoke

As I mentioned in my previous post I have been trying out some new eye makeup looks which you may have seen on my Instagram. This one is my favourite, I've had this MAC pink glitter for a while now and had never put it to use but after trying it out for the first time I loved the outcome and its definitely a look I will be recreating for a night out.

*As you can see I'm not wearing false lashes as this was a practise run, if I was to wear this out I would add false lashes for a more dramatic finish.

This glitzy eye makeup is rather extravagant making it perfect for a night out or party. To create this look I started with an eye primer, as usual I used MAC 'Painterly' Paintpot. I then applied a small amount of fixing gel on my eyelids for the glitter to adhere, I used a small flat concealer brush to pick up the glitter and tapped off any excess product before applying to my lids, I repeated this process till my lids were completely and evenly covered with glitter. To warm up and define my eyes I applied MAC 'Soft Brown' eyeshadow in my eye sockets, this is also used as a transition colour to fade out dark colours so that they blend seamlessly. I then applied my favourite black eyeshadow, Urban Decay 'Blackout' in the outer corner of my eyes to create a winged out effect, I used this colour heavily in the outer V and then used a fluffy brush to lightly blend the colour out and fade towards the socket. I also took this black eyeshadow along my lower lash line to make my eyes look extra smokey. For my waterline I took a fine liner brush and spritzed it with MAC Fix + Spray then picked up some of the black eyeshadow, this is a great alternative for an eye pencil. To finish I used MAC Liquid Eyeliner to define my upper lash line and as always I highlighted my brow bone and inner corners with MAC 'Vanilla' pigment.
