Simple Pastel Makeup Look

Hello everyone! Recently I created a makeup look based around a few of my favourite pastel colours and thought that it would interesting to share. Pastel colours are great for summer and for those who enjoy colour, so what better way than to incorporate these into a makeup look! 

For this look I used minimal products and focused on the Mediterranean eyeshadow palette by Sleek.

1.) After applying foundation, concealer & powder as your base, select your eyeshadow to begin the eyes (my main pastel colours include a mint green and lilac.)

2.) Begin by applying the mint green to the inner half of the eye up until the eye crease.

3.) Select a shimmery lilac and place the eyeshadow onto the outer half of the lid, making sure you carefully blend the two colours with a fluffy brush. Also use the fluffy brush to blend the edges of the eyeshadow to soften the edges of colour.

4.) In order to create greater depth, apply more of the lilac colour into the eye crease as this will provide the illusion of deeper sockets and a more interesting look. After that apply your favourite black eye liner to neaten the look and create contrast.

5.) Next apply your favourite mascara, select a rosy pink blush and add a pink lip. You can also fill in your brows to neaten up the overall look and frame your face.

I hope that you enjoyed this simple tutorial :) What pastel colours are your favourite?

Tropical Colour Pop!

Hey everyone! 

As the sun has started to peak out amongst the clouds, I chose to experiment with some bright colourful eye shadows inspired solely from one of my summer tops.

 (The top I was inspired from)

(For this look all colours used were from the "Sleek - Mediterranean Palette.") 

• Begin by applying your chosen moisturiser, primer (optional), foundation and concealer as your base.

• Eyes - I started by applying a lime green eyeshadow to the first third of the lid.

• I then blended into the eye crease lightly an orange eye shadow, making sure the edges appeared soft.

• To add dramatic definition I then applied a hot pink eyeshadow to outer corners of the eye, and blended well into the orange and parts of the green.

• To darken the lower lash line slightly I added a purple eyeshadow and also blended some of this into the pink on the outer corner to create even more depth. 

• To finish the eye look I added a matte cream colour to my brow bone, to help brighten the area and also neaten the eyeshadow edges.

• Next I chose to line my top lash line with a liquid eyeliner and darkened the bottom lash line slightly with an eyeliner pencil.

• To help frame my face I then filled in my brows with "Benefits - Brow Zings."

• To finish off I applied mascara, patted on a pink cream blusher and added some coral gloss to the lips.

Golden Shimmer

Hello everyone!

The weather recently over the last week has been absolutely gorgeous, allowing the ability to sunbathe in your garden and also go to the beach with your friends and have plenty of delicious BBQ feasts! Yum!

This is the view from where I'm sitting at the moment whilst writing this post, and straight afterwards I plan to bask in the sun and paint my nails :}

With Summer practically here, I enjoy experimenting with brighter colours and gorgeous shimmers across the eye with coral glosses and daring shades of lipstick. Today I chose to have a shimmery gold and green eye look with a pearly shade to highlight my inner corner and a dark brown to line my upper lash line. I chose to finish the look with coral lips (using my favourite coral lipgloss - spiked punch by Benefit) and lightly dusted coral cheeks. 

Hope you enjoyed & happy sunbathing :}
