Get the look! Autumn brown eyes

Hello! Todays look is based around the gorgeous autumn tones appearing all over the country. This look has a strong focus on the eyes, which are a mixture of browns, shimmers golds and oranges, enjoy!



Step 1:
I started off with a completely dry face, i removed all of my old makeup using the Garnier Micellar Water. I then moisturised my face with the Blue Lagoon moisturiser, to give my skin a glowy look underneath my foundation. When that had completely sunk in, i then primed my skin using my Maybelline Baby Skin Primer.


Step 2:
Next i applied my Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation all over my face using my Nanshy Flawless Foundation Brush. This foundation gives a gorgeous glowy look without looking oily at all, and honestly lasts all day! I brushed on my Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer under my eyes and set it with the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder.

I next filled in my eyebrows using my trusty Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in soft brown. I also cleaned up just underneath my brows with the same concealer just to give my brows a more defined crisp effect. 

I then applied the Urban Decay Primer Potion in original all over my lids to create a base for my eyeshadow. 

Skin and brows done!



Step 3:
This is where the look gets exciting! I love doing my eyes so much i feel that the eyes just make a look stand out! Using my Makeup Revolution Flawless Matte Palette i used a mixture of Burnt and Rust (two gorgeous oranges) through my crease as a transition shade. I then took Tease from my Urban Decay Naked 2 palette and ran that through the crease to darken it up. I applied MAC All That Glitters over the lid, and then ran Earth from the MUR palette through my crease again to just add some more effect. I also applied this under my lower lash line. 

I then winged my liner using the Anastasia Beverly Hills Waterproof Creme Colour in jet, and applied a coat of my Lash Sensational Mascara in Waterproof.



Step 4:
For the last steps of this look, i used my Artist of Makeup Cream Contour Stick in Medium to contour my skin and then my Makeup Revolution Contour Palette over the top to set it. I then topped off my cheek bones with the Mary Loumanizer Highlighter.





The finished look:








Thanks so much for reading! I enjoy posting these looks more than anything.

MAC: Amber x 9 Eyeshadow Palette

Hello! I have been facing a bit of a problem over the past couple of weeks; i cannot stop spending my money on MAC beauty products. It sounds silly but this is quickly becoming a big addiction and i am not willing to stop!



This Amber x 9 Eyeshadow Palette was released along with three other beautiful ones recently. They are small in size, which makes them amazing for travelling and contain 9 eyeshadows. In the UK these cost £30.00, which for 9 small shadows, is expensive. However, it is so worth it.

This amber palette is amazing for all eye colours. I have brown eyes, and picked this set personally because of the gorgeous golds, i feel that they really accentuate brown eyes and pick up all sorts of unusual colours within the eye.

I have seen various reviews saying these shadows are nowhere near as pigmented as regular MAC shadows, but with these being my first ones, i can say i'm impressed. Using a Nanshy eyeshadow brush i felt that enough colour was picked up to give a gentle sweep of colour, however a few more brush strokes back in the pan were needed to build up for a more intense look. The colours when used with a primer last nicely and remain matte/sparkly/creamy all day.
