Romantic Siren

Hey Beauties!

A few days ago I got a wonderful package from Avon cosmetics - see here. As soon as I got my hands on their Supershock Vivid Liquid Eye Shadows I had an idea to use them in this look. The look was inspired by Kiko's Limited Edition called Midnight Siren. I wanted to use liquid eye shadows to create hypnotizing inviting gaze that sirens should embody. Sirens are mythological beings of the sea. They were said to be beautiful and lured nearby sailors with their music and voices to shipwreck. I find that very interesting and a great idea to recreate for masquerade or Halloween events, if you want to go with something more subtle and romantic. 

I always say that my makeup looks are simple, but this really is. Anyone can do this, no excuses.


I used 7 shades of Avon Supershock Vivid Liquid Eye Shadows. You can use cream eyeshadows or just go with metallic or shimmery powder eyeshadows. It's more about the shades, although I love the metallic effect of these liquid ones. 

I started by applying stark blue silver shadow into the inner corner of the eye. I added light pink a bit more towards the lid. Then I used dark violet in the first part of the lid and left some space in the center. I moved on to the outer part of the eye and used emerald green. I also connected it to the bottom lash line. Then I used gold based olive green in the center. I also added a bit of burgundy shade in the crease to connect dark violet and emerald. I used the same shades on the bottom. 

I didn't really blend these out, because I wanted to keep the intensity. The whole look is more like a painting technique and it's just a lot of shades with metallic finish put on one lid. The messier the better in my opinion. 


I skipped the liner. Instead I used fluttery long natural false lashes and applied them close to the lash line. I put on some mascara and eyes are done. 


For the sake of this being a bit more shimmery and hypnotizing, I also used some nail rhinestones and glued them under the arch of the brows and around the outer corner of the eye. I also used one small one in the inner corner of the eye, to make them pop.  


I used the same liquid eyeshadows on my lips. First I used the emerald green one all over the lips. I also added stark blue silver in the very center of the eye, which created a little ombre. 

You can use cream eyeshadows or lipsticks and go over them with silver and blue powder eyeshadows.


On my face I used foundation, concealer and powder. I also used cream light gold highlighter and heavily highlighted cheeks, on top of brows, nose, Cupid's bow and chin. I went over it with silver powder eyeshadow to intensify it. I used blue shimmery powder eyeshadow to contour sides of my face and nose. I also went over contours and highlights with emerald and silver liquid eyeshadows. Just to get the same color all around the face. 






If you decided to recreate this, you can also wet your hair for a better effect. You can even use oil on your hair. It will give you the same wet effect plus you'll be giving yourself an oil mask for the whole evening - two in one.

Fairy of Gold

Hey Beauties!

I recently saw some pretty metal  gold leafs in one of the stores (Tedi) and after seeing Tatjana's photo of her Greek Goddess look, I needed to do something gold inspired. Halloween is closer and closer and I'm still getting some inspiration for pretty makeup looks, so I'll probably post some more this week.


I decided to call it Fairy of Gold for the obvious reasons. The look includes a lot of gold and sparkling gold leafs look like something that fairy would carry around. 

I started with my foundation, concealer and powder. Then I used orange based shimmery bronzer and heavily contoured all around my face. I used champagne shimmery highlighter and highlighted my cheeks, tops of cheeks, forehead, nose, Cupid's bow and chin. It's all about the glow with fairy.



On my eyes I started with matte light brown in the crease. After that I darkened the outer edge with matte dark brown. I used very shimmery gold copper eyeshadow all around the lid and in the inner corner of the eye.


With eyeliner I did a double wing and added some additional wing at the bottom of the eye. I also lined the lower lash line with black gel liner. Then I used gold metal leafs and glued them on the lid. It will give you crackled effect, but also a pop of light when you'll look down.


I also added some false lashes and mascara over the top. I filled in my brows as usual and then added some of the bronzed shimmery eyeliner as well as some gold sparkly eyeliner on tops of brow hair. 


I also used bronzed shimmery eyeliner to create some design at the sides of my eyes as well as on the forehead. The gold leafs were also added under the eyes on the cheeks. Underneath I also added some small gold shimmer. It's just a lot of shimmer in this look - go crazy. This is your ultimate highlight look. 



I also added some gold star in between my brows. On my lips I used a very pale peach liner. I went over it with peach lip balm and added small gold shimmer.





Being a highlighter freak you can imagine how happy I was with all that gold shimmer on me. It looks like a bathe in it and I'm not ashamed. This is definitely my kind of pretty masquerade or even Halloween party look.

Pretty Leopard Makeup

Hey Beauties!

I am known for subtle wearable makeup and even when I think of theatrical makeup like Halloween, I still do something that can be wearable without some element. If I’m being completely honest I don’t think I have enough experience to do anything super artistic, because I know I wouldn’t be happy with the results. I also love this area of creative makeup all over social platforms and there’s been one look that I really wanted to do for a while. As you may know, I love leopard print on anything. So, I decided to do a pretty version of leopard makeup. It’s again very wearable and for those that would like to fit in the Halloween party, but don’t want to wear loads of makeup and masks. 


I have to apologize first, because I did my makeup before I started doing this look, so I just cleaned some of it off and started playing around. It was spur of the moment thing.  I started by applying light matte brown shade in the crease and also a bit at the sides of the nose, under my brows. Then I deepened it with darker matte brown. I used shimmery bronze brown all over the lid.


In the inner corner I used gold shimmery shade and spread it towards the center of the lid. I helped myself with scotch tape and drew my liner with dark matte shade. Then I went over it with black gel liner. 


I used black matte shade to darken outer edge, crease and that part where my nose starts. On the lower lash line I already had copper brown shimmery shade. I used matte black shade to connect lower lash line with my winged liner. 


After that you would do mascara and add some false lashes. They still look pretty natural, but give you more volume. You can use pretty dramatic ones, because this look can take it. 



At the side of my face I added leopard print. I used black gel liner and drew on leopard spots. Then I used medium matte brown eyeshadow and lightly applied it in the center of those leopard spots. 


As for the base I used high coverage foundation and concealer. Then I powdered it. I used shimmery warm bronzer and used it heavily around the outer edges of my face. I also contoured a little with contouring palette. I also contoured my nose, to get a bit of definition for my wild cat look. In place of highlighter and blush I used very shimmery yellow gold highlighter to bring together all those gold and brown shades, which I used in this look. 


Oh I also did my brows the usual way and then used brow gel to try to brush them up, for a more wild effect. Unfortunately the effect is not as pretty as it would be with someone that has naturally bushy strong brows.  On my lips I used classic cool toned res lipstick. You can end makeup here and you have a pretty classic makeup with leopard spots. 




But then I also added black nose and a line from that nose to my lips. I also made little spots where whiskers should be.  Just a basic touch so that drunk people on the party, will get that you are in fact representing leopard. If a cute guy mistakes you for a cat you should forgive him.  You know, seize the opportunity. 

That’s it for my version of a pretty leopard makeup. It’s easy and very wearable. I think anyone can do this. You don’t have to be precise with spots and everything else is just a basic makeup look.
