There haven´t been a make-up look related post for a very long time, so I decided to share with you the eye make-up I wore yesterday.
Yesterday I wasn´t in the mood of dressing up in elegant clothing, so I went for jeans, plain T-shirt and wedge trainers. But I didn´t want my make-up to be as simple as my clothing was so I went for smokey eye look adding a little bit of chrome eyeshadow. And of course I also wanted to add a little shimmer to it to brighten up my eyes.
I haven´t worn a similiar look for a very long time, but I enjoyed wearing it very much.
Here is the look:

When I am taking pics and making my eye make-up, which I know will be published on my blog I everytime mess up something. For example I noticed that my eye liner is not as perfect as I wanted it to be and also the pics don´t show the reality, the eyeshadow was much more pigmented in real than on the pics. I definitely have to find the most suitable light for taking photos for my blog.
Products:
1. Pupa Professionals Smoothing and Fixing Eye Primer
2. Avon Glimmerstick Diamonds in Black Eyes
3. Gosh 22 Colours Eye Shadow Palette
4. Catrice Pure Chrome eye shadow in Treasure It (part of their spectaculART collection)
4. Astor 24h Perfect Stay Gel Eye Liner
5. Pupa Vamp! Mascara
6. L´oreal False Lash Wings mascara
The way I created the look:
At first I applied eye primer to conceal the redness and smooth out the skin on my eyes.
Then took the eye shadow palette and applied colour no. 1 onto my whole eye lid and colour no. 3 under my eye brow to lighten it up.
Then took the Catrice eyeshadow and applied it onto my outer corner.
Then took a conture brush from e.l.f. cosmetics and applied colour no. 2 into the crease.
After I done these steps, to brighten up my inner corner of the eye and the inner part of my lower lash line I took colour no.1 and applied it with a tiny eye shadow brush.
Then I took a clean blending brush and blended the colours on my outer corner together.
As I am a huge eye liner addict I took my Astor gel liner, draw a thin line. Defined my lower lash line by using Avon eye pencil. Applied Pupa Vamp! onto my lower lash line and L´oreal False Lash wings mascara on my upper lashes.
And the look was ready :)
Nothing too complicated, but nothing very simple and ordinary (I mean, it does not belong to the cathegory of "everyday make-up)
And a little extra for today, I´ve never posted a picture of myself but wanted to show you that the eye shadow is much more pigmented than it seems on the previous pictures:
I hope you enjoyed reading todays post!
