Soft Brown Smokey Eyes with berry pink lips : Makeup Look

Hi dolls! Today I'm back with another makeup look. This particular makeup look has been my favourite and I even had this makeup look during the 2015 Birthday Bash! I love how easy it is to create and how soft but defined the eye makeup is. For this makeup look, I did not play with a lot of colors. Why go through all the hassle when you can create a beautiful eye makeup while keeping it minimal? The attention of this makeup look has to be on the eyes but personally I think, everything else was on balance as well. The eyebrows, cheeks and lips!

I started off with my day cream and I went ahead and put my concealer. Since I have finished my Maybelline's concealer, I am currently using Cosmetic Collection Lasting Perfection concealer in code 2, Cool Medium. I will do a separate review on this concealer, alright ladies? I then continued with my eyebrows and I am sorry because I did not include my eyebrow pencil in the photo. Before I did my eyeshadows, I put on a bit of eye primer. I used the Essence eye primer and this has been serving me quite a while now. Blend that out and onto the eyeshadows!

For the eyeshadows, I started off by contouring my eyes and I used the Sleek Contouring Kit for this along with my Pencil brush from Zoeva.  I wanted a warm brown color and the contouring color in this kit was perfect! To add more definition to the eyes, I used a single eyeshadow from Elianto which is a darker brown shade and for that I used my blending brush from Barbara Holfmann.  I used that color at the outer corner of my eyes, I didn't drag it out too much. I ensured that the color didn't stray too much and I kept it on the eyelids only. For the darker brown shade, I didn't go as high as the first color. I kept it only at the outer corner of my eyes and blend it out. If you wanna use this look for a night makeup look, take a lil bit of black eyeshadow and blend it out at the outer corner of your eyes. It will give a more bold look. :) I took the highlighting powder from the same kit and pat it on the center of my eyelids. For this, I used my ring finger because it was so much easier! Took my Zoeva Smudger brush and with the darker brown eyeshadow, I lined my lower lashline only 3/4 of it. To finish off the eye makeup, I drew my eyeliner thinly just to give more defined look.

To seal everything up, I used my Matte Loose powder from Essence. For this, I used my powder brush from Holika Holika and swiped it across ma face! To give off a more softer look, I used a lil bit of blush and I used In2it blush in Tempt.  Now, the last part would be the lips! I primed my lips with the Kelyane HD lipbalm that I got in Arab Saudi. I don't think this is sold in Malaysia but you may use whatever lipbalm that you have. Let that sit for a while and I continued with lining my lips with Elianto's lipliner in Tomato Coral. Love this so very much! In other days, I would just use this lipliner as my lipstick! I finished it off by applying a thin layer of Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream in San Paulo. That's pretty much about my most recent favourite makeup look! And by the way, all the photos for this post are edited. It's because I want the eye makeup to look better and clearer.

The products used!

What do you think about this look ladies? Tell me about it!

Until next post, stay tuned beauties!

Sleek Face Contour Kit : Review

Hello dolls! Today's post will be on a review. Now, who doesn't love a review on products especially makeups? *grins. Okay, I have had this product for quite some time and I have also used it for couple of times. The product that I'm going to review today is the Face Contour Kit by Sleek Makeup in Light 884. I have always wanted a face contour kit and when I saw this on Luxola, I knew I had to get it. I believe this kit is retailed at myr54 ish but I got it when it was on sale. :)

Sleek products are all so sleek looking. Quite a genius for using Sleek as their brand name aite? Just like their other palettes, this contour kit has nothing unusual design to it. It comes in all black case with Sleek Makeup printed on it. All black except for the ingredients of the product at the back of the case, those are in white fonts. I have nothing against the packaging, love love love it! Except that it gets stained easily but that doesn't matter, it doesn't bother me that much. This product weighs 14g and I'm not pretty sure whether that's a lot of product or what but to me, it is. Considering that I don't go around every day contouring my face, I believe this will last me a long time. :)

This kit has two parts to it. The contouring powder and the highlighting powder. I got myself the lightest kit of this product since I have fair skin. I was contemplating whether to get the Light or Medium kit but I ended up with the Light 884. This kit also comes with a mirror just like the usual compact powder! That's a bonus point for Sleek Makeup! Tho I hardly use the mirror but one can never tell when one needs a mirror, right? :) It doesn't come with any applicator but that's cool because I use my Real Techniques's Contouring brush to apply this!

Now, onto the main thing which is the product itself. The contouring powder has matte finish to it and yes I laaavvv it! I use this to contour my cheeks, nose and sometimes as the transition color when I do my eye makeup. The highlighting powder has shimmery finish to it. But then again, of course it does since that's what highlighting powder needs to do. I also use the highlighting powder to highlight the inner corner of my eyes and under my brow bones apart from the usual task which is to highlight your cheeks and the bridge of your nose! I have no complaints so far regarding this face contour kit!

With flash on!

Without flash!

Dolls, I would not say this is the best face contour kit in town but for an affordable product, it does great job so far! I believe you cannot get this in any drugstore or Sephora. You can get it from Luxola.com Any purchase above myr40 is free postage! Here are some photos on the product and swatches of it!

Until next post, stay tuned beauties!
