Gold/Black EOTD

Alrighty. It's been a while and my excuse is that I am absolutely knackered from this makeup class I am doing. The really good news however is that I am learning lots of things and I want to share them with you. I think a brush post explaining what brush goes where and does what and perhaps a how to - fake lashes are in order. I can show you basic contouring if that is something you might be interested in as well. I'm just starting my fourth week and am absolutely loving it all.

This is one if my older looks and I thought I should get them all out of the way before I start showing you the new stuff. I think the difference you will see in technique will be quite noticeable.

Anywho, in this look I used Too Faced Shadow Insurance and MAC Paintpot in Painterly for my base. Used MAC pigment Naked as an all over highlight and brow bone colour. I used...I know I wrote the shadows down...somewhere. Crap. I have no idea what I used. Ok, I used a gold shadow which I think was a Shiro one although I can't remember precisely what shade, on the inner half of the lid and under the eye and blended it out to another glittery black shadow. Another Shiro shade, I am sure. If you think you can help me with these, I would much appreciate it.

Liquid liner on the top lash line and pencil liner on the waterline. Mascara to finish it off and we are done! I find it really hard to blend from such a light colour to a dark one so what I do is kind of use a wigging motion where there colours meet with the brushes I used to apply the colour to blend them in so that you don't end up with a solid block of colour.

Ok, that's it from me today. I'll be back tomorrow with another look which I probably won't be able to find my notes for again. I have my new giveaway starting on Friday. I am giving away two amazing shades from the Bloom Pure Minerals Collection.

Be awesome to each other.
