Back to School Quick Look

Hey Beauties,

So its that time of the year for some of us. Returning to School/College/Tafe/University/Whatever it is your doing, and although some schools started 2 weeks ago, I thought right now was a good time to put the tutorial up as I believe Universities go back next week? Anyway. I came up with this quick look which probably took me around 5-7 minutes to do. Cause lets face it. When it comes to school, we don't want to go all out with fake eyelashes, dramatic eyes, heavy foundation, bronzer, blush and highlighter (Well you might, I don't) because whats the point? We all have to be awake and ready by 7:30/8:00 and who is a morning person? I certainly am not. Anyway, enough blabbing, heres the look:

For the face I applied Maybelline's Dream Pure BB Cream with 2% Salicylic Acid. I find that this is easy to apply with just your fingers so you don't need too much fiddling around. And it has a rather decent amount of coverage too. Another option is a tinted moisturizer.

On my eyes I went for pretty neutral, matte shades. In my crease I applied Natural Collection's Milk Chocolate which is pretty similar to cocoa powder and I think its the most perfect crease colour ever. I bought this at the op shop brand new, but I'm pretty sure you can buy it on ebay too. On my lid I have Rimmel's Matte shade in 'Dusk'. Now the name doesn't even represent the colour, because when I think of dusk I think of either a pink or a periwinkle but thats just me. Then for mascara, you can choose to use black if its the only one you have, but I had mistakenly purchased Maybelline's Mega Plush mascara in Brownish Black and I seriously don't mind it. I just use it for more toned down looks.

On the lips, you don't want anything too in your face. I think a soft raspberry would be fine, but nothing too POW LOOK AT ME COLOUR BOOM if you catch my drift. So I am using Rimmel's Nude Pink (Shade 206?) which is basically a nude pink with shimmers in it.

If you don't want to have a shimmery lip colour, here are some more options:

Essence - Natural Beauty/All About Cupcake (Very similar shades, one lasts longer and is more matte)
Face of Australia Glossy Crayon's
Face of Australia - Nude Satin

Now this part is completely up to you, but you can apply bronzer/blush if you want. I'd say though its best to only apply the slightest amount as you don't want to look too cake faced at school. The aim for this look is natural remember?

I hope you all enjoyed this look and it gave you some ideas!

Bright and Fun Valentines Day Look!

Hey Beauties,

With Valentines Day...less than nine hours away (I think? I can't count for crap) I thought it was the right time to whip up a little tutorial for you all. I came up with 3 ideas in the beginning, but the other 2 ideas didn't really show up that well on camera, which sucks so bad. Because they were really pretty.

So in the end I decided to upload this one.Which is a very pink, bright and fun look. Not suited for everyday wear, but something you can wear to a party, or something. I quite like coming up with bright looks, so expect t have alot more coming your way.

For the look I used:

Face:
Revlon Colorstay Whipped Foundation - I forget what shade, I think it starts with a D?
Revlon Colorstay Concealer - Lightest Shade
Revlon Undereye Concealer - Lightest Shade
Mineral Glow Finishing Powder - Ivory (?)
Blush - Unsure of name as its brand new and I had only used it this one time

Eyes:
Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk
BYS Neons Palette - Neon Pink - Inner Corner
Essence Single Eyeshadow 'Shrimp Me Up' - Outter Corner
Natural Collection Single Eyeshadow - Milk Chocolate - Crease
LA Colors 50 Eyeshadow Palette - Hot Pink - lightly crease

Brows:
I do not fill in my brows, as you can tell they are naturally thick, and I have tried on several occasions to fill them in, and it just does not suit, it makes me look angry in the face, and I just prefer not to have them filled in.

Lips:
Rimmel - ?

Way more crazy looks coming your way! If there is a certain look you want me to try and re-create, comment below.

3 Ways To Wear Gunmetal.

Hey Beauties.

If you have the Naked 1 Palette, you have the shade 'Gunmetal' in there. Its a shimmery blackish grey eyeshadow with alot of sparkle.

And if your like me, you must ask yourself this question all the time.

"How the eff do I wear this?"

So. I've challenged myself to create 3 eyeshadow looks using this shade.

Creation One:

  I like to call this look the 'Casual Black Eye' - Because thats really all it is. All I did was place gunmetal all over my lid, and used a matte black (I used Blackout) in my crease.

Creation 2:

 'Dramatic Smokey Eye' - Yes I used no eyeliner or mascara in this look, heck, I don't even have foundation on because I was at home all day and I was not putting makeup on just to take photos of my eyes. But for this look I used Nyx's Pots and Pans Jumbo pencil as a base, Sugarpill's Tiara on top, Gunmetal in the outter v and Blackout in the crease.

Creation 3:

 The 'All Natural'...I think I might even wear this tomorrow...Hmph - Anyway, on the lid is Half Baked, with Gunmetal in the outter v and a mixture of hustle and creep in the crease.


I hope these looks gave you some idea on how you could rock gunmetal. It has really made me love the shade a whole lot more.

Keep Smiling,

Maybelline Sapphire Siren Tutorial

Hey Beauties,

I recently bought this quad from Chemist Warehouse's 50% off cosmetics deal, as I had been eyeing this for the longest time. I always swatch it instore, and I had to buy it while it was on sale.

This post was originally going to be a New Years Eve look as I felt it was appropriate to wear for then, but you can always tone down the look for a more natural look.

The quad contains 4 very pigmented shades, from white, light blue, dark blue and a glittery black.

Keep reading to see how I got the look!

I started out with using Peacock by Nyx as the base, then applied the light blue colour all over my lid. Following with the dark blue in the crease and the black in the outter v and I dragged it onto my lower lash line for a more dramatic look. I finished it with putting the white on my inner corner and adding a Color Whisper in Who Wore It Red-er to my lips!

I can see myself reaching for this palette on the colder days if I want a pop of colour to my eyes. I'm really pleased with this quad and will possibly be buying more from this line.

Well done again Maybelline for making me very pleased!

Keep Smiling

Maybelline GRWM

Hey Beauties,

I really don't know what to call this blog, but its basically a get ready with me, using only Maybelline products. I recorded a youtube video for this which you can watch right here:

I'm trying to get back into the habit of recording youtube videos. My videos will range from Beauty and Fashion to just general random crap! My friend Emmy has convinced me to do it again, so I am! The video is not the best as I just use a little hand held camera, and I use WMM to edit. I have Sony Vegas Pro, but it takes up to 5 hours to upload from there so I'm still working it out. Subscribe to my channel for more upcoming videos!

For this look, the Maybelline products I used were;
Dream Pure BB Cream for Oily Skin, Eyeshadow Quad in Enchanted Forest, Colour Tattoo in Barely Branded, Master Precise pencil Liner, Hyper Glossy Liquid Liner, Babylips,Colour Sensational Lipstick in Berry Beautiful and I think that is all. (This is all from memory)

This is the completed look. I actually use this look everyday and I didn't notice I used Maybelline Products on a daily basis haha.

Make sure you watch the video to see how I achieved the look. The video is patchy, and the volume isn't great (it was better in editing) but we all can't be perfect.

I'll see you guys tomorrow night with my next post, My Christmas Wishlist.

Keep smiling.

GRWM: Neutral Eyes

Hey Beauties,

So I know I said in my last post, that I'd be doing a review/tutorial on the Maybelline Color Tattoo's, but, I haven't gotten around to actually doing that, but it will be up this Sunday. Promise.

So instead, I've made a Get Ready With Me post. Today was a fairly laid back day. I went out for lunch and basically came back home. So I didn't want my look to be too dramatic.

This was my overall look for the day. Darker crease, lighter lid. And a light coverage foundation too.

To achieve this look I used; Essence (I have forgot the name of it) Mascara, Chi Chi 'Nudes' Palette, Be Flawless BB Cream, Glow Cosmetics Powder, Essence Blush in Babydoll, Babylips (Not sure what one) and Essence Trend Edition Lipstick in Natural Beauty. I also used Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Barely Branded (Not pictured)

For the look I started out with the fourth shade in the Chi Chi palette and rocked it in and above my crease. I then took the golden shade next to it and placed it in the crease, lightly applying. I then applied Barely Branded to my lid and topped that off with the first shade in the Chi Chi palette to set it. I then thought it needed a little something else, so I added a slightly darker colour to the outer v. I then applied my mascara, curling my eyelashes first and went and applied the rest of my face.

I always do my eyes before I apply my foundation, just incase I have fall out or if I have the shakes, because accidents happen and its easier to clean up if the foundation isn't done yet.

This is a closer look at the eyes. I love how its so neutral and very wearable and it was rather easy to do as well, and didn't take up much time at all.

Before you say below "You're eyebrows aren't done!" I am aware. I do not fill in my eyebrows due to the fact that they are already thick. I've tried on several occasions to fill them in, but it just doesn't suit me. It makes me look angry and I just don't love it.

I also do not wear bronzer because I am very pale and I have had an experience in the past where bronzing has made me look like I have had a bad tan.

I know I've done alot of ranting but I had to say it. Overall I really loved this look and it was exactly what I wanted.

I hope you guys enjoyed this GRWM, I think I will continue doing these every Thursday.

Hope you had a lovely day, and don't forget to keep smiling.

xo brontie.
