Please Note: Unfortunately this post was one of the blogs (pre.28th of July 2014) that suffered a 'Blogger' crash.. which saw all images vanishing! I have tried to replace the images from the crash as best as I can. However images of me with products etc.. may be lost as a result and therefore the images you see may not match the text(which is original and was not effected by the crash). My blog has therefore had to start fresh and all blogs starting from July 29th 2014 are correct with the appropriate, original and correct images but unfortunately the same can not be said for images lost in posts before this date. Apologies for any inconvenience caused. Shahira xo
Hey Blog Readers!
For the record I am not saying I look like Kim Kardashian I am simply trying to recreate her look, for tutorial purpose, using a variety of make-up brands from high-end to low-end, something for everyone!
The look on the cover is a brown/black, extremely smokey, smokey-eye with a heavy contour and nude lip.
Here's what I came-up with...
Product List
- Youngblood mineral primer.
- Youngblood liquid mineral foundation in 'sunkissed'
- NYX eye-brow push-up bra.
- Kid by Mac (eyeshadow)
- Embark by Mac (eyeshadow)
- Half baked by Urban Decay (Naked 1 Eyeshadow palette)
- Maybeline age rewind concealer.
- Harmony by Mac (dark blush used to contour).
- VaniT mineral blush.
- Youngblood 'twilight-lunar dust' as highlighter.
- Catrice Khol liner.
- The GIANT extreme volume mascara by Catrice.
- Kiss envy eye-lashes: diva 02
- Mineral Rice Setting powder by Youngblood in 'medium'.
- wipes and qtips essential for this look! I used "water wipes" (more info below)
Water Wipes
Water wipes are an effective, extremely handy, way to remove make-up or clean-up fall-out when applying make-up. They are sensitive facial wipes which, unlike alternative wipes, DON'T DRY OUT YOUR SKIN!! (HORRAYY :) lol). They are also fragrance and alcohol free so they're not harsh on your skin, won't cause blemishes and there's no stingy feeling after use! Finally a useful facial wipe! pop in your bag and away you go!
NYX eyebrow 'push-up bra'!
This NYX product is new to me! The dual-tipped Eyebrow "Push-Up Bra", called that because of how it’s supposed to lift brows is set to shape, define and highlight your eyebrows! what's different about this pencil is the dark side (for filling in) is designed in a universal colour and actually contains fragments of glitter... 'what?'.. crazy I know! but don't worry the glitter is sheer and barely noticeable, but it truly does helps to create a more lifted and arched brow effect, while still remaining natural! you could say it tricks the eye ;)
It's a taupe colour with silver glitter and because of how sheer the pigment is it takes several layers to adequately fill in. In other words, if you’re a fill-and-go girl, this may not be ideal(unless you have light hair, unlike me, then you could create desired effect quickly.. darker hair will take more time). As I didn't have much time for this tutorial to concentrate on my brows I decided to use the pencil to shape and lift my brows and then I quickly went over it with some dark shadow and an angle brush-this meant I had the perfect shape before beginning with some shadow(which can be messy) and the pencil acted as a primer and gel for the shadow. However if I had more time, especially for a day time look, I would only use the pencil and create a perfectly arched natural looking, highlighted brow with just the pencil (which I intend on doing so watch this space). One advantage, however, of sheer pencils like this one is control. Lighter layers mean having more control over how light/dark you go!
The highlighter side is creamy and well pigmented - it is beautiful and reminds me of Benefit's High Brow lifting pencil! so this pencil is a bargain from NYX!
Apparently this product has been flying off the shelves and selling out and I can definitely see why!
Incase anyone is wondering the nails that I was wearing in the tutorial are Impress nails in a mulberry colour
They can be seen here on Nicole Scherzinger who is the face of impress nails
They are super-handy and come in a large variety of block colours and patterns
