Pretty Peacock Eyes using E.L.F Cosmetics

Without a doubt Peacocks are the prettiest in the animal kingdom and my second fav animal after elephants! Yes that's right elephants.

Seeing as all the latest fashion and beauty trends are slightly animal inspired I decided to create some pretty Peacock eyes using the free gift I got with my E.L.F cosmetics order. I was slightly worried at what the quality would be like on this clutch palette but I can assure you it is up to Simderella standards! I have quite dark eyes and the colours covered extremely well with a medium/high pigment. I would definitely recommend e.l.f for their products and their make up brushes. All of the ones I have used have been perfect for what I have needed them for and they're a bargain starting at £1.50. You can see which ones I purchased here.

The set contains 32 eye shadows, 2 blushers, 1 bronzer, face shimmer, eyebrow powder, eyebrow cream and various lipglosses! 

Anyway here is what I managed, I'm not going to lie I did do a bit of googling and found a good YouTube tutorial to follow as a rough guide!

                                      

 And here is another design I had a play around with.

*I used all the colours from my clutch palette, e.l.f gel cream liner and Dior Show Iconic mascara.

Anywho what do you think? They're not wearable but still pretty as a Peacock. Has anyone else tried to create a similar look?

Angel Eyes

This weekend was a showcase of my creativity! I baked a cake, did someone's make-up, and watched some fireworks. Nope, I didn't brave it and stand around in the cold. I sat warm and snugly in a car which had the perfect view of three different firework displays going on! 

I've never really done anyone's makeup before - only a few times at uni. I've always been interested in doing make-up and especially how make-up artists can make such a big difference to the way we feel (let's not lie it feels great when someone else is doing your face). 


So when I had a model it was a great opportunity to experiment (After I cleaned up all the fallen eye shadow from around her face that is).


 So here are her angel eyes! I've realised the trick to getting eyes looking perfect is mixing and blending as many different colours you can! I did gold's and a pink smoky eye

I used a variety of different makeup brands ranging from Clarins, MAC Cosmetics, Estee Lauder & Bare Minerals. 

What I'm mega impressed about is that I did her top eye-liner and got it quite even to!

So what do you think? Would you ever let me loose to create eyes of an angel on you?
