Cupids wings: classic valentines look

Hello! The day of love is slowly approaching and I was inspired by my favourite red lipstick from Bourjois called sweet kiss to do a valentines makeup look. As it's a very bright red I didn't want to go for much colour on the eye so I decided on a classic winged liner with a natural pink flushed cheek. So if you want to know how I created this look keep reading!

 

On my face

First I used Rimmel match perfection concealer in classic beige using this under my eyes and then taking it onto my lid to use as a primer. Over that using my Real techniques expert face brush I buffed match perfection foundation in soft beige on to my skin and then match perfection translucent  powder.

I used my Naked flushed palette bronzer to contour in the hollows of my cheeks and jaw line and then taking MAC coygirl blush I applied it to the apples of my cheeks just to give a light flushed look.

On my eyes

Using the light beige colour from my BH cosmetics 88 matte colour palette I've labelled "lid base" I put this all over my lid up to the crease then on top of this I used a darker beige from the same palette, I've labelled "lid colour" putting this over my lid again up to the crease and just making sure the two colours are blended together. Now taking a light brown colour I've labelled "crease" I'm using soft shoulder from Benefit I blended this into my crease. Then just going to the light beige colour again using this on the brow bone blending it all with a fluffy blending brush.

For the liner I used the one that came in my beauty kit from college It's just a black liquid liner so any liquid liner will work I know usually it's preference of what works best for you.

To do the wing I make a line going up from my bottom lash line and then a line going out from my top lash line then joining it up in a sharp point, Filling it in then in small stokes making a line along my top lash line towards the inner corner. I try not to keep touching it up till I apply my lashes as this usually makes the line thicker and thicker and before you know it half your eye is covered in the liquid liner! Next using my Emite lash curlers I curled my lashes and then applied 2 coats of my favourite Avon super shock mascara and last popped on my lashes which where the Eyelure pre-glued lashes.

 

 

 

On my lips

I lined my lips with Revlon colourstay lip liner in red and with a thin lip brush applied the Bourjois sweet kiss lipstick and went around my lips with the same Rimmel concealer I used under my eyes just to touch up any mistakes and to create a neater edge.

 

And voila your ready to go on your romantic valentines date!

Two looks one palette

Hi guys, I'm finally back blogging after a long time off! I've finally got my laptop fixed and I'm back with two eye looks from the Urban decay naked 2 palette. I'm a bit behind with the naked palettes as I got the naked 2 for Christmas just as the naked 3 came out but I thought I would still do a look with it as I'm sure many people still haven't got the naked 3like me. but the naked 3 is next on my wish list!

If you haven't got the naked 2 then similar colours in any other palette will work just as well.


      On the right eye a neutral everyday look and on the left eye a dark shimmery smokey eye.

 

 

On the left eye I used dainty doll eye shadow base 001 on my lid up to the crease then I used Rimmel glam eyes liquid eyeliner in 001 black glamour to make a line from my lower lash line up to the outer corner of my eye to determine how far I want the black to go. then taking the naked palette 2 I used Blackout with a flat shader brush and applied that to the outer corner of my eye to about quarter of the way across my eye and then made a thin line along the crease of my eye, then using a fluffy blending brush I blended it so there were no harsh lines. then using verve I blended this into the middle of my eye where the black ends and then using ydk on the inner corner of my eye and in the crease and then taking it down into the tear duct, using the fluffy blending brush again going over the crease and above moving in small circular motions just smoothing out any harsh lines. now taking black out again on a small angled brush I lined my lower lash line and then taking a Helen E loose shimmer powder in the number 18 I press this onto three quarters on f my eye starting at the inner corner, next I line my upper lash line with the same Rimmel liquid liner I used at the beginning. I then applied a few coats of Avon super shock mascara and eyelure pre-glued lashes.

 

 

 

 

On the right eye I used Dainty Doll eye shadow base 001 all over my lid and up to the brow bone then taking a flat shader brush I used booty call all over my lid up to the crease then taking tease and applying it to the outer corner of my eye and my crease and then blending that in with a fluffy blending brush, next I take pistol and blend that into the outer corner and along the lower lash line then using foxy to high light my brow bone and again going over with a fluffy blending brush in small circular motions just to blend out any harsh lines. now using a body shop eyeliner in the shade blue smoke I tight line my upper and lower lash line and apply a few coats of Avon super shock mascara.

 

 

 

 I love both of these looks and hope you enjoy recreating them yourself. please tag me in your pictures on Instagram @Hannahnhearts and twitter @hannahnicolab if you do try it out!
