Golden Highlighted Eyes and Nude Lips!

So this post is gonna be my first ever “tutorial” here on my blog. Honestly I did this look a few weeks back and had no intention on it being a tutorial I was just having fun with my makeup,but I really liked how it turned out so why not share it. I don’t have that many photos in terms of a step by step process because as I stated I didn’t know that I would be posting this but I believe it can still be useful. Firstly:

1. I primed my face with the BH cosmetics foundation primer.

2. I then did my usual eyebrow routine that I have a post on here

3. I primed my eyes with a white creamy base to make the colors more vibrant the NYX Jumbo pencil in milk will be perfect.

4. For the eyes I used my Nubian 2 & Masquerade palette. I used The shade “Jezebel” and “Morrocco” as my transition color then I went into the shade “Zobo” in my inner and outer corners in the middle I popped on the lovely gold color that you see “Nairobi”. For the inner come I used a lavender shimmer shade from my BH 88 shimmer palette. I then lined my waterline with a black pencil eyeliner (anyone would do the trick). I used some mascara to top of the look and as for lashes I was already wearing individuals from Ardell which I will do a blog post about “how to apply them” pretty soon.

5. For foundation I used the Milani conceal + perfect 2-in-1 concealer and foundation in chestnut before applying foundation however I color corrected with the l.a girl orange corrector.

6. Concealer I used my l’oreal true match in medium/deep that I absolutely love, and to highlight my l.a. girl concealer in warm honey.

7. Powder I used my l’oreal infallible pro-matte powder in classic tan that matches my skin perfectly and to set my under eye highlight I lightly baked using the Sacha Buttercup Setting Powder.

8. To contour I used the BH cosmetics contour & blush 2 palette

9. I finished off the look using Sacha cosmetics Intense lipshine gloss in “Whatever”, that I also have a review on here

Hope you guys enjoyed this post/mini tutorial although its not as in depth as i would have liked it, I do promise to get better. Thanks for reading and have a great weekend.

Juvia’s Place Worth The Hype?!!

 

Juvia’s Place is a highly sort after and reviewed new makeup brand that is inspired by Africa, from the iconic beauty that was Nefertiti to being inspired by African festivities that has so much of color, it can be easily seen from the packaging of their palettes to the product. With youtubers such as nikkitutorials, glamtwinz334 and lizlizlive just to name a few doing reviews of the brand it is easy to see why the brands popularity has been growing. Consisting of palettes, single eyeshadows, makeup brushes and until recently gel eyeliner, with their palettes being the most popular.

Being the makeup enthusiast that i  am however, i wanted to get my hands on their palettes myself. So taking advantage of the black friday sale i ordered all of the palettes that they had at that time which was The Nubian, The Nubian 2 and The Masquerade Palettes. My order arrived relatively and was nicely packaged. I didn’t however get an opportunity to swatch and use the palettes until recently, which might i say how did i go so long without using these bad boys.

The packages are extremely beautiful from the bright colors and the gorgeous designs.The colors in each palettes are so satisfying to look at, it just screams at you (in a good way though). And do i even have to mention this but yes!!! the colors are extremely pigmented that its crazy. It almost wants to make you cry, because the possibilities are endless with the various looks one can create with each palette.

The Nubian – perfect for makeup beginners or persons who just cant get enough of a neutral eye; consisting of 4 matte shadows and 8 shimmer shadows.

The Nubian 2 – ideal for persons slowly wanting to incorporate color in their makeup looks with neutral mattes and shimmer and some color shadows.

The Masquerade – great for persons who love to experiment with their makeup having a wonderful selection of color.

All in all these palettes are definitely pushing the bar for affordable products that are of extremely amazing quality. Looking forward to ordering and playing with the Saharan Palette pretty soon and even trying out some of their brushes.
