Tutorial: Smokey Silver with a Purple Pop Look

EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey 

Hey guys, sorry its been so long since I've posted a tutorial but as some of you may know I have been sick the past week or so and haven't been up to doing much of anything except sleeping and attempting to eat, hopefully you understand.

So, while looking through my tutorials recently I saw that I haven't done a silver/grey look in a while. I began playing around with colours and this is the look I came up with.

Welcome to the first tutorial of the new year. I hope that everyone's holidays were awesome and that you all had a happy and safe Christmas, received all the presents that you asked for and had a happy and save New Year celebration!

I was inspired by my Transformers T-shirt to do something bright blue but still a little bit smokey and this was the look that I came up with.

I received a request for a teal and brown look a while ago and I filmed this little number. Teal is one of my favorite colours and always has been so I really love this look, hopefully you do too

Tutorial: Charcoal and Forest Green Look

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

This is a look that I did on my friend when we went out together to a gig. I thought it was really pretty and would match a nail tutorial that I recorded a few months ago but never got around to posting.

This is a really pretty look that would look nice during either day time or night time, just reduce or add more black.

Tutorial: Sacramento Flash Look

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

So this is a really sexy look that I wore to a party recently. I wanted something with a red brown so I could make my green eyes pop. I also wanted to use my Club eye shadow again considering I don't use it all that often. I created a really pretty, sexy brown smokey which I was getting a lot of compliments on at this party so I thought I'd post it here for you guys.

Tutorial: Gold and Bronze Arabic Look

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

So this is a re-recorded look that I've done. I filmed this look on my old camera before I got the new HD one and I just never got around to uploading the old video. So here it is :)

This is a really pretty look to wear out to a party or something similar. You don't have to make it as dramatic as I have, just by lining like normal you can make it less dramatic.

Tutorial: Shadow on the Sun Look

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

So I realized while going through my tutorials that I hadn't done a nice purple look for a while, which is CRAZY because purple is one of my favorite colours to wear. This look also incorporates a gold duochrome on the inner tear duct which gives the purple a nice contrast.

Tutorial: Smokey Olive and Gold Look

This is a look that is very pretty for either a night time or day time event. I haven't created a green look for a while and thought that this would be a nice one to show off. I actually wore this to the gym after I filmed the tutorial and the girls loved it lol

Tutorial: Flavescent Gold and Brown Smokey Look

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

Considering the last post was a recreation of a look I have already done, I decided that it was only fair that I upload a new tutorials along with it.

This is a pretty smokey gold and brown look that would look really pretty on any eye colour. It helps to brighten up my green eyes quite nicely. I don't really wear a lot of gold or brown eye shadows because I normally go for the brighter looks, but lately I have been getting into the more neutral tones.

Tutorial: One Off in the Club Look Recreated

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

This is a recreation of a look I did when I first started filming makeup tutorials from Youtube, way before I had the HD camera. I really liked this look when I first did it and the quality of the first video wasn't the best, so I decided to refilm it with the new camera.

Tutorial: Volcanic Lust Look

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

I've always been a fan of duochrome eye shadows, they are my favorite eye shadows to use because they change depending on what colour base you use them with. In this look I have utilized a duochrome eye shadow and eyeliner to create a smokey firey look that would be awesome for someone with blue eyes.

The look reminds me of a documentary on volcanoes that I saw when I was in my Natural an Man-Made Disasters class in high school. It has a similar look to the firey lava flowing down the side of the volcano and solidifying and turning darker as it cools.

Tutorial: Persian Midnight Look

Teal is one of my favorite colours so I felt like creating a nice teal smokey eye one night. This technique that I used is one of the easiest ways to create an awesome looking smokey eye.

Tutorial: Somewhere Over the Rainbow Look

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

I couldn't decide what colours I wanted to use for my next tutorial. I wanted to do something bright, eye catching and fun. So this is the look I came up with.

This is a bright fun look which can be worn anytime of the day, although I wouldn't recommend wearing it to work (unless you work with kids, then this would be awesome to wear lol).

Tutorial: Sunset at the Beach Look

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

This look is a really good example of the way that complimentary colours can look good together. I used a copper and gold look on the eyelid and then a purple-blue on the lower lash line. This works well because orange (copper) and blue are complimentary, and yellow (gold) and purple are complimentary also.

This is a pretty awesome look to try when you want to do something a little more dramatic and fun on a weekend out. You could also maybe pass this off as an Egyptian look if you made the eyeliner a little more dramatic.

Tutorial: Pop That Neutral Look

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

The classic neutral, everyday look is one that every makeup wearer has pulled off at one point or another, be it on a daily basis or just on occasion. This tutorial is a good way to create a slightly more dramatic look to this by simply adding a contrasting colour to your lower lash line.

Any makeup wearer should know their basic colour theory, all you have to do is look at a colour wheel (I have included a colour wheel below as a reference), and the best way to make your eyes really stand out is to use a contrasting colour. For me having green eyes, the contrasting colour is red. Now red isn't exactly a colour that can be easily found in an eye shadow. The reason for that is because the pigment used to create the red colour can create an allergic reaction with some people when it comes in contact with the eye area. For me that isn't a problem, but that being said DO NOT attempt to wear red makeup products on your lower lash line because your eyes will water like crazy!

Tutorial: Cold and Icey Blues Look

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

I know what you guys are thinking "YAY! Finally a new tutorial!" I had a few troubles with my editing software recently because I bought a new computer and the settings that I had for Youtube in the program on my old computer wouldn't work. I finally fixed up the problem and now I have heaps of tutorials to post soon for your viewing pleasure.

This is a look that I wore a while ago when I went and saw "Eclipse" with a friend. I recorded it the day after seeing the movie but because of the software problem, I wasn't able to edit it until now.

Tutorial: Gold and Peachy Pink Smokey Look

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

I know that is has been absolutely AGES since I have uploaded a tutorial, but hopefully this is the end of my absence and the start of more tutorials to come.
This is a look that is something really flirty and pretty for the summer months but it could also be worn anytime of the year. It is a simple and flattering look that will compliment most eye colours and is fairly easy to do.

Tutorial: Blue Smokey Look with Pink Reflects Revisited

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

So, as you guys can probably tell already, I'm not very happy with my earlier videos before I got my new camera and before I set up a better place for me to film, so I have slowly been re-filming my older tutorials and just posting them randomly when I don't have any others to show you guys.

This one is a re-do of a look that was my favorite at the time that I did it. Normally I don't wear a lot of blue eye shadows and that but I really thought that using a pink reflect worked really well with it.

The original look looked like this:


Yeah, I know what you are thinking. It's really crap, bad liner, you can't even see my lashes and its not very well blended.

Below is the new revamped look.

Tutorial: Silver, Purple and Pink Smokey Look

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

This is a really simple look that looks really pretty. I don't use silvers too often so this is just something a little fun to wear. Its not terribly dramatic but the combination of colours looks really pretty.
