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

This is the first real neutral look that I have recorded for my blog/Youtube channel. I am not an expert on wearing neutral colours because I honestly don't wear them all that often, I prefer to express myself through using colour in my makeup.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

So, I thought it was about time that I did a more neutral and wearable look for my viewers who like that sort of thing.
This is a golden-bronze look with a lot of highlight in the inner corner to help brighten up the eyes. It helps to make others eye focus on your pretty peepers and flatters them really well.
This look would look fantastic on anyone but I think would be most effective with people who have green or blue eyes as the colours used really help them stand out.
One of the eye shadows used in this, 100 Strokes eye shadow, was limited edition. If you cannot find it, it can be easily replaced by something like Beauty Marked eye shadow. Although these two colours are not exactly alike, 100 Strokes eye shadow being a brown with a burgundy undertone and Beauty Marked eye shadow being almost black with dark pink and purple glitter, the end results when used with the other colours are fairly similar. I will have photos below of both eye shadows so you can see the colours I used.

Here is a look that is for my viewers who are not interested in bright looks. This is a really sexy, sultry look that would be perfect for a night out or going out on a date. This is also really easy yet really effective, you basically only need 3 eye shadows which are all available in the regular MAC line.

This is a really pretty look I came up with recently. As I say in the video it would work really well for green and blue eyed girls as the burgundy will compliment green eyes and the oranges will compliment blue. That's not to say that this look will only work for those eye colours, it would look nice and anyone.
There is three limited edition colours used in this look, that is 100 Strokes, Big T and Off the Page. If you have Twinks eye shadow that can replace 100 Strokes and I think that the Pro eye shadow called Orange would be a good replacement for Off the Page. For a replacement for Big T you could use any number of teal shadows but I recommend using Teal pigment as it the closest to the colour.

This is a recreation of a FOTD look for July 28th, 2009 that I had uploaded a while ago (to see the look, click here). It is just a goldy-brown on the lid with a pop of electric blue on the lower lash line. This is the kind of look you could wear when you have to look a little more conservative, but want to have a little something more to your look.
If you are in the US or UK and can't get your hands on Bourjoise "Blue Clinquant" eyeliner, Urban Decay has a 24/7 eyeliner in "Electric" which is a very similar colour.

This is a look that I had been wanting to do a tutorial on for a while. It is a recreation of a FOTD look that I did on October 15th, 2009 (to view the original look, click here). I recently bought "One-Off" eye shadow from the Love That Look Collection (July 2009) and I thought it was such a pretty colour. The Love That Look Collection brought back the Starflash finish eye shadows and some of the limited edition shades from the Starflash Collection (July 2008) and after trying this formula, I am definately not against getting more. One Off reminds of 6th Sin, a cream eye shadow that MAC came out with in the Metal X Collection (November 2007).
The Metal X eye shadow weren't really something to scream about in my opinion when they came out. They had some gorgeous colours in the collection but because they were cream, they had a tendency to crease really badly, even with a base under them (well, they did for me anyway).
I decide to pair this with Club eye shadow, a gorgeous brown with a green duochrome which tied in with the green on the lid realy nicely. I don't often wear this colour, but each time I break it out it just makes me happy. Its not a very unique colour, I think most makeup companies will have a colour that looks like this so ifyou don't have it, you could probably find a good substitute.
To recreate this look, you will need (all MAC unless stated):
- Urban Decay Primer Potion
- One Off eye shadow (from the Love That Look Collection)
- Club eye shadow
- Carbon eye shadow
- Fresh Approach eye shadow (from the "Photo Realism" quad in the Makeup Art Collection - Aug 2009)
- Vanilla eye shadow
- Loreal liquid liner in "Carbon Black"
- Ebony eyeliner

This is the first tutorial for the new channel. It is a look that I often do when I want to wear a neutral look with a bit of glamour. This look uses one of the more unusual brown MAC eye shadows, Patina. It is one of my favorites because I love the gold sheen that it gives off when worn on the lid, in the pan is it not much to me.
It also uses some discontinued eye shadows which is not such a good thing. Lucky Tom eye shadow, a medium brown similar to Espresso eye shadowbut with Gold glitter, is from the "Lucky Tom" quad that came out with the Hello Kitty Collection (February 2009). This is an optional eye shadow as it won't really change the look too much, its just added to add a bit of gold glitter to the look.
Another one is Smoking, a really pretty dark almost black brown eye shadow with gold glitter which came out in the "Smoking" quad which came out with the Smoke Signals Collection (August 2007). If you don't have this eye shadow you could also use a super dark brown like Smut.
EYES:
- Urban Decay Primer Potion
- Patina eye shadow
- Espresso eye shadow
- Lucky Tom eye shadow (from "Lucky Tom" quad from the Hello Kitty - Feb 2009)
- Smoking eye shadow (from "Smoking" quad from the Smoke Signals - Aug 2007)
- Vanilla eye shadow
- Rose Blanc eye shadow
- Loreal liquid liner in "Carbon Black"
- Ebony eyeliner
CHEEKS:
- Inglot #34 (peach with gold shimmer) blush
You could dress this look up even more by applying a gold glitter liner to the lash line, I often do this if I am going out at night wearing this look.
I welcome you guys to send me your recreations of this look.

This is another look that I did for my nails class today. I wanted to yet again wear something that would match with what I was wearing that wasn’t going to look really out of place. I wanted to use one of the new eye shadows I got from the Love that Look Collection that I hadn’t tried out on my eyes yet and paired it with Club, a brown eye shadow with green duochrome, which is a colour that I really love but hardly ever get to use.
Anyway, here is the look:
To recreate this look you will need (all MAC unless stated):
Urban Decay Primer Potion (UDPP)
One-Off eye shadow (Love That Look Collection – I really love the formula of these “Starflash” finish eye shadows, they are so creamy and lovely to work with)
So I thought this look was awesome so as with yesterdays photo of the day, I may make a tutorial on it. I have been coming up with a few good tutorials lately I just never get around to filming them which sucks. But never fear, I will have more videos really soon I pinky promise! Enjoy!
