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.

Nail of the Day: OPI "The Show Must Go On"

 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 the nail polish that I am currently wearing on my nails. I bought this colour yesterday when i went out with my mother looking for Christmas presents. This colour is called OPI "The Show Must Go On" and its from the Burlesque Collection which recently came out.

I'd describe this colour as a deep coral-pink with gold duochrome. It looks like it has a foil finish on the nail and is really pretty.

The gold duochrome is a little more evident in the photo below

Most of the nail polishes I own are China Glaze and this is only the second OPI I have bought. OPI in Australia is normally $19.95 retail ($10.95 industry) as opposed to $12.95 retail ($6 industry) for China Glaze, but considering I LOVE duochrome nail polishes, I was willing to spend the extra money for this polish, which I am glad I did because I am very impressed with it.

Nail of the Day: China Glaze "Frostbite" and Starburst Blue Foil

 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 another one of the foils that I purchased from Dollar Nail Art. This is a really pretty foil

This is how this particular foil turned out on my nails:

I would describe this foil as a royal blue foil with a starburst pattern covering the entire length of the foil. This pattern can also be seen in Gold Starburst foil. The starbursts then reflect teal, light and dark blue and green depending on which way the light hits it creating a holographic effect

As a base for this foil, I used China Glaze "Frostbite" which is a medium dark royal blue with blue shimmer.

So this is the nail tutorial that I talked about in my previous post. I think it matches that look really nicely. Hope you enjoy it

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: 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

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

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.

Nail Tutorial: Purple French with White Roses

 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 simple Konad design that I thought I would film recently. I have since taken off my gel nails and I'm allowing my nails to grow naturally so I won't be posting any more nail tutorials after this except the ones that I have pre-recorded.

To recreate this look, you will need:
- base coat - I used Nfu Oh Base Coat
- China Glaze "Temptation Carnation" nail polish
- China Glaze "Midnight Ride" nail polish
- Konad Special Polish in "White"
- Konad Top Coat
- Konad image plate "M19"
- Fauxnad GCOCL "F01"

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: Electric Party Purples 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 did this look a few weeks ago and wore it out one night when I went shopping with my mum. I was really surprised when 3 different total strangers stopped me and told me how much they absolutely LOVED my makeup.

This is a really pretty look for green or brown eyes. The glitter is a really pretty addition to the look, although not completely necessary.

If you don't have access to an Inglot store (as far as I know, in America there is only one in Times Square in New York), you can replace Inglot #439 (iridescent purple) eye shadow with Violet pigment but you might have to apply it wet to get a more dramatic effect. A similar effect to the one created  with Inglot #674 (light purple duochrome) in the tear duct can be achieved with Crystal eye shadow.

Also, if you can't get a hold of Non-Conformist fluidline, you could replace it with Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Lust or Ransom. You could also use just a plain black liner if you prefer.
