Yellow look!

I love yellow and after I saw Rashmi's yellow look, I wanted to try it too. Actually I wanted to do just yellow with a retro winged liner but I have recently acquired MAC's "Twinks" e/s so I wanted to use that as well. And the winged liner did not work out so I did a simple but thick line instead. Hope you like!


Products used:

• Urban Decay Primer Potion
• NYX Yellow jumbo eye pencil 
• Inglot Yellow e/s, Orange e/s 
• MAC e/s Twinks
• MAC e/s Black Tied
• MAC penultimate liner
• Covergirl Lash Blast mascara

Here are some pics!

Yes, I know this pictures of both eyes is creepy. :D

Do leave me your thoughts, recommendations and feedback!

Thanks!

Brown-smoky!

This look was requested by Poohkie. It's a simple brown smoky eye with few products used. The pictures, don't do it justice - browns just looked washed out on me. But I wanted to do the look & explain the technique as well so that it becomes easy and wearable.

Products used:

• NYX jumbo eye pencil in "Milk" - use as a base for all over lid.
• Faces brown eye pencil - smudge on upper eyelid, under the crease.
• MAC e/s in "Twinks" - all over eyelid under the crease; then blend with clean brush above crease.
• NYX e/s in "Walnut" - as crease colour to blend.
• Inglot white e/s as highlight, and to blend the brown. 
• Black eye pencil - to line upper and lower waterline
• Covergirl Lashblast mascara. 

Ok, so a few things before you see the pics: 

1. You don't have to use a separate crease colour for this look. Just pack on colour on the main eyelid area and using a clean fluffy brush, blend upwards into and above your crease - thus "smoking" the eye shadow out.
2. Use a similar coloured base for smoky looks.
3. Since smokey looks can get heavy, skip eyeliner on upper lid.
4. Also, use a light colour to highlight tear duct area.
5. Please forgive the spidery lashes - it's my new mascara that's giving me a tough time.

Sorry about the pics - this was the best I could capture. Hope you like and do leave me questions & comments, suggestions!

Thanks.

Faces Cosmetics.

Having read some interesting things about Faces Cosmetics, I decided to go check out their line of products. They have some very nice products and I like that they are reasonably priced. 

This is just a holler to let you know that Faces is on sale @ Naidu Hall in Chennai! Some stuff is marked at 10% and some at 50% off! The smokey eyes kit that has a ton of products is 50% off (999 down to around 450 bucks.) I think it is a great deal! So please go check it out and if you are not from Chennai, spread the word to your Chennai pals! 

Will do a review on what I got later. Thanks!
