EOTD & TUTORIAL: Yellow Brown Smoky Eyes Look

I don't know if it happens to you guys but it sure does to me. What? LOL... The time when I get used to a particular thing and I just cannot let go of it :) Well yes it happens to the best of us but I guess it happens to me a tad bit more than most of you can even imagine! Why does this happen to me I cannot fathom but then yes you will now say that I am blabbering away to glory :P ha ha! So before I get carried away a bit more, let me tell you guys that what I am talking about is the fact that I get stuck not only to particular products but also to specific EOTDs and LOTDs... Yes! I am a habitual EOTD repeater in real life! Ha! There I said it! :D

So anyways, today I am posting a tutorial on the summery smoky look that I am nowadays sporting with anything and everything :) It's a very pretty and versatile (you bet!) EOTD using golden yellow and brown and well it just makes my eyes look so bright and full of life :) So here goes...

But first here's a sneak peak at my EOTD :) Tell me guys how much you like it :)

Yellow Brown Smoky Eyes

STEPS

1. Primed lids with Faces Eye-shadow Base and then buffed with some loose 

    powder/compact.

2. Taking a bit of yellow eye shadow from my Faces Brilliants Palette using a flat fluffy 

    eye shadow brush again from Faces, I applied the shadow on my eye lids in a 

    "pat-pat" motion.

3. Next using my Faces Blending Brush number 106, I picked up some Colorbar eye 

    shadow called Spicy Brown, which is a warm brown shade and applied it on my 

    crease, blending the yellow and brown shadows in a to and fro motion from the inner    

    corner of the eye to the outer.

4. Taking a highlighter shade like MAC Nylon, I applied it on my brow bone in order to 

    bring focus to my eyes.

5. Now, I lined my eyes with Maybelline's Gel Liner (waterline+upper lashline) and 

    finished off with some mascara. I have used Maxfactor's False Lash Effect Mascara 

    here.

6. This look can generally be paired with either a nude lippy or a red lippy and 

    sometimes even a coral lippy :)

7. On my cheeks, I have used NYX cream blush in Golden on the cheekbone and 

    Colorbar powder blush in Plum Brown on the hollows of my cheeks.

GLIMPSE: Faces Brights Makeup Kit

What makes us girls the happiest? Diamonds? Shopping? Chocolates? Flowers? All of these yes but what really makes me happy is a HAPPY SURPRISE :) Don't we all just love surprises? Just yesterday I was pleasantly surprised by a parcel from Fashion and You that contained this awesome make-up kit from Faces. This really wasn't a surprise in the true sense but you see I had ordered for it and then had conveniently forgotten about until the moment it arrived. Imagine my surprise when I opened to see what the parcel contained for me:)

I am just soooooo HAPPY :D

Let me warn you all that this is a pic heavy post and well those you dont like pictures (i can't imagine who) are requested to read my other posts ;)

Ok, so here goes...

The kit is called FACES BRIGHTS and contains the following:

1. Eye-shadow palette containing 5 colors: Cranberry RED (200), Indigo BLUE (034), Golden YELLOW (336), Moss GREEN (188) and PURPLE (327). They are all non-matte and with the perfect shimmer. If it was a MAC palette, I would have described them as “velvet” shadows :)
2. Metaliglow Eye Primer: It is a pale champagne colored eye-shadow base.
3. Volumizing and Lengthening Mascara
4. Eye Pencil in Black-Noir
5. Brow wax and powder duo.

The swatches are here:

The eye-shadows as you can see are very highly pigmented and I just cannot refrain from trying them out :) ha! What a happy week I have ahead of me :)

The black eye-pencil seems quite decent and black and I'll need to try it out for at least a couple of days to give you guys a proper review. Yes! A review of this palette will be done! And if you guys do want to purchase it at a discounted rate, you must check it out at Fashion and You. An invitation to Fashion and You is here

The box reads INR 999/- to be price but on Fashion and You, I got it for a discounted price of INR 650/- :)

Next? Reviews on MAC Cosmo (review here)and Colorbar Blush in Spicy Brown coming up! So stay tuned :)
