Makeup 101: Eyeliner - top and bottom lashline

Hello! This will be a new series featuring on my blog amogst tutorials.  Basically it is a mini-series showing how to do basic makeup techniques e.g. blush application to help those who struggle or fear they are not doing it right.

*If you have a request for me to do anything in this series e-mail me at sabz132@gmail.com

This look is perfect for a night out paired with a dramatic smokey eye.  It is best for people with larger eyelids who are wanting to make them appear slightly smaller.

To start off, line the upper lashline with a black eyeliner, making a medium sized wing at the outer corner and extending the line in the inner corner ever so slightly.

Using the same black eyeliner, start to line the lower lashline, connecting the outer corner to the outer wing. Don't go all the way into the inner corner yet.

To join the inner corners together, take the tip of the inner corner on the upper lash, extend it further then join it to the lower lashline creating a triangle. Fill in the triangle with your eyeliner and voila!

Hope this helped people who were wondering how to do this but were struggling.  The only way you wil get this right is by taking your time and you will get better with practice :)

Review: MAC Chatterbox Lipstick

*If you want a review done just let me know on either my facebook or comment on a blog post, if you have my number text or bbm me :D

This is a review for a MAC lipstick.  I had Chatterbox for a while and i love it!  Its a nice baby pink with red undertones that isnt too showy but not too dull and of a creamy consistensy.  Although it looks like a darker pink in the tube it isnt.  It is an amplified finished which means it is extremely pigmented so you might need a light hand with this.  Chatterbox is a gorgeous summery colour and can be worn in a variety of ways; either straight from the tube, applied with a lipbrush or lightly applied with a pink gloss over it.  All in all I highly recommend this colour if your daring enough to wear it!  It lookes great on people with fair to medium skin tones.

Pros

• Very pigmented
• Smells amazing!
• Great lasting power
• Lovely colour

Cons

• Too thick if a lot is applied
• Makes the lines of your lips quite visible
• Quite drying to your lips:(
• Makes your teeth look yellow

Step 1: Put on a lip balm before you apply foundation. Mix your foundation with moisturiser and apply it all over your face and down your neck.  Countour your cheeks, temples and jawline with a matte bronzer and apply a peachy pink blush.

Step 2: Apply a primer all over your eyelid.  Pat a cream eyeshadow with gold sparkles all over the lid and blend at the crease.  

Step 3:  Place a hot pink eyeshadow in the crease and blend out to get the rough shape of the shadow.  Pack on the pink eyeshadow, blending as you go along to build up the intensity.

Step 4:  Mix the pink eyeshadow with a purple and apply it in the outer 'v' of your eye and blend into the crease. Make sure there is more pink than purple shadow showing through.

Step 5:  Put some of the pink on the lower lashline. Use a black pencil to tightline as well as waterline and smudge some on the lower lashline setting the pencil with black shadow (optional).

Step 6:  Apply mascara and a dusky pink lipstick and you are good to go :D
