A Step By Step Copper Smokey Eye Look

I recently posted some pictures on facebook & twitter of a smokey copper eye and got alot of response from it , so i thought I'd show you all how to do it. This is a dramatic heavy eye but can you believe it , you only need 3 products to achieve it !! I used a black base and placed my Barry M Dazzle Dust in Chocolate
(shade 53 ) over the top of it . The dazzle dust is an amazing product , super pigmented and really glistens  and the best thing is it only costs around £4.50. You can easily experiment with this look and use different colour pigments powders over the base. You can pick up these pigments from Superdrug and Boots, they've got a huge colour range !! You could even mix two colours together,now  let me show you the basics : 

Step 1: Use some sellotape to angle your eye and get the desired shape (scotch off on the back of you hand first before you apply it to your eye area ) using a black base , I used a Black gel liner , apply it up to your crease .

Step 2 : Blend it out over your crease .

Step 3: Use the pigment powder and place over the top of the black base .

Step 4: Blend the pigment over the eye and soften the edges , blending it into the black base.

Step 5: Line your top lash line with a gel liner , the sellotape will make application so easy .

Step 6: Remove the tape and you should be left with a crisp line :)

Step 7: Line the bottom lashline and connect it to the top lashline using the gel liner.

Step 8: Line the inside of your eye top & bottom and highlight the browbone with any shimmery gold eyeshadow you have , finally add lashes to complete the look . 

Final Look

This is a simple look to create with maximum effect !!

How to Do An Arabian Style Eye With Urban Decay Palette Tutorial

Hey everyone it's been a while and I'm sorry but I hope you will enjoy the following tutorial . I love doing dramatic eyes and love the Arabian eye look which is a heavy smokey look using thick liner on the top and bottom of the eyes. I recently purchased the Urban Decay palette , which I totally love and is definitely one of my go to palette, the looks you can create with this palette are endless . Remember the products I use are just for guidance only if you have the colours in different products then please feel free to use them or even experiment with different colours. As you'll see in the following pictures for this technique I used  sellotape to the outer corner of my eye as a guide , this method makes the whole process alot quicker and easier to apply the eyeshadows and even better for getting that perfect winged out eyeliner. It leaves you with a crisp,clean line that gives an amazing finish to the look. Take a look at myother tutorial where I used the tape to create a perfect winged eyeliner , use the link to view it http://cosmeticzjunkie.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/how-to-do-winged-eyeliner.html

Lets get started : 

Step 1: Place the tape to the outer corner of the eye, if using normal sellotape remember to scotch the tape off a bit by applying it your hands a couple avoid any discomfort .

Step 2 : Apply a primer to your eye , I used my NYX eye base in white

Step 3 : Apply a transition colour to the crease of your eye and blend it out, I used a colour a few shades darker than my skin tone, this will help the look to blend out gradually . I used the colour Buck from the palette . 

Step 4 : Highlight the browbone with a very pale shimmery white and blend it into the transition colour . I used Virgin from the UD Palette.

Step 5 : Use the shimmery pink and shimmery taupe all over your eyelid upto the crease . I used Sin & Sidecar out of the palette.

Step 6: Add a dark brown to the crease and outer V , I used a mixture of Darkhorse and Smog .

 Step 7: Using a black gel liner draw a thick line upwards along the tape, doesn't have to be neat 

Step 8: Using a black eyeshadow blend out the the line you have just applied and blend into the crease slightly, I used the colour Creep, gradually build this up until you are happy with the blend. 

Step 9: Apply the liquid liner to the top lashline and wing out to add definition, this part is really easy with the tape :)

Step 10: Now for magic ...... remove the tape and you should have a clean crisp line :)

Step 11: Add gel liner to your bottom lash line and join it to the outer corner , keeping it quite thick . 

Step 12: Line the inside of your eye top and bottom, I used my gel liner for an intense look . 

Step 13 : Add lashes and your done xx
