Burgundy smokey eye! Makeup Tutorial:)

      Hey pretty ladies! So I was going through some of my makeup and I kept coming back to some shades I love ALOT! One of them is burgundy because it really brings out any eye color and its just beautiful on any skin tone. Plus I saw that Marsala is the color of 2015 so why not?!

It really is easier then it looks.:)






 I don't have alot to say. Just that its a quick look, don't shy away from this color. It really is very pretty and also just the key to any smokey eye. BLEND BLEND BLEND!! lets start!


Lets start! apply primer.
1. Apply a transition shade. I used a mix of warn and cool tone brown.
2. Apply a black base. I used my black eye pencil.
3. Apply a Burgundy shade all over the lid.
4.Apply a black eyeshadow to the outer corner of your lid.
5. Blend out the black eyeshadow so there isnt any harsh lines. Amd slightly blend into the crease so its just a faded effect
6. Apply the lid shade to the lower lashline.
7. And blend with crease color.
8. Apply a black eyeliner in the waterline and tightline it also. Then smudge it slightly to darken the lower lashline.
9. Take a whitish highlight shade and apply it to the brow bone all the way to the inner corner.
Take a q-tip and sharpen the outer corner starting from lower lashline and follow up to clean up that area.
Then take a clean blending brush and just blend the line to soften it a bit. And your done!


Here are the shades guys!
The black is from an Urban Decay naked 2 palette.
The burgundy shade and highlight shades at the bottom are from an Ulta palette.
The top right hand neutral shades are from an Avon palette. I mix the two shades in the middle to use as a transition shade.
The lip combo is a Kate Moss Rimmel London lipstick  in shade 105. One of my favorites!
and juicy tube lip gloss from Lancome in berry bold. That's it guys!:)

 Here is the finished look! I hope you guys like it! and Give it a go and Show me your creations! I would love to see them!!:)

DIY! BB Cream!!! I'm in love!!😍

Hey pretty ladies! I'm back with another DIY!! Now I know I haven't been updating my blog and I'm sorry for that! I've been very busy so I haven't gotten around it!:-( BECAUSE!!!! well you pretty ladies will find out soon enough! ;-) shh! Its a surprise! 

So anyways ever since the word BB Cream has entered the beauty world! I've been very excited for it! But I haven't gotten any BB Creams of store bought, I wanted to try it but I never got a chance to buy any! So I thought why not just make one!  
 And Oh yes! this stuff is sooo good! You guys have to give it a try!
I love wearing foundation just to get the job done. but i want sheer for an everyday use and to be honest! Im not very fond of going through the primer and sun screen and moisturizing steps all through every day! So this stuff gets the job done quick! and it gives me exactly what I want!
This is love at first sight for me!!:-P and today when I was running late and I had exactly 5 minutes to run to a baby shower. I just applied this and ran out! It hasn't moved since 1 o'clock and its about 10 p.m. at the moment. 

SO! Lets get to it!!!:)

This is the finished product.


Things you'll need!
1: Any face moisturizer. I've been wanting to try simple beauty but I cant get it here in Pakistan. So I
do with baby lotion. Nothing else suits! :( anyways this one has aloe and Vitamin E.
2: Sun Screen! I have the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer! mine is SPF 70, my dermatologist recommended it so use whatever you use!
 You know Bobbi Brown swears by this. does that lady look anywhere near 50!! No! but she is, So use use use!  She says " Its never too late to start using it!"
3: Face primer. I have Rimmel fix and perfect. its tinted. you don't need to use tinted but thats what I have.
4: Foundation! Now you can see I have two here. You dont need that many. But my foundation is Neutrogena skin clearing foundation. I Love this stuff! its absolute perfect for me. But yes its full coverage so I use very less. But I use this because well its Blemish Balm so if u have any blemish clearing cream you can use that. You dont need this specific foundation.

My other foundation is my sisters Mac Match Master I think.  Its 2 shades darker then mine, I added this because when you mix your regular foundation with the white products it lightens it more so this is for adjusting the shade.

5: Any container. I used my bath and body works hand sanitizer one. I can just throw it in my bag so thats why.
6: any stick or spoon to mix.
7: Bowl to mix.




First add your moisturizer. I just eyeball it. a big glob of it,

Second add the sun screen, I used this less since the mac foundation had SPF 15 in it too but that's not enough coverage.

NOW THIS STEP IS OPTIONAL!. I added a bit of my Garnier Skin Natural lighting cream, just a tiny bit because I have very fair skin but horrible pigmentation. You dont need to do this though. its optional.

Here's just a tiny glob on top as you can see. I didn't use much.

I then added my primer as you can see its tinted.


Now mix and see how light it got. Mix so you can adjust the amount of foundation you need to add,.

Now I added my Neutrogena foundation and mixed it. 
So I can adjust how dark I need it more.

I just added like 2 pumps of the Mac match master. That was enough for me.
Now if you want more coverage you can adjust the amount of foundation you add. you can 50% foundation and 50% rest of the stuff but my primer was tinted too so I didn't need to do that and plus like I said before, I dont want too much coverage.



Now Mix all together well and your done!!!. Please give this a try and tell me how you like. I would love to hear from you lovely readers! Bye ladies:)
