Sleek Makeup Ultra Matts V2 Palette Look!

Hello!
I thought there's been a few Lush posts recently so lets break it up with a makeup look!
I've gone back to my Sleek Makeup Series and done a look using only eyeshadows from the Ultra Matts V2 Palette. This is my favourite palette from Sleek and comes with me whenever I go away, I love it! I don't know why I haven't done a look with this palette sooner, it was so easy! There's so many different choices which would've all made lovely looks but I fancied adding some blue eyeliner so went for a subtle pink/purple too :) hope you like it.

I love using matte eyeshadows, I find these ones by Sleek blend really well together which makes life a whole lot easier! For my base I used NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk and applied Dune to the inner half of my eyelid and Flesh to the outer half.

Next I used Maple in my crease and blending it upwards into Pillow Talk which I used as my brow highlight. To darken the outer corner I use a little bit of Highness but mainly Villan using a small pencil brush.

Under my eyes I used Maple and Villan, on my waterline is Stila Smudge Stick in Stingray.

To create my blue winged liner I used Lush's Control Eyeliner which I love!

Mascara is Urban Decay Supercurl Curling Mascara and Eyelashes are Princess Lashes from Born Pretty Store.

 

I hope you like my look! I absolutely love the V2 palette, it's definitely the easiest palette to get complete looks out of and I'm a huge fan of matte shades anyway so perfect for me!

Sleek Makeup Showstoppers Palette Look!

Hey guys! I have so many reviews for you guys but I'm still waiting to take the photos (hopefully will be done tomorrow) so for today I have another makeup look for you! My boyfriend's wonderful Mumma surprised me with a lovely gift when I came home from work the other day, the new Showstoppers palette from Sleek Makeup which is out in Superdrug in celebration of their 50th Anniversary.
So here's the look I've done, I hope you like!

Like all the colours from Sleek, they are beautifully pigmented and so easy to use! I love creating new looks with palette I haven't used before and I can see a lot of potential in this palette!

The colours in this palette all work so well together and there's a lovely mix of mattes, satins, glitters and frosts.

Colours from top left are: Paraguaya, Sunset, Me Myself & Eye, Bad Girl, Noir, Ultramattes V2

bottom left: Oh so special, Bohemian, Storm, Sparkle, Au Natural, Graphite.

I don't have all the palettes but I'm guessing that all the colours are there to represent past palettes? Some are obviously names whereas I don't know some of the others like Paraguaya or Bohemian.

To start my look I used my elf primer and NYX eye pencil in Milk and then went over my eye with Paraguaya as a base and a blending tool for my crease. Next I applied Bohemian all over my lid and into my crease as my colour base. Using Au Natural I went into the outer and very inner of my crease with a light pencil brush to create a shadow effect, which will make my eyes appear rounder by creating depth.

To darken the shadow and create further depth I used Storm in my outer crease and Me, Myself & Eye in the very centre of my eyelid.

In my inner corner I applied Sparkle and used Collection 2000 Extreme 24 hour felt tip liner in Purple.

My lashes are Princess Lashes from Born Pretty Store and Mascara is Urban Decay's Supercurl Curling Mascara.

Under my eyes I applied Storm and blended it slightly with Bohemian to remove any harsh edges.

On my waterline is Urban Decay's 24/7 liner in Rockstar.

 

And that's the look! I hope you like it, I think I'm going to try and get another look out using this palette soon! Seeing these pictures again makes me remember how many ideas I had!

 

See you soon!

Disney Series: Snow White!

Hellooo!
I have ANOTHER Disney look for you guys today! I did this one the same day as my Tinkerbell look, but I haven't been too sure about it... Snow White is a lot simpler so it made it a lot more difficult to do a look that I liked! After about 3 attempts I finally decided I liked this one, I hope you do too!

I won't over do it with info on this post, it's not one of my favourites that's for sure but it's still cute!

To prime my eyes I used ELF primer all over, NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk all over, and the yellow shade from Makeup Forever's Flash palette on my eyelid.

To set my yellow base, I used BAMM! from sleek makeup's V1 Mattes palette and also the top 2 yellow shades from Born Pretty Store's P88 Palette, to add a little shimmer.

To create the cut crease, I first went in with Chill from Sleek's V1 palette, and then with Bolt to darken.

To highlight I used POW from the same palette.

To create the eyeliner and the little snow white tear drop pattern, I used the Red from Makeup Forever's Flash palette - loving this palette right now!

For lashes, I used my Princess Lashes from Born Pretty Store (quite fitting!) and mascara is Urban Decay's SuperCurl Mascara.

On my waterline I used Stila Smudge Stick in Stingray, and that's the look! Very simple but soo hard to make it look right!

Hope you like my look and fingers crossed I'll have some more looks out soon :)

Disney Series: Tinkerbell - Peter Pan

Hey Guys!
It's been so long since I've done a Disney Inspired look I thought one was well overdue! I haven't played around much with my Flash Palette from Makeup Forever either so this was the perfect opportunity.
For this Disney inspired look I've chosen to recreate Tinkerbell! I wasn't a huge Tinks fan when I was a kid but she's definitely grown on my in recent years!
Hope you like my look!

This look was so fun to recreate! I love it when I get a clear image in my head of what I want something to look like - and the pixie dust topped it off perfectly! Definitely Tinks!

Now this isn't the 'original' Tinkerbell from Peter Pan, this little starlet has plenty of her own movies now!

To start this look I used ELF Primer and NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk as my base. Next I applied BAMM! from Sleek Makeup's V1 Palette onto my eyelid and then applied the top two yellow shades from my P88 palette from the born pretty store over the inner two thirds of my eyelid to add some yellow shimmer.

I applied Adam's Apple from Sleek's Garden of Eden palette into my crease and blended upwards. To darken my crease, I used Cricket and Dragonfly from the V1 palette and finally Fern from the V2 palette right in the outer corner to really darken the greens and create a shadow effect.

To finish my eyeshadow I used POW! from V1 as my brow highlight and Cricket and Fern under my lower lash line.

Next is eyeliner... Very simple - It's the white from the Flash Palette! Soo creamy!

To apply my Bellapierre Gold Holographic Glitter I used the Bellapierre Clear Eyeliner Base which is my saviour! I'd be lost without it!

Finally I applied my Urban Decay Supercurl Curling Mascara and a set of Eylure's #100 lashes.

Last but not least I created an ombre effect on my waterline using the white from Flash Palette and different shades of green eye shadows.

And that's the look! I hope you like my Tinkerbell recreation! I do have another Disney Inspired look ready to put up too! Might be my Friday post...

Sleek Snaphots Look #2

Hey guys!
I know I said I was going to do a look using Sleek's V2 palette, but I opened Snapshots and Sunset just looked so beautiful I couldn't resist it!
I hope you like my look!

It's so bright and fiery! This look really came alive in the photos - so summery!

To start this look I used my ELF primer and NYX JEP in Milk all over my eyes.

As a base for my eyelid and crease I used Washed Ashore, and then blended Sand Walker into my Crease.

Next, I applied Tequila Sunrise all over my eyelid, and used Sunset to define my outer corner and crease.

I went back over with Sand Walker and Washed Ashore to make sure it was well blended out!

In my inner corner I applied Martini, and Tequila Sunrise under my eyes.

My eyeliner is Urban Decay Perversion Liquid Liner, and on my lashline is Bourbon khol liner by Urban Decay.

Mascara is Urban Decay Super Curling Mascara and my eyelashes are of course Eylure #100's.

So that's my look! I hope you like it, leave me a comment and let me know what you think!
