All About Eyes - Peach & Purple For The Holidays

Products Used:

Sleek MakeUP i-Divine Palette - Circus (metallic purple) & Storm (metallic grey) 

MAC Eyeshadow - Paradisco

Annabelle Cosmetics Hype Liquid Liner - Mystic Black

MAC Fluidline - Blacktrack

Tarte Lights, Camera, Splashes! Mascara - Black

This is probably one of my favourite looks I've created so far, I absolutely love how it turned out! To start off, I applied the metallic purple eyeshadow all over the lid up to the brow bone, but leaving the inner third free of product. Then I applied the metallic grey colour in the inner corner and blended it into the purple shade. Next, I used a blending brush to apply Paradisco along the brow bone from the inner corner all the way to the outer edge, then applied the purple eyeshadow on the lower lash line. Lastly, I lined my upper lash line with Mystic Black liquid liner, lined the lower lash line with Blacktrack, filled in my brows with matte black eyeshadow and applied a few coats of mascara to both upper and lower lashes.

I think this is a great look for the holidays because it's fun and colourful, but still quite wearable and appropriate for most functions. 

Hope you guys like this look!

All About Eyes - Halloween

To compliment my previous Halloween looks, I decided to create something that was more inspired by Halloween instead of for Halloween. Of course, you can still make this look work for a Halloween costume if you want :).

Products Used:

MAC Paint Pot - Soft Ochre

Sleek MakeUP i-Divine Palette - Circus (matte orange & matte black) and Sunset (shimmery orange)

MAC Fluidline - Blacktrack

Tarte Lights, Camera, Splashes! Mascara - Black

First, I applied a paint pot all over the lid to neutralize the darkness of my lids. Then I applied the matte orange eyeshadow all over the lid past the crease and up to the brow bone. I used Sigma's E55 eye shading brush and applied with a patting motion to deposit more colour.

Next, I used Sigma's E70 medium angled shading brush to apply the matte black eyeshadow to the outer corner and lower lash line; making sure to flick out the outer edge. I chose this brush because I wanted the bottom lash line to be kind of messy looking; to have more of a grungy look instead of a precise line.

In keeping with the "messy look," I used the same brush to apply the top black line. I started from the inner corner (on top of the matte orange) and curved it under my brows and flicked it up past my eyebrows. I also added some matte orange to the outer corner to create a flick of colour on top of the black.

Next, I applied a shimmery orange eyeshadow right below the top black line. Again, starting from the inner corner, curving below the brow and then flicking up past it. Afterwards, I took MAC's Blacktrack Fluidline to line the upper lash line and lower waterline. A few coats of mascara and the look was done!

Hope you guys like this look!

Let me know what your Halloween look will be :)

Call It Beauty Does Halloween - Born In The 80's

Ahh, the 80s, with your big hair and garish makeup. Despite being supremely thankful I didn't have to go through my teens in the 80s, I must say I have a soft spot for that decade. So here's my take on the 80s look.

Products Used:

Revlon PhotoReady Foundation - Shell

bareMinerals Foundation - Light

MAC Studio Finish Concealer - NW25

MAC Paint Pot - Soft Ochre

Annabelle Cosmetics Mono Eyeshadow - Revolver

Sleek MakeUP i-Divine Palette (Circus) - Purple, Pink & Matte Black

Tarte Lights, Camera, Splashes! Mascara - Black

MAC Blush Ombre - Vintage Grape

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish - Petticoat

Sephora Eye Shadow - Aspen Summit No23

Revlon Colorburst Lipstick - Fuchsia

Since I was in an experimental mood, I decided to mix some mineral powder (bareMinerals - Light) and liquid foundation (Revlon PhotoReady - Shell) together to get a better shade match for my skin (Shell is too light). I just mixed them together on the back of my hand and applied the foundation to my face with a Sigma F60 Foundation Brush.

For the eyes, I started off by applying Soft Ochre Paint Pot all over the lid. Then, I applied Annabelle Cosmetics' Revolver eyeshadow on the lid up to the crease and flicking out the outer edge.

Next, I applied a shimmery purple eyeshadow from Sleek MakeUP's Circus palette on top of Revolver. This eyeshadow starts a bit further in the inner corner than Revolver. Again, this eyeshadow flicks out in the outer corner.

Then, I applied the shimmery pink eyeshadow from Sleek's Circus palette from the inner corner up arching up to the brow bone, as seen in the photo above. Afterwards, I blended some Aspen Summit eyeshadow from Sephora to the brow bone to give a bit more shimmer to the eye. 

To finish up the eyes, I used some matte black eyeshadow to line the upper and lower lash lines, as well as the lower water line. After applying a few coats of mascara, the eyes were done.

For the cheeks, I first applied MAC's Blush Ombre in Vintage Grape very heavily to the back of the cheek. To add a bit of shimmer, I layered MAC's Petticoat MSF on top of Vintage Grape and applied Sephora's Aspen Summit eyeshadow to the cheek bone. The more garish, the better :p.

Lastly, I applied Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Fuchsia straight from the tube. The 80s were about bright lipsticks, so this shade was absolutely perfect. 

And now for the finished look:

Hope you guys like this look!

All About Eyes: Runway Edition - Derek Lam

(photo taken from (left) Harper's Bazaar & (right) Stylist)

This one gave me some difficulty because it's really hard for me to recreate a look when my eyelid is so different from the inspiration. Thankfully, I was able to find a photo from a model with a slightly more similar shape to mine (yay for Asian runway models!). However, I did combine elements from both photos (the upper lid of the photo on the right and the lower lash line of the photo on the left).

Products Used:

MAC Paint Pot - Soft Ochre

Sephora Color Play 5-in-1 Palette - shimmery blue, matte blue, matte bluegreen, matte white

MAC eyeshadow - Deep Truth

MAC eyeshadow - Tempting

Tarte Lights, Camera, Splashes! Mascara

I started off with Soft Ochre all over the lid, all the way up to the brows. Then, I applied the matte blue eyeshadow all over the lid. I made sure to create the same shape as the photo (a rounded edge in the inner corner and a diagonal starting from the lower lash line, going upwards and outwards in the outer edge). I also made sure to go over the inner half of my brows with a bit of the eyeshadow. Once I've covered all the spaces, I applied a bit of a shimmery dark blue shade from the Sephora palette and Deep Truth by MAC just to the inner portion of the lid, layering it on top of the matte blue. Then I applied a bit of the matte bluegreen shade to the outer portion of the lid; again, layering on top of the matte blue. Then I layered some matte white eyeshadow (from the Sephora palette) to the brow bone. Next I applied Tempting eyeshadow (a "sinfully rich coco" according to MAC's website) with a pencil brush all along the lower lash line. I took this a little bit lower than I normally would in order to really recreate the look.  I finished the look with a few coats of Lights, Camera, Splashes! by Tarte, but I only applied this to the top lashes. 

Hope you all loved this look

a big "hello" to all the new followers of Call It Beauty!

All About Eyes: Runway Edition - Alexandre Herchcovitch

A few days ago, I was strolling through the streets of the Interweb and was inspired by a few of the runway makeup looks that I saw. So it's been a bit of a mad dash trying to recreate some of them during the scant few hours there's actually enough natural light to take photographs (ahhh, fall!).

Anyway, here's the first look:

(photo from: elle.com)

I'm sure we've all sported the trend of using a bright eyeshadow on the lower lid. But what I haven't seen before was the use of two different colours at the same time. So I decided to try and recreate this look.

Products Used:

Sleek MakeUP i-Divine Palette - Sunset (orange & yellow/gold)

MAC eyeshadow - Satin Taupe

MAC eyeshadow - Naked Lunch

Tarte Lights, Camera, Splashes! Mascara

First, I started with a wash of Naked Lunch (the lightest shade) all over the lid. Then, I applied Satin Taupe along the crease and the outer corner. With a pencil brush, I applied the yellow/gold colour to the inner corner, making sure to apply a bit to the upper lash line. I also applied this to the inner third of my lower lash line. Using the same pencil brush, I applied the orange shade to the rest of my lower lash line and blended it slightly into the Satin Taupe. I finished off with Tarte's Lights, Camera, Splashes! mascara on the top and bottom lashes. However, I only coated my lashes once or twice to achieve a natural look because the model doesn't look like she's wearing any mascara. But since my lashes are pretty sparse (not to mention short), I decided to apply some. Artistic license and all that jazz :p. Also, apart from a bit of grooming with a brush, I left my eyebrows alone since the model's looks fairly natural as well.

I really like this look because it's a unique way to wear brighter eyeshadows without looking garish. Also, the use of the orange really makes it appropriate for Fall. I would personally wear this for a night out or a small gig (with false lashes or black eyeliner on both lash/water lines).

Would you rock this look?
