Graphic Navy and Ice

As the Fall season quickly approaches I've found myself completely obsessed with navy shadow and really enjoyed combining it with two of my other favourite things for this look - graphic lines and glitter!

This look was just for fun and was a great practice for my line work, blending, and symmetry!

Last month I entered a Make Up For Ever face chart contest and ended up in the top 10 with my look featured on the Make Up For Ever Canada Facebook page! (Which you can see here).

It was a fun look to create and I had the pleasure of recreating it on my beautiful friend Chicara. Hope you guys like it!

Graphic in Green!

Here's a look I came up with while having some fun with products this weekend! Greens my favourite colour and I don't think I've ever done a green look before! So here we are... hope you guys enjoy it!

1 Apply foundation all over and concealer in areas of concern. Set with a translucent powder

2 Buff bronzer through the backs of cheeks, temples and hairline and apply a pink pop of blush high on the backs of the cheekbones.
3 Use a cream eyeshadow all over the lid from lash line to just above the crease and leave the edges sharp. This creamy base will not only help our shadow stay in place, it will increase the bold pigment we place on top!
4 Press a green eyeshadow directly on top of the creamy base for strong saturated colour.
5 Use a cream eyeliner to line your upper lash line and trace through the crease around the shape you created with your shadow. Take the time to perfect your lines.
6 Use your cream eyeliner to draw a straight line under the lower lashes winged it out on both ends and keeping the gaps open on both the inner and outer corners.
7 Blend the bottom edges of your black eyeliner down and out with a black eyeshadow. Blend your original green shadow along the edge of the lower liner as well.
8 Use a glitter adhesive to apply a light green glitter to the centre of the eye, and a darker green glitter on the outer and inner thirds of the eye.
9 Blend a white cream shadow under the brow, on the inner corners of the eye, and to sharpen the edges of your flicks on the outer corners. Apply this to the waterline to further open the eyes.
10 Apply a light coat of mascara and long wispy lashes.
11 Lightly coat the lips with a neutral lip gloss!

IMATS Makeup

I had an awesome time at IMATS this past weekend and thought I'd share with you guys the makeup that I wore! I wore all black with silver accessories and decided to really go for it with bright pinks and bold shapes for my makeup! Hope you guys enjoy it!

1 Apply shadow primer all over the lid and then apply a cream colour in the shape you want on the lid as a base. We're going to be using strong colours and glitter that could have a lot of fall out so doing the eyes first will make clean up a lot easier.

2 Press a hot pink shadow in a winged shape on top of your cream base. 

4 Apply glitter in a complimentary shade on top of the shadow to make it super sparkly!

5 Use a cream, liquid or cake liner to trace a long the upper lash line and around the winged shape you created. Take your time and work in small strokes to perfect your lines.

6 Apply a light coat of mascara before applying full feathery lashes to the upper lash line.

7 Clean up any fallen shadow or glitter under the eyes and on the cheeks with makeup remover before applying your foundation all over and concealer in area's of concern. Set with a translucent powder.

8Buff a bronzer through the backs of the cheeks, temples and hairline to warm up the complexion and contour the face.

9 Pop a bright pink blush high on the apples of the cheeks.

10 Finish by applying a bubble gum pink lip gloss to the lips to keep with the monochromatic theme of pink pink pink!
