Peacock Inspired Eye Look / Inspired by Himani Wright (indianyoutuber)

Hey guys,

I did this Peacock inspired eye look after watching Himani Wright do her version for Janmashtami on Youtube. You can check her video out here.

Products Used: 

Too Faced Shadow Insurance Primer

Gold yellow colour from the Lakme quad in Tanjore Rush

Green pigment from accessorize

Blue eyeshadow from Inglot Rainbow eyeshadow 127R

Purple eyeshadow from the Lakme quad in Tanjore Rush

Crease colour Inglot 450 pearl ( reddish plum)

Revlon pencil eyeliner in 15 aqua blue

Rimmel Sexy Curves mascara

How to :

 Apply the eyeshadow primer as we want the colours to pop. Then apply the gold shade to the inner part of the lid, tear duct and inner lower lid. Next apply the green shade next to the yellow and blend the colours together. Same way apply the blue and purple and blend the colours into one another. Taking the crease colour on a fluffy brush blend the crease and outer v of the eye. Follow the same colour scheme on the lower lid. Line the waterline and top lashline using a blue eyeliner. Curl lashes, apply mascara and your done!

I hope you liked my recreation of Himani's look. I know it is no where as good as hers but I just had to work with what I already had in my collection. If you did like this post then please forward it to people who might be interested in doing a similar look.

Thank you so much for your support guys.

Love,

Reshma.

Purple smokey eye

Hey guys,

I am back again with a dramatic smokey eye look perfect for the weekend. I did this look for a party I attended on saturday night and thought I could take some pictures and show you how I did it.

I used 3 eyeshadows for this look and they are

Inglot 73

MAC Sketch

MAC Texture

I also used a tiny bit of a shimmery pink highlight shade for the brow bone and inner tear duct.

I applied Inglot 73 to 2/3rds of my lid from the inner corner and also stayed below the crease.

MAC Sketch went to the outer 1/3rd of the lid and also used it to blend the two colours in the crease.

Above the crease I used MAC Texture to create a soft transition.

Applied the Inglot shade and Sketch to the lower lashline to connect with the upper eye and give a smokey effect.

I applied the highlight shade to the brow bone, only on the highest point of the brow and blended it either way. 

Using the same shade I applied a tiny bit to the inner corner of the eye to brighten it up.

Lined my lash line with Maybelline Stilleto eyeliner and applied False Eyelashes from Eyelene in Darling Defining which I bought from BigW. 

Then used Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara to blend my real lashes with the false ones.

I think purples look great on brown eyes and I always tend to prefer purple over black smokey eyes. I hope you enjoyed this look and do let me know if you ever try it out. I would love to see how it turned out for you.

Copper Gold Eye Makeup recreating Niesha Jeenwal's look

Hey guys,

This is my take on Niesha Jeenwal's Copper Gold eye look that she posted a few days ago. You can see her look here. It is a very versatile look for Indian festivals as it incorporates the metallic colors of gold, copper and red. Also instead of eyeshadow I used pigments as I wanted to try something different. Pigments are very messy to work with but I used Duraline to keep them from falling everywhere.

Products I used are :

Inglot Pigment in 78 which is a bronze gold in the inner 1/3rd of the lid

Inglot Pigment in 25 which is a copper on the middle of the lid

Inglot Pigment in 54 which is a maroonish red on the outer 3rd of the lid

Inglot Duraline

MAC Texture eyeshadow to blend the eyeshadows in the crease

Maybelline Stiletto eyeliner in Black

Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara

Ditch the Black, get some colour on your eye.

Hey guys,

How many of you have actually tried to ditch the black eye liner and go colorful for a day? If you have, way to go babe!!! Today's look is all about getting out of your comfort zone and adding some color to your eye make up. I know it is very intimidating to go out during the day with colorful eyeshadow on your eye, but you can start getting comfortable by going step by step. 

The products I used will be listed below the post. I would definitely rock this look to work. But if it is a lot for you, just be a little gentle on the flick. You can also line only your upper lash line for a less dramatic look. On medium skin tones and brown eyes, dark blue, green and purple eyeliners look beautiful. I am scared of color too but I am branching out and trying to incorporate color in my everyday looks. This is a simple way to add color without going overboard.

I have used Mac Flip eyeshadow all over my eyelid up to the brow bone. Then I added Mac Texture to the outer V and crease of my eye. These two eyeshadows are my go to eyeshadows everyday, it gives a soft natural look. Instead of using a black eyeliner, I used Inglot gel eye liner in 75 which is a dark indigo purple and topped it with Inglot pigment in 38 which is a translucent white with blue reflects. If you have a blue pencil or gel eyeliner you can use that. I didn't have any thus had to make my own. I also added that same pigment to the inner tear duct for some brightness to my eyes. Curled my lashes and applied one coat of Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara. 

Taddaaaa!! That's the finished look.

Inglot Lip Paint and Gloss duo in 17

So you guys already know I love my lip products so I thought I shall add one more to my most loved list. The Inglot lip paints are one of the most amazing things I have ever come across. It feels like a lipstick but shows up like a pigmented gloss. Its just phenomenal how good it makes you look.

The duo I have is in the number 17 which has one lip paint and one gloss. I have not tried the gloss yet but I did wear the lip paint to an event once and everyone complimented my lips.

I love the formulation of this lip paint as it makes your lips look super glossy but is never sticky.

(White light)

(Yellow light)

Pigmentation wise also this lip paint is amazing. The colour in the tub is whats on the lips. If you are like me who hates lip glosses simply because they are sticky then these are for you. I wore this for about 3 hours without eating or drinking and it stayed put. I had a drink after that and the shine did come off a little but there was a lipstick like stain left which came off after dinner. So this is not a long wearing lip product but that is with any lipstick or gloss anyways ( unless they are those extremely drying lip products). 

After the stain came off I did not feel any dryness or flakyness on my lips. They were just normal so I guess its the moisture from this product that stays. I bought this from Inglot for $12.50 as it was on a 50% off sale but usually it retails for $25.

Pros : 

Glossy but not sticky

Amazing pigmentation

Does not bleed without a lip pencil

Packaging is sturdy will not open in the makeup bag

Does not show fine lines of the lips

Cons:

Pricey

Need to carry a lip brush and mirror to reapply

Can melt in the heat and get all messy

Packaging can break if fallen down with force

Low staying power

Overall I personally love this product. I would recommend going in store and checking them out. Im sure if you try one you will go back for more.

Ps: any product with a red dot sticker on it is usually 50% off in the store.

If you have tried the lip paints let me know what you think of it

Weekend haul

Hey guys,

Sorry for being away for a long time now, was juggling work and home and hardly found time for myself. So I thought why not go shopping and treat myself. These items were bought with my own money and I absolutely love them!

I bought Mac's Blush in Blunt which is a dark brown contour colour. I had heard very good things about this and when I went into the Mac store in Australia a few months ago they didn't even know this shade existed. So when I saw it in store yesterday I caved in and bought it.

The next two things are from Inglot. The first one is a cream blush in 83 and the second one is a lip paint in 64.

I have been loving cream blushes for the winter and I hardly have any so I bought this. It is a pretty peachy pink and looks very natural when on.

The next thing is this lip paint in number 64. Now I must say, I hate lipglosses but these lip paints are the bomb! I bought this red coral shade which looks gorgeous on the lips and doesn't stick ( the best part ) I hate anything that makes my lips stick to each other. Also both these products were 50% off so that was a bargain too. ( Inglot always has some products at 50% off when they have too much stock of that item)

Hope you guys enjoyed my little haul.

Do let me know if you have tried any of these products and if you like them or not.

Love!
