Christmas Day Eye Makeup :)

Hey guys, today i will be showing you what eye makeup i am going to be wearing on Christmas Day. The picture that i have taken doesn't really do the look justice but i promise i looked good in person and this was the best picture that i had of the look. I use 2 different palettes for this look as well as eyeliner and mascara. I will be showing you all of the products i used for the look as well as telling you how i did this. Hope you enjoy :).

So first off, this is what the eye makeup looks like, on the lid it is a gold shadow that has a shimmer to it mixed in with a nice smokey eye and winged liner. When i have my eyes open fully it looks like an ordinary smokey eye but when i close them that's when you get too see the gold sparkle. I promise you it looks better in person and you can really see the smokey eye with the nice shimmer. 

So first off i just primed my eyes, but because i don't actually have any eye primer i just use my wake me up concealer by Rimmel in the shade classic beige, i put this all over the lid, under my brow and under my eye, i then blend that out with a tapered kabuki brush.

Next i go in with my Makeup Revolution essential mattes palette. Yes this palette is well used and i have hit pan and i will be using the ones i have hit pan on...what a surprise haha. The first darker shade that i have hit pan on is the shade that i use to get started. I use this shade as my transition shade. I then go in with the medium brown (the second one in the picture below) I use this to define my crease and make it a little darker. After i am happy with how my crease looks i then use the dark brown in the picture below and i put this on my outer corner and just blend it into the crease. Because the middle of my eye is bare i then go in with the lightest colour and blend that in. I also used the medium brown shade under my eyes on my lash line. 

After i am happy with how the smokey eye looks, it is then time for the gold! I used my new MUA Twelfth night winter shades palette, i used this because i wanted to try out the colours and see how they look and trust me, they are good!

So first off i went in with the top golden brown shade, this is just so that i have the pigment on there and it gives the eye that extra bit of gold. Once that is all blended in i use the other gold shadow which is a lot more glittery than the first one. I started to just pat that onto my lid, but then i decided to dampen my brush and then go back in with it. I am so happy that i did that because the application is much easier and it also looks a lot more pigmented and sparkly. Once the gold was on the lid i then used the middle silver shade...because why not? haha i sort of used this as a highlight and just to add a bit more sparkle. 

Once i was happy with it after i blended it out i then went in with a nice light shimmer shade from the same palette. I used the first two shades from this palette as you can see in the picture. I mixed these both together and applied them to my inner corners and just a little under the eye and blended it out a little. I also added a tad of this to my brow bone just to make it stand out.

When i was happy with how my eye looked i then went in with my liquid eyeliner. I use the one by 2true, this product is only cheap and you can't go wrong with it.  First off i started with the wing, just to make sure that was right, when i was happy with it i drew a thin line along my top lash line and then connected it to the wing. When using this product or any other liquid eyeliner, be sure not to open your eye straight after application because it will transfer onto the lid as it will not be dry and yes i am speaking from experience haha.

As you will probably all know i do use a lot of mascara because i am not blessed with amazing lashes...unfortunately.  First off i use the pink one which is MUA's Mega volume, this is the one that i also apply to my bottom lashes because the brush is a lot thinner than the other ones and it is a lot easier to use for the bottom lashes. Next i go in with the middle black one which is the Makeup Revolution Amazing volume and i only apply that to the top lashes and lastly for the curl i use Makeup Revolutions Amazing Curl mascara. I think that all of these work great together, my lashes don't go all clumpy and it looks nice and it does stay curled. 

I then clean up any of the fall out and go over with some concealer just to define the wing a bit and just to make it all nice and tidy. Then i finish off with completing my face makeup and then that is it.

I hope you like the look and i would also love to see what makeup looks you will be rocking on Christmas Day. As always feel free to leave a comment down below with your opinions :)
