Another silver look!

Blimey, I haven't posted on here for over a week, oops!

Been a busy ol' time with bookings in the evening and weekend including my first wedding of the year.
Luckily for the bride, it was lovely and sunny on Saturday and she and her husband both looked gorgeous. Looking forward to seeing their pics soon.

The look today was inspired by Susannah Reid from BBC Breakfast, who I think carries off silver eyes very well. I've done a silver eye look before but it was quite heavy and smokey and I'd been wanting to do something a bit more daytime wearable.

To create a dewy base, I added some of Illamasqua's Furore pigment to their Skin Base foundation. It dries it out a little but with my oily skin that's no bad thing! To add warmth to the eyes I contoured with grey and plum and also ran the same shades underneath my eyes. I finished up with my Sleek Mystic lippy.

I did a quick shop this morning and brought this FAB lipstick so obviously HAD to try it out.

The lipstick is Mystic by Sleek Make UP - it's a matte, long lasting colour but unlike many it's not drying as it contains added Vitamin E. I only have one coat on here and it stayed put all afternoon.

I wanted polished a makeup look but not too heavy so I kept my eye makeup to a minimum and added drama with brown eyeliner and my Bourjois Added Volume False Lashes. I think this would be a really fun bridesmaid or even bridal look.

I achieved this entire look using almost only high street brands so it's a very affordable look. Check under the image for a list of all the products used...
