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.

Pretty in Pink

Today I wanted to wear my Sleek Mystic lipstick as it's one of my favourites and I haven't worn it for a while. I did a look with it before so I wanted to do something a bit different but still keep it simple and wearable.

I don't usually wear gold on my eyes but I used the light gold from my Illamasqua Complement Palette on a client at the weekend and was dying to see what it would look like on my eyes. I then lined the top lashes with my Maybeline black gel liner and softly smudged some brown eye shadow under the bottom lashes. 

I added a peachy pink blush (a mixture of Bourjois Peach & Chanel Rose Initial) and then lightly applied my Mystic lippy with Illume lipgloss by Smashbox dabbed over the top.

I think it's a pretty, summery look that would be great for a wedding guest or bridesmaid.
