Cara Delevingne Brown Smokey Eye Makeup Breakdown

 
 
 
This is a fairly simple makeup with a really lovely result I love this look and have been wearing it nonstop. all you need is four matte brown shades that flow in a gradient effect like O'mbre actually exactly like O'mbre so on the eye it will be darkest to lightest starting on the lash line and working up. I am using my favorite eye shadows Urban decay there super pigmented and blend really easy I'm using Naked, Faint, Secret Service and Walk of Shame. Start off with priming your lids and filling in your brows if you like sweep and flesh colored shadow over the whole lid to set the primer and avoid skipping. take a large fluffy blending brush and naked and buff that on your crease but not really in the fold where the lid and crease meet just up a little higher blend really well. Now using Faint and a pointed crease brush or a blending brush like the Bdellium Tools 776 put that in the crease the actual fold blending it down onto the lid a little bit and up into Naked to fuse them together. With a small flat shader brush take Secret Service and pat that on the lid staying out of the crease taking just a little little bit of Faint run that through the crease one more time to blend Secret Service. For a brow bone highlight sweep Walk of Shame there and the tear duct to give a more open look to the eye. For eye liner I like making my outer corner a little thick and making it thinner going towards the tear duct or you could do a small not to dramatic or bold cat eye line the water line as well and line the flap of skin on the top lid underneath the lashes only the thick part that will help give your eye an upturned effect. Apply lots and lots of mascara or false lashes if you want. Use your favorite bronzer and a soft warm light peach blush like Kat Von D Wish Blush highlight your cheek bones if you want. For lips I suggest a glossy lip balm or a "my lips but better" color.   
 
 
P.S. I tried to take swatch pics on my arm but they just didn't show up right on my arm with the lighting in my room so that's why there on a tissue.

Beautifully Disney

The Disney Corporation has come out with a great little cosmetics line available I know for sure at Orlando and Anaheim parks not sure about the others. The line is called Beautifully Disney and it has nail polish, lip gloss, eyeshadow quads, compacts and makeup bags. Right now its the Wickedly Beautiful line with is Cinderella and her evil stepmother, Sleeping Beauty and Maleficent, Ariel and Ursula, Snow White and the Evil Queen. The next collection is Unlock the Spell Spring / Summer 2013 this collection is Princess and the Frog and the last is Fiery Spirit Fall / Winter 2013 and it is Pocahontas. I only picked up one thing and it is The little mermaid lip gloss in Mysterious Mermaid Is on the thinner side which I prefer and it smells really good like cherry. So all in all I'm enjoying my purchase I emailed Disney to see if Beautifully Disney is Cruelty free (I sure hope so).

XOXO Brooke.

Black Heart Cosmetics

A new store opened in my local mall called Black Heart it is a sister store to Hot Topic and Torrid, Black Heart is mostly lingerie but they do have close there too. It is definitely has a rock and roll punk feel which I love but what I noticed is that it had a really nice selection of beauty products while looking at the label I saw that it said cruelty free on the back I was so excited I only bought one product to see if they products were even good so I bought a mermaid teal colored glitter eyeliner and its so nice and such a pretty color to boot. I'm definitely gonna try more products I'm gonna buy there eye primer and a shadow quad next. 


XOXO, Brooke
