So... This makeup look is going to be probably the most dramatic one that I have come up with for one of these posts. There isn't much to say about it apart from, you're gonna have to reach for your darkest eye shadows and lipsticks!
Like the last makeup look I did, this one also includes a bit more makeup than I usually do which is just some sort of eye makeup and something on the lips. This time, I'm going to use my new Sleek Blush By 3 Palette from their Limited Nautical Collection Edition that I bought on my Westfield haul. If you want to go check it out a bit more then you can go to my previous post which is called something like My Shopping Haul in Westfield (I never actually check what I called them... so yeah!).
I am only going to use the darkest shade because the other's are too light for this look I think. You only need to put a tiny amount (I mean it - I put too much on before and it looked horrible!) of it on a normal blusher brush and your going to tap it on at first on the apples of your cheeks. Then you can gradually blend it out. Not too much! Otherwise you will end up looking like I did when I first tried it out!
I guess I should've done the bronzer before my blush? I don't know, I'm not exactly a makeup genius - I just experiment with it! Anyway, whether you did it before or after the blush it does not matter, do your own thing, I don't care! Back to point... Put some bronzer just underneath your cheeks and along your jawline (something like that - I can't explain! Just contour!) I used the Colour Couture Bronzer that I got from a set but it doesn't matter what bronzer you use.
I wanted to number the colours I'm using again because I think it makes it so much easier, doesn't it? Anyway, first of all, I brushed the shade Lust in LA all over your eye lid, which is a kind of dark gold (? I don't know how to explain it... it's a metallic metal of some kind! If you have the Sleek Vintage Romance Palette then please tell me what you think it is in the comments because I have no idea!) Then as I've been telling you to do in probably all of my other makeup posts, put the second shade in the corner of your lid which in this case is Love in London (oh, look at me and all my shades having cities beginning with L's!), it is the black shade with little specks of silver shimmer in.
After you have done your eyes, now you can do your lashes. The mascara that I have used is Waterproof Wonder'Full mascara by Rimmel London (that I also got from my Westfield shopping haul) because it gives a bit more volume which makes the eyes look more dramatic.
Now, for the lipstick or lip gloss! The whole point of this makeup look is for the lips to be the main feature. I think that these colours are the best because they are very rich, deep and a dark burgundy. I don't think it matters whether you choose to use a lipstick or a lip gloss but if you do use a lip gloss then it is a good idea to have one that is very pigmented. The lipstick I used is from the Ultra Lasting collection from Avon in the colour Berry Blaze and the lip gloss is from a huge ColourWorks set I got a while ago so I don't know what colour it is but it is slightly more red-toned than the lipstick.
That was all for this post, I hope you liked it. I will be posting something very holiday-y during the week so stay tuned! But for now, post soon xx
**Have you seen One Direction's Drag Me Down video? It is so cool! It was filmed at NASA Space Station and they were in astronaut suits and there were robots - I've already forced my friends and family into watching it so if you haven't watched it, you need to watch it!**
Thinking about buying more Sleek makeup! <3
