April's Make-Up
I am one to get into a make-up habit as such, when I experiment if I find something I really like I often do it a lot for the next couple of weeks. The past few weeks I have been loving a smoky sparkly grey look, I personally find I can wear this both in the day and night, though it is more suited to a night-time look.
For the eyes:
Step 1 - Prime the eye area. I used a sparkly primer (Too Faced Shadow Insurance in Candlelight) to add to the sparkle, but any would do.
Step 2 - The first eye-liner. The first I used is a thick eye-liner pencil (Benefit BAD gal smoldering black eye pencil), I apply a thick line of this getting thicker at the outer corner of my eye and winging very slightly. Then I take a cotton bud and blend this out.
Step 3 - I then apply a thin line of a felt-tip liquid eye-liner (Bourjois Liner Feutre in Ultra Black) to the upper lash line.
Step 4 - For my lower lash line I use a smaller eye-liner pencil (Rimmel London Soft Kohl in Jet Black 06) to make a fairly thick line (I do not use this on my water line due to having sensitive eyes).
Here is where I would add fake lashes if I was going out at night.
Step 5 - Eye shadow time! For this look it is fairly simple, I used too Bourjois products, one of their new Light Round Pot LIGHT in 01 a shimmery golden white and No. 25 a grey silver glitter colour. I place the grey over the black eye-liner on my upper lash line, the darker you make it the more night time suitable it becomes. Then placing the shimmery white all over the lid and in the inner corner.
Step 6 - Curl your lashes and apply mascara. I like to combine different mascaras. I used Max Factor False Lash Effect in Black, Diorshow BlackOut and Too Faced lashgasm.
For the rest of my face, I kept it simple.

With the holidays coming, I decided it was most definitely time to clear out my beauty stash! I admit to being a beauty hoarder! However, I know at Christmas time more always comes along, so with that in mind I decided to minimise(ish).
