New Years Eve look for SayNoGirl

A very long time ago, I promised SayNo a look for today, and I never really had the time to do it because this isn't a look you can wear during the normal work/school-day. I used darker colours then I normally would on my skin because she's got a darker skin tone then I have.

But I did do it yesterday and here is the look I came up with:

Here's a quick how-to. It's not as detailed as usual, but it should be enough to recreate it.

- I started with a clean and scrubbed face that had been moisturized.
- Next you prime your face (I used Smashbox, Photo Finish UVA/UVB SPF 15 with dermaxyl complex) and your eyelids (Urban Decay, Eye Shadow Primer potion).
- Make your face look flawless with a great foundation (Smashbox, High Definition Healthy FX Foundation with UVA/UVB SPF 15 Oil-Free - Light L3), concealer (Smashbox, Camera Ready Concealer - 3.0) with a concealer brush (Smashbox, no. 4), , brightener (Smashbox, Photo Op - Under Eye Brightener), and powder when happy with your canvas (Make Up For Ever, High Definition Powder) with a brush (Sephora, Mineral Powder Brush - no. 45).
- Prepare your eyes for day wear with a shimmering gold. I've been addicted to Bourjois Shimmering Shine Liquid Eyeshadow because it's very shiny and I already have 4 colours so far. The colour I used here was 31 molecule d'or. For the day this is very pretty and this doesn't crease (let it dry before opening your eyes the first time after applying).

Just add some mascara and you have a very easy day look.
- I did a quick eye line in a gold colour (I used Urban Decay, 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Honey to make the colour pop even more and also used this on my lower lash line for a golden "halo".

If you want a daytime look that's a little more spunky for today, add the mascara now and draw a prettier line then I did, I did it roughly because I'm taking the look directly to the final eye.
- Over the gold eyeliner and under my brows I built on the gold with gold eyeshadow. (Urban Decay, DeLuxe Eyeshadow - Honey) with a Shadow Brush (Smashbox, no. 26).

- At this point make your eyebrows look amazing, if possible make them a little darker because the black will blend up pretty high and you don't want the eyebrow to not stand out.
- Now the more difficult part of this eye starts. I took cream eyeliner (Smashbox, Caviar) with a dome brush (Smashbox, no. 15 definer brush) in my crease, I used more at the base and blended it up with the same brush and less pressure the higher I got. This looks very wrong when you start the line, but trust me, it's all in the blending take your time.
In the deepest part of the crease, darken it even more with some black matte eyeshadow (Rimmel London, Colour Rush in 214).

Because of the Bourjois under and the eyeshadow over the cream eyeliner it won't budge.
- Now, I lined my waterlines with a waterproof eye liner (Smashbox, JetSet in Midnight Black & Smashbox, no. 20 Smudge Brush). I also made a line on my lash line at the top only because this will make the false lashes look more real (Smashbox, no. 21 arched liner brush), even though they're amazingly fake because they're feather lashes.
- I curled my lashes (Shu Uemura) and gave them one coat of mascara (Dior, Diorshow - Waterproof 090 Black) because I want to use these lashes again one day and if you put on the lashes and then use mascara you can't. Also the lashes I'm using now are feather lashes so blending the lashes with the falsies is not possible.

You can leave it like it is now, orrr you can add false lashes....
- Now I used the glue that came with the lashes to put these great feather lashes on my eyes. I used Essence Lash Mania lashes in 03 Show off! Make Up For Ever has similar lashes.
