Tutorial-Pink and purple eye look!

Happy Ganesh Chaturthi Everyone!!!!!!!!!! I am off to see various Ganpati's...!! :D

Okay..so here's my FIRST eye makeup tutorial I tried..which came out bad..I agree..I promise it will be better next time!! 

STEP ONE- Prime your eyes..I don't have a primer so I used my tinted moisteriser and then dabbed some loose powder on it... 

STEP 2- I applied a purple shadow first..more on the outer corner and lightly on the inner side..

STEP 3- Then I applied the pink shadow in the inner corner.

Then using a light brown shadow nearest to you skintone, blend in the colours in the crease properly... then apply liner, curl your lashes and apply mascara(which I didn't coz I didn't have one that time.. I bought one day before yesterday!! YAY! )

Now on to the final look..

What do you think about this post?? 

I think I am getting better day-by-day with the liquid liner! Woohoo!! ^_^

Red and brown winged eyeliner look!!

So it was raining cats and dogs here in Mumbai last weekend..as a result of which there was no college on monday!! All the local trains were cancelled...and no trains means no college!! 

So I ended up doing two eye looks that day..!! I was again trying to do them in the form of a tutorial..but I think I was doing it the wrong way..next time I'll keep the flash on and do it! :)

Here's the look which I did from my only palette left..which was the first one I got last november! :O And I should probably review the eye liner used coz I am loving it!! I am brushing up my eye liner skills..and it is from a local brand called Just Candy. I got it for 40INR!! 

Do tell me what you people think of this! :)

Then there were brands like Eyetex Dazzler, Diana of London, V.O.V..and some whose names I saw for the first time..But there was no Miss Claire.. :( Or maybe I missed it..hope it is there..

V.O.V Blue-turned-to-Purple NOTD!!!

Weird name  "Blue-turned-to-Purple" right? But yes..that's what happened..

I had taken a pretty pastel blue shade..and after like 4-5 months..I see it became a purple polish!! HOW in the world that happened..I don't know..But..the purple's pretty too!!! ;) :D

Here's the NOTD:

Here's the blue polish(the left most) earlier..

And now..dull but pretty purple..

Soft "shimmery" Purple Eye look!! Bad news, and a cry for help!

Hey there!! Hows your weekend going? Mine in pretty dull and boring..and I have a kinda bad news for those who wanted me to do eye makeup tutorials...But after the look!

yup..I know..should get a mascara!! :P

The palette..(one from a local brand Kiss Beauty) got all dirty..I think it expired..there were small fungus like things visible..on two of the shades!!! And one on them was the purple shadow!! O_o

But this look was done may be last month..or even before that..and I didn't use that palette foe quite a long time..So there it went..Tossed it directly in the bin!!
Here's the bad part..I won't be able to do the tutorials..unless I buy more shadows!! And I badly need to buy some..coz there's just one palette in my so-called-collection..

Please suggest some eye shadows, singles, palettes..anything..for me..(don't forget..I don't wanna burn a hole in my pocket! mostly drugstore would do..M saving money for it too!! )

Eye look using Miss Claire Glimmerstick in Denim Blue.

Here's a look in which I used my Miss Claire Glimmerstick in Denim Blue for lining my eyes.

Its a pretty simple pink and grey look..and I don't really know whether the blue liner looks good or not..
I just did it for fun!!

Do tell me what you guys think about this? :)

Maybelline Lip Smooth, Miss Claire eye pencils, etc. HAUL!!!
