FOTD - All that Glitters...

FOTD - All that Glitters...

Isn't glitter. Not in this case, anyway - it's Barry M dazzle dust in 44, which is just as pretty! Today I wanted to create a 'glamorous but everyday proof' look which would be just as suited to popping to the cinema with your mates as going to a formal evening event. Simple and understated with a golden glow.

[[ Layering metallics over black = instant win. ]]

 [[ Camera wasn't a big fan of focusing properly today :/ ]]

EYES - TFSI, Gosh black eyeliner, Yaby black eyeshadow, Barry M 44 (golden bronzey shade), mascara.

FACE - Gosh foundation primer, Kryolan Ultra Foundation (as concealer), a mix of three foundations, Rimmel powder, Ben Nye blush and Sleek 'Peach Glo' palette.

LIPS - Shu Uemura BG 942, Fyrinnae 'Lace Gloves'

Hands down the easiest method to achieve a smokey eye - Prime, line upper lashes with black pencil, smudge pencil upwards, apply shadow over the top, blend, apply mascara. DONE. Literally takes five minutes if your pencil is smudgy enough, mine wasn't so I used some black eyeshadow to aid in the process :)

How do you wear metallics? Is there a way to wear them on the lips without looking like a 90's club kid?
