Soft Neutral Smokey Eye Makeup Tutorial


I recently published this instagram photo and some of you lovely ladies asked me to film a tutorial for the makeup look I was wearing, which is what I have for you today. My eye makeup look is slightly different, because I don't remember all the shades that I used the first time around, and I also toned down the intensity. On purpose. When I film a video knowing I won't be going outside that day, I always put on a few extra layers. My studio lights tend to 'absorb' makeup, meaning it always turns out less intense on camera than it actually is in real life, which is why I allow myself to be heavy-handed sometimes. But when I know I'll be walking around in public afterwards, I tone it down a notch to avoid the noticable cakyess and potential weird looks. Hence why this makeup tutorial turned out a bit meh. It's annoying, but let's roll with it, haha. When I was trying to come up with a new, appropriate title for the look, I asked my sister for suggestions, and she described it as the 'I'm going out with friends but I'm going home before they hit the club, because I'm way underdressed' look. While the title didn't make the cut, being a wee bit too long, I think she was spot on. Where would you wear this look?

Simple Neutral Eyes & Bold Lips Makeup Tutorial


Guess who managed to stay in focus throughout the whole video this time? Yup, me! I feel so proud of myself, haha. This video is a tutorial for the makeup look I was wearing back in my London Fashion Haul video. One of my viewers requested it, and I thought now would be the perfect time to put it up, since spring is approaching and bright lip colours are coming back. Lady Danger by MAC will definitly be my lipstick shade of choice this season. Do you already know which lipstick you will be rocking this spring?

P.S. If you're from Slovenia, where we can't get MAC, and you're looking for a similar shade of lipstick, you can check out Etude House's Vivid Pop Stick in shade number 7 in my online store. It's pretty much identical. 

As the main focus of this look is a bright bold lip shade, I decided to keep it neutral and minimal on the eyes and used Wet'n'Wild's Walking on Eggshells Palette. Such an amazing (American) drugstore gem! But more about it in one of my upcoming posts where I'll give you the full review along with swatches. For now, you can see it in action in the video below! :)
