Shimmer

Ever since I was a little girl, I would love to watch TV shows where they would show some make-up tutorials demonstrated by various make-up artists in Pakistan. When I finally had a grasp of eye shadows, I would experiment with them (even though I would sometimes, literally end up going to parties looking like a clown!). However, the famous saying 'practise makes perfect' is what I abided by for several years, until I managed to blend and make use of different shades, perfectly.

Considering I don't tend to use shimmery colours much, I decided to try them out for the first time. Here's how I created the look:

Things you will need:

• Moisturizer
• Foundation
• Eye shadow brushes: 3
• Black eye pencil
• Black mascara
• Eye shadow palette: I used the BH Cosmetics 120 shades eye shadow palette-2nd Edition.

Method:

• First, moisturize your skin thoroughly with a commendable moisturizer. Let it settle on your skin.
• Apply foundation with your fingers on the lid as well as around the eye (upper and lower lids). The foundation enables the shadow to stay intact for a longer amount of time.
• Apply a shimmery gold all over the lid, as well as in the inner corner of the eye. With a separate eye shadow brush, blend the gold shadow, thoroughly.
• Apply a shimmery pink all over the crease, and the outer corner of the eye blending it really well; once again, with a separate blending brush.
• For contrast, I also applied a small amount of dark purple shadow on the outer corner of the eye, and blended it in with the pink colour.
• Once, the eye shadows were blended and settled, black mascara was applied on the lashes.
• Finally, black kohl pencil was used all over the water line, which was also used to apply the liner.

Overall, this look goes well with red lipstick and a rosey pink blush! Hope you try it out, and let me know your opinions! Cheers!
