One of my favourite bloggers Zoe recently hit the 2000 follower mark. Congratulations girlie! :D
To celebrate she is having a Diamond themed contest and this is my entry for it.
I find diamonds to be very glamourous and when I think of them , I think Sparkly and girly, so I created this look based on that.
Make-up Breakdown
Eyes
Eyes
I primed my eyes with Too Face Shadow Insurance as usual. I then followed by basing the lid with a greyish/black shadestick (MACs Sharksin).
Using a flat shading brush, a matte purple eyeshadow (MACs Shadow lady) was applied all over the lid and slightly blended into the crease.
To add sparkle, I followed with a purple pigment (Radio Waves by Facefront) sweeping it into my crease and blending it upward toward the brow bone.
My brow bone, temples and cheek plain, were highlighted using MACs Filament.
For even more sparkle, I applied a glittery silver gel liner (Collection 2000's Glam Crystals in Glitz) to my lower lash line and drew tiny stars and dots on my temples.
I finished off with a bit of mascara and false eyelashes.
Face
I stippled on my cream foundation (MACs Studio Tech) using a duo fibre brush and finished it with my MSF foundation. I blushed on a light peachy pink mousse blush (Maybelline Dream Mousse in Peach Satin).
