Think Pink!

Hi Tory,

The drawback with pink eyeshadow is that it can make you look like you've been punched, have an infection, or are suffering from a human form of Myxomatosis... which is not a good look. I've vamped it up a bit here by blending it with a base of chocolate brown to give a lovely plummy/burgundy colour, and then lined the eyes with a warm brown to offset the pink even further.

Go pink with pride!

Forties Glam!

Hi Tory,

As requested, here's a polished and glamorous look for you to try out for when you go off to your day job at the Imperial War Museum! (The eyebrows look a bit Angry Birds on camera - sorry about that!)

There really aren't a lot of products involved as it's more about polish and presentation than out and out colour, and because of the scarcity of cosmetics during the war they tended to keep things simple.

Products Used

  • Urban Decay Primer Potion (Makeup Academy also do one)
  • there really aren't a lot of products involved as it's more about polish and presentation
  • Makeup Academy Intense Colour Pencil in Rich Brown
  • Makeup Academy Matt Eyeshadow in Shade 17
  • Makeup Academy Intense Colour Pencil in Black
  • (Recommended) Maybelline Great Lash Mascara in Black
  • Makeup Academy Blusher in Shade 2
  • MAC Viva Glam in Cyndi Lauper

Stock up on chocolate and stockings! :)

Hugs and kisses,

Peacock Eye

Hi Tory,

Okay - here's what I like to call my Peacock Eye, and what James refers to as The Bluebottle Eye... it's a three-colour technique which is all about the blending, and you can use any three colours that you like.

Products Used

  • Body Shop Quickshadow in Instant Indigo: discontinued, so any dusky navy would do :)
  • Makeup Academy Pearl Eyeshadow in Shade 5
  • a three-colour technique which is all about the blending
  • Makeup Academy Pearl Eyeshadow in Shade 8
  • Makeup Academy Intense Colour Eyeliner in Jet Black: can't find a direct link, but it's in the £1 range :)
  • Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara in Waterproof Black

This'd look really good with three neutrals for daytime, or maybe go wild with purples! Have fun :)

Hugs and kisses,
xxx
