Black and Gold

Even though I adore my blue and green eyeshadows, I wanted to wear something different for work today. So I chose a lovely gold and black combination with glittery black eye liner. This is what I used......


Urban Decay palette, Maybelline Lash Stiletto mascara, Collection 2000 Glam Crystal eyeliner (7) and Maxfactor Smoky Eye Effect.


I started off by applying the silver shade of the Smoky Eye Effect all over my eyelids to create a base. Next I applied the gold shadow from the platte (Maui Wowie) on the inner corner to the middle of the eye lid.


I applied the black shadow (oil slick) on the outer corner, blending the gold over the top. I didn't want the black to be too obvious, I only wanted it to peak through. To finish I applied the black glitter eyeliner to the upper lash line, curled my lashes and applied mascara. This is how it turned out. 





Looking at these pictures, I am thinking that perhaps I should have lined my lower lash line too, hmmmm

  2. Maui Wowie is my favourite colour from that palette but somehow on my skin it comes out more green/gold rather than the gold/gold you got. Your eye makeup looks really nice, and no you didn't need to line the lower lashline, it's good as it is!

  4. LC - Aw thankyou for your kind comment, hee hee yes they are real, though I do really want to try falsies just to see how I get on :-) xx

    Makeup and Macaroons - I find if you apply the gold with a damp brush the colour looks brighter if that helps :-) Aw thanks, I am not that good at applying on the lower lash line at the mo, I think sometimes it can make me look a bit tired! xx

    Femputer - Thanks very much I also want to try gold and silver, or gold and grey to see how that looks.

    Thanks ladies for all your kind words :-) xxx
