3 nightime make up looks using e.l.f

I thought of doing a post in which i talk about night make up.So , we all know there are some looks that are not appropriate for day time , but they would go great in night time , whether you are going out to a party , or just to dinner , I found three looks from which you can choose.And , again , I took the libery to look through e.l.f 's products , and for every look i will list you the products you can use from e.l.f ,and i will tell you some tips for some of the proudcts  so you can get the perfect make up for night time.For all three looks the foundation routine is the same so:
1.The Studio Mineral Infused Face Primer.I don't reccomend this product for oily skin , because it's very oily , and even for the other types of skin , I recomend just half a pump and blend it well into the skin.If you have oily skin just do not use it.

2.The Complete Coverage Concelaer Palette in the colour that best suits you , apply it under your eyes . and on your blemishes.
3.The Studio Complexion Perfection , apply it on your redness , if you have any , or on any discoloration , it evens your skin , and it makes it ready for foundation.

3.The Mineral Foundation(if you have dry and maybe normal  skin you can use the Studio Flawless Finish Foundation,but i wouldn't reccomend it for people with oily skin) , in the colour that best suits you.
4.If you used the Studio Foundation , set it with the Studio High Deffinition Powder ,and if you used the Mineral Foundation set it with the Mineral Booster.It's not a rule , you can set it with whatever you have actually , it's just my personal opinion.

And now it's time to start the eye , cheeks , and lips make up.



1.The first look is a gorgeous brown smokey eye , with dark brownish redish looking lips , and with very flattering bronzed cheeks.This look works great for persons who don't want to over do it with colours , it's neutral but dramatic in the same time . it would look great for a late night dinner  , and combined with a chocolaty nail colour , and with an up do for the hair.
The products you need to use are:
EYES
From the Beauty Encyclopedia the Basic Eye edition , you can take the four colors from the first line , and create a classic smokey eye.Don't forget to take the first colour and put it into the inner corner , tear ducts and onto the browbone(under your eyebrows).Use the third colour and place it onto your lower lash line , use a black pencil into your water line and use the Black Studio Cream Eyeliner on your upper lash line .Use mascara on both your lower and upper lashes and for an intesified look you could apply Dramatic False Eyelashes.
CHEEKS
I got to tell you , this cheek make up looks just lovely , it's so glowy and bronzy and perfect for the look.
Take the Studio Golden/Warm Bronzer, swirl a Blush Brush into all the four colors ,tap off any excess and apply it as you would apply blush.Then with an ANGLED blush brush take only the fourth colour from the bronzer (the darkest)and work it underneath your cheek bones , contouring  for the slimmering effect of your cheeks.Without taking bronzer form the palette again , just with what you have left on your brush ,apply a little on the outer sides of your  forehead.Don't forget to blend well the colour into your skin .Blending is the first rule!Now tap off any excess or for a better application take a clean blush brush and take only the third colour (lightest) from the bronzer and apply it as a highlight on your cheeck bone , on your nose , on your chin and on your middle part of your forehead.Now take a big fluffy brush or a stippling brush and spray some mist&set on it , just a bit , and go with the brush and blend all of your bronzer , and highlight,This way you can set it AND get rid of that cakey powdery excess.There , gorgeous shimmery look!
I think the cheeks are THE thing in this look.Amazing!
LIPS
For your lips we want to achiece a brown/reddish colour so use a brown lipstick like The mineral Lipstick in Prime Plum and top it off with a  reddish gloss like the Luscious Liquid Lipstick in Ruby Slipper.












2.Second look we got is THE smokey eyes! It's dramatic , it's classic , and i would rock it with a sexy black dress and some burgundy or neutral or black or red pumps and some dark red nails and straightened hair.
EYES:
As you can see for the eyes we need black , and ladies we need a lot of black!My favourite product to use for a black smokey eye is The Brightening Eye colour quad in Drama , it has all the four colours you need.So using that quad , take the silver and apply it all over the lid , take the white and apply it into your inner corners , tear ducts and browbone , and take the black or the glittery black(your choice) and create the smokey eye effect .Use a greyish bluish eyeshadow on your lower lashline , I would reccomend  the dark blue from the Blue Moon quad , and a black liner in your water line.Top it off with the Studio Cream Eyeliner in Black and mascara.
Cheeks:
Because of the dramatic eyes and soon to be dramatic lips you need to keep it low with your cheeks , I would apply a rosy or coraly blush like The Radiance Blush in Innocence or the Studio Blush in Tickled Pink or Peachy Keen or even the blush from the Studio Blush&Bronzer Palette , but I wouldn't over do it.Some highlight on your cheeck bones , like the Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder in Luminance , or any shimmery highlight and you're good to go.
Lips:
O MY GOD! Isn't that  lip colour just amazing? I would pick the Mineral Lipstick in Cheerful Cherry or the  Lipstick from the normal line in Posh.
I think the lips are THE thing in this look , they re just gorgeous.



3.Third look is the cherry on the cake.This look is for those crazy girls out there , at the crazy parties , with the crazy attitude.Crazy eyes , crazy lips , gorgeous colours !
It's just perfect if you want to get out of the ordinary It would go best with a crazy nail colour like hot pink or light blue , and with wavy or even curly hair , and a colourfoulf head band , and some metallic earings.


EYES:
Ahhhh!We've got to love a pop of colour.And what pop! And what colour....Ok so for these eyes we need a crazy blue.I would reccomend The Mineral Eyeshadow in  Partier as a base and then on top of it lightly dust The Mineral Eyeshadow in Dreamy.Blend the colours..blend blend and blend .Put some shimerry white in the inner corner and on the browbone and blend it in the blue.Take a black liner and line your water line and use one coat of mascara.
I think the eyes are THE thing for this look.They are exactly what a girl need when she wants to stand out!
Cheecks:
For the cheecks apply a coraly peachy shimerry blush or bronzer.You can use The Studio Golden/Warm Bronzer , The Blush from the Studio Blush&Bronzer Palette , The Radiance Blush in Glow,  the Studio Blush in Candid Coral or the Mineral Blush in Coral.
Lips:
These lips are awesome.They look like bubble gum.You can use either the Mineral Lipstick in Runaway Pink , Nicely Nude or Party Pink , and top it off with a clear or glittery gloss like the Studio Minty Lipgloss in Seattle or Nashville , or any other lipgloss like that and you're good to go!




Ok dolls , I hope this wasn't too long , i hope you learnd something new , and i hope you re gonna use sometimes one of these looks !Please leave a comment telling me what you think.

Monthly favourites-August

Good morning ,  good evening or good whatever it is wherever you live!
I have been obsessing with this blog , even though you guys don't give me much feedback as in comments or tweets or requests of posts you'd wish to see on here , i am becoming more and more obsessed with sharing whatever i can share about make up and all that i know or i am starting to know ..whenerver i find out something new about make up the first thought that comes into my head is when can i access my blog and tell you guys about it...but let's quit the blabbing and start the informing...SO :
As one nice doll asked me to , i have decided to do a monthly favourties from now on ,reffering to beauty products and not only.
I know that august is long gone and september is almost at it's finish , but i will do my august favourites so that i can do my september at the end of...duh september , that way i can accumulate more information.
I'm gonna start my favourites with make-up(of course) and i am gonna separate them into categories.

1.EYES
First product i have been obsessed with it s Maybelline's colossal volume express , i swear to you guys this is the best mascara i have tried in my entire life.It gives your lashes volume , it separates them , it makes them long and black , and that is exactly what i am looking for when it comes to mascara.Next product would have to be e.l.f's Beauty Encyclopedia the basic eye edition.So...you guys , this thing has practically been my Bible(forgive me Father but i am a sinner)!I mean i've practically used this all august month and what's been from september , i really don't need anything else when it comes to eyeshadow.I can do my neutral eyes , my smokey eyes , my inverted crease eyes...this thing worths millions!Next product is deffinately the Cream Eyeliner from e.l.f in black , i mean , it's a greatttt gel liner , it does it's job , it stays on , it makes my eye pop , what else could i want?
2.FACE

My one and only foundation , Revlon Colourstay for oily skin has been my favourite in september , august , july , june , i think all the way back to last year!It's just perfect for me as I told you into this post too http://networkedblogs.com/nc7rI .
Another face product that I have been obsessed with in august would deffinately have to be e.l.f's Radiance blusher in glow , it's a nice peachy colour , it stays on all day and damn it's less than 2 bucks.


3.LIPS
My two products are e.l.f s mineral lipstick in nicely nude and the luscious liquid lipstick in strawberry.That's exactly the only two colours I ve been wearing all month , either one , either the other , and sometimes even one on top of the other , together they make this nice glowy corally peachy ligt coral that pretty much goes with everything.
4.BRUSHES
My favourites brush for the month of august has deffinately been the stippling brush from e.l.f s studio line.Because of my oily skin , becuz of the heat that was outside in august i really needed a good brush for my liquid foundation even though sometimes i was lazy and would have wished to just put it on with my fingers , I know that that way my foundation wouldn't stay long enough on.So yea the stippling brush does it's job , it blends your foundation very well into your skin , and it doesnt even require that much time to use it.
5.NAILPOLISHES
The three nailpolishes i am showing you come from a brand that you probably don't know cause it's from my country but they are deffinatelly dupes for O.P.I's:"Significant Other Colour"., "The IT Colour" and "Tasmanian Devil Made Me Do"and they re less than half the price and they stay on a long time.In august i have loved bright colours , i actually would love them all year long , but in autumn i like keeping it low , with bronzy and dark polishes .
Next things I am gonna talk about are not related to make up but they ve been my favourites in August so....
6.MOVIES:
Tell me it has been yours too!Harry Potter and the freakin Deathly Hallows part deux my darlings!I swear to you  people on my Beauty Encycopedia that this has to be my lifetime choice when it comes to movies,i will be old and i will still be re watching it!Yep I am totally an hp fan !I cried like a baby when it finished , becuz i have grew up watching it and now that it's over it means my growing up should be over too and i should be an adult and i am not at alll...but oh weell ..NEXT
7.TV SERIES


My favourite series , that i watched all the month of August , and believe me , it was long !Long , but epic, original and entertaining!And that is nothing else than Sex and the city my ladies!I mean , the fashion quantity and quality in this movie is just too much for someone like me to not watch
, and the story is so catchy too , but i'm a tv series girl so i think any interesting story is catchy for me.But again , the fashion , oh my lord!
8.MUSIC
I have picked three songs that i ve been obsessed with last month so
-sad song: Beyonce -Broken-hearted girl
-happy song: Selena Gomez-Love you like a lovesong
-party song-Pitbull feat Neyo-Give me eeeeeeeeeeeeverything!!!!
I love those songs ,  they made my month happier .
9.BOOKS:
My favourite book this month is deffinately Cosmopolitan's August edition...nah im joking lol , though i love Cosmopolitan too , my favourite book for august is Gone with the wind by Margaret Mitchell , i know, i know... I should have read that a looong time ago , but i didn't , BUT  i did now , and it deserved my time."With enough courage, you can do without a reputation. "-Rhett Butler in Gone with the Wind.....

I hope i didn't forgot any of the items i had in my head when i woke up , so yea those were my favourites , what are your favourites for August?
