M.O.T.D - Make up of the day
Ok so Im kinda playing on words but I really wanted to do a fresh fun make-up look today. I don't know what it is but I can never have my make-up the same every day as I get bored easily. My make-up looks reflect my mood and fashion that day whether I feel like a 40's hit ,heavy smoke or colour pop.
This morning the sun was shining and I was up early so I felt like doing something shimmery so the sun catches it but also adding a fun colour so this is what I came up with.
The best bit...It was done using Sleek only (except the eyeliner and lashes)
What I used
I used 2 palettes by Sleek make-up.
Original I-DIVINE and Chaos.
The Original
This is a high shine metallic palette full of beautiful M.A.C comparable eye shadows 12 in fact! If you were to fill a palette with 12 M.A.C shadows your looking at around £108.00 eeeeek.
Granted these are smaller but the pigment is very strong and the price well...I'll talk more on that. Now onto the other palette
Chaos
This palette is packed with colour and product, the matte shadows are amazing and perfect for adding depth (i prefer using matte shadows to create depth). Again fantastically priced and wonderfully thought out.
What I did
I have numbered the shadows in order of use.
- I used a flat brush a sigma 239 to be precise and applied the copper colour (No 1) to the centre of the eyelid.
- I then applied No 2( from the Chaos palette a matte brown shade) to the inner and outer corner of the eyelid.
- Buff the crease to soften slightly and bring the colours together then apply No 3 to the crease and blend upwards to the brow bone.
- Line the upper lash line and add mascara or lashes (I used M.A.C ones but I don't know number)
- For the lower lash line I used an angle brush and placed No4 along the whole lower lashline and applied No 5 on top to give a teal look. (No 4 is a gorgeous emerald green and No 5 is a bright aqua)
This is a close up
Many of you probably know about Sleek but those few who don't these palettes are a cheapy cheap price of £4.99!!! Yes wowzers trousers It's insane right.
I love them and can't wait to get more I just wish Boots stocked it so I could use me points :)
I bought these with my own money so you know I am genuinely chuffed about this brand. I will do more posts using Sleek once I get the Acid palette.

Tip # If you have brown or green eyes try applying a purple on the bottom
Oh BTW I am wearing a nude gloss by Barry M
Do you like wearing a pop of colour on the eyes?
That copper gold is sooo nice:). Lovely look
ReplyDeleteLovely!

Love this look, well done :)
ReplyDeleteLovely look on you. I have 4 of the sleek e/s palettes and have bought a few as stocking fillers last year. I love a pop of colour on the waterline or how you've done on the lower lash line. Appreciate the tip you gave at the end, I have warm brown eyes and find that green and purple tends to make the colour pop the most but pretty much most colours do a great job of that, lucky me!
ReplyDeleteOh by the way I did a friends make-up using the same copper No 1 you used and then neutral colours to the contour and it looked great, she said she looked fabulous I was very chuffed. She has blue, green, grey, hazel in her eyes so wasn't sure what would be best but thought a rust colour would work and it did. Any tips for this eye colour would be most appreciated. Ta x
ReplyDelete@happy1234 thank you hun x
ReplyDelete@liloo
ReplyDeletethank you x
@sarah I havent tried any of the face products are they good x
ReplyDelete@leah
ReplyDeleteIts a nude latte colour by Barry M it has no number on it x
@dianneuk01
ReplyDeleteThats fantastic, great choice because oranges make blue eyes pop. Blue is opposite orange on the colour wheel I think so rusty colours bring the blue right out. Coppers, reddy browns and also the right blue will make blue eyes stand out. Grey eyes look great with these colours too as it is a cool shade like blue x
Brill Carly, thanks so much for taking the time and giving your advice. x
ReplyDeleteWhat is on your cheeks please? It looks lovely x
ReplyDeletei really like this look, if only my double eyelid are more obvious to see the pop of color..
ReplyDeletei have sleek original, now i want the chaos one.
any suggestions for black eyes?
You look fabulous! I'll have to try this maybe with purple on the bottom as my eyes are green. x
ReplyDeleteThat coppery gold looks amazing on your eyes! I love Sleek! Such great pigmentation and price. Can't beat that at all<3
