A GUIDE TO CREATING RHINESTONE EYE MAKEUP LOOKS

Adding rhinestones to eye makeup looks has become a trend in the past few years. Its safe to say that we have come to love the idea of adding a bit of glitz and sparkle to our looks. This is a cut crease bejeweled look which i created for our Valentine’s Day campaign, please read below how i applied the rhinestones.

First i applied eyeshadows on the lids all the way to the crease of the eye, using the shades brew, terrestrial and pixie dust.

I squeezed a bit of adhesive glue on a mixing palette. I used Duo glue because it dries to a clear color.

Using tweezers, I picked the rhinestone and dipped into the adhesive glue on the mixing palette and waited a few seconds for it to get tacky/sticky. The rhinestones were then placed along the edge of the crease to sculpt a perfect cut crease.

I gently pressed the rhinestone down onto the skin with my fingernail to make sure it is secure (long nails come in handy at this point😀).

Rhinestone eye makeup is a fun way to wear your makeup as it adds an accent to your overall look. The good thing about working with atones is that you can decide how far you want to go, either a simple look using a few stones or an all-out look using a lot stones.

How To Create  Ombré Lips

I get a lot of compliments on my lip makeup, could be because I am endowed with full lips, but I also think it’s because I am never afraid to try out new techniques, products, and colors. Ombré lips are one of my favs, not only because they are beautiful but also because they are very helpful when i have a lipstick that’s a little too light for my skin tone, I simply blend with a dark lipstick color, and boom! So, I thought I’d share one of my simple ombré lips technique with you, just so we all can glam together!

1. I framed my outer lips with a brown liquid lipstick in the shade Morning After and using a blending brush, I smudged in the edges upwards.

2. Then I applied a nude velvet matte lipstick in the shade Void in the middle of my lips. I smacked, then blended the edges of both colors together.

3.  Finally I cleaned up around my lips using a flat brush and a tiny bit of my foundation shade.

4. And if you’re feeling like you want to be extra, top your ombre look with a gloss!

Simple isn’t it? Told you you too can make up like a pro!
