This is a simple yet elegant night time makeup look I did on myself that isn’t too dark or heavy but highlighted my eyes with some shimmer on the inner corner of the eye and eye lid before blending to a dark neutral on the outer corner.

I decided to experiment with Jeffree Star Cosmetics Liquid Frost ‘Ice Queen’. Applying it on my cheek bone, collar bone/chest and as well as on my eyelids.

I had purchased some UV face paint online to test out what look I could create. As you can see I thought I’d do a winged eyeliner using green, blue, purple and pink. This didn’t turn out as bright as I had hoped but decorating my under eyes and cheeks with glittery stars tied the look together quite well. 

Neutral eyeshadow colours and a glossy lip made for a perfect day/evening look, as it wasn’t too heavy for the day or too light for the evening.

Free hand winged eyeliner that was incredibly time consuming but worth it.

I was asked by this young lady to do her makeup for her Debutante Ball. 
She asked specifically to have her eye makeup more of a dark neutral glam instead of the subtle and minimal makeup that is usually recommended for this event- as she wanted to have her eyes highlighted and more noticeable, rather than soft tone eyeshadow with very thin liner. Bella was extremely happy with the end results and looked stunning. 

Elegant but eye catching formal makeup I created for this gorgeous girl’s graduation. 

Prior to this lovely girls graduation, I organised a trial appointment to play with colours and see if the images she sent me for inspiration would work together/ need to be darker/lighter and what would complete her look in a simple white dress. This was when we both agreed she wanted a warmer eyeshadow that would match her red shoes and accessories. See the other photo for her graduation makeup.
