Today I want to show you a colourful eyeliner look, hope you like it :) I decided to use blue but you can use any combination of colours and I think it would look great! <br />
<br />

1 - Make a base for your colour using either a white eyeliner pencil or white shadow with a small tapered eyebrow brush or eyeliner brush<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvQjBSNNi35scwDhbq6m7mi6wp4F9xCG4_-ytpWBC7XWB30XjCP_pKWVmjYGgIM4u1tcZ1mDv4ahzFQGXG5lsRfECqB6wIQHZI6fy8Y27VBer2GE8YwQP9UP9ViiJLgn9TsOHhOXcwuHGs/s1600/blue2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvQjBSNNi35scwDhbq6m7mi6wp4F9xCG4_-ytpWBC7XWB30XjCP_pKWVmjYGgIM4u1tcZ1mDv4ahzFQGXG5lsRfECqB6wIQHZI6fy8Y27VBer2GE8YwQP9UP9ViiJLgn9TsOHhOXcwuHGs/s1600/blue2.jpg" height="292" width="320" /></a></div>
2 - I picked 4 shades to make my gradient ranging from the lightest blue to an electric blue on the wing, but 3 shades would also work well with a bit more blending. Frist apply your lightest shade in the inner corner and carefully apply each colour with an eyeliner or eyebrow brush in sections<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYN6NqJOiDbPPcRXi9vbNcAY8RXet-CyTEhcso_b2sjejqUlf7LuqJda4e5Ru9LnQd1V89ZnBW0KMSC0Vcgxaeq0pMBiizzD5hyphenhyphenwsJS6V-yZy_QnucgeSq9XdmtrRfDsDnrgES1Oz507Ck/s1600/blue3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYN6NqJOiDbPPcRXi9vbNcAY8RXet-CyTEhcso_b2sjejqUlf7LuqJda4e5Ru9LnQd1V89ZnBW0KMSC0Vcgxaeq0pMBiizzD5hyphenhyphenwsJS6V-yZy_QnucgeSq9XdmtrRfDsDnrgES1Oz507Ck/s1600/blue3.jpg" height="141" width="320" /></a></div>
3 - if you want to make it a bit darker, apply a matte black shadow on the very outer wing, but be careful not to completely cover the last electric blue shade. Blend well and if you want also apply a black liquid eyeliner as close to the lash line as possible<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx-Om5toJr0nVbKehvyy7j1pZy9efjNy7vte7ycgLURvOIiOW-cGlWtqFrQNu75YSe043O3n7PAUfFLtI6_iuK2LXOjBY9MHKALuE1tB1nk7QtcKm872oDNguipkIWYfqUxOUD-RneOaJT/s1600/blue5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx-Om5toJr0nVbKehvyy7j1pZy9efjNy7vte7ycgLURvOIiOW-cGlWtqFrQNu75YSe043O3n7PAUfFLtI6_iuK2LXOjBY9MHKALuE1tB1nk7QtcKm872oDNguipkIWYfqUxOUD-RneOaJT/s1600/blue5.jpg" height="293" width="320" /></a></div>
4 - finally, I applied a white eyeliner pencil to the waterline, and it's done! I also thought I would show you what this look is like on different colour eyes (yeah, I own a lot of contacts!) to show that bright colours aren't necessarily just for one eye colour :)<br />

<b>1: </b>Use a black base for your shadow, I used the maybelline colour tattoo in Timeless Black. After, use a flat shader brush to dab on a matte purple over the whole lid (i left the outer corner just to show you the black base). To pack on even more colour try wetting your brush or applying some Fix+<br />
<br />
<b>2: </b>Use your second shade to create a heavy contour in the crease. you can mix and match any colours but for this I used a bluey purple as my main colour (over the lid) and a brighter matte purple for the second shade (in the crease)<br />
<br />
<b>3: </b>blend blend blend! smoke the second shade out as much as you are comfortable with. if you find this difficult try using a matte eyeshadow similar to the shade of your skin and blend that into the top of your crease to create a more smoked out effect<br />
<br />
<b>4: </b>apply a highlighter to the inner corner and browbone. I used a white shimmery pencil but any highlighter shade will do the trick<br />
<br />
<b>5: </b>using a small pencil or detailer brush, apply a matte black to the very outer corner. blend this out again as much as you are comfortable with, it doesn't have to look too traditionally smoky as youve already created a nice gradient with the second colourful shade, so apply a minimal amount of black if you're not used to darker eyeshadow looks.<br />
<br />
<b>6:</b> mix a bit of matte black and a matte colour under your lower lashes, again using a small pencil or detailer brush. apply mascara, line your lower and bottom waterline with a black eyeliner, and youre good to go!<br />

<br />
Hello everyone, today I have a quick and easy tutorial for you using the Stila In The Light palette, but all it requires is a black, bronze, and highlight shade which you can get in most palettes. First I used Ebony (black) all over the lid, and on top of that put Gilded Gold (bronze) all over the lid and slightly under the lower lash line, then finished off with a bit of Bare in the inner corner.<br />
<br />
I love easy looks like this, in my opinion it always looks better layering two shades than using one, and if you have quite a defined crease this can look better than the usual contouring eye look.<br />
<br />

Hi, this is a quick FOTD of a quick and easy bold eyeshadow look. I love how the purple and gold goes together and think it gives a subtle pop of colour to any full-on makeup look.</div>

I came up with this simple and bold eye look today while playing with my KIKO colour seduction palette in '02 sensuous burgundy'. Its a great palette with amazing quality shadows and the colours are to die for.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I finished off the look with a bit of green eyeliner on the waterline, a coat of mascara and my go to cat eye.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I even made a tutorial for you lucky people. I love using the masking tape trick to create sharp eyeshadow looks but if you don't have any you can always clean up afterwards using a facial wipe. The shimmers in this palette do have a bit of fall out so cleaning up afterwards is wise. As you can see this is a very easy look to accomplish using only 4 shades and a base, I use the NYX jumbo eye pencil in 'milk' for this.<br />
<br />
Please let me know in the comments below what you think and if you'll be trying out this look. </div>

So this is my first blog post, welcome to Wanderlust and Ramblings!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This will be primarily a beauty blog. I will be posting tutorials and FOTDs, maybe even the odd tag or more personal post, but makeup is my true passion. I'm always experimenting with new looks and could never be bored with an eyeshadow palette in front of me. Makeup is even part of my job, I'm a personal shopper in Debenhams where I give advice to customers and do makeovers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm a huge fan of baking, travelling the world and Harry Potter. So this blog might become a mixture of ramblings on these and many more topics. I hope you like it.</div>
