EOTD - My First Cat's Eye

Ok, so today was my day off work and I wasn't planning on going anywhere so I was gonna do my nails, but then we (my partner and I) decided we would go out for dinner. Therefore I thought I'd give a cat's eye a go, and if it looked bad it wouldn't matter as it would be dark! I didn't want to take too long over it as sometimes that just makes things seem harder and you won't want to try it again - or perhaps that's just me? I used my No.7 Smoky Eyeliner as I thought it would make the look easier. Here are the results:

I used:

FACE

Actually nothing - I wanted to give my skin a day to breathe as I seem to have a few light spots at the moment and I don't want them to get any worse!

EYES

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion
UD BoS II - Ecstasy - eyelid
UD BoS II AC/DC - crease
UD BoS II - Sellout - highlight
No.7 Smoky Eyeliner in Black - upper/lower lashline & cat's eye flick
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in Zero - upper/lower waterline
No.7 Lash 360 Mascara in Black (freebie) - upper lashes
Barry M Lengthening Mascara in Electric Purple- lower lashes
Black glitter for the edge of the cat's eye (last minute decision)

LIPS

Avon Extreme Glazewear Gloss in Sand Shine

I wanted to add in one final picture today - which I think shows how long the No.7 Lash 360 Mascara lengthens my lashes - it kinda shocked me - it was the first time I'd used it since receiving it as part of a free gift (see here for details).

What do you think? I actually found it easier than I thought it would be and I love the way it turned out - I think I may be experimenting more with this in the future!! Thanks for reading :)

I don't very often do silvery/grey smoky eyes, but I actually like this...am loving the mUA shades so far, lets see what I can do with the purples or greens next!!

EOTD - Urban Decay Book of Shadows Vol 1

I purchased a new Mascara today so wanted to give it a try and did a quick eyeshadow look to match.

I used:

Shattered

Goddess - as an upper lash liner and in the crease

Midnight Cowboy - brow/inner eye highlight

Wet n Wild Mega Length Double Action Mascara

EOTD - based on a YouTube video

Hiya, I saw this video on youtube and thought the look would be fun to recreate. I chose all the colours from my 120 palette - 5 in total. The ones I used are circled below:

It turned out like this:

I was pretty pleased with the result, it's the first YouTube video I have followed, I am hoping to follow another this weekend to give my friend some sexy pirate eye make up.

The only thing I don't like is the picture as it shows my little eyebrow hairs that I obviously need to pluck!!

EOTD

I have done a few more FOTD's lately than when I first started, but I think that's due to my new make up that I love having fun with!

Items Used:

Urban Decay Primer Potion
Black Cream Eyeshadow - Aromaleigh - all over eyelid
Blue - No.7 Rebellion Eye Palette - all over eyelid
Neon Lights - Aromaleigh - lower waterline
No.7 mini 360 mascara

It was just a quick FOTD hence why it may be a little bit boring, but I really wanted to test the black cream eyeshadow. To see how it worked as a base to darker colours. As you can see it really makes the blue come alive.

Do you use black as a base for any other colours?
