I was completely inspired by the makeup used on Burberry's catwalk, the use of rose tones and soft blush colours is totally something I'm into. I love playing up my eyes so I leaped at the chance to give this trend a try. Taking this as an opportunity to try out new products I went to the shops and bought a whole load of sleek eyeshadow palettes. To recreate the element of rose tones into the eye makeup I used a dark purple matte along the crease to start with and then blended a dark navy matte on top for more depth. I then used a rosy gold pink shade on the centre of the eye and blended a soft gold on top to soften the whole look.
Here is how it turned out...

I am so surprised by how pigmented the eyeshadows were in the Sleek palette. For £7.99 its such a bargain and having stuck by Urban Decay eyeshadows for so long, it's nice to have finally found something that not gonna break my bank. Although some colours were a little washed out when applied directly from the palette, after a couple spritz of mac studio fix plus, all the shades seem to have a new found life especially the shimmer tones. I definitely recommend these palettes for summer I know I will be buying a lot more soon!

I'm starting to get a little used to all these makeup poses! If you've ever seen me on a night out you'll know I'm a sucker for bronzed makeup. This is my all time favourite type of look mostly because it can be worn to almost any event. I used two shades of MAC studio finish concealer to create the contoured effect. This is the first time I've used YSL touché eclate and I have to say even though its 25 pounds it's totally worth it. The main focus of this look was keeping the skin natural and contoured. This makeup is good for a night out, dinner date or anything really. I chose to not wear lashes to keep it a bit more natural, but lashes can take it that extra bit further on the glamour spectrum. Also for some reason I wasn't really into using liquid liner this time, but I do think it would compliment this eye makeup really well. I have these moments when I completely go off eyeliner, and then I'm in love with it again haha. Anyways, here's a list of the products I used:
