FOTD: Yellow, Paches + Cream

Hey beauties!!! Hope you all had a great weekend?

This  look was loosely inspired by the one and only King Bey. This was one of the many fierce looks she wore for her Countdown video (see here) so I decided to recreate a toned down version suitable for everyday. 

For the eyes, I used a matte yellow e/s (Inglot) and a dark brown from the Sleek matte palette. You'll definitely need a good primer and a base as yellow e/s need a lot of packing on and pressing to get a good color pay off. I used NYX jumbo pencil (milk) but I would suggest using a yellow base as this will give a more intense bright yellow but I worked with what I had. 

After applying the base on the lid only, I cut my crease with a dark brown pencil then started the tedious process of packing the yellow on to the base. I blended out the brown pencil with the matte brown e/s towards my brown bone which i highlighted using honey spice e/s (Mary Kay).

For the lips, I decided on a nude/coral lip and paired NYX mauve lip pencil with Sleek's peaches and cream lipstick. 

Alright beauties, let me know what you think of this look and if you know of any extremely pigmented yellow e/s out there, please let me know

Have a great day....

xoxo

LIPSTICKS (Part 1)

Lipsticks are a great way to add a pop of colour to your look and to give a longer lasting lip colour. It depends on the look you are going for but I like to always wear a lip stick underneath just to have colour on my lips when my gloss fades away.

So in this post, I will be sharing with you my lipstick collection starting with the True Colour Lipsticks by Sleek Makeup.

Cranberry is a limited edition lipstick that came out in November 2011 as part of The Berry Collection. This has a deep red wine shade and gives a matte finish. I love this colour because its the perfect berry lip colour and  I can tone it down and use as a lip tint when I don't want too much "berryness".

Peaches and Cream has a peachy shade with a sheen finish. This is one of my newest purchase and to me it's just like Bare All with a little bit more colour with a sheen finish.

Coral Reef has a neon-coral shade and gives a sheen finish. This colour is everything I want in a lipstick; it's bright and it's loud and I love it.

Majestic is a dark-plumy shade with a matte finish. It is no longer available from the sleek website but you can find a similar shade such as Vamp.

Fuchsia is the very first lipstick I purchased from Sleek and I love it. The label is the same as Majestic but different from the rest because Sleek changed their labeling (PS: love the new label better). It has a matte finish and is still available to purchase from Sleek.

Naked is a nude lipstick with a sheen finish but for me its too light and gives me the ashy look so I pair it with a brown lip pencil to match my skin tone better.

Bare All is a nude lip colour with a peachy undertone and it has a matte finish. I love this so much that I went through a phase where I wore it every single day.

So that's all of my True colour Lipsticks and I am hoping to update this post with any new addition in the future. In the meantime, I'll be doing another post which will contain all the other lipsticks I own from other brands.

Do you own any True Colour Lipstick? If you do, which one is your favourite?
