Mini tutorial: summer look.

Hi! So this is a mini tutorial of a look that I've been liking these days.
It looks a lot like my usual everyday favorite looks but with a little twist, I usually go for a cat liner look but since the beginning of the summer I've been adding a bit of color to the outer bottom lash line. So it goes from this:

to this:


I made a thicker and more defined line with black liner (I also went in the inner corner of my eye for a more cat-like look) and on the bottom lashline I applied a line of gold pencil then added blue eyeshadow on top of it so that it would last all day, and it did. I usually don't need to do touch ups after I've dome my makeup in the morning.

Products used: black eyeliner pen from Ebay:

some Boho Cosmetics Terracota in Terre de Provence as eyeshadow all over my lid

a Sephora gold liner pencil on my bottom lashline:

and the blue eyeshadow from this palette on top of it :

(it's the dark blue on the second row, I had to use an angled brush to avoid too much fallout and also to avoid putting too much because it's very pigmented!)

I then added mascara: Benefit Cosmetics They're Real mascara.
I hope you liked this because there will me more coming, I will also be posting some "unusual" makeup looks too so stay tuned for that.

Have a nice day!  And thanks for stopping by.

Take care! Bye!

My favorite eyeliner brush

My favorite eyeliner brush, for gel and liquid liner, is a nail-art brush.
Mon pinceau eyeliner préféré, pour l'eyeliner gel et liquide est un pinceau nail-art.

So, as the title indicates, I'm gonna be telling you all about my favourite brush that I use to create the best winged liner.
Donc, comme le titre l'indique, je vais tout vous  dire sur le pinceau que j'utilise pour créer le meilleur look Cat eye.

The brush I use is this: 
Voici le pinceau que j'utilise:


it's actually an nail-art brush but I love it for liner since the bristles are much softer and more flexible than a classic eyeliner brush.
il s'agit en fait d'un pinceau nail-art, mais je l'aime pour le liner car les poils sont beaucoup plus doux et plus souple qu'un pinceau eyeliner classique.

Being more at ease while using this brush actually saves me a lot of time (in the morning especially) and I don't have to pick and choose between different brushes as I naturally go to this one everytime I need a liner look.
Le fait que ce pinceu soit plus maniable et facile à utiliser qu'un autre me fait gagner pas mal de temps (en particulier le matin) et je n'ai pas à choisir entre différents types de pinceaux car je prends naturellement celui-ci à chaque fois .



It's suitable for both thin and thick lines and gives you a lot of control to draw the line the way you prefer. I can't remember how I came up with this idea but I'm glad I did.
Il peut être utilisé que ce soit pour les tracés fins ou plus épais et vous donne beaucoup de contrôle pour tracer la ligne de la façon que vous préférez. Je ne me souviens pas vraiment comment j'ai eu cette idée mais je suis contente de l'avoir eue.

If anyone is interested, here's a brush set that is identical to the one I have:
Si quelqu'un est intéressé, voici un set de pinceaux identique à celui que j'ai:


See you! Bye!
