Today I thought I would show you all one of my favourite looks to wear as of late. Since I work an office job during the summer, I have to wear “work appropriate” makeup – though they are still fairly lenient. I’m still figuring out how to do tutorials, so if anyone has suggestions as to how I can improve, I would love to hear some feedback.

The colours I used on my eyes are Shiro Cosmetics’ “Queensguard” from the Seven Kingdoms Collection, “I Am Groot” which was a former COTM so sadly not available anymore, and “Burdened with Glorious Purpose” from the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes Collection.

To begin with, I primed my lid and applied a base shadow – any will do as long as it’s a shade similar to your skin tone. This will make blending a lot easier later on once we start adding some other colours.

I then added my transition shade Queensguard to the crease. I really love this as it’s a fairly matte reddish brown that blends beautifully and allows the other colours to fade seamlessly into the crease. I’m going to have to buy a backup of it pretty soon because I’ve almost run out!

Now for the exciting part. I picked up I Am Groot on a fairly stiff brush and patted it alllllll over the lid. Now, if I’m wearing this look on a weekend I’ll put some Pixie Epoxy underneath to really make it glow but since I’m wearing it to the office I opted not to use a glitter adhesive.

To add a little definition to the outer corner I placed some Burdened with Glorious Purpose onto the outer corner, then blended it a little around the edges. I don’t want to add too much of this because I still want my eyes to look glowing and ever so slightly ethereal, but you can add as much as you feel is right. (not pictured – how it looked after blending… sorry)

Now that the shadow is done, I lined my eyes and put some mascara on – you can add falsies if you want to make this a little more dramatic.

Face makeup done, here’s the final look!

I try to use as much indie makeup as I can, but I’m still using Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Poreless foundation as I haven’t yet found anything in the indie world that can really compare, as well as their concealer. I set my foundation with Fyrinnae Oil Control Powder and did a tiiiiiny bit of contouring with a Black Radiance powder I picked up at Walmart. Blush is NARS “Unlawful”.

Lips are a mixture of Fyrinnae Ocelot and Pygmy Hippo… mostly because I couldn’t decide which one I wanted to wear haha.

Let me know if you liked this, and if you did you can follow my blog to get updates whenever I post new things. Or not, I’m not the boss of you. 😉
