Through Beauty Eyes 2014 FIFA World Cup Inspired Make Up - GERMANY

STEP BY STEP TUTORIAL:
 2014 #FIFAWorldCup Inspired MakeUp - GERMANY

1. After applying my Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer and NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk (this would intensify the bright colours and keep them in place), gently pack on the any vibrant yellow eyeshadow from your collection (I am using Illamasqua Powder Eyeshadow in Hype from the Fundamental palette) across the inner third of your upper lid.

2. Then, apply a matte brown eyeshadow (mine is from LILY LOLO Mineral Cosmetics) on the outer third of my lid and along my crease and meet the end of my yellow eyeshadow (leaving the centre part of my lid free).

3. This is probably the hardest step and if you're fairly new with makeup, maybe apply your foundation after you have done the eyes. Apply your blackest eyeshadow (using Black Dog from my Urban Decay Black Palette), creating a "V" at the outer corner of my lid (make sure the "V" is smaller than the area of the matte brown eyeshadow!) and slowly blend them together.

4. Finally gently pack on the brightest red eyeshadow you have on the centre of lid (I am using I Nuovi Eyeshadow in Siren Red ) and blend all three colours together. Gently. You may need to go back and reapply the yellow & red eyeshadows as they might lose some intensity whilst blending!

5. I used Benefit Australia's new #BenefitRealLiner on my upper lashline and Milani's Liquif'eye Pencil Eyeliner in Black to line my lower lashline. I then set it with the same Black Dog eyeshadow and to soften to look. 

6. To finish off, apply a few generous coat of your favourite mascara. As always, you have the option to apply falsies to further intensify the look.

2014 #FIFAWorldCup Inspired MakeUp #2 - Netherlands

Howdy! 

How are we with the whole world cup fever? I bet many of your body clocks are going through a roller coaster ride at the moment - in a way, I am glad my football-obsession-days were over! ;)

N E T H E R L A N D S  is the second instalment of this series - just in time before the Socceroos V Netherlands match tonight! 

If you have missed the first instalment for Brazil, check it out HERE.

This look is way more straight forward and easier to create compared to the Brazil look! :)

INGLOT Freedom Palette & NYX Eyeshadow in Africa

These are the colours/ palettes I used to create this look but as per always, feel free to make use of whatever colours you have in your stash - all the colours you need today are Orange, Matte Coral Red, Matte Peach (to blend) and a black eyeshadow.

STEP BY STEP TUTORIAL:

2014 #FIFAWorldCup Inspired MakeUp - Netherlands

1. After applying the eyeshadow primer and cream eyeshadow (I used NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk), gently pack on the orange (#1 in photo - NYX Eyeshadow in Africa) across the first 2/3 of your upper lid and 1/3 of the inner corner of your lower lashline. 

2. Then, apply a matte coral red eyeshadow (#2 in photo from my INGLOT freedom palette), creating a "V" at the outer corner of my lid.

3. This is where the magic happens, pick up some of the matte peach colour (#3 in photo from my INGLOT freedom palette) using your blending brush and apply it across your crease, blending the orange and matte coral red eyeshadow together to remove all harsh lines. 

4. Using an angled brush and pack on the black eyeshadow, line 2/3 of your lower lashline and wing it out. I reapplied at least 3 times to give a smokier effect, to balance out the bright colours on my upper lid. 

5. As for the upper lashline, I just tight lined using Milani's Liquif'eye Pencil Eyeliner to make my lash appear fuller. I skipped the liquid liner step as I think it would be a little overkill with the bright lids. 

6. To finish off, apply a few generous coat of your favourite mascara.

 As an alternative, you can always add on falsies to give a more dramatic effect. I think my HG Dolly Wink Volume Mascara does its job pretty well. ;)

2014 #FIFAWorldCup Inspired MakeUp #1 - Brazil

So, World Cup fever doesn’t necessarily have to revolve around the actual soccer ball (or football) itself.

 Especially for us chicas, the FIFA world cup gives us more reasons to rock bright and colourful looks during the tournament. (Not that we need any reasons to – but as I grow older, I tend to stay on the “safe side” and haven’t been exploring colourful FOTD as much as I used to do. Is it just me or are there anyone else with me? :P) 

So,after a random playtime and experiment last Friday in conjunction with the open ceromony of 2014 Brazil FIFA World Cup, I decided to create this ThroughBeautyEyes 2014 FIFA World Cup Inspired Make Up series. 

This series will consist of make up based on the World Cup theme over the couse of this tournament - not neccessarily in the order of countries I support!

Of course, Brazil will be the first instalment in this series, being the host country and all ;)

Illamasqua Fundamental Palette | INGLOT Freedom Palette | Wet n Wild Eyeshadow Palette in Pride

These are the palettes I used to create this look but feel free to make use of whatever colours you have in your stash - all you need is bright yellow, green and dark blue eyeshadows. AND of course, a very good blending blush!

STEP BY STEP TUTORIAL:
2014 #FIFAWorldCup Inspired MakeUp - Brazil 

1. After priming your eyes with a primer and set the base with a cream eyeshadow (I used NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk and Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Edgy Emerald here), gently pack on the green eyeshadow on the centre of the lid, leaving out the inner and outter corner of your eyes.

2. Then, apply the dark blue eyeshadow at the outter corner of your eyes, creating a "V" shape and bringing it slightly into your crease.

3. Next, apply a bright matte yellow eyeshadow (using Illamasqua Hype from the Fundamental Palette) at the inner corner of your eyes, dragging it down to your inner tear duct area/ lower lash line.

4. BLEND, BLEND & BLEND all three colours together. You may lose some of the intensity of the colours, just go back and pack on more colours and blend it until there are no harsh lines and reached the intensity you are looking for.

5. Line your upper lash line with either a black or dark blue eyeliner and create a wing.

6. Then, line 1/3 of your bottom lash line with the same eyeliner and connect it to the wing.

7. Set the eyeliner with the same blue eyeshadow that you use on your outter V.

8. Line the middle (1/3) of your lower lash line with the green eyeshadow you used on your eyelid.

To finish off the look, apply a few generous coats of your favourite mascara (mine is Dolly Wink volume mascara - no surprises here) and to magnify the effect of this look, you may add on some falsies but I wasn't quite up for that. ;)

I am quite lucky to be work in a rather casual environment - that means no warning letter for rocking up to work with these colours. :P
