Hi dolls. Happy Sunday to you all! Hope you’re having a lovely weekend. I’m baby sitting my gorgeous nephew & niece. After lots of playing & not to mention combing, plaiting & generally ‘doing up’ my hair, they’re both busy playing with their DS & I thought I’d get a blog post up.
I love ditching the black smokey eye & opting for different colours - my recent favourite being the BROWN smokey eye. I haven’t done a FOTD in what seems like forever! So… Here’s how I create my brown smokey eye (please ignore the funny face in the picture below!)…
FACE
MAC Face & Body Foundation
Skin Glow by Topshop
MAC Studio Fix Powder
Garnier Tinted Roll-On as concealer
CHEEKS
Polished by Topshop as a highlighter
Ninotchka by NARS as contour
Ice Pop i-glow blush by New CID Cosmetics
LIPS
Pillow Talk by Topshop
EYES
Primer Potion by Urban Decay as a base
Wasteland 24/7 Glide On Shadow Pencil by Urban Decay all over the lid
Showstopper eye shadow by MAC all over the lid & smoked out
Great Lash mascara (3-4 thin coats - that’s how I find it works best. Otherwise, I find it CRAP!) by Maybelline
Exaggerate Liquid Liner in brown by Rimmel
Brown pencil liner by Rimmel.
Polished by Topshop to highlight.
I love playing around with different coloured smokey eyes. From browns, blues, blacks to even purples & greens! Its a great going out look that’s for sure Have you tried any different coloured smokey eyes?

You are soo soo beautiful! I love the eye makeup!! xx
Thanks, Roshni xx
You look gorgeous!! Your eye make up looks good too x
Thanks, hun! x
I love your skin Kaushal! I wish mine was just as clear and even so I woudn’t have to cake on so much concealer lol. Love what you’re wearing on your cheeks!
Oh no way, my skin when through a rough patch recently LOL it’s got better now though! Thanks, it’s what I tend to do most days for my cheeks x
Kaushal, this is my fave post from you, natural beauty. What shade are you in MACs face and body? And Topshops skin glow, do you use it all over your face or as a highlight? xo
Hi Kiran - thanks so much Oh gosh, that I’m not LOL. I’m C3 in MAC Face & Body (by far the best foundation I own). With Skin Glow I tend to use it all over my face but I have used it sometimes as a highlight just on my cheek bones - all depends on the mood I’m in. I hope that helped hun x
Gorgeous look!
I love it!
Thanks so much!
Gorgeous! Love this look on you!
Thank you Angelina!
So pretty!
x
Thank you, Ciara! x
Looking veryvery pretty
Was just wondering, how do you have your hair cut? (As in long/short layers? Feathered?)
Thanks Maya! I actually used to have LOADS of layers but I let them grow out (but just getting them trimmed). Now they are just really long layers and the front is short at the front (a la Kim K) as I tend to have a middle parting these days & wanted some dimension to my hair I hope that helps!
you look amazing x
Thank you x
LOVE! Yeah as much as I like the black smoky eye, I love when people do it with other colours. You should totally do one using UD’s Naked Palette! You’re so gorgeous btw!
xo, E.
Oooh, that’s a good one - I will definitely try it out as I love my Naked Palette x
gorgeous look! I love browns, i need a brown liquid liner actually and I have to have that gorge lip colour xx
The Rimmel one I have is amazing - I love matte eye liners & this is deffo one I buy over & over again x
Your eye make up is gorgeous but I can’t get over how dewy your skin is - just perfect 0 you lucky girl!
Nic x
Hi Nic, thanks so much. Oh gosh, no way! It always goes through bad phases luckily this time it was in a okay stage x
You look absolutely gorgeous! Your make up is always flawless. Wish I could do my make up like yours, you’re so good at this. My skin always gives me a hard time, it’s so dry, it needs every day care.
Thank you hun - I just make it up as I go along & am always mixing foundations together to get the coverage/look I’m after x
Soo happy you’ve done another fotd!! Look absolutely stunning! Totally agree with you on swapping the black smokey for another colour - now I just need to get out of my
comfort zone and do it! Defs gonna try a brown look! Also love the lipstick, whenever I saw it on other people I thought it wouldn’t suit my skin tone but I’m pretty similar to you so I’m gonna have to check this out next time I visit topshoppp! xxx
Thank you, doll. Brown is probably the best way to go to get out of your comfort zone of smokey eyes Yesss, it’s lovely! I was going to pick it up when I last bought loads of stuff from Topshop’s make up range but don’t know what made me put it down. I’m so glad I ordered it off their website later LOL x

Hahaa, it is funny!! Thank you my lovely xx

Thanks, doll
WOW you look AMAZINN yet again!
you will defo have to do a blog on how you look after your skin/daily skin care routine as its beaut and soo flawless!
I wanted to ask…what foundation do you wear that makes your skin look nice and dewy? - also i saw you mentioned that you use MAC Face & Body Foundation a lot - is that the one foundation that you wear that you’ll recommend? - my foundation is on its last legs so I need to buy a new one - xoxo
Hi Fiona Thanks so much! I will get it up as soon as I get time. I find that MAC’s Face & Body tends to make my skin look very dewy… I like mixing my foundations too. So, I like mixing Face & Body with my tinted moisturisers, BB creams & NARS Sheer Glow (just as two examples). I would definitely recommend Face & Body though, along with Garnier’s BB cream - that makes me skin look dewy too I hope that helps? Let me know if you’d like advice on anything else xx
I also wanted to ask you…..In your “i like to wing it wing it” blog regarding black eyeliner - you said that there was the Avon supershock gel eyeliner that you love - on their website they have types of supershock gel eyeliner…the one that comes in the standard tub and the pencil one - which do you use and recommend? - thanks chica! xoxo
That is an amazing gel liner (it’s the one in a pencil) - but it would be hard to do a winged eye liner look on it but is great for the waterline Here’s the link to it: http://avonshop.co.uk/shop/product.asp?pf_id=36978&from=search&find_spec=supershock&pagenum=1
It’s only £3 as well Bargain x
what shade of face and body foundation do you wear?
Hi, I’m a C3 in MAC’s Face & Body!
