THE TWO COLOUR MAC SMOKEY EYE USING 'SHROOM' AND 'CLUB'

This is my two colour, everyday smokey eye which I have been wearing pretty much every day for the past week, it's so quick and easy to do and looks like you have put a lot more effort in than you actually have. I used the colours 'club' and 'shroom' from MAC which are both recent purchases of mine which I have been loving using.

After using the Urban Decay primer potion all over my lid, I use my MAC 239 dupe brush (check out my blog post on £1 brush dupes here) to put 'Shroom' half way across my lid and in the inner corner of my eye. I then used the MAC 217 brush to put 'club' in the outer corner and blended it out into the crease. I love club as it is a duochrome colour which changes from a brown to a silvery grey blue depending on which angle you look at it from. Club blends out to a brown colour but then using the same 217 blending brush I patted on the colour in the outer corner to build it up and add more pigment and vibrancy. This colour packing makes it a more intense dark silver/grey colour as opposed to brown. After this I just take a little bit of what is left on my brush and put it under the eye near the lash line to pull together the whole look.

What do you think of my two colour smokey eye? Have you tried MAC 'club' before? What is your favourite MAC eyeshadow?

ELF Cosmetics Beauty School Eyeshadow Palette- Natual Swatches

Hi everyone,
A couple of months ago, when ELF was having one of their 50% off sales, I purchased this eyeshadow palette. Some of the colours in this palette are gorgeous. It has three matte colours, and three shimmer colours. The eyeshadows themselves are nice sizes and so you will get a lot of use out of them.

The top row has a creamy white colour for highlighting, but I find that this is not very well pigmented, so I don't tend to use it that much

In the middle is a shimmery taupe colour which is much better pigmented than the white one.

And at the end is a lightish brown colour, which is my favourite out of the whole palette. It has good pigmentation and it isn't too powdery.

On the bottom row there is a gloden shimmery colour, which also has good pigmentation.

In the middle of the bottom row there is a bronze shimmer colour, which the pigmentation isn't too great on but it is still a nice colour.

And the last colour is a black which I was very pleasantly supprised about the pigmentation of.

Overall I am highly impressed with this palette for what I paid for it. It's meant to be £3.50 which is still an amazing price, but I only paid £1.75, which is amazing for a palette which I use most days! If you are thinking of buyimg it, then deffiniately wait until ELF is doing a discount voucher. The tend to do one most weeks, follow them on twitter, or like them on Facebook to make sure you get notifited of any that are coming up!

As you can see they all have very good pigmentation for the price, especially the black, and the light brown. I put quite a lot of the white on my hand, so that is why it looks quite pigmented.

Thankyou for reading this and have a lovely day ♥
