I used Inglot 395 as a high lit under brow Inglot 606 over the whole lid and into the crease, Inglot 335 (rusty matte) in the crease and outer corner and Inglot 391 (matte black) to define the outer V

5. Pack on mac shadow Woodwinked with a flat shader (Sigma E55) in a packing motion focusing on the inner third
6. Sweep Swiss chocolate on the lower lash line with a large blending brush (E40)
7. Apply a small amount of mac carbon on a blending brush (E35) on the outer v and then on the lower lash line

9. Line the whole eye top and bottom water line with mac smoulder kohl pencil.

11. Apply mascara of choice.

Makeup Brush Must Haves!

So in my opinion having full sets of Sephora, Mac, Napolean and Sigma brushes that Sigma are hands down the best. The even better part is that they are super cheap and if you use the code March2012 when you buy yours at sigma.com you can get 10% off your order sweet! Now I am not sponsored by any companies especially not Sigma and I heard about these through a friend. They are amazing brushes so naturally I had to buy the whole set, yet a still have a few Mac ones I prefer and I love. So here is my kit!
 My whole kit
 My Sigma Kabuki set which are my three have brushes of all time! The flat one (F80) I use to apply liquid foundation, the tapered one (F86) I use to apply under eye concealer and the round one (F82) to  buff in minerals and foundation with.
The Sigma large powder brush which is unreal for bronzer and pressed mineral powder. (F20) This brush is so much softer than my mac brush and the bigger flatter top is great for a natural finish.
This Mac powder brush 150 is great for loose minerals and powder foundation. 
My most favourite blush brush ever! The angled top allows a really airbrushed application tot he apples of the cheeks 
This is a Mac 212 large eyeshadow brush and I can't compare it to the Sigma one as I don't yet have it, this is great for applying the base shade to the lids. 
If I could have one eye brush in my kit it would by my Sigma E25 blending brush. So amazing for blending colour for perfect smooth traditions. 
This Sigma E35 Tapered Blending brush is unreal, so so super soft and flawless. 
The Sigma E40 Tapered Blending  brush is awesome for applying colour all over the eye. Can make one colour have 3 uses. Buff into lids for high pigment colour sweep under brow bone for highlight and pack in crease for contour. 
The Sigma E60 Large Shader is perfect for applying pigment and brow bone highlight. 
Sigma E55 Eye shading brush is ideal for packing on lid colour

Sigma E70 Medium Angled Shading is again perfect for brow bone colour and highlight. 
This is a Mac 208 brow brush and I love this so much it fills in my none existent brows to perfection
Sigma E20 short shader is awesome for lower lid colour and smoking out eyeshadow
This is my one and only Napolean brush in my kit, the Fine Line brush which I apply with my gel liner
This is a Mac 212 brush for under eye shading tight to the lash line. Gorgeous!
This is a drug store cheap i use for eyebrows, it's so amazing for shaping brows 

Everyday Makeup part three: The lips

So on to the lips, now being someone with quite full lips, I tend to stick with pinks however these three are my all time have lip sticks and glosses.

 Watch me Simmer (amplified)
 Innocence beware! (cremesheen)
 Russian Red (Matte)
 Colour Swatch
 Pink Lemonade (Lip Glass)
 Viva Glam VI Special Edition (Lip Glass)
Viva Glam Gaga (Lip glass)

Everyday Makeup Part Two: the eyes

So here is part two my everyday eye makeup kit. Bare in mind that this isn't my whole eye makeup collection, just my favourites. So here we go.



I'll start with Mac paint pots because I just love them and think they are awesome bases. My two favourite are Quite Natural (dark brown) and Rubenesque (gold coppery one). These are the best for brown smokey eyes and copper smokey eyes and look unreal!





Next I'll do my pencils that I have in my everyday kit I have a black, white and brown one. My brown one is a Stila pencil called Tiger's eye, the Black is Mac smoulder eye kohl and the white one is also Mac.




My eyeshadow collection is just a little bit enormous, but these are my two favourite palettes and they are of course Mac because I think no other brand can even come close. So here are my favourite colours


Row one: Gesso, Crystal Avalanche, Grain, All that Glitters, Rice paper
Row two: Expensive pink, Soft Brown, Woodwinked, Cork, Sable
Row three: Satin Taupe, Swiss Chocolate, Bronze, Mulch, Mystery
                                     
Row one: Call me bubbles, Fresh daily, Full of Flavour, Brash, Sketch
Row two: Empty, Empty, Empty, Empty, Satellite dreams
Row three: Electra, Knight Devine, Print, Black Tied, Carbon

Now to mascara's I change them like I change underwear but I currently use two, Diorshow blackout and Peter Thomas Roth 'Lashes to die for'
