Curles, Golden eyes and a Great Night Out

Hello!
Hope the start of your week has been a good one! The other day, I was desperate to use my brand new curling iron (which I only purchased for $20!). I haven't owned...or used a curling iron for about 5 years so I had a lot of learning to do!

This is how my hair turned out...

I'm fairly happy with the curling, apart from my fringe, which refused to sit properly while I was taking these photos. I wanted my fringe to look semi curled as well, as instead of curling it, I used a straighener to crimp it.

I was heading out to dancing the night I created this look and I wanted to try something different to the usual brown smokey eye. I tried to focus my attention on the centre of the lids and thus used a sparkly gold colour to achieve this. I thought a maroon colour could compliment the gold colour and I placed this on the inner corner and outer corner of the eye.

As you can see, I used a light gold colour and a darker gold colour to apply to the centre of the lids. I felt like the combination worked well together. This is what it looked like up close :)

I applied a white matte colour along the brow bone to bring more light to this area. In terms of lips, I applied Pink Ambition by Face of Australia and a pink gloss on top. I also used the shimmery pink eye shadow (first pink at top of palette) on the cheeks, as blush. (I have run out of blush for the time being...)

If you have any additional comments or questions, please don't hesitate to ask me! Comment below, send me a message via twitter (@mgmusic91), or email me (beautifulyetbasic@gmail.com)! I love hearing all your thoughts and appreciate all your feedback :)

Plenty more to come-stay tuned!
