Sultry Smokey Eye

Summer is here and I cant describe how beautiful it is, I rather it being 40 degrees than
have snow and ice where I cant feel my toes!! I hope all of you are having an amazing
summer so far, I cant stand being at home when its so nice out..well last weekend I had the chance to do my friends makeup for a reception she was attending.

She wore a beautiful black and silver saree which looked super sexy on her,
she had asked me to do a look which would pull together the outfit so...
I started off by primin her lids with painterly paint pot by MAC,
I primed her face with a palladio face primer so the makeup would stay
put throughout her night of dancing.

Eyes: I started off with blunt e/s by urban decay to brighten her eyes, I also placed this colour
on her brow bone. I then placed Mac silvering e/s on the lid of her eye and applied carbon to the outer corner. I blend carbon inwards to create a smokey effect.

Cheeks: Since shes obsessed with contouring ;) I made sure I contoured with a shimmer free bronzer
and then applied Lorac hot and spicy blush duo on the apples of her cheeks.

Lips: I finished off her lips with Coco Lust by Mac, a pro longwear lipstick.

Lastly I applied Ardell falsies which really brought out her eyes!
Hope you enjoy this look!



Enjoy!!

Emerald Green Dress: Prom time Hair and Makeup! Make those heads turn!

Hello my beautiful bloggers,
yes I know I have fallen off the face of blog world! I truly missed blogging and life had completely taken over. I was bombarded with exams and then I made a trip to Ottawa to visit my friend! Good times!! I have been enjoying the sun as much as I can until I start becoming a busy body again... which means work and school.

On another note,
 we all know that it is officially prom season for the high schoolers and  I came up with a beautiful and elegant prom makeup + hair do that will make those heads turn and look at you not once but several times!



Eyes: Simple Smokey eye using carbon and expensive pink e/s by Mac
Lips: I srongly suggest this lip colour if you are a darker skin tone as this really brings out the lips, it is AMOUROUS LIPSTICK by MAC
Blush: A beautiful blush that warms up the skin is Conjure Up also by MAC which has a subtle shine. It's stunning!

To finish off the look I curled the hair with a flat iron and pulled all the hair
to the side for an elegant side ponytail, slightly teasing the crown to give some volume.

Let me know what you guys think of this look for prom!

Enjoy and Thank you so much for stopping by!

Stay Posh!

Eyes: Goldmine and Carbon

Hello my loves!
You can never go wrong with goldmine and carbon e/s by Mac. If I am feeling very indecisive I pair these two eyeshadows and end up with a great look for the night. Of course matching your e/s with your clothes takes the attention off your eyes and the focus is on your makeup, so colour coordinating can be quite annoying. We use makeup to enhance our eye's not to emphasize that our makeup is on our face! I found that these two eyeshadow were really a "look saver". A nice grey/black smokey eye can also be a "go to " look when you are out of options. Hope you ladies have enjoyed this look
and your feedback means so much so let me know what you think!








Eyes: Primed with Panterly Paintpot by Mac, Goldmine e/s all over the lid
and using a fluffy e/s brush I used carbon in my outer V. If you want to intensify the
eyes for a more dramatic look just keep adding carbon and blending the outer V. Line with a carbon/black eyeliner, curl those lashes to lift the eye, apply mascara and falsies. This is optional but will definitely bring out the eyes.

Cheeks: I used my favorite Lorac blush Duo in hot and Spicy. I love the highlight colour that comes with the duo and I also use the blush. I also contoured with a contour colour, use something that has no shimmer in it. This will bring out those cheek bones.

Lips: I used young thing lip gloss by Mac to keep it nude.

Hope you enjoyed this look :).

STAY POSH
XOXO

Eyes: BlueBrown Pigment

Hello Ladies, hope everyone is doing well! I received a sample of Mac's Blue Brown Pigment in a swap awhile ago and never got around to doing a look with it. So I decided to give it a try :).



So for the eyes I concentrated Mac BlueBrown Pigment more in the centre, I did not want to place
it all over the lid just to avoid looking like a disco ball. I added Go eyeshadow with a soft fluffy e/s brush to the outer corner and blended out the BlueBrown. This also softens the harshness of the pigment. Add a highlight close to your skin colour and voila ;) To complete, use your blackest eyeliner and mascara.

Lips: I used Semi-Annual which is a nude lipstick by Mac that has a slight pink undertone.

What do you guys think ?
Thank you so Much for stopping by.

EOTD: PINK

Hello Ladies, Hope everyone is wonderful! So, as we all know valentine's day is right around the corner. Everywhere we go all you see is cinnamon hearts, teddy bears and heart melting love poems. What's better to start off February than a Valentine Day makeup look?


I Started off by Priming the lids with Mac's Painterly Paint pot.
For the inner corners I used Mac's Chill e/s.
Using bright colours on the inner corner like Chill will make the eye's really stand out.
In the centre of the eye lid I used Sunset B e/s by MAC.
On the outer Corner I blended out with some Passionate e/s.
Line your lids with your favourite black eyeliner.
Layer a couple of coats of your blackest mascara,
and you are date ready!
Good luck On trying out this makeup look for
your special someone :).

Watch out for more Valentine's Day Makeup Looks.
Thanks for stopping by Ladies and Stay POSH ;).

NOTD: Mac's Love and Friendship




Hellllooo loves, hope everyone is feeling wonderful! Life is seriously getting in the way of my blogging,
but my lovely readers and the positive comments always inspires to me to blog whether it is a simple post or
something more time consuming. Hats off to the bloggers that manage to post everyday, whether it is in between school/work or being a parent! :)

This Love and Friendship Nailpolish by Mac has been sitting in my drawer and was very unloved.
I decided to give it a shot as the colour from the outside never seemed appealing to me.
But...this dirty creamy lavender/lilac colour is the prettiest after about 2 coats! It is so elegant and
I have not seen another colour like this, and it is definitely a favorite in my collection now. It is truly a timeless nailpolish that goes with anything I am wearing, that is what I absolutely love about it.

Have any of you tried Mac's Love and Friendship? I would love to hear your thoughts about
this polish and please do share if there is a dupe out there!

Have a great one loves <3!

Eyes: Satin Taupe

Hello Beautifuls! It's been awhile since I have blogged, I hope everyone is doing great!

I wanted to start off by saying that Satin Taupe by Mac is my #1 Eyeshadow, I feel like it can be applied for a day time look, a night time look and it looks beautiful on all skin tones. I jusr love Satin Taupe, if I was stranded somewhere and was to pick one eyeshadow it would be satin taupe!!










Eyes: Satin Taupe e/s, on the outer corner I used Go by Mac for some depth.
Lineur Intense Eyeliner in Carbon Black
Mascara : Estee Lauder Voluminous in Black
I did not add falsies here, but if it is a night time look I would definitely add some
carbon to the outer corner and feather out the e/s along with some flirty falsies!

Face: Cover Fx in B15
Cheeks: Lorac Hot&Spicy Blush and Bronzer duo.
Love how this duo gives a fresh and healthy glow to the skin.
It is definitely a beautiful combo.

Lips: I used Gosh's Darling Lipstick which is a lovely nude
and topped it off with a clear lip gloss to add some shine.

Enjoy the look loves! Hope you all have a great day and
keep a look out for more looks.

PS. Let me know what you think of this FOTD!!

XOXO

Eyes: Pink and Bronze


Good Evening loves, Hope everyone is having an awesomee day ! I went out for my sister's surprise birthday yesterday and this is the look that I came up with using the Urban Decay Ammo Palette. I love urban decay eye shadows, they are so vibrant, the fallout can be annoying but that can easily be swept away by a fluffy brush.


Eyes: primed with perky paint pot
UD e/s in Chopper,Smog & Sin.

Face: Cover Fx Foundation in B15
Nuance Blush and Contoured with a dark brown eyeshadow ( this works best for me)

Lips: Mac 's Pink Nouveau, set with endless love eyeshadow on top.
(yes I did set my lips with eyeshadow, this is the trick to matte lips, that last all night, and it is also a plus b/c you can make your own colours!




I pulled my hair back and teased the crown a bit so it wasn't flat and added simple pearl earrings
for a sleek and classy look!




Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed this look for a night out! Getting glammed up is always exciting! :) Have a great one!

My Top 10 Pigments

Hello girls, hope everyone is doing well as the holiday madness is over and we are now back to reality with work or school! The break was refreshing as I really needed the time off to just not think about exams or assignments. I wanted to brighten up the mood a bit and show you guys my top 10 most favorite pigments, I believe some of these are L/E however I am sure you can do a swap or two on makeupalley to find any of these.


Call it OCD, call it whatever you like...I don't know why but I just love keeping my makeup in it's original packaging even though I do use it. I find I can store it better and it just looks more tidy. I tried several times to throw away the boxes but it just doesn't feel right, so bare with me.



Top Left: Gold stroke, Royal Flush, Tea Time, Melon, Rushmetal
Bottom Left: Dark Soul, Mutiny, Kitchmas,Teal, Golden Lemon



What are some of your favorite pigments , leave a comment below as I would
love to try out new pigments and add them to my collection.

Thank you so much for stopping by!
Have a good one!

FOTN: Look using all greens

So, since there is absolutely no green left in the city of Toronto due to the cold, and snow, I brought the greens out myself! Another face of the day, I thought I would change it up a bit and use some brighter colours on the eyes and keep a nude lip. I hope you guys enjoys this look.






Eyes: Mac's Bitter and Mac's Lime e/s (inner corner)
Bitter is my all time favorite green e/s, I love the way it comes on and is so easy to work with.
I blended that out with Mac's Talent Pool e/s and the outer V consists of Mac's Teal pigment, this pigment is beautiful aswell.
Mac's Zoomllash for the lashes, you can certainly add falsies, but I kept it simple and lined the eyes with Mac's Fluidline.

For the face : Mac's NC42 Mineralize Skin Finish
Cheeks: I contoured with Mac's Deep Dark and Finished off with Mac's Nuance on the cheeks.

For the Lips: I used a new lipstick I bought at the sale called Colour Crafted, and I topped it off
with a nude lipglass called C-Thru.



Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed this FOTN!
Have a great one!

Eyes: Simple FOTD




In this FOTD I used my HD MUFE foundation in #173.

Eyes: Quad from Artistry in Medium
Mac's Black Track Fluidline
Mac's Zoomlash in Black

Cheeks: Mac's Refined Golden

Lips: Body Shop's Lipstick in # 42
I really like this colour because it is matte yet
does not dry out the lips.


I wanted to add that I have a new found love for animal print scarves, I just got this
cheetah print scarf and I just love how it is so bold and how it brought out my outfit.
I got this scarf at H&M for about 14$, if I find any more animal prints
at better prices I am definitely going to make a collection out of it. 

Thanks for stopping by Beautifuls!

to a contour since the eyes are dramatic.

I blended all three colours transitioning the black to the purple to the pink.
Lined the eyes with Mac's fluidline and used Estee Lauder's
volumizing mascara.

Cheeks: Contoured using Dark Brown Bronzer
Lips: NYX lipgloss in Beige

Subtle Smokey Blue/Grey : Mac's Tone Grey L/E Quad


Hello Loves, I did a very quick and simple look with
this l/e grey & blue eyeshadow quad. I used the lightest colour on the inner corner and
blended it outwards with the two middle toned colours and smoked out the look
with the darkest blue. To enhance the look you can add a darker black blue shadow to your outer " V",
this will definitely intensify the look. I decided to keep it more simple. 
I kept the lips neutral and just contoured my cheeks using a
dark brown bronzer with no shimmer.
Hope you guys enjoy this look, and let me know what you think.
Happy Holidays!



Final look!
