Testing Flower Eye Liner

Festival season has finally arrived! I find festival season is a great time to to experiment and take your makeup game to the next level. While going through Instagram, I found cute flower eyeliner looks I thought would be great for a festival look or even just for a cute spring/summer time look. 

I decided to try the flower eyeliner look for myself and share them with you. I will share what products I used for each look and share how easy the looks were to create for myself, just in case you would like to try them out for yourself. I have four looks to share but you can be as creative/experimental as you want, which is what I love about this.

Look One 

Products used:

• NYX Vivid Brights Liner in the shades Violet, Sapphire, Envy and Halo
• NYX White Liquid Liner

This is the first look and the easiest. With this look, you create the flowers to be the actual eyeliner. You can start in the inner corner of the eye or from the middle it is totally up to you. They start small in size and then get bigger and then smaller as it goes into the flick. I just created crosses and then put a dot in the middle to create the flowers to make it easier for myself and added some green lines for leaves. I also found that this was the quickest look of all four.

Look Two

Products used:

• NYX Vivid Brights Liner in the shades Fire, Petal, Halo and Envy
• NYX White Liquid Liner

With this look I tried to create Roses into the flower liner. I also brought the flowers down onto the lower lash line. This one was a little bit more difficult than the first look but it was still pretty easy to do. To create the rose, I just put a rough circle shape, as roses are not a perfect circle shape and then added some white lines to make it look like the petals of a rose. I added more leaves to this look just to break up the pink and red. 

Look Three

Products used:

• NYX Vivid Brights Liner in the shades Fire, Envy and Halo
• NYX White Liquid Liner
• Collection Glam Crystals Gel Eyeliner in the shade Le Freak 5 
• Kat Von D Tattoo Liner Liquid Eyeliner in the shade Trooper

This third look I have the traditional wing liner and added flowers round the liner for something a bit different. I tried to add some glitter using the Collection Glam Crystals Gel Eyeliner but it didn't turn out how I hoped and the Collection Liner looks more like a green blob than a flower. But I think the little flowers look cute, to create them I just did 5 dots of one colour and then one dot for the centre. Also if you are not sure where to go with just drawing flowers as eye liner, having the wing eye liner there helps as a guide on where to put the flowers.

Look Four

Products used:

• NYX Vivid Brights Liner in the shades Delight, Halo and Envy
• NYX White Liquid Liner
• Kat Von D Tattoo Liquid Eyeliner in the shade Trooper

This is the final look and my favourite, as I think its cute and simple. For this, it does help if you have a steady hand and a bit more time to spare to keep it neat. I have the traditional wing liner from the inner corner and made this liner a bit thicker than the third look. I added a vine that wraps itself around the wing liner with flowers coming off it. You can do any sort of flowers for this so you can make it as simple as you want. If you go over the wing liner with the green vine you can easily neaten it up with the black liner by going over the mistake.

Final Thoughts

Overall, I found the flower eyeliner cute and not too difficult to create. It can be a bit time consuming depending on what sort of look you are creating. I will defiantly be experiment with flower eye liner more for the summer and festivals. 
Will any of you be trying flower eyeliner for the summer? If you do, I would love to see the looks you create, you can share them with me on Instagram if you wish too. 

My Favourite Concealers

Hi everyone, today I thought I would share with you a few of my favourite concealers. These are ones that have worked great for me, everyone may not agree with me but everyone is different when it comes to makeup. I have four pictured but I actually have five to talk about, but you think I could find the fifth one? Nope, unless I used it all up and forgot to replace it. Anyway I have a mixture of high end and drugstore concealers I love so lets get on to talking about each one.

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer

Price: £4.19 Available at Superdrug & Boots

This is the concealer I can't seem to find in my collection unless I didn't replace it when I finished the last one. Anyway out of the concealers I'm talking about this one I have used for years and one I always go back to. It has thick formula and gives great coverage. It is pretty small so perfect for travelling or if you are on the go. The thing that bugs me about this is that it is only available in 4 shades. I personally wish there was a slightly lighter shade. This concealer has been around for years and you think they would of added a few more shades over the years. 

NYX Professional Makeup Concealer Wand

Price: £6.00 Available at Boots & Cult Beauty & NYX

This concealer I bought for a festival I was going to last year as I didn't want to take my high end concealer. So I grabbed this as the collection one was out of stock and I'm kinda glad as this was a gem of a find for me, I didn't expect it to be as good as it turned out to be. It doesn't have a thick formula and it feels soft and light when applied. It has pretty good coverage and I found it lasts all day, especially at a festival. It was also a good size for travelling. It also has a better shade range than a few drugstore brands and also has colour correcting shades which I think is pretty great.  

NARS Creamy Concealer 

Price: £23.00 Available at Nars & ASOS

This concealer I discovered from watching a few Youtube videos. I have very pale skin so it isn't the easiest to find the perfect shade and a lot of the Youtubers who had pale skin raved about this concealer in the shade Chantilly. I have to agree this concealer is pale and perfect for pale skin. They have darker shades and have more of a choice on shades than some brands. It gives a great coverage, has a thick formula and blends really nicely. This one is longer than the previous two but can easily fit into a makeup bag. It is one I have re purchased a few times.

Tarte Shape Tape Contour Concealer

Price:£28.00 (includes blending sponge) Available at QVC

So, if you haven't heard of this concealer then I don't know where you have been. As everyone has been talking about this for the past year or so. I will be honest I did buy it cause people were saying how great it is and I wanted to try it for myself to see if the rumours where true. What I found is that the rumours were true. The formula is thick and coverage is great and I find a little goes a long way. It is available in 6 shades and the lightest shade is what I use and great for pale skin. I found this to be bigger than what I expected especially the wand. The only problem with this is it is only available in the UK at QVC and the lightest shades sell out quick and takes a while to restock them.

Kat Von D Lock It Crème Concealer 

Price: £20.00 Available at Debenhams

Finally we have Kat Von D's Lock It Concealer. Kat Von D Beauty is my favourite makeup brand, everything I've used just works so well on me. So when the range came to Debenhams I bought this along with the foundation but to be honest you don't really need it with the foundation. It has a thick formula and gives good coverage. What I love about this one is how many shades are available and there is even a white one. So all my fellow pale people can have a concealer that works. The size is the same length at the NARS just a little wider. 

Well those were 5 of my favourite concealers, there are still more I want to try so who knows this could change in a year. 

Are any of these concealers your favourites? Is there any here you want to try? Comment and let me know.
