Blog collaboration ft Umayma Abdul

Hi BEAUTS! 

Welcome back to my page once again! So let's get straight to what this post is all about - a blog collaboration! How exciting? I know right ... So a friend of mine who goes by the name of Umayma Abdul is a fashion and travel blogger. She had recently been working a lot on her blog website so I thought why not feature her on my blog! 

So we decided, to come up with the idea of creating a day look in terms of make-up and fashion! Of course me being the handy woman with make-up and herself being a fashion graduate. FUN!

The collaboration idea was definitely my favourite, as we did shoot a video of the transformation process! A friend of ours, had also given us a hand with photography too. 

Check out Umayma's casual day wear outfit she put together for this blog collaboration - for more photos on her outfit and hijab style visit her blog: www.umaymaabdul.com 

NOW on to the make-up! When Umayma had shown me the outfit she had picked out for the collaboration I just thought straight away it's perfect for a subtle day look - dewy, contour, highlight all those pretty things! Heres what I used for her look:

1. Kryolan stick foundation for base, Mac foundation NC35 & concealer NC30

2. Illamasqua eye cream pigment in Hollow, Naked 2 palette shades: Chopper, Snakebite, Bootycall, Nars Artist palette shades: Dark brown, Mac eye shadow shade: Brun, L'Oreal gel eyeliner, Mascara: Maybelline Great Lash mascara blackest black

3. Cheeks Sleek coral palette, Contour Mac sweet as cocoa and Tom Ford shade and illuminate palette, Illamasqua Gleam highlighter

4. Lipstick Mac Pander Me

Here is the video of the transformation!

 

So after Umayma's soft subtle look I decided to go ahead and create a common look which is asked of me from my clients - a soft but noticeable smoked eye! Check out the photo down below ...

Here is what I used to create the soft smoked look above:

1. Illamasqua skinbase foundation shade 12, Nars creamy concealer in Caramel

2. Tom Ford shade and illuminate palette to contour and highlight

3. Eyes: Naked 2 palette shades: Snakebite, Bootycall, Busted, Tease, Mascara: Estee Lauder extreme waterproof

4. Lipstick Mac Half n half & Pander Me mixed together

These looks are really easy to recreate and if you do give it a go and would like me to check it out, post your photos on instagram and hashtag #beauteasy

Do let me know what you think of this blog collaboration, and what looks you would like to see me do next!

Hope you lovelies enjoyed this post!

Love,
