Eye products you will need:
- Eyeshadow primer – watch out for our new OCC Skin:Primer, hitting the shelves in October
- Heavenly Naturals Mix Drops
- FaceFront Paint Me Perfect in Heroic, or Heavenly Naturals Mineral Eye Pigment in Emo or Dream Girl
- Heavenly Naturals Mineral Eye Pigment in Diva
- Heavenly Naturals Mineral Eye Pigment in Bubbles
- Coastal Scents Gel Liner in True Black or Stellar
- A highlight colour such as a skin-toned colour within your Coastal Scents Contour & Blush Palette, FaceFront Paint Me Perfect in Skinny Dipper or your mineral foundation
Brushes you will need:
- Sigma SS252 shader brush
- Sigma SS239 eye shading brush
- Sigma SS224 blending brush
- Sigma SS275 angled shading brush
- Sigma SS219 pencil brush
- Sigma SS209 eye liner brush or Sigma SS266 small angle brush
Step One: Apply a small amount of eye shadow primer to your lid. We use FaceFront Survival Paint.
Step Two: Mix your black pigment with a drop of Heavenly Naturals Mix Drops. Using your Sigma SS252 Shader Brush apply this carefully to your upper eyelid from the inner corner, right across to your outer lid. Create a point out past your crease, keeping in line with your lower water line. This creates the basic shape of your eye shadow look.
Step Three (optional): Using the other side of the same brush, apply Heavenly Naturals Eye Pigment in Emo on top of the base black. This is a matte colour which is what we need in this look. Take care when using this dark colour to avoid black fall out on your cheeks. Make sure you tap excess pigment off the brush before applying. Check out our other hints for fall out in our blog.
Step Four: Using your Sigma SS266 small angle brush or your Sigma SS209 eye liner brush, apply Coastal Scents Gel Liner in True Black or Stellar right across your lower lid, in a line close to the lash line. Before the liner dries, smudge it out with the same brush dipped in a small amount of black pigment.
Step Five: Take your Sigma SS239 eye shading brush and blend Heavenly Naturals Mineral Eye Pigment in Diva to the edges of the black, taking this colour higher up on your lid and past the outer corner of your eye. Bring this colour down under the eye by blending it into the black on the lower lid. Use a clean, dry Sigma SS224 blending brush to really diffuse the colour out.
Step Six: Diffuse the bright violet into your skin by using a highlight colour with your Sigma SS275 angled shading brush. Apply both under the brow, and underneath the eye. Use the highlight colour to sharpen the lower line of the point at the outer corner of your eye.
Step Seven: Using your Sigma SS219 pencil brush, apply Heavenly Naturals Mineral Eye Pigment in Bubbles to the inner corner of your eye, blending up and down from the point. This shimmery white pigment, with purple highlights gives your eyes a more youthful appearance, and will make your eyes pop!
Step Eight: Using your Sigma SS266 small angle brush or your Sigma SS209 eye liner brush, apply Coastal Scents Gel Liner in True Black or Stellar to your lower water line.
Step Nine: Apply your favourite false lashes and mascara, and you’re ready to go!
Don’t forget to apply a nude lip colour so you don’t detract from your eyes. We recommend Coastal Scents Smacks Lip Gloss. Check out our Handy Hint blog entry on the Perfect Lip.

If you are just getting into the make up scene and don’t really know where to start, we have come up with a list of essentials, that will get you on your way to creating flawless beauty every day.
Essential # 1: A large powder brush for the application of mineral foundation and blush. We recommend the Sigma SS150 powder brush, but some people prefer a duo fiber brush such as the Sigma SS187.
Essential #2: An eye shadow brush for the application of both base and crease eye shadow colours. A set of eye shadow brushes is ideal, but to get your started we recommend a Sigma SS252 or SS239 brush which will both give you a lot of potential.
Essential #3: Mineral Foundation. We recommend Heavenly Naturals Mineral Foundation. After washing your face, and applying your moisturiser and sun block, even out your skin tone with the application of some mineral foundation. Mineral make up is good for your skin, allows it to breath and contains natural sun protection. Using a small amount in the lid, swirl a large powder brush in the pigment to ensure it is evenly caught in the bristles. Apply using a 3 motion to the left side of your face, and an E motion to the right side of your face. This means starting at the middle of the forehead, moving the brush down past the side of your eye, up around the apple of your cheek, down past your jaw line to your chin. Do this on each side ensuring you cover your entire face.
Essential #4: Blush Powder. We recommend Face Front CheekUp mineral blush powder. It is amazing how a little bit of colour to your cheeks gives you such a radiant glow. Apply using your large powder brush, or duo fiber brush. Apply only a small amount of colour at a time, and build up to a darker shade if necessary. When you smile, the balls of your cheeks are where you want to apply the blush colour. Apply in a circular motion and then draw the brush up your cheekbones to ensure the colour is blended evenly.
Essential # 5: Two eye shadow colours (base and crease colour). We recommend Heavenly Naturals Eye Pigment, OCC Loose Colour Concentrate and FaceFront Paint Me Perfect Mineral Eye Pigments. You can create a stunning smoky eye look using just two eye shadow colours. Choose a mid-toned colour with a bit of shimmer for your base. Grey, silver and brown are very popular, but you can be more daring and choose a purple, blue or green shade. Apply this right across the eye lid using your eye shadow brush. Choose a darker colour for your crease. This can be matte or shimmer. Press the crease colour onto the outer corner of your eye lid, on top of your base colour. Using a sweeping motion, sweep the crease colour along your crease to blend nicely into the base colour. Blend the crease colour into the outer corner of your eye and up on your outer brow bone. Blend well to create a diffused look.
Essential #6: Mascara! Use a tried and tested brand, one that you are happy with.
That’s it! After you have purchased the essentials, and started experimenting with your products, you will quickly learn that there are no limits with good quality make up. You will be able to start experimenting with different coloured eye shadows, and create natural looking day time looks, and striking evening looks. Get started today and realise the limitless potential that is out there!
Step One: Apply a small amount of eye shadow primer to your lid. We use FaceFront Survival Paint.
Step Two: Add a drop of Heavenly Naturals Mix Drops into the lid of your FaceFront Paint Me Perfect Eye Pigment in Early Spring. Mix in enough of the pigment to create a dry paste. Using your Sigma SS252 brush, press the wet shadow onto your entire lid. Using more of the dry pigment, blend the colour up onto your outer lid towards the brow bone.
Step Three: Using one side of your Sigma SS239 brush, press a small amount of OCC Loose Colour Concentrates in Frigid to the inner half of your lid on top of the base colour. Using the other side of your Sigma SS239 brush, press Heavenly Naturals Eye Pigment in Kingdom to the outer half of your lid. Blend the two colours where they meet in the middle of your eyelid.
Step Four: Using your Sigma SS224 blending brush, blend Heavenly Naturals Eye Pigment in Daddy’s Girl into your crease. Sweep the colour up towards your brow bone.
Step Four: To create a shadow, use your Sigma SS224 brush with Heavenly Naturals Eye Pigment in Mystery in your outer crease. Using a dry blending brush, make sure the colours are blended together nicely into your lid.
Step Five: If you need to pull the colour down, or just want to add a highlight to your brow bone, use your Sigma SS275 brush with your highlight colour. We use FaceFront Paint Me Perfect in Skinny Dipper, or OCC Loose Colour Concentrates in Titania.
Step Six: Using your Sigma SS219 pencil brush, sweep your purple colour under the lower lash line and blend into the outer corner of the eye. You can use your Heavenly Naturals Eye Pigment in Daddy’s Girl, or for a darker look, use Heavenly Naturals Eye Pigment in Enchantress. For a more vibrant look, use FaceFront Paint Me Perfect in Weekend Warrior.
Step Seven: Apply a line of black eye liner close to your upper lash line. We use Coastal Scents Gel Liner in True Black with a Sigma SS209 or SS266 brush. To add sparkle, add a line of Heavenly Naturals Glitter Eye Liner in Disco Ball on top of the black liner.
Step Eight: Finish the look off with lashings of your favourite mascara, and some false lashes if you are feeling daring!
We get so many people asking us how to create the most amazingly perfect eyes of our EyeSpice cover girl. Although we don’t have a video tutorial for this, you can follow the below steps to create this look, and dazzle your friends.
This is a complex one! – Grade: Difficult
What you will need:
Step One: After applying your Heavenly Naturals Mineral Foundation, apply a small amount of eye shadow primer to your eyelid. We use FaceFront Survival Paint.
Step Two: Using your Sigma SS252 brush, apply pink to the upper lid from just inside the inner corner, to approximately one third of the way across the lid. Also apply this colour to the outer corner of the lid, up to the brow bone.
Step Three: Using the same Sigma SS252 brush, apply the charcoal colour to the upper lid from two thirds of the way along, to the outer corner. Using a clean Sigma SS275 blending brush, blend this charcoal colour up the outer corner of your brow bone to create a diffused blended line between the pink and the charcoal. With a Sigma SS219 pencil brush, apply a small amount of charcoal into the very inner corner of your eye and sweep this upwards almost to the brow bone, blending it to diffuse into the pink colour. Also pull the colour a small way under the inner corner of your lower lid.
Step Four: Using a Sigma SS252 or SS239 brush, dab the gold colour to the very centre of your upper lid, almost to the brow bone. Using a dry Sigma SS275 blending brush, very gently blend the gold into the pink and charcoal on either side. With a very small amount of pigment on your blending brush, blend some gold to the very outer edges of the pink and charcoal colours and create a diffused appearance between the 3 colours. Pull the gold from the temple area, down below the outer corner of the lower eyelid. Using your Sigma SS219 brush, dab a small amount of gold to the lower inner corner of your eye and blend this into the charcoal.
Step Five: Using your Eye liner, draw/paint a thin line below the lower lashes from the center, to the outer corner. Let this dry for half a minute. Also draw/paint a thin line above the top lashes at the lash line.
Step Six: Using your Sigma SS209 or SS266 brush, sweep a line of charcoal from the middle of the lower lash line (on top of the eye liner), out past the corner of your outer eye to create the appearance of larger eyes.
Step Seven: If you need to use your highlight colour to tidy up any edges, highight your brow (just below your outer eye brow, or to add a bit of highight to the inner corner of your eye, do this now.
Step Eight (Finishing Touches): Add a line of eyeliner to your water line, coat your lashes with two layers of mascara and fill in your brows with eye brow tint. For the rest of your face, give your cheeks some colour, add a touch of gloss to your lips (you don’t want too much colour to detract from your eyes), and….
You’re now ready to hit the town!
