Hello Lovlies! Welcome back to Sense Of Beauty! Today's blogpost will be a Full-Face Tutorial using some eyeshadows from the W7 Lightly Toasted Eyeshadow Palette!
Before we begin, here's a look at the eyeshadows that are included in the eyeshadow palette by W7!
W7 eyeshadow palettes are excellent! All eyeshadows have great pigmentation and they're really inexpensive! W7 eyeshadow palettes can vary in price, usually between €7-€10! They can be purchased in many chemists! I definitely recommend these palettes if you're on a budget and looking to grow your eyeshadow collection!
Here's a Before and After shot of Róisín!
Let's jump into the tutorial!! :)
Step One:
I applied the Botanics Radiance All Bright Cream to Róisín's face and neck! I picked this up in Boots for around €7.99. This is meant to be a "dupe" for MAC's Strobe Cream! This adds an iridescent glow to your skin. If you're someone who prefers a dewy look, this is definitely for you!
Step Two:
For foundation, I used Maybelline's Dream Satin Liquid Foundation in 04 Light Porcelain. I applied the foundation using a Stipple Brush from AliExpress to Róisín's face and neck. I applied one even coat to her skin.
Step Three:
I applied concealer to Róisín's under eye area in the shape of a triangle. I prefer to apply concealer like this as it can act as a highlight to your face. I used a W7 concealer in the shade Fair. I used a small Buff Brush to apply and blend the concealer.
Step Four:
To apply a slight colour to Róisín's eyebrows I used a Collection Brown Mascara. Using a Brow Gel will look more natural. I used it in the shade 3 Brown. I lightly brushed it through Róisín's eyebrows.
Step Five:
As an eyeshadow base I used Essence's I Love Stage Base. I applied it to Róisín's eyelids and blended it out using my ring finger.
Step Six:
Then, I applied a Maybelline Colour Tattoo in the shade 35 - On and on Bronze. I used a Flat Shader Brush by Essence to apply the product. I applied the product to Róisín's lid, not going above the crease.
Step Seven:
For the first eyeshadow, I used the 4th eyeshadow. It matches the Maybelline Colour Tattoo perfectly! I applied this using the same eyeshadow brush as the Maybelline Colour Tattoo. I applied this directly on top of the Colour Tattoo.
Step Eight:
For the second eyeshadow, I used the 3rd eyeshadow. This is a soft brown, perfect shade to blend out the lid colour and act as a transition shade. I used a large fluffy blending brush to blend this into the outer corner and crease.
Step Nine:
The third eyeshadow is this warm-toned darker brown. I applied this using a smaller, more precise crease brush. I applied this into the outer corner and slightly into the crease.
Step Ten:
Using a Real Techniques Fluffy Blending Brush, I applied a highlight shade to Róisín's brow bone. I used the 1st shade in the eyeshadow palette.
Step Eleven:
Using the same shade as the previous step, I applied it to Róisín's inner tear duct. I used a small Essence Pencil Brush to apply it.
Step Twelve:
To smoke out the lower lash line, I applied the 5th eyeshadow, the warm brown shade. I used a No. 7 Pencil Brush. I applied the brown eyeshadow along my lower lash line.
Step Thirteen:
I curled Róisín's eyelashes using a Primark / Penneys Eyelash Curler. For mascara, I used a Rimmel London Kate Moss Mascara to Róisín's top lashes only.
Step Fourteen:
To set Róisín's under eye concealer, I used an Essence I Love Nude Eyeshadow in 01 Vanilla Sugar. To apply this I used an AliExpress Small Tapered Highlighter Brush. I applied this to the areas I applied the concealer.
Step Fifteen:
To set the rest of Róisín's face makeup, I used Maybelline's Matte Maker Face Powder in 10 Classic Ivory. I used a Large Powder Brush to apply the face powder. I ensured not to apply the face powder to the areas I applied the Essence eyeshadow.
Step Sixteen:
To add warmth to Róisín's face, I applied a NYC Bronzer in the shade 720A Sunny. I used a Real Techniques Blush Brush to apply the bronzer. I applied the bronzer to Róisín's cheekbones, along her jawline and on her temples.
Step Seventeen:
I applied Sleek's blush in 921 Suede. I applied the blush using a Real Techniques Stipple brush. I applied the blush to her outer cheekbone, towards her hair line.
Step Eighteen:
To complete the look, I applied an Essence Lip Liner in 11 In The Nude. These lipliners are only €1.29!!! They are excellent quality and the pigmentation is great!
The Finished Look! :)
That's the completed look! I hope you enjoyed today's blogpost! This look can be worn both day or night! I decided to leave eyeliner just to make it more wearable for day-time! Thanks for stopping by! See you in my next blogpost!

DIY GIFT:
For Mother's Day this year, I put together this really expensive gift! It's a manicure jar! Let's get into the DIY :)
What You'll Need For The Jar:
-Glass Jar
-Cotton Wool Balls
-Manicure Set
-Selection of Nail Polishes
Here's a look at the first nail polish:
Name:
Essence Colour & Go Nail Polish
Shade:
111 English Rose
The second polish:
Name:
NYC In A Minute Quick Dry Nail Polish
Shade:
246 Park Ave
The third polish:
Name:
Penneys P.S. Love Nail Polish
Step One:
Place cotton wool balls into the base of the glass jar.

The jar is now finished! Super easy! :)
What You'll Need For The Outside Of The Jar:
-Gold Card
-Green Card
-Scissors
-Pencil
-Permanent Marker
-Glue Stick
-Sellotape
Step One:
Draw the background of the decoration. I went for a pointed design. I flipped the gold card around because there was a white back. This was much easier to draw on than the gold.
Step Two:
Cut out the shape with scissors.
Step Three:
Draw two peas in a pod onto your green card. Once drawn, cut out with scissors and draw in their eyes and mouth with the black permanent marker.
Step Four:
Using the Glue Stick, Glue the peas (Green Card) onto the Gold Card.
Step Five:
Use your Black Permanent Marker and write your desired slogan onto the Gold Card.
Using the peas, I went with
"HA-PEA" Mother's Day! <3
Step Six:
Sellotape the Gold Card to the Jar.
