By now she needs no introduction, so let's jump straight into our Makeup of the Week with Sophie Garth.

This week it's not just 1 makeup look but 3! I couldn't get coloured mascara out of my head since the BR article about them. I know Benefit has released some but it almost physically pains me to pay over $40 for a mascara! So I finally got my hands on this baby: Avon SuperShock Brights Mascara in Royal. I know some of you ladies were a wee bit gun-shy with the coloured mascaras so I thought I'd give you some ideas...
So that we aren't here all day, let's just go through the eye looks. I've used the same base, brows and lip for all 3 looks (my lips were a bit stained in the first photo!)
Look 1.
- ColourPop Eyeshadow in Hanky Panky
- Avon Mega Effects liquid eyeliner
- Avon SuperShock Brights Mascara in Royal
- Apply 'Hanky Panky' (or any matte flesh toned eyshadow) from lashline to brow.
- Then using a liquid liner (I used Avon Mega Effects as it's marker-type tip makes it really easy for beginners) draw a line along your upper lashline and if you're feeling brave you could even pull it out into a wing!
- Curl your lashes with an eyelash curler and apply the mascara to both your top and bottom lashes.
Look 2.
Products used:
- Maybelline The Nudes palette
- Essence Liquid Ink Eyeliner in Black
- L'Oreal Paris Silkissime Eyeliner in Cobalt Blue
- Too Faced Perfect Eyes Eyeliner in Black
- Maybelline Volum' Express mascara in Black
- Avon SuperShock Brights Mascara in Royal
- Start with a matte flesh tone again from lashline to brow. Then choose a shade or two darker and apply just to your eyelid and blend the edges.
- Now for the liquid liner! Drag the liner along your upper lashline and pull out into a wing. Draw the black eyeliner on your upper waterline and the blue eyeliner on your lower waterline.
- Next draw the blue eyeliner along your lower lashline from the inner corner up to meet your winged liquid liner. Blend this down a little bit but not so much that you lose the colour intensity.
- Now for the mascara, apply the black on your top lashes and the blue on your bottom lashes and you're done!
Look 3:
- Too Faced Return of Sexy palette
- Essence Liquid Ink Eyeliner in Black
- Avon SuperShock Brights Mascara in Royal
Time to go to town!
- Apply 'Pink Diamond' from lashline to brow. Swipe 'Hopeless Romantic' along the crease and blend upward. Pat 'Icon' onto your lid and blend into the crease. Also drag this along your lower lashline.
- Place 'Primadonna' on the outer edge of your eyelid and blend outwards. You can also blend this along the lower lashline about one-third of the way.
- Apply the liquid liner along your upper lashline as closely to your lashes as you can manage.
- Curl your lashes with an eyelash curler and apply the mascara to both your top and bottom lashes.
Definitely rocking that royal blue colour. I enjoy the variations so much. Thanks for opening my eyes.
