Thanks to the genius that is E. L. James we are all in a tizzy over Fifty Shades of Grey and more notably, Mr Grey! So in the spirit of all things sultry, sexy and oh so naughty here are my top makeup products... yep... you guessed it... in varying shades of grey! Afterall, 'we aim to please...'.
While I certainly wouldn't suggest going all out grey on your makeup look - ending up more Walking Dead than Anastasia Steele isn't the look we're going for! However, adding just a touch of grey tones to your look can add some real sophistication and best of all, grey is a neutral which means anyone can wear it. Just 'forget about the rules' and 'embrace your inner goddess'!
Now nobody does pearly sheen better than Ben Nye and pearly sheen in grey tones... yum! Ben Nye's Pearl Sheen Eye Accent's in Electric Eel, Nightclub and Silver Grey can be applied wet for intense colour and sheen or use a dry brush for a softer effect. Oh so blendable and you'll love the payoff. Apply all over the lid for a soft smokey effect thats soft and wearable, even during the day.
Fancy even more shimmer? Grab yourself Ben Nye's Fireworks Creme Color in Silver Satin and apply to your lids with a fingertip or a synthetic brush. A pretty and soft radiance will ensue, making your inner goddess soar... (not sore!).
Top with Sugarpill's ChromaLust Loose Eyeshadow in Grand Tiara for a jewel-like dazzle. For extra sexiness use a dry brush and apply to your decolletage making you more than ready to 'chase the dawn' with Mr Grey :D
Like your look more feline? See yourself as a bit more Mrs Robinson? Get yourself some La Femme Cake Eyeliner in Charcoal and using a wet angled eyeliner brush, apply close to your lashes, adding a soft or dramatic feline flick at the outer corners (if your eye shape can take it). You'll be 'fifty shades of...' oh so sexy in no time!
Want an easier life? Get Stila's Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in Alloy, a handy on-the-go pen eyeliner making your DIY job (geddit?!) easy peasy, baby oil squeezy!
Daring enough to go for a dark lip? Occ Cosmetic Colour Pencil in Tarred followed by Occ Lip Tar in Tarred is sure to make your palm-twitching lover want to bite that lip! Only for the brave hearted!
Want something more subtle? Try Joe Blasco Lipgloss in Ghost, a pearlized grey coloured gloss, stunning, sheer and shiny which is sure to make any billionaire want to give you the world... and more, more, more...
There you have it, Fifty shades (almost!) of makeup, you're all set to go!
Remember, 'You are not just a pretty face...'
Laters, baby!
