Disney Series: Belle inspired eye look

I am a huge fan of all things Disney and I love to try and incorporate it into my life through home decor, clothing, nail polish and of course my makeup! I try and subtlety have Disney in my everyday life without being considered the "crazy Disney obsessed 21 year old" :P I find myself inspired by all of the incredible characters and beautiful animation in the Disney films, especially the Disney princesses. My favourite princess is Belle from Beauty and the Beast. She is so intelligent and independent and seems to be one of if not the only princess who saves the prince. To do this makeup tutorial I tried to pull together the gold from her dress and the brown and bronze tons from the Beast. I also really wanted to try and bring in a reddish burgundy shade that always reminds me of the enchanted rose. I think that with this look you could make it less dramatic for an everyday look by leaving out the glitter and liner. I love how this look came out and I hope any of you disney fans out there do too :) 
This is the completed look. I will include a picture with the lip shade I decided to include as well. .
I am experimenting with lighting to try and show the entire look. I really wanted to showcase the glitter with this shot. 
I took this shot with my iPad, the camera on my phone was unable to capture the lighting correctly to have the eye look and the lip colour as the focus. I also think this picture shows the real burgundy and bronze combination that was created. In real life the intensity of the colours is much closer to this picture. I had very little face makeup on in this picture, I wasn't going to include the lips but I thought that the lip colour was just too pretty to leave out. 
These are the shadows I used:
-Maybelline colour tattoo in the shade Bold Gold as a base
- MAC eyeshadow in shade Retrospeck on lid
- wet'n wild Vanity palette gold shade mixed with Retrospeck 
- MAC eyeshadow in Cranberry through the crease
- wet'n wild Vanity palette bronze shade in outer corner and mixed through outer half of crease with Cranberry
- highlight inner corner with any shimmer shade, I used the one in the wet'n wild palette
 These are the glitters that I used for the lower lash line. These are from the company Lit cosmetics in the shades "Hot Chocolate" and "Beach Baby". I used their clear liquid and fine tipped brush to apply them. 
These are the liners and lip products I used to complete the look. 
-Essence super fine liquid liner
-Rimmel scandal eyes nude liner for inner rim
- Mary Kay lipstick in shade "inspiration" 
- Beautifully Disney lip gloss in shade "A Rose is a Rose" 

So that is one of my Disney inspired looks. I can't wait to create more now that I have finished my school semester. I hope you enjoyed it!
