On the 19th of May, I turned 24 and as a benefit of being a beauty loop member (now a level three) for Mecca I had a free make up application for the day. I booked it for 10am as I had a day planned where I spent time with just about everyone. I have in the last two months had my make up done at Mecca three times and there is nothing better than having someone else taking on that responsibility for the day.
To prepare for the application I was looking online for various eye shadow looks as I wanted something a little more flashy than usual for my birthday. Most of the looks centered around a deep red smokey eye look. Below I found a photo that incorporates the browns that suit my eyes as well as a deeper red tone. It does on here look a little pink but on my phone it is quite a deep red.
Eye look that I was aiming for:

Make up by Mecca:
Lighting is something that makes make up look different. This is the issue I had with a couple of parts of the make up once it was completed. It looked fantastic in store, also looked fantastic once I had left I just felt a couple of things weren't quite me. The lip once outside in natural lighting was quite orange which while looked nice wasn't the right fit for the look I was going for. This is something I went home and changed, I ended up using a more grey purple toned nude. Also my eyebrows were very light and fluffy, I prefer mine a little deeper as they are framing my face. This is another part I tweaked. Lasting the eye wasn't as deep as I was looking for so I went home and added a deeper red to my crease.
After I tweaked my make-up:
