Gradient Lips...

The finished look! (Hair down)

Finished look (Hair up) Couldn't decided which one I rathered, haha!

Hey guys, another quick little post!

I bought Kate Moss Lipstick from Rimmel, it's No4, a dark purple, almost black! I bought it to experiment with mainly, then I thought it would be awesome for Halloween. 

I did a quick little look with some gold and lilac colours on the lid, with a mossy green on the lower lash line! I contoured the cheeks, with very dark bronzer and used a lighter BB Cream for the skin, to make the look more dramatic and Halloween-esqe!

To get the gradient lip look, I lined the lips with an eyeko eyeliner pencil in Plum (got to work with what you got, ey?) I then added the Kate Moss lipstick around the edge and I then added Pink Punch from maybelline in the centre of the lip! 

More looks coming soon... Hope you enjoyed :)

Kirsten Stewart Inspired...

The finished look.

Hey Everyone!

My kind friend Catherine, yet again let me borrow her face for me to experiment on, and i got inspired by pixiwoo from youtube to do the Kirsten Stewart inspired look! I love using Catherine as her deep eye sockets and large lids are very easy to work with, as the product can be blended and you still have the highlight space under the brow!

I love recreating these looks and love sharing them on my blog for you guys, to give you inspiration for night outs, weddings, and any other occasions.

As for the products I used, I tried to keep them as close as I could to the pixiwoo tutorial. I will list them below:

Base:

Revlon Colourstay Foundation - Sand (was not happy with the flashback from this product)

MAC eyeshadow in Charcoal Brown for the Brows, using Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil in Dark Brown for the end of the brows.

Eyes:

Maybelline Gel Eyeliner - Black, all over the lid

MAC eyeshadow - Cranberry, over the black gel liner

Bourjois Delice de Soleil - 12 Fair/Medium Skin, in the crease to blend

Maybelline Gel Eyeliner - Black, to line, waterline, under the eye and tightline

Smashbox Mascara - Black

HD Brows Pallete- used black shade for outer corner of the eye

Face: 

Bourjois Delice de Soleil Bronzer

Maybelline Dream Matte Powder

Lips:

Hey Abbie's Beauties :)

Finally, a new make-up look! It's been agggesss... 

As one of my friends in work is getting married this summer, I was inspired to do a wedding makeup look. 

I got inspired by the simplicity of Bella Swans make-up from the Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn! I love the hint of colour on the corner of her eyes, with a smoky lid.. very sultry and sexy without too much. As i think less is more on your wedding day! As for the lips... The natural Collection Lipsticks are £1!!!!! They are so so so moisturising and go on the lips so smooth and pigmented. The staying power of the lipstick is amazing too.. Got to have a good lipstick with all the kisses you will be giving on your wedding day including the most important one! <3

I hope you like this make-up look :)

Hollywood Glamour!

All you need for this look is...

Favourite Lip Liner in a Brick Red/Plum Colour, or in my case my new eyeliner pencil from Eyeko in Plum!

Favourite Mascara, i'm using Makeup Forever Smoky Lash.

Eyelash Curler, mine is form No7

Finally, your favourtie red lippy. I got Maybeline Lipstick (547, Pleasure Me Red)

Firstly, I put on Painterly Paint Pot all over my lids.

Then I added MAC Brule, just a neutral light base colour to stop anything creasing.

And... add your favourite mascara, and LOTS of it! Leave the bottom lashes clear of mascara, or if you don't like that look, add a tiny bit!

Line your lip and colour it in slightly with your lip liner...

Then for the fun bit, add your favourite RED LIPPY!

Hey guys... Just another quick makeup look for you. I love how simple but effective this look, plenty or drama, but so easy to do! 

Hope you like this look, and try it out for yourselves even if it is only for a bit of fun!

Sleek Acid i Divine Palette Look #2

Firstly, I used Mac Painterly Paint Pot, all over my lids as a base.

I then applied the raspberry colour from the Sleek Acid i Divine Palette and mixed it with a little 'Sin' from the Urban Decay Naked Palette, to make it more iridescent. 

I then applied, the true purple colour from the Sleek Palette and used a Lauren Luke Pencil brush to apply it on the lower lash line.

Next, I chose the dark grey form the Sleek Palette and used a blending brush to apply it to the outer corner of the eye and into the crease.

I then lined my lids with Collection 2000 Extreme Felt Tip Liner in Black. I also applied Bourjois Volume Fast and Perfect Mascara in Black.

The finished look!

Hi Beautifuls!

Since I love the Sleek Acid i Divine Palette so much, I thought i would make use of all the colours and do a little Acid Series of makeup looks! So.. this is number two! I hope you like it :)

Hey Abbie's Beauties!

I just wanted to show you a quick blog post about my ever growing MAC collection so far, I've been buying a lot more recently and i also received some for Christmas. I love MAC, but I don't think its the be all and end all of make-up, so I refuse to buy every blush colour, when half of them won't suit me anyway.

Hope you like it, and there will definitely be a new post up about soon, no doubt!
