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:
Barry M Lipgloss - 11
Collection 2000 Cream Puff - Fairy Cake 3

Thank you for reading...

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!

xoxo
