Disney Princess Series: Pocahontas

Hey everyone!

I have the 8th Disney Princess inspired look for you today and it's one of the more wearable looks in the series. This look is inspired by Pocahontas so we have lots of earthy and woodsy tones. Her skin is a beautiful copper brown shade and most of the film has that real warm rustic feel so I had to incorporate it into the look with the warm brown crease.

I used a sparkly copper pigment as liner to bring in some of the fairy-tale aspect from Disney. Pocahontas had a turquoise blue necklace which I added on the waterline and I think it contrasts really nicely with the warm tones of the look.

Here's the look:


This look is great if you have blue eyes and want them to stand out because the warm browns and coppers really brings out the coolness in blue eyes. The red tone in the browns will also make green eyes stand out and the turquoise liner would contrast beautifully with brown eyes.


This is what I used:
Face: MAC Face and Body Foundation in N1
          Collection Cosmetics Lasting Perfection Concealer in Fair
          ELF High Definition Powder
          Sleek Makeup Blush by 3 in Californ.I.A - Newport Peach
          Benefit Dallas Bronzer
          ELF Shimmer Palette
Eyes: Inglot Eyeshadow Matte 358 (Brows)
          Essence Lash and Brow Gel 
          Too Faced Shadow Insurance

          Inglot Eyeshadow D.S 456 (Soft Light Brown)
          Inglot Eyeshadow D.S 464 (Burnt Orange)
          Inglot Eyeshadow AMC 55 (Cranberry Shade)
          Inglot Eyeshadow AMC Shine 30 (Champagne)
          Inglot Eyeshadow Matte 354 (Skin Tone)
          Inglot Eyeshadow Matte 373 (Matte White)
          Inglot Eyeshadow AMC 63 (Matte Black)
          ELF Makeup Lock and Seal (Mixing Medium)

          Covergirl Clump Crusher Mascara
          Ardell Fairies Lashes
Lips: Catrice Cosmetics Ultimate Colour Lipstick in 020 Maroon

In The Deep End

Hey everyone!

Today's look is quite a fun and bright look while still being smokey (which are my two favorite combinations). It's a great look for a night out and looks pretty intense with the teal and pink that contrast off each other beautifully. The thing about this look is that this is my third time doing this makeup look to upload to the internet because each time I did it I ran out of time to take pictures as I had to rush out. So I'm so happy I finally got to upload this and I love how this looks.

Here's the look:



This is one of my new go to looks for when I'm going out, I just love how it looks. I went for a light natural pink lip to keep the focus on the eyes.


Here is a list of the products I used:

Face: Nars Sheer Glow Foundation in Light 02 Mont Blanc
         Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in 15
         Makeup Forever HD Powder
         Benefit Cha Cha Tint
         Benefit Dallas Bronzer
         ELF Shimmer Palette

         Essence Lash and Brow Gel
         Too Face Shadow Insurance
         Inglot Eyeshadow Matte 362 (Bright Pink)
         Inglot Eyeshadow AMC Shine 32 (Teal Green)
         Inglot Eyeshadow AMC Shine 33 (Aqua Blue)
         Inglot Eyeshadow Matte 340 (Very Dark Almost Black Teal)

Zest of Lime

Hey everyone!
I'm getting all in the mood for Autumn and Halloween and the Fall trends and makeup looks for Fall. One thing I'm not looking forward to is the weather (I hate cold weather and being cold in general). So today's look is a fun and bright look that I think is a perfect way to bring the Summer to a close. This type of green, the bright lime green, is one of my favorite colours so I love using it in makeup looks.

Here's the look I came up with:





I chose a light pink lip because I love how any kind of pink looks with green. I think they make each other stand out and look really flattering.
