Worn Metal

Hey guys,

it has been a few months since I last did a blog post and I have done a few looks in the meantime so I will have some posts coming your way. This look that I have today is a deeper, more smokey look for the Summer and is a great one for a night out or special occasion.

With this look I loved the contrast between the cool grays and the warmer gold, I think they are very striking together. To me it sort of looks a little like rusted steel hence the 'Worn Metal' name. I went for a more intense liner for this as well with the point on the inner corner to add even more drama to the look.

Here's my look:

On the lips I decided again a true lip lip because I thought it would drain me a little so instead I went with a soft baby pink to add a little bit of colour without over powering the overall look.

Plum and Gold Halo

Hey Everyone!

The look I have today is something that I was messing around with. I've been liking playing with this eyeshadow shape recently, it makes the eye look quite round and large so it would be nice to try if you have slightly smaller eyes.

Plum and gold is one of my favorite colour combinations anyway so I thought it would be perfect for this look. I love how it's a warm plum and the strong gold on the center of the lid really makes this perfect for the Summer.

Here's the look:

For the lips I wanted to keep with the warm theme so I went for a nude lip pencil that has a slight peachy base to it and then a true nude lipstick and gloss.

Face: MAC Face and Body Foundation - N1

Spring Time Pop

So I have been a little bit M.I.A on my blog and my Facebook page, (ok a lot M.I.A, like 6 months now at this stage) which is really bad so I apologize for that. I had been working a lot so I didn't have time to do much else.

Anywhoo I am back which some looks in mind and I'm kicking them off with this Spring inspired look. This is a nice a simple enough look and has a little of everything I like in a Springtime look, a nice sorta wearable look that has pops of colour.

Here's the look:

As you can see it a little bit colourful but still sort of wearable and paired with a nude lip can be toned down even more. I applied a super soft pink to the lips to tie in with the little bit of pink on the inner corner.

Here is what I used for this look:

Face: MAC Strobe Cream

         Maybelline Fit Me Foundation in 115

         MAC Prolongwear Concealer on NW15

         MAC Studio Fix Powder in NW15

         Sleek Makeup Blush by 3 in Californ.I.A in Newport Peach

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

          Inglot Eyeshadow Matte 373 (Matte White)

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

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.

         Collection Cosmetics Lasting Perfection Concealer in Fair

         Kryolan Translucent Powder

         Sleek Makeup Blush By 3 in Pink Lemonade - Macaroon

Wearable Colourful

Hey everyone! If you haven't guessed already I love my bright, bold and intense looks but I also like to do wearable looks and try to make them interesting and eye catching. Which is what I did for today.
This look is basically a pinup inspired look with a twist. The green/teal liner instead of black really adds a pop of colour to the look. It gives definition like a black winged liner from a distance but at a closer look it's a pretty green which really catches the eye.
Instead of a red lip I did a fuchsia lip because it's really fun and bright and the pink makes the green liner stand out beautifully.

Here's the look:

The eyeshadow itself is super simple and quick it's just a skin tone shade on the lid some soft mauvey taupes in the crease to add a shadow and a shimmery white on the inner corner. Very quick and easy to do :)

Here's a list of the products I used:

Face: Maybelline Fit Me Foundation in 115

         Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in 15

         Makeup Forever HD Translucent Powder

         Sleek Makeup Blush By 3 in Pink Lemonade - Macaroon

         Benefit Dallas Bronzer

         Essence Lash and Brow Gel 

         Too Faced Shadow Insurance

         Inglot Eyeshadow Matte 354 (Matte Skin Tone)

         Inglot Eyeshadow Matte 341 (Matte Peachy Pink Nude)

         Urban Decay Naked 3 - Nooner (Matte Mauvey Taupe)
