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

         Inglot Eyeshadow D.S 467 (Nude with a sparkle)

         Sleek Makeup Del Mar Palette - Feel Euphoric (Light Pink)

         Femme Fatale Cosmetics Eyeshadow in Moonrest (Light Shimmer,inner corner)

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 467 (Nude Skin Tone)

          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)

          Inglot AMC Pigment 81 (Copper Liner)

          Covergirl Clump Crusher Mascara

          Ardell Fairies Lashes

Lips: Catrice Cosmetics Ultimate Colour Lipstick in 020 Maroon

         Catrice Cosmetics Infinite Shine Lip Gloss in 050 Sugar Crush

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.

         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).

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:

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

Eyes: Inglot Eyeshadow Matte 358 (Brows)

         Essence Lash and Brow Gel 

         Too Faced Shadow Insurance

         Inglot Eyeshadow Matte 354 (Matte Skin Tone)

         Inglot Eyeshadow Matte 373 (Matte White)

         Inglot Eyeshadow Matte 341 (Matte Peachy Pink Nude)

         Urban Decay Naked 3 - Nooner (Matte Mauvey Taupe)

         Urban Decay Naked 3 - Strange (Matte Pale Creamy Pink)

         Femme Fatale Cosmetics Eyeshadow in Moonrest

         Inglot AMC Gel Liner in 86

Disney Princess Series: Rapunzel

Hey everyone!
Today I have another Disney princess look and I think this is my 7th Princess look now so I'm just over half way through which is awesome! It feel like this is flying in and I am loving this series.
The look I have today is inspired by Rapunzel in the Tangled movie. Tangled is one of my favorite Disney movies and I don't think it get the recognition it deserves. It's a beautiful movie with the different colours in the film and the story and it's also very funny especially the horse Maximus who is my fave.

Anyway the makeup look I did was using the colours that you see on Rapunzel herself with the purple and pink dress that she wears and her bright golden hair that is the focal point of the movie. I wanted to incorporate one of the most iconic scenes in the movie which is the floating lanterns so I did that using some pink and gold rhinestones.

Here's the look:

I went for a light pink natural-ish lip to keep the focus on the eyes. I didn't want to do a nude lip because I wanted the lips to still have some colour.

Here's a list of the products I used:

Face: Fuschia Makeup Moisture Foundation in 1. Nude

         Collection Cosmetics Lasting Perfection Concealer in Fair

         Kryolan Translucent Powder

         Rimmel Stay Blushed! Liquid Cheek Tint in 001 Pop of Pink

         Inglot EyeShadow D.S 493 (Light lilac, blended into the crease)

         Inglot EyeShadow Matte 375 (Dark matte purple, outer 'V' and into the crease) 

         Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Eye Pencil in Goldmine (Lower lash line)

Setting Sun

Hey everyone!
Today's look is quite a Summery look and is very much inspired by a Summer sunset. In Summer the colours in the sunsets are so vibrant and intense that I just had to do a look inspired by it. I wanted the colours to be super bright and punchy.
 I put the yellow on the center of the lid to act like the sun and surrounded it with the orange and blended them into each other to look like the sunset. There is sometimes hints of purple in the sky during the Summer and there is a very pale blue during a sunset.

Here's the look:

I wanted the skin to not look too heavy so I really buffed in my foundation. You can still see most of my freckles and it still looks like my skin so it keeps the focus on the eyes.

I also went for a very natural lip. Like a my lips but better nude and a touch  of clear gloss. Again this keeps the focus on the eyes.

Here is a list of the products I used:

Face: Fuschia Makeup Moisture Foundation in 1. Nude

         Collection Cosmetics Lasting Perfection Concealer in Fair

         Kryolan Translucent Powder

         Sleek Makeup Blush by 3 in Pink Lemonade - Macaroon
