Animalistic Eyes.

Hi Lovely People!

This is a very short, random post today.

I was browsing my subscriptions box on you tube yesterday when I saw a look from Jordan Liberty. He is an amazing make up artist who makes short make up videos on your tube, and this one caught my eye. I thought it was lovely and just so eye catching.

Anyway, today I was in my make up room just playing with makeup (one of my fav things to do), and I thought I would give it a go. I changed it a bit to my sort of style, and I only did it on the one eye, but I liked the result, considering it was just a quick 'try it out' kind of thing. I think I am going to do the look on both eys for a video/fotd soon. I really like the effect it gives.

So, without further ado, here are my pictures.

 

Annnnd, that is all!

I love getting inspired :)

Adele UK Vogue Inspired Make Up Look.

I love Adele, her talent is awesome, she can sing, write great music, and perform with soul. Her album is one of my most played, and I don't seem to be getting bored of it!

She is also gorgeous, and I love her style, and how her make up always looks perfect! Oh! and get this, I have actually been told a few times recently that I remind people of her, which is a very flattering compliment, though I can't see it myself.

Recently when I saw the cover for the current Issue of UK Vogue and her make up in the shoot, I saved the image to my inspiration folder straight away. And at the weekend I decided to give it a go.

It's a fairly simple look with neutral colours and a defined crease. I think I did it a little too light though. I needed more volume on the lashes, and a black liner in the waterline. D'oh!

Anyway, here is my look ..

 

To do this make up, I used the following products:

• Revlon Colorstay Foundation
• Rimmel Stay Matte Powder
• Primark Peach Blush
• HD Brow 'Foxy' Quad
• Urban Decay Sin Eyeshdaow (Lid)
• Stargazer White Eyeshadow (Brow Highlight)
• L'Oreal Hip Foxy Duo (Dark Brown) (Crease)
• Boots No17 Mardi Gras Eyeshadow (Crease/To Blend/Lower Lashline)
• Urban Decay Zero Eyeshadow (Lower Lashline)
• Illamasqua Vow Medium Pencil (Waterline)
• MAC Blacktrack Fluidline
• Girls With Attitude Flirt Lashes
• Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara
• Gosh Darling Lipstick / OCC Hush Liptar

That's all for this look. Thank for reading!.. Are you an Adele fan?

Bright Green Glitzy Eyes // Bold Red Lips.

For once, an actual face of the day, on the day of wear!

This is todays look for me. I'm not going anywhere special, I just wanted to play with make up, and so I did, and I ended up with this look. I really love the contrast of the emerald eyes and the bold red lips. I love how they are both festive shades that clash in a good way! .. It's kind of halloweeny to me, in a glam way. I don't really know why.. Random!

To achieve this look I used the following products:

• Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse.
• Rimmel Stay Matte Powder.
• Dior Blush (I cannot remember the name, but I don't think you can  get it anymore, Sorry!)
• HD Eyebrow Quad Kit.
• Barry M Matte Green Eye Crayon.
• OCC Pigment - Chlorophyll.
• Urban Decay Acid Rain.
• Green Glitter.
• MAC Blacktrack Fluidline.
• Revlon Colorburst True Red.
• OCC Liptar NSFW.
• Outer Corner Lashes.
• Max factor False Lash Effect Mascara.

That's all for today's look, if you have any questions or anything else, let me know! ..

Don't forget you can follow me on Twitter, and Tumblr too!

Someone in the comments pointed out how this is very similar to the look Sophie Ellis Bextor wore in the 'Murder On The Dancefloor' video.. And it totally is, completely by mistake. I always remember liking that look when the video came out though.

- China Glaze Promo Inspired Look.

Hello Everyone!

So lately I've been getting a bit inspired by images of make up, and attempting to recreate them. It's fun to experiment and see what you can do.

I came across the promo image for the China Glaze Crackle Polishes, which you can see here. I love the bright coloured smokey eye make up, and the nails .. the lips however, hmmm.. I was in two minds about those, but in the name of fun, here you go!

Green lips. Yep.       (Long silence)       .. Needless to say, I can't pull them off like she can! I got the shade wrong too, but whatever! I would never have gone out with green lips anyway, They're not for me.

The rest of the look I love, the dramatic smokey eyes with green/turquoise are very me. I used all colours from the Urban Decay Deluxe Palette for them, mainly the green, blue and black, with a hint of purple.

And then..... I wiped off the lipstick, and took a more normal pic!

Better, right? .. I think so!

What do you think of this crazy look? .. You can see the nails I did for the look, here.

Fearne Cotton Oscars Red Carpet Look!

For those of you who watched the Oscars red carpet thing on Sky1 with Fearne Cotton, I am sure you noticed her very bright make-up, I did straight away!

So, I figured rather than doing an inspired look by one of the actresses I would do Fearnes look, cos it is so me and it rocks!

Here is a preview :





I love it! .. It is so vivid and just bright and lovely! I did the whole look using the 120 pro palette from ebay which I have had for a while now and not used! Silly really because I was SO excited to have it, and it is amazing!

What do you think?

PS : You can see a rough picture of the Original look on Fearne Here :
