Hello again!

Hope your all doing well..

Todays post is a colourful one!

I have been experimenting with colour lately when it comes to makeup, trying out bright colours and stepping outside of my comfort zone! I know bright colours can be intimidating and hard to pull off but I had some inspiration behind this post..

I ordered the new Jeffree Star - Beauty Killer eyeshadow palette, however it has not yet arrived so I thought in the meantime I could do a fun eye look in preparation for this palette which has 10 beautiful, highly pigmented colours, some which are very bright (very Jeffree Star).

I cannot wait to receive my Beauty Killer palette and share some fun eye looks with you all as well as swatches.

KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED!

This is the look I came up with using one of my favourite makeup products lately..

I created this really simple eye look using The Balm - Nude'Tude palette, one of my all time favourite eyeshadow palettes.

I then added some colour to the eyes by using a red eyeliner. I used the MAC Chromaline gel eyeliner in the shade 'Basic Red', this eyeliner is amazing!!! This product is super pigmented and is a creamy, smooth formula, unlike some eyeliners which can be very clumpy and dry. These Chromaline liners can also be used as a cream eyeshadow or base colour for the eyelids.

These retail for £16.00 on the MAC website - Click HERE

I used another MAC product for my lips, I used the Miley Cyrus Viva Glam 2 lipstick which is an extremely vibrant, matte red shade with an orange tone to it. I believe this is Miley's latest lipstick with MAC Cosmetics and I am obsessed with it, EVERYTIME I wear it I get compliments.

I'm not sure if this lipstick has been discontinued as its no longer on the UK MAC website, however if you would like to give this lipstick a try I know that people are selling them on Depop, you guys already know I'm obsessed with this app so definitely go and check it out! :-)

I think the eyeliner and lipstick really compliment each other and add a pop of colour to my very fair, colourless skin! I kept the rest of my makeup very simple with a tad bit of highlighter so that most of the attention would be drawn to the eyes and lips.

I had so much fun creating this look and using my current 'go to' products from my all time favourite brand, the incredible MAC COSMETICS.

Much  Love.

FUNKY FESTIVAL/RAVE MAKEUP & HAIR..

Hello everyone!

Today's post is inspired by the festival season which is now approaching us..

I have never been to a festival before simply because I just haven't got round to going to one, however I was truly inspired by all the YouTube 'Coachella' makeup looks that beauty guru's were re-creating and that got me keen to try and create a makeup look myself, that could be worn to a festival and really make you stand out!

As so many people are getting excited over the festivals that are lined up this year, I wanted to give you girls (and guys even) some inspiration in the makeup & hair department..

When I think of festivals, I think of everyone getting together to celebrate music, having a laugh and letting your hair down, leaving all the stress of reality at the field gates! Therefore I created a fun makeup look which can be easily created by anyone whether your a pro or a learner..

My sister also did my hair for me (she's very talented) using a curling wand to create big curls to add volume to my hair.

So what are you waiting for, scroll down to see my finished look..

I went for a bronzed look as I wanted to really stand out and have that 'natural glow' look to my face.

I used a pale concealer for my under eyes and centre of my forehead to create highlighted areas and add some brightness to my face, as I am normally very pale and have 0 colour! The concealer I highly recommend for pale skin is the Collection - lasting perfection concealer in the shade Fair, its inexpensive and works just as good as any high end concealer, great for if your on a budget!

I am so pleased with how my eye makeup turned out!

I watched endless videos on YouTube for how to create a funky neon eye look and when it came to me doing it, I just went for it and made it all up as I went along, and it wasn't bad for my first attempt!

I don't normally wear bright colours like the ones I used in this look, but after seeing how successful this eye look turned out, I may have to experiment with colour a bit more!

I used so many products for the eyes, I cant even remember half of them, however one product I will point out which I have been raving about lately is my MAC Cosmetics Chromaline eyeliner in the shade 'Basic Red', this eyeliner glides on like a dream and you only need the tiniest amount of product on your brush, a little really does go a long way! And as for pigmentation, of course its highly pigmented, its MAC after all - nothing but the best!

For my lips I used one of my all time favourite MAC lipsticks, which is the recently new Miley Cyrus Viva Glam II, this colour is sooooooo bright, its a red lipstick with a slight hint of orange so when your in different lighting the colour looks different shades of red!

So that was my festival inspired makeup and hair look..

I hope you enjoyed reading..

Let me know in the comments below if your going to any festivals this year & send me your makeup looks!

Have a brilliant week and I will catch up with you all soon!
