Wicked Witch Makeup Tutorial

Hey guys, recently on my YouTube channel I did a witch makeup tutorial for Halloween that I though I should show you. I love Halloween and I think this is a pretty easy makeup look to do for a last minute look because you don't need any special makeup; you might already have everything you need in your makeup collection.

I really enjoyed creating this look and I just love the green contour, although it didn't show up that well in the video and pictures. If you would like to see how I achieved this look then watch my step by step tutorial below.

If you can't watch the video on the embedded player then click here to watch it on YouTube. I hope you all enjoy it. Also, let me know what you plan to be for Halloween in the comment section below.

Autumn Makeup Look with a Dark Lip

Hey guys, this week's video on my YouTube channel is one of my favourite looks that I've been wearing this Autumn/ Fall. One of my favourite aspects of this look that I love is the lip colour which is MAC's Rebel lipstick (which I reviewed here). 

I paired the lipstick with quite neutral eye makeup because I really wanted the lips to be the main focus of this look. If you would like to see how I achieved this makeup look then make sure to watch the video below (or here on YouTube if the embedded player isn't working). 

I hope you enjoy it! If you do, please make sure to give it a thumb up as it helps the video to be found a bit easier in the search rankings of YouTube. Also, let me know in the comments below what is you favourite colour for a bright or bold lipstick? Talk to you soon.

Catching Fire Inspired Look

Hey guys, so today, I wanted to show you all another makeup look done using the Naked 3 Palette. When I first got the palette, the two colours that stood out the most for me, and the colours that I most wanted to try were Buzz and Trick. Buzz is a gorgeous shimmery pink colour that I have already used in my Pretty in Pink makeup look, and Trick which is a metallic orangey sort of colour. So I decided that I definitely wanted to use Trick today's look. I originally wanted to put a light shimmery brown colour in the crease and outer corner, but I was too inspired by the makeup looks that Katniss wears in The Hunger Games Catching Fire film that I watched last night. I then decided to try to recreate the shape of the makeup that she wears, which is really pointed upwards and outwards, and to really darken it up in the corners. So that is what lead me to create this makeup look. I'll now tell you what products I used and what I did.

Products Used:

Face:

Foundation: Bourjois Radiance Reveal Healthy Mix Foundation

Concealer: Soap and Glory Trick or Treatment

Bourjois Délice de Soleil Bronzing Powder

Eyes:

Colours from the Naked 3 Palette:

Nooner- to fill in eyebrows

Strange- to highlight brow bone

Trick- applied all over the lid and under the eye (the inner half)

Factory- brought through the crease, blended out and under the eye (the outer half)

Blackheart- in the real outer corner and brought up and out to a point.

Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliner (Black Ink)

17 Eyeliner Pencil (Black)

Maybelline The Falsies Mascara

Lips:

Mac's Shy Girl Lipstick

Silver and Black Smokey Eye Makeup Look

Hey guys, so today, I thought that I would do a different sort of makeup look for you all because I always automatically seem to go for the browns, golds and really neutrally colours so thought that I should try something different. I decided to do a silver and black smokey eye using the Naked 2 palette. 

Here is the look:

How to achieve this makeup look:

Eyes:

From the Naked 2 Palette:

Verve across the lid

Busted through the crease (well blended out using a fluffy brush)

Blackout in the outer corner (also well blended out)

Foxy to highlight under the eyebrows

Maybelline Expression kajal gentle precision eyeliner in no. 33 Black to line the waterline and tight line.

Essesnce eyeliner pen (extra longlasting) to line around the eyes and to wing it out.

Maybelline The Falsies Mascara.

Face:

Foundation used: Bourjois radiance reveal healthy mix foundation

Eye shadow colour to fill in eyebrows: Tease (from Naked 2 Palette)

Cheeks: Soap and Glory's Glow all out 

Lips:

No 7 Stay Perfect Lipstick in the colour Classic Rose

I hope you liked this makeup look. If you did, make sure to give it a like on Bloglovin or a +1 on Google Plus. Let me know down in the comments below if you would like to request a makeup look.

Bright Lip FOTD

Hey guys, so the other day I did a Shop My Stash blog post and in it I mentioned a lipstick by No.7 called Gay Geranium that I was a bit worried about wearing because it might be a bit too bright and make me look slightly like a clown. I decided to do a FOTD to show you guys the lipstick on and to find out what you think about it.

With this lip look I decided to really neutral eyes so that the lips would be the main focus, and my makeup wouldn't to crazy or bright. The eye look I did was done using a Rimmel Eye Shadow quad in Smokey Brun. I have done a tutorial for that already on my blog so if you want to know how to do the eyes click here.

In case you were wondering, the foundation I used in this look is the Bourjois Healthy Mix Radiance Reveal foundation in the colour Light Vanilla. I have already written a review of this foundation which you can read here.

For the lips I used the No.7 lipstick Gay Geranium and a Kiko lip pencil in no.705. I think using a lip liner helped, but if you have Gay Geranium and couldn't find a lip pencil to match, you can always just apply the lipstick using a lip brush to get it more precise.

So that was my FOTD. Let me know what you thought about the lipstick in the comments below. Do you love it or think it's way to bright?

FOTD Using Her Name Was Glowla Benefit Set + Review

Hey guys, today I just wanted to show you a gorgeous natural everyday makeup look that I've been wearing a lot recently. This look was created with Benefit's Her Name Was Glowla and a couple of other products. The main thing I like about this look is the eye makeup; the eye shadows in the set are shimmery and absolutely gorgeous. I like that the are not too shimmery like some other eye shadows so they still look fairly natural but are also really pretty at the same time. In the how to part of this post I will put all the makeup from the Benefit set that was used in blue writing so you can easily see what you need extra. I used everything from the set except for the Moon Beam highlight because I used High Beam instead but I tend to use whichever one I feel like at the time. Also, I kept this look really natural but you could make it darker by applying more of the brown eye shadow and not blending in out as much as me. So here is what I did to achieve this look:

Face

Benefit's The Porefessional (to prime face)

Rimmel's Wake Me Up foundation (in True Ivory)

Rimmel's Wake Me Up concealer (in Soft Beige)

Kiko Soft Light Powder (02) (to set foundation)

Bourjois' Délice de Soleil Bronzing Powder (14 Olive/Tanned Skin)(to bronze face)

Benefit High Beam (to highlight just above the cheekbones)

Benefit Coralista (on apples of the cheeks)

Eyes

Urban Decay's Primer Potion (Original) (to prime eyes)

Eye Shadow from Benefit Set:

Basically, go from the lightest to the darkest from the inside of your eyelid to your outer corner but keep reading if you want to be more specific.

Passion Pearl (whitish colour) (under the brow bone and in the inner corner as a highlight)

Peachy Sheen (light peachy/satin colour) (all over the lid)

Terracotta Satin (darker peachy colour) (use from the middle of the eyelid until the outer corner)

Steamy Copper (lightish brown colour) (on the outer half of the eyelid)

Deep Bronze (dark brown colour) (in the outer corner)

Blend out eye shadow with a fluffy blending brush 

17 Eyeliner Black (to line the waterline + tightline)

Essence Gel Liner (01 Midnight in Paris) (to line the upper lashline; winging it out slightly)

Curl Eyelashes 

Benefit's Bad Gal Lash Mascara (applied to lashes in a zigzag motion to avoid any clumps)

Lips

Mac Shy Girl Lipstick (but you can use any natural pink or peachy colour)

Benefit Life On The A List Lip Gloss

I really love this Benefit set and all of the products in it. It retails at around €30 which is fairly good consider how many high quality products you get in it. If you want the get this set, you can buy it here on ebay.

I hope you liked this post. Please let me know if you like these type of posts or I you think that I should do them a different way or not by leaving a comment below. I would appreciate the feedback :)

Celeb Inspired Look #2 Ellie Goulding (Burn Music Video) - Requested

Hey Guys! Today's post was requested by Hellen who sent me a really lovely email. She wanted me to do a tutorial for Ellie Goulding in her music video Burn so here it is. It is a pretty simple, natural look that was easy to create and doesn't use that many products.

Products used to achieve this look:

Face

Benefit's The Porefessional (to prime face)
Rimmel's Wake Me Up foundation (in True Ivory)
Rimmel's Wake Me Up concealer (in Soft Beige)
Bourjois' Délice de Soleil Bronzing Powder (14 Olive/Tanned Skin)(to bronze neck and blend makeup into it)
Rimmel's Stay Matte Powder (in Translucent) (all over face to set foundation)
It didn't look like Ellie was wearing any blush in the video so I didn't use any.

Eyes

Urban Decay's Primer Potion (Original) (to prime eyes)
Mac's All That Glitters (used all over the lid and then I concentrated it in the crease to build up colour and define my eyes more. I also took it under the eye just under my lash line.)
I used no eyeliner though I think Ellie had a thin line of black eyeliner on her top lash line just over her fake lashes to make them look more natural on her eyes by covering over the strip.
Curl Eyelashes 
Benefit's They're Real mascara (applied to lashes in a zigzag motion to avoid any clumps)
I think Ellie was wearing fake lashes in the video so you could add them if you wanted.

Lips

Soap and Glory lipstick (in The Missing Pink)


Hope you liked this post, especially you Hellen :) If anybody wants to request another celeb inspired look please leave a comment below and I will try to do a post of it :) Click here to watch the music video for Burn or click here to see my other celeb inspired makeup tutorial of Selena Gomez.






*I wasn't able to get a good picture of the makeup with me looking straight at the camera because I have quite hooded eyelids and you couldn't see any of the eye makeup so I had to be looking down in the picture.
