COLOURING BOOK

This blog post shows how I use colours in my make up, creating a colourful smokey eye and bright lips. YEAH!!

I have already done my foundation base (which I clearly look very happy about), to see what products I've used you can check out my foundation post :-) Firstly, I fill in my brows a little using MAC's Omega, it works perfectly for blonde's as it is cool toned.      

 These are the three colours I will be using to create my 3 colour eye look. L-R MAC Pigment in 'Pastorale' (which is discontinued but I'm sure you can purchase a similar goldy-green elsewhere), 'Pistol' from the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette and MAC Cranberry.

I used Pastorale in the inner corner and over the first half of the eye, using the brighter colour in the inner half will make you look more awake [yey]






Next I took Pistol from the Naked 2 Palette and applied that over the centre of the lid and blended it into the first colour.



I then applied Cranberry to the outer corner and slightly through the socket line, ensuring that all colours were blended together and no harsh lines were visible.






To define the top lashes, I used a fine liner brush to apply Mabelline's Gel Eyeliner in 02 Brown

Next, I used Eyeko Skinny Brush Mascara in Black to coat my top lashes, I highly recommend this mascara as it lasts allllllllllllllllllllll day and is easy to apply :-)

 I used a bit of Pistol from earlier underneath my eye to add a little bit more smokiness to the look and also makes the lower lashes look fuller.(I also added mascara to the bottom lashes)

I used a cream blush for this look as I thought a powder blush may be a bit too full on with the rest of the look, for this I used Bourjois Cream Blush in 02.

You could leave the make up look as it is with nude lips, but I decided to make it even brighter by adding this bright pink lipstick from Diego Dalla Palma in the shade 56.

Fin! I hope you liked this look, you don't have to use bright colours for this, you can always use natural colours but follow the same rule of lighter colour in the inner corner, into the mid-tone and ending with the darkest colour on the outer corner. Thank you for reading, seeya!

YO

After retrieving my camera from home yesterday I thought I would do a quick outfit post. Excuse the candid photo and undesirable paint work. (the attempts to edit out the state of my room was about as much effort as went into tidying my room...little)

I recently bought this red A-line skirt from ASOS because I thought the A-line shape was super cool and different to wearing skater skirts (which I inadvertently flash everyone in). I just teamed it with a black long-sleeve top, black tights and black wedges, topped off with a green felt fedora. The weather is over cast and rainy in London today, hence the lack of summer wardrobe :-( Hopefully some more prepared outfit posts will be coming soon :-)))) BYE!

Black Wedges - ASOS
Black Opaque Tights - M&S
Red A-Line Skirt - ASOS
Black Top - H&M
Green Fedora - TOPSHOP
Silver Rings - DEBENHAMS (all 3 purchased individually in the sale)
Belt Ring - VIVIENNE WESTWOOD

M.I.A

I wanted to apologize for the lack of blogging since my last post to any of you who are keen to view the next chapter in my blogging adventures (probably not many). I am currently back in London studying and sitting my final exams for my university first year, and naturally, I accidentally leave my camera back at home. So while being unable to post any new pictures, I have been stocking up all the new fashion finds and beauty purchases that I have come across upon returning to London and will be able to post everything in 2 weeks once all my exams are over and I have a camera again. YEA!
