Quick and Easy Makeup

Hey,

Today I thought I'd do a quick and easy makeup look that you can do pretty quickly in the mornings - whether you're rushing around for school/college or work this makeup look can be done pretty quickly whilst also still looking really nice!

For this look I used:
Anastasia Dipbrow in Dark Brown
Illamasqua Brow Cake in Gaze
Maybelline Brow Drama brow gel
Makeup Revolution Ultra Cover & Correct concealer palette in light
MAC Wedge eyeshadow
MUA Highlight in Iridescent Gold (I used this on the face and eyes)
Anastasia Contour Kit
Rimmel liquid Liner
Soap & Glory Thick and Fast mascara
Illamasqua Shard and MAC Velvet Teddy mixed

Rose Gold Eye Makeup Look

Hey!

Today's post is on this rose gold eye makeup that I've been wearing loads recently because I love it so much, the colours are super pretty and flattering!

For the eyes/brows I used;

Anastasia Dipbrow in Dark Brown,
Illamasqua Brow cake in Gaze
Maybelline Brow Drama brow gel 

Makeup Revolution Ultra Cover & Conceal palette in light
Makeup Geek Bitten, Peach Smoothie and Grandstand Eyeshadows
Makeup Revolution Awesome Metals in Rose Gold
Soap & Glory Thick and Fast Mascara
Rimmel liquid liner

For the face/lips I used;

Rimmel True Match + L'OReal Infallible foundations

Anastasia Contour Kit in light-medium

Rimmel Blush

MAC MSF in Soft & Gentle

Illamasqua lip pencil + Shard and Resist lipsticks mixed

NYX Dewy Setting Spray

For the eyes I started off with a base of concealer to cancel out veins and redness on my eyelids, also to carve out my brows so I could clean up any mistakes I'd made. Next I powdered it using the banana shade from the Anastasia contour kit just to set it down and make sure it would stay all day. I started off with a little bit of Bitten by Makeup Geek in the crease, barely dipping my brush for product so that the pigmentation wasn't too strong as I wanted this to be quite soft and blended. I blended out any edges I did end up having very softly with Peach Smoothie by Makeup Geek. I then put a very (and this is important) very thin layer of Makeup Revolution's Awesome Metals cream shadow in Rose Gold and then layered Makeup Geek's Grandstand shadow over top of the cream base. The reason for it having to be a thin layer is that this product tends to crease quite a bit if you apply it quite thickly and obviously, we don't want that! Haha. Next I just added a winged liner, added Bitten very softly to the lower lashes and then added mascara and I was done! :)

So, there's the look! I hope you enjoyed and I'll have a new post up soon :)

Thanks for reading!

Winged Out Eyeshadow Look.

Hey lovelies!

Today's little makeup post is on a winged out eyeshadow look. I never tend to go with this unless I'm wearing liner but I actually really liked the way this turned out when I done it so I thought I'd do a little post on it!

I just packed on the Mesmerised eyeshadow by Makeup Geek all over the lid with a little bit of Makeup Revolution Awesome Metals in Rose Gold in the inner corner. I cleaned up the edges with a baby wipe and blended out any harsh lines but other than that, I was done with this look because I really loved how it turned out!

I used the Soap and Glory Thick & Fast Mascara, Anastasia Dipbrow in Dark Brown, Illamasqua Brow Cake in Gaze for the brows and mascara. For the face I used Rimmel True Match foundation in Ivory, Anastasia powder Contour Kit in Light-Medium, MAC MSF in Soft & Gentle and MAC's Velvet Teddy very lightly dabbed on the lips.

Golden Bronze Halo Eye.

Hey lovelies,

Today's post is a little Golden Bronze Halo eye! I was inspired, in all honesty, by the weather to do this halo eye, haha! You'd think in July it'd be somewhat nice weather... but no, no it's not. It's rainy and gloomy and sometimes cold! That's what I get for living in Scotland I suppose! Anyway, I figured that I could put a little bit of glittery sun on my eye :)

Sunset Summer Eyes

Hey lovelies! 

Today's post is on this cute summery look that I did, the eyes kind of remind me of a red sky sunset! :)

Bold Summer Makeup

Hey lovelies!

Not that we get much of a Summer in the UK, especially Scotland, but I thought I'd just do a little post on a bold summertime makeup look to go with the soft one.

My New Obsession.

Hey lovelies! 

Recently my new obsession has been experimenting with lip art and different looks I can achieve through using different products on my lips. Here's what I've done so far.

I used Makeup Geek Typhoon and Blacklight over a base.

This one was done using the Maybelline 24hr Colour Tattoo in Eternal Gold and Illamasqua Furore pigment.

This one is Scorpio by Jeffree Star as the base with Androgyny, two blue eyeshadow pencils, a Rimmel red gloss and Illamasqua gloss as the dots.

Here I used the Maybelline cream shadow in Eternal Gold again with Honeysuckle by Glittertubes on the bottom lip and Pound by Glittertubes also on the top lip.

This one is simple but I just liked my lipstick application so thought I'd include it, haha! It's Androgyny liquid lipstick by Jeffree Star.

This one is the two blue eyeshadow pencils again and MAC 3D glitter in Silver.

Colourful Liner | MOTD.

Hey lovelies!

I hope you've had a nice weekend, today's post is on this cute colourful liner!

I did a light wash of Wedge by MAC in the crease and Shimma Shimma by Makeup Geek over the lid and in the inner corner. For the liner I used Androgyny by Jeffree Star! It's a liquid lipstick thats safe to use on the eyes too! I love a multi-purpose product, don't you?

I obviously paired it with Androgyny on the lips! ;)

I just thought this was a cute little post to do for today. Colourful liner is really pretty and different if you want to do something out of the norm!

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed.

Dita Von Teese Inspired Makeup Look.

Hey lovelies!

I was inspired to do this post because I honestly just love Dita Von Teese and she's just so beautiful. She makes me want to buy loads of corsets and waist train and be just the perfect pin up beautiful lady that she is, haha! Anyways, I seen this photo in particular:

(Sorry for the NSFW photo)

And felt like I had to do a look inspired by it! Obviously it's not going to be exact but that's just life and I added highlight where she didn't and I kept to bronzer rather than adding blush, purely because of personal preference.

Anyway here is the look I came up with:

I obviously had to add the trademark Dita beauty mark and red lip :)

I used:

Anastasia Dipbrow in Dark brown to outline my brows and fill them in slightly, then Illamasqua's Browcake in Gaze to fill them in more because Dita's brows are incredibly beautiful and thick and dark, I then used a very pale shadow all over my lid once I'd primed it to highlight the brow bone and set my primer - I used MAC's Orb for that. Then I highlighted the brow bone more with a little bit of Shroom by MAC. I then went in with Makeup Geek's Shimma Shimma in the inner corner and MAC's Wedge in the crease, I made sure to thoroughly blend it out so there was no harsh lines and Makeup Geek's Peach Smoothie mixed with Orb again just above the crease to make sure it was blended nicely. I then lined my upper lashline with Illamasqua's gel liner in Infinity. I used Rimmel's Wake Me Up foundation in Ivory and Collection's Lasting Perfection concealer to get rid of some imperfections. Then going on to the lips (cause I just couldn't wait tbh) with Jeffree Star's Redrum liquid lipstick. I then went in with Anastasia's Contour Kit to bronze up my complexion and finally MAC's Soft & Gentle MSF to highlight my cheekbones!

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed! :)

I quite liked doing a celeb inspired look so maybe look out for more of these in the future!

It's my 'Signature Look' for the I Am Freedom Makeup Awards, the sister company of Makeup Revolution. This is just the first round and it may get me no where but I just wanted to try it anyway and jump into something new.

For anyone else that's interested here is a link to the website so you can see the entry requirements and how to enter/what to do for yourself!

For anyone that doesn't know me my signature look is generally a really dark smokey eye with highlighted skin and a nude lip. So something similar to this:

The Power Of Makeup.

Hey lovelies!

If you haven't heard of this sort of 'trend' I guess you could call it then you must have been under a rock! I first came across it by Nikkie Tutorials who did a video and bloody loved the concept behind it (I actually think it was her that came up with the whole thing as well, but don't quote me on that) and I thought I'd do my own post on it. If you haven't seen Nikkie's The Power of Makeup video I'll link it here. Another one that's definitely worth checking out is Patrick Starrr's which I'll link here. Watch them, honestly, they are worth a watch!

Okay, so for anyone who doesn't know - I have sparse brows, they don't grow even if I leave them to do so for years, I have red and blotchy skin, it's incredibly dry, my lips are uneven and my skin is also recovering from acne, my eyes are small without makeup on them and my skin in general ain't great. Are these insecurities of mine? Somewhat. Are they the reason I wear makeup? No! 

Makeup is fun for me and I absolutely love it, I'd rather wear makeup and express my creativity than not. It's just something that's a part of me, I don't wear it to impress anyone and I certainly don't use it to 'lie' about what I really look like under it all, haha. I am SO fed up with all this "this is why you take a girl swimming on the first date" shit, just because you, men, are insecure about yourself. Obviously we don't look like what we do with makeup on but who the fuck cares?! 

I thought I'd also add in a couple of pics of the completed makeup.

Thank you for reading! 

Remember to just be yourself and express yourself however the fuck you want to! Don't let anyone dull your sparkle,
