New Years Eve/Holiday Make-up

Hello lovelies,

Here is a glamours and colourful make-up look perfect for any New Years Eve plans that you may have. Purple is one of my favourite colours and I think it looks especially pretty on the eyes whether you have green, blue or brown eyes.

Step 1:
Using a flat eyeshadow brush or your fingers press Maybelline color tattoo in too cool on the inner corner of your eye.

Step 2:
On the remaing of your lid and up to your crease use Maybelline color tattoo in painted purple.

Step 3:
Use a semi-shimmery purple eye shadow (mine is from an essence palette 03 vamp it up) and pat this on top of painted purple.

Step 4:
In your inner corner use a shimmery pink on top of too cool. I used the lighter pink from my Stila written in the stars palette.

Step 5:
Very lightly use a darker purple to deepen your crease. I used busted from my Urban Decay Naked2 palette. Be sure to blend, so the colour doesn't look too dark or harsh.

Step 6:
Using the two pink colours side by side in my stila palette I softened up my crease by blending them into and above my crease over busted. This creates an easy and soft transition of colour.

Step 7:
Line your upper lash line and wing it out at the end for a more dramatic look.

Step 8:
Line your bottom lash line with either a pencil or a shadow.
Using a flat brush I lined my lowet lash line with busted from my Naked2 palette.

Step 9:
Apply your favourite lengthing mascara to your top and bottom lashes.

Step 10:
Highlight under your brown bone (once your brows are completed). I used bootycall from Naked2

Step 11:
Put on your favourite light pink lipstick and gloss.
I used Mac lipstick in snob and Mac lip glass in wee coquette.

For the face I contoured my cheeks bones, applied a soft pink blush and a shimmery pink highlight above my cheekbones, along the bridge of my nose and on my cupids bow for the perfect pout.

You are all finished!!!!
Thanks everyone for reading and I hope you like this look. Let me know if you wear this on New Years or if you do something similar.

Also what is everyone us doing tomorrow night to ring in the New Year?!?!?

Stila Holiday Series - Makeup look #1

Hello lovelies,

Sorry this post took a few days longer to get up than I had anticipated, but none the less as promised here is look #1 from my Stila Holiday series that I will be doing!!!

This is the makeup look that I had for the Stila and Adrell launch party from last week. The first part of the tutorial is going to be the makeup that I had prior to the artists doing my makeup at the event and then I will explain how they enhanced and holiday-fied up my look. (I'm not going to go through my foundation and concealer because I have explained it in previous posts)

For contour I used hard candy's baked bronzer in tropics, because I didn't want anything too dark or harsh and this bronzer also has a light golden shimmer to it, perfect for any holiday look. And as for blush I used my maybelline blush trio in purley plum, using a blend of all three colours.

Eyes:
Step1: Prime your eyelids, I am currently using the Hard Candy Sheer envy primer for my face and eyes (which I will soon be doing a review on, because I love it!!!)
Step2: pat foxy(ud nkd2) all over lid as a base
Step3: apply a golden champagne colour all over lid - I used a colour from my maybelline trio (I can't remember the name)
Step4: brush mac rare find mineralized shadow into crease and blend
Step5: pat verve(ud nkd2) into inner corner and also on the inner part of your lower lash line
Step6: lightly pat ydk(ud nkd2) in the middle of the lid and blend on both sides
Step7: use rare find again on the centre to outside of the lower lash line, meeting with verve.
Step8: let's line our upper lash line - mac dark diversion fluid line; create a very slight wing, not too dramatic. Also use this liner on the outer to centre lower lash line
Step9: highlight brow bone using bootycall(ud nkd2)
Step10: line water line with a white shimmery eyeliner
Step11: apply your favourite mascara for a dramatic full lash
Lips:
Step1: use your favourtie chapstick - Ever since I was a kid I have always loved my lip smackers, dr. pepper is my favourite.
Step2: apply a plum purple lip liner as a base all over lips and smudge - or in my case a plum kohl eyeliner, because I did not have a purple lip liner with me. - Rimmel 040 Purple Passion kohl eyeliner
Step3: Lipstick time - use a bright fuscia colour to tone down the purple, so it is not too dark - Rimmel moisture renew 340 lily extase

And that is my look, now to glam it up just the way the stila makeup artist did, here is what you need to do....

Eyes:
Step1: Using the stila Snow Angel Colour Palette - to enhance the eyelid lightly pat on jingle no.24
Step2: to add some definition to the crease use fairy no.30
Step3: to blend and highlight use kitten no.23
Step4: apply your favourite dramatic ardell lashes

Cheeks: Blend together matte plum no.11 and matte berry no.6 blushes, for a light plum cheek
Lips: apply black cherry no.27 lip glaze


We have now completed our look. yay!!!!
