Look of the Day - Rose

Happy Love Day in advance everyone, even those of you who don't celebrate it, am not really a believer of the day as you should express your love to your loved ones daily :) But who can resist the cute novelty valentines day things =D So I did this valentines inspired make up look and it consists of my favourite colour palette, pinks and reds!! 
After I put my foundation on I then concealed under my eyes and also used my concealer on my forehead and chin to highlight it and then powdered my face. I then primed my eyes with my Urban Decay eye shadow primer. 
For my eyes I used this gorgeous sleek palette (good girl palette) which I have had for agesss that my sister gave me but I've not had a chance to use it yet as its not colours I would use on a daily basis but how perfect is this for love day! I am loving all the colours in it! So I started by using the colour candy floss (third one from left;top) all over my eye lid and then used the darker pink (second one from right;top) on the crease on my eye lid. To highlight my brow bone I used the shimmery glitter eye shadow (first one from left;top) which added some sparkle to the eyes. I then lined my tightline with my FX black eye pencil and used my BodyShop eye liner to line my top lash line winging it out at the end, with the eye liner I also lined half my waterline connecting it to my top liner. I used the liquid liner instead of a pencil as I find this stays on longer. Then using my Falsies Maybelline mascara I coated my top lashes. 
For my cheeks I used this pretty coral pink blusher from BodyShop (shade 03) which has a gorgeous shimmer to it. Finishing off with my lips, I used my MUA lipstick in shade 08 which is such a pretty red shade with glitter in which I absolutely love and have been wearing a lot lately. This look is a bit barbie like which I love and think is perfect for a valentines day/evening look. Enjoy!


Have a loveeely Valentines Day :)
Much love

Look of the Day - Berrylicious

Hellooo, it's been so sunny recently but still super cold. This is a colour I have been a tad bit obsessed with over autumn/winter, anything berry and burgundy toned I am loving! So this look is all about dark berry lips, a very popular trend these last two seasons.

For this look I started off with priming my eyes using my Urban Decay primer potion after my usual foundation routine. I then used this gorgeous bronze eye shadow by MUA in shade 30-Pearl all over my eye lid, which is highly pigmented for such a cheap eye shadow, 
I would definitely recommend MUA make up as I think they are really good for such a good price. Then from my H&M palette I applied the light purple shade (one at the bottom) on the crease of my eye lid above the bronze. Using a golden cream colour from this same palette I highlighted my brow bone and then lined my tight line and water line with my FX black eye pencil. I then coated my top and bottom lashes with my Falsies Volume Express mascara by Maybelline. For my cheeks I wanted to keep it simple and so I applied a golden bronzer which gave it a lovely shimmer but not too much colour, as the eyes and lips are very bold in this look, the cheeks needed to be subtle.
On my lips I first applied my BodyShop lip and cheek stain to give my lips a base then put Vaseline on. I find that this helps lip liners and lipsticks go on better. I lined my lips with this dark berry Kiko lip liner in shade 710 and also filled in my lips. Then went over it with my BodyShop lipstick in shade 62 which is a bit more of a burgundy shade, as a pose to the dark lip liner but they both compliment each other very well. As you all know I love dark lip colours! 
Happy Monday :)
Enjoy
