Mixing up my Favs | Topshop Makeup


Still haven't got bored of wearing colour obviously.. Haha.

People always ask me 'oh where were you going with this look?' The funny thing is I love makeup so much, I tend to do something crazy like this everyday now. The orange is the same Topshop eyeshadow as before, the silver in the inner corner is a mac pigment (was limited edition) but try any silver, its more about playing with colour and placing them differently than usual. Lips is also Topshop, in the colour straight ace. Any one from around me check out the makeup section in the Belfast Topshop, so far it's the only one that stocks it. 

Word on the street is that Mac also make Topshop makeup.. I can definitely see that in the quality. Cheaper too which is a plus. 

Let me know what you think of this look? Thanks for reading! xoxox

Festival/Carnival Summer Makeup

I




I am obsessed with bright makeup at the moment, just sick of years wearing neutrals and being brainwashed that neutral makeup is or was more acceptable.  

To be honest if you want to wear a really bright blue lip what is stopping you? Makeup is so much more socially accepted now than it ever was. 

These two looks are using all products from my previous UMA haul. The only thing that is different is the mint green eyeshadow in the inner corner which is from an unknown boots palette found randomly in my drawer. I am home at the moment (Northern Ireland) and only have a teeny makeup bag with me and some odds that I left in my drawer, obviously deeming not worthy of taking with me. So I am a bit limited to products, not like usual 5000000000 products of choice, not really much exaggeration in that either.

I used both paint pots on my eyes, yellow all over and the orange blended in my crease and under my eye. First look has Mac's cyan lipmix on, see how much the orange and blue make my eyes stand out? Colour combinations like this really work as they are opposite in colour theory. In the second look I have Topshop's lip varnish on in the shade Fun and Games. I am absolutely obsessed with these, literally just bought another yesterday. I will probably pick up the whole line because they are the perfect liquid lipstick formula, not too wet were they bleed and one swipe to get pure colour. They don't dry either so they stay comfortable on the lips. Around £7 with student discount aswell, £9 normally I think. 

One thing about both looks, I am not a fan of how the Makeup Forever aqua brow photographs, comes off patchy and uneven. Does not look like this in real life. Anyone else found this? But I won't write it off yet after one application! 

Let me know if you like this kind of makeup?

Have a good day! xoxo

Summer MakeUp... Embrace it or Cake it?

Im not afraid to admit it, yes I am a complete makeup addict, Its my addiction, my drug... my passion! But what do we do in the summer? Wear the same amount and let it gradually sweat of our faces.   Not a good look!

To get to the point of this post is to show you all my face for the summer! Im trying to embrace my inner beauty and cut back a lot until who knows where it leads me?

But this summer, no eyeshadow, no eyeliner, no blush

Only a little bit of mascara, a little bit of foundation and some bronzer... Lipgloss is a necessity though!
No I don't have super clear skin, spots galore & red pigments.. Oh and lets not forget the breakout of freckles when I just step out into the sun! But you know what its time to embrace it!

whos joining me? Lets give it a go and let our skin breathe this summer :)



Good idea girls?
