Red Smokey Eye | Gryffindor Inspired | Nerdy Makeup

Hey! This is the look I wore today, been doing quite natural makeup day to day lately so felt inspired to do something a little more powerful.

First of all the easy parts, everything but the eyemakeup are the products I use everyday.

Skincare/Prep:

Moisturizer: Origins Ginzing energy boosting -This is my favourite skincare brand, ever! I am slowly working my way through the range to find the best one suited to my skin, but I am happy with everything I've tried so far! If you are wondering why I change, but I always finish it up first.

Primer: Smashbox photofinish original.

Bare Minerals night treatment Light. - If I have breakouts I always put a layer of this on first to help heal my skin and it acts as a barrier from the rest of my makeup to prevent any spots. It's great cause it adds a bit of coverage too. 

Face:

Bare Minerals Ready Foundation R250

Dior Honey Bronze

Lancome Blush trio palette (apricot peach one?)

Benefits Watts Up Highlighter (I HATE Benefit as a brand/company (not the general staff lol hi friends, basically how they treat you!) and everything it stands for but I can't deny this is their one hidden gem, product.)

Lips:

NYX Mauve Lipliner (Lost Mac Spice *cries*)

Mac Creme Cup Lipstick

Mac Lipglass Florabundance

Brows

Mua Heaven and Earth Palette - Light matte brown and dark matte brown

And Finally to the EYES!

Base: Urban decay primer potion

MUA Heaven and Earth Palette - Matte brown in the crease, gold in inner corner

THE MAIN PRODUCT OF THE LOOK - Illamasqua pure pigment in Berber

Sleek Del Mar Palette- white to highlight, orange blended into the brown in the crease as a transition colour and a little over gold in inner corner.

MUA white eyeliner blended with MUA matte brown and sleek orange on bottom lash line.

Black ELF gel liner

Dior show maximizerwhite mascara to thicken and build lashes with Lancome Hypnose Mascara on top.

And that's the look!

I am super happy with it, I went through a stage of wearing really warm eyeshadow looks everyday and I have been out of it for months until now! I have fell back in love!

Let me know if you would rock something like this? To me I feel like this is normal but I know my brain doesn't work like everyone else's! 

Bit of a long one but enjoy! xoxox p.s almost at 60,000 views ewk! 

Feeling Arty | Creative Makeup Look

Hi Everyone!

Some days I just sit down, not a clue and this happens. I am pretty happy with the final outcome, this can tend to go off in a weird way, a lot of the time a bit too directionless. But I am really enjoying playing with my airbrush machine. 

This is something similar to mine if you are wondering what airbrush is?

I created my own stencil and airbrushed on all the colours as a base. The black is grease paint, blended with shadow as is the pattern above the eye. The other eye is some glitter and gem stickers I picked up in one of those cheapy, bargain shops. Huge tip, I always pick up random stuff like this (Hoarder), with nothing in mind other than I will probably use it for something.. and wayhey!

Simple enough product list, airbrush, grease paints and applique.

I am very much always inspired by art. Always trying to create something, do what makes you happy.

Have a nice day/night xox

Products I've hit pan on | 2

If you're not familiar with the term "hitting pan" it basically just means that you've used enough

of the product to show the bottom of the pan (packaging).

It shows products that I really do love and use on a regular basis!

 

This post has caused me quite a lot of problems and I was just about to give up when my camera batteries had ran out and couldn't find anymore but then I had a thought. So here's a retake of this post improvising with my webcam. Hopefully this doesn't come out too bad, but I do think the lighting in these products is very true to life, which is the main reason I'm not giving up! Also feel like it makes the post a little more personal, so here goes..

 

 

My every day blush and bronzer combination.

Mac Crème Blush in Something Special

Dior Bronze 002 Honey Tan

 



 

My everyday powder blush option (I basically used this everyday before I bought the Mac one above, but they still great together if you want to set the crème blush for a matte finish) This is so cheap, so I think everyone needs to own this, amazing for oily skin as it is matte!

Natural Collection in Pink Cloud

 

 

Mac Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Medium. This is my handbag powder because it's so low maintenance, you can literally put this on forever and never look cakey. Amazing for quick touch ups without a mirror. This is the first thing I will be purchasing again.

 

Stila Angel light powder in shade e (refill pan) this is marketed as a foundation powder however because of the colouring it worked so well as a contour for me, literally used it everyday I had it. If anyone can recommend a matte powder this sort of warm beige colour, comment below! Looking for alternatives, because as a brand I don't feel Stila is worth the high end price.

 

Thanks for reading, coming up to 50,000 views! wow! xoxo

Im loving Lancaster (you might notice! lol I actually bought the whole 'Infinite bronze' collection oops! but these are the besties from it!) Below is the 'Beauty Escape 5-in-1 Powder Compact and it is awesome!! 2 Blushes (matt), a contour powder (matt) and 2 bronzers (matt + shimmer)! What more could you want......LOVE!

Cute Packaging??

And then more Lancaster... this is the Cool shimmer Blush in 'natural'.. which basically is a gorgeous creamy neautral toned/ bronzey blush with gold shimmer! Beaaaautiful for summer... oh and i also tried this out as an eyeshadow base! Worked wonders!

You will not believe how silky and creamy it is!

Estee Lauder Signature Satin Creme Blush

06 Pink Light

Not as creamy but isnt the colour uberrrrrr yummy?? Perfect for a healthy blush or even the doll look!

I am not realising all these products are face products! oops! Anyways.. this is another everyday gorrrrrrgeous bronzing product! It is the christian dior Bronzer, in 002 honey tan!

Messy?? Nahh, well loved! haha.. Iv been using EVERYDAY :)

What another Lancaster? Yup! This is the 'easy face bronzer brush' snappy! not.. in 002 Sunny!

This product is amazing and when I use it the need for foundation drops an awful lot, great for summer! It is basically a liquid bronzer! I apply this all over my face and then I add foundation down the middle of my face (problem area) and im good to go! I love it and I don't feel cakey or that my face is weighing down! lol

Last but not least my trusty mac 187 ( dirrrrty and out of shape in the photo =loved :)

Perfect for stippling foundation, and blending for a flawless face!

Ciao Darlings! xxxxxx
