Hey everybodeh!

Hi! I'm sorry I've been away so long, after the end of my holiday last week I've been feeling really rubbish. Blah blah excuse excuse. 

So while I was on my holiday I had lots of lazy mornings with lots of time to play with makeup, meaning I could do some slightly more interesting looks than my usual lipstick-and-eyeliner faces.

Here is one look I did which I really liked:

Wearing:

Face: Illamasqua Sophie powder blush, some No 7 face powder (the name has worn off)

Eyes: an unnamed light creamy colour from MUA Heaven and Earth palette, Illamasqua Ore Pure Pigment, Darling Girl Glitter Glue, Illamasqua Sophie pencil on my waterline. Mac Fling on my eyebrows

Lips: Darling Girl Raining Blood Holo-Gloss

My older sister, Laura,  joined us on the holiday for a while and loved this look. She liked it so much that she bullied me into doing a version of it for her one night when we went out for a meal.

Now I am really quite bad at putting makeup on other people, sadly I don't think I could ever be a makeup artist, but I think I did quite a good job here! She liked it too :)

Wearing:

Face: she did her foundation , I think she used Benefit Some Kinda Gorgeous. I added some Sleek blush in Guipere.

Eyes: the same colour from the MUA palette, Illamasqua Ore pigment, Collection 2000 Dig It glitter eye liner, black mascara. Mac Fling on the eyebrows.

Lips: Darling Girl Raining Blood Holo-Gloss

What do you think of my awesome makeup artistry? :P 

Annnd beneath the cut are some funny faces:

Upside-Down

  Hullo everyone.

A while ago my video collab The Makeup Heroes decided to do a look based on Makeupgeektv's Upside-Down Smokey Eye look.

I took about a million years to do mine because I suck but finally got everything finished yesterday. 

I decided to do two different looks and make my first video tutorials at the same time. You can see them on my youtube channel here.

Firstly I did a pretty straight recreation of the look, just using more sparkly makeup. I thought it looked quite pretty but I am pretty awful at smoking out shadows so it's most certainly not perfect :P

   

 

 

Wearing:

Face: Illamasqua Skin Base Foundation in 02, ELF Studio blush and bronzer duo, Illamasqua Under-Eye Concealer in 115 (I think it's a tiny tiny bit too pale for me :( )

Eyes: Illamasqua Precision Ink eyeliner in Glister, Illamasqua Pure Pigment in Static, Illamasqua Medium Pencil in Sophie, Barry M Glitter Dust in 23 , Illamasqua Powder Eyeshadow in Quantum, Benefit They're Real Mascara.

Lips: Evil Shades Deviant Lipstick in Silk stockings  

Then I decided to do a slightly more Avant-Garde version of the look, inspired by the Illamasqua Theatre of the Nameless Collection.

 

Wearing:

Face: Illamasqua Skin Base Foundation in 02.

Eyes: MUA Matt Eyeshadow in 16, Sugarpill Pressed Eyeshadow in Tako, Illamasqua Medium Eye Pencil in Sophie, Illamasqua Precision Ink in Abyss, Benefit They're Real mascara.

Eyebrows: Sugarpill Bulletproof pressed shadow.

Lips: Illamasqua Lipstick in Kontrol

I'll be a bit busy this weekend as tomorrow and Monday we are having some Halloween get-togethers. The winner of my giveaway will be announced on tuesday or wednesday next week (when I have enough time to put together the excel spreadsheet) sorry for the delay!
