Halloween makeup- robot


Hey guys!! So i have been really enjoying doing these halloween make up ideas, its something different to my normal fashion posts and will probably only happen at this time of year! 

So today's look is inspired by a robot where it looks like the skin has been scratched to reveal the metal underneath. This look us created by using simple day to day makeup and fake blood. For this you will need- liquid/ pencil eyeliner, silver and grey eye shadow and fake blood (and your normal makeup for the rest of your face). 

Step 1- put on your normal makeup, foundation mascara- the lot, then using eyeliner draw jaggedy lines (like i have), this will create the basic look.


Step 2 - using the darker of the two eye shadows, fill in the shapes you have just made.


Step 3- using your eyeliner again, make similar lines and dots to the ones i have done to create the nut & bolt metal look.


Step 4- using the lighter eye shadow that you have, use it as a highlighter so make the 'metal' look more shiny and realistic.


Step 5- Finally, using the fake blood and a thin make up brush/ paint brush, paint around the 'metal' and on the side towards the middle of your face brush the blood towards your nose, this will make it look more scratched. Add extra lines to add smaller scratches.





FINISHED! So this look is now finished, i haven't put on much make up so to really finish this look off i would go all out with smokey eyes, winged eyeliner red or metalic lipstick and contact lenses. 

Have fun!!!

See you tomorrow!

Halloween makeup- doll

Hey guys, so I really hope you are enjoying these Halloween makeup tutorials that I am doing, bare in mind that I am NOT a makeup pro so they're not the best but I think I have done pretty well considering its only basic makeup I am using! Anyway... todays makeup is a creepy doll which  is so easy to do and so effective!

Step 1- put your normal foundation on and mascara on your top lashes- not the bottom ones and put on winged eyeliner and using a pencil eyeliner draw a semi circle under your eyes and fill It in with white face paint.
Step 2- under the semi circle lines, do lots of little lines to create the under lashes. Put on the brightest blusher that you own to make very rosy cheeks. For this next part I used a brown eye brow pencil to create the freckles on each cheek, for this stage you can do how ever many dots you desire! Then draw on your eye brows- bigger and darker than you would normally have them.

Stage 3- LIPS- using your white face paint, cover the whole bottom lip in it, going over the bottom edge to make your bottom lip look much bigger, this will be the base for your top set of teeth.

Under the white bottom lip, using eyeliner/ black face paint, draw another lip shape as big/ small as you want as this will be the darkness between the top and bottom teeth.
Then and another layer of white paint under the black to create the bottom set of teeth, this should be a similar size to the top white shape. These stages should be going down your chin to create the large mouth look.
The next stage is to get your bright red lipstick, the brighter the better I think and cover your top lip like you normally would with lipstick, and the outline the white and black shapes you have just made and make the bottom part thicker as this will be your bottom lip.




The final mouth stage is to draw lines down the mouth like I have above- this creates the teeth, they should be about 1cm wide- but this size is totally up to you. After this, from the corners of your mouth, using eyeliner, draw a line down to the bottom of your chin, this creates the puppet like mouth element.
FINISHED!! So easy right and really effective!




So I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial and find it easy to follow!
See you tomorrow!
Good luck & enjoy!

Grey







 


 
 
 
Hey guys!
Sorry I haven't posted this week, I've been really busy back at uni!
So its officially getting colder.. which I am not loving so much. I would much rather it be hot all year round, but then we wouldn't get to wear cute warm & woolly outfits!
 
So this is today's outfit! I'm really trying to avoid jumpers and thick clothing as I'm still clinging on to the thought of summer! All my outfits this week have included either a skirt/ dress or bright floral trousers (and tights)!
 
So this grey swing dress is actually Bella's, and I think she bought it last year from missguided. It is really soft and it looks woolly and thick but its actually pretty thin and stretchy and is really easy to dress up and down. I wore this with some tights that I got from primark, the boots I also wore are from primark which I bought last year too and are so comfy.
 
This sleeveless jacket is from Amazon.co.uk, I bought it in black but there was a mocha, white and khaki one but i decided on black as it goes with pretty much everything! It also has a tie that goes round it to do up at the front.
 
I'm also wearing my Olivia Burton watch and Thomas Sabo necklace and a purpley red lipstick from Kiko Cosmetics number 614.

Faux Suede










 
Hey Guys! I hope you had a great weekend!
The weather is so confusing at the moment you wake up and it'd freezing outside but by lunch time the sun is out and its boiling, this is what happened yesterday when I wore this outfit and I was just so hot in long sleeves and tights! But I loved this outfit so I didn't really care about the weather haha! I'm loving faux suede so much at the moment, I bought this skirt from Primark for £10! I love this skirt, it fits perfectly and it is so so soft so for a tenner this is a bargain!
 
I teamed the skirt with my boohoo.com lace up back crop top which is really comfy and looks nice with most skirts/ trousers that I have! I also wore black tights- as it was cold when I got dressed- and pointed black dolly shoes that are also from primark , I will add a link to them below. I also wore my faux fur gilet that I bought in primark last year, I will also add a link below to something similar as I don't think they still sell them.
 
The bag that I finished this outfit off with was my python Celine bag which I love so much and is by far my favourite bag ever and Tom Ford sunglasses.
 
So as I said on my instagram, I have just started back at Uni for my second year and will have loads of projects to keep on top of so I am going to try my hardest to keep on top of my blog as much as I can by posting at least twice a week as I have been! If you have any requests on what you would like to see me blog about feel free to leave me comments below! I also hope you all like my review post that I did the other day, I really enjoyed doing it and will be doing more in the future, it was just something different to what I have previously done and I hope you enjoyed reading it!
 
See you all next time!

Hey guys!! How have you all been?! Today's post is a kinda belated payday wish list (slash) what I really want for the next few months as A/W approaches!

So the first three images of the most recent online purchase that I have made from boohoo.com. I LOVE lace up items at the moment and faux suede, and especially when they are together! So these three garments arrived this morning.. don't you love that feeling you get when the doorbell rings and you know that its a delivery for you.. its so exciting, but opening it is the best part, its addictive and makes me so happy to have these newbie in my life (sad I know)!! These boots are just below knee height, they have a zip down the back so they are easy to put on/ take off and have lace up sides so you can loosen them slightly if they are too tight tot begin with- they are also VERY comfy and easy to walk in I have seen these sold in quite a lot of other online shops e.g. public desire for the same price. The second item is the faux suede 'chocolate' brown lace up front dress, this is so so soft and would look really good either dressed up or down! The last item that arrived this morning is the black high neck long sleeved lace up back crop top which looks so cute on and will go with so much of my wardrobe, if you would like me to post about how I style it then please let me know!!

So the next items in this list of my A/W wish list, are all from missguided. I'm loving khaki and rust coloured things at the moment as you can tell as most of these are those colours. The first item is similar to the black crop top that I have just told you about with the lace up feature with its lace up sleeves which I just so cute! I have also previously blogged about my love for wide leg trousers which I'm still loving for the next seasons, as well as culottes, I recently bought myself some white culottes from primary (which is risky because I don't trust myself wearing white things because knowing me ill ruin them) but I'm loving these pinstripe culottes as they are still summery but also great for autumn as if you're like me and really don't want summer to be over yet they keep the summery vibe alive!

I remember Bella loving the kind of shirts that are next on the list last year and this year I'm loving them too as shirt dresses as they are so simple yet make a real statement and are so easy to dress up with the new lace up boots that is at the top of this list or some converse to dress it down.

As I have also previously mentioned, I am loving khaki and rust colours this season, they are just so bang on trend and colours that I wouldn't usually wear but I can't get enough of them right now! I'm loving this khaki sleeveless duster style jacket with matching trousers, I love this sophisticated coord outfit and it needs to be in my wardrobe when payday comes around!! Same with these rust wide leg trousers, they are so nice and they're even better that they're high wasted and would look lush with my black lace back crop!

The last thing on this list is the beautiful double tassel rust faux suede jacket that I can't imagine being the best in the rain but lovely in the cool autumn breeze. This is an ultimate MUST for the up and coming season!

If you have any questions/ suggestions, as always, let me know and i'll catch you on my next post!!

Cute Culottes







 
Hey guys, I hope you've had been having a lovely weekend!
So this is the outfit that I wore shopping yesterday, I don't usually wear culottes unless I'm on holiday for some reason, but yesterday I decided I wanted a change from my long wide leg trousers and dresses so I decided these were the perfect item to mix it up a little.
 
These culottes are so comfy and I found them really easy to style with a simple black knitted crop top my trusty white sandals which I have lived In this summer and a very simple gold necklace. These culottes could be worn with any colour top I think as they are black and white, most colours would look good. I really like how these look, from a distance like a cute girlie midi skirt, when in actual fact they're not. These are definitely a summer must have as they are different to other garments that I own. I really like the bold palm tree print which is really on trend at the moment. I doubt Primark sell these anymore as I bought them last year but I'm sure there are similar ones out there! This is definitely my favourite outfit of the month so far, and everything is from Primark! I have added some links below to some similar items to what I am wearing!
