Halloween makeup- stitched up

Hey guys, I hope you have found my previous tutorials helpful and enjoyable! So this is the easiest halloween make up design that i have done, its not my favourite but i think it is really effective and would look even better with the right outfit and maybe red contact lenses.

Step 1- put on your normal makeup (i haven't done this stage as you can tell) and using eyeliner draw lines in random areas on your face, this will create the depth of the stitching,

Step 2- using fake blood, and a paint brush/ thin makeup brush go over the eyeliner lines and add little 'stitch' marks on each of these lines. 

Final stage! After i did stage 2, i decided i wanted a few extra stitch marks so i simply added them in after to my eyebrow, lips and chin, i also covered my lips in the fake blood, you can also use red lipstick to do this. As i said before, i haven't put my normal makeup on so to finish this look, make sure you have you eye make up on and contact lenses would really make this look pop!

As i have also said, this is the easiest tutorial that i have done so enjoy!
See you tomorrow!

D.I.Y Louboutin's

 

 

 

 

Happy Friday guys!!

 

So today's post is a little different to my previous ones! It is my 21st birthday in September and I really wanted some fab shoes, so I had been looking at ones online... especially admiring Christian Louboutin's infamous red soled beauties! Obviously I can't afford the real thing so I decided I would make my own for so much cheaper !

 

To begin with I shopped around for the 'perfect shoes' that will go with my birthday dress. I finally found them in the Next sale for a whole £16 from £32 (ish)!

 

I then researched the best way to paint the bottom of shoes and found that using wall paint and clear acrylic were a popular thing to use as well as a simple nail varnish and clear top coat- so I decided to use nail varnish as it would be cheaper!

 

When it came to painting the soles of my shoes, I covered the fabric around the sole with masking tape to avoid getting the paint on to the rest of the shoe. I also made sure there was no dirt on the soles before I painted them so I gave them a quick clean with soapy water which did the trick.

 

The nail varnish I used to paint the soles of these shoes was a 'Miss Sporty' red in the shade 150 (which was £1.99 a bottle I think), I got two bottles (one for each sole as the bottles are only small and need more than one layer). I then painted each sole with two coats- leaving each one to dry before I added another coat.

 

I then left them over night before adding two layers of 'Collection Top Coat' (which was about £2.99). I decided to use a clear nail varnish to keep the red on as if my nail varnish can stay on without getting chipped after working or washing up I think it can stay on the bottom of some shoes- even if it doesn't last that long!

 

Once the clear had dried my own Louboutin's were finished! I can't wait to wear this next month, and I will be doing a post on my birthday outfit- including these beauties! I hope you like this post- if so let me know and I can try and do more like this!!

 

Have a lovely weekend!

Pay day!! Surely it's one of the best days of the month, right!? Well I think so anyway. Here is a cheeky look into my wish list from missguided.co.uk and M.A.C cosmetics. These gorgeous items are what I have been looking at over the past few weeks and really really want! 

Over the past month or so I have really loved this 'lace up' style that I have seen in most shops recently, and as you can see, most of this wish list is lace up.. the shoes included.

 

SHOES. I simply cannot get enough of them, as my friends and family know all too well . I have a shoe shelf in my room with probably about 30 (give or take a couple), to be honest I have lost count. These two pairs would look so lush on as the would off... in a space on my infamous shelf! I really like how these shoes could also be worn with a casual outfit or to finish off the perfect evening/ party outfit! They would also go with every outfit that I also have on this wish list which is just fab! 

During summer I love to wear clothing like the swing dress and loose fitting tops as they are lighter and cooler to wear in the heat, (when I say heat, I mean on holiday.. Obviously not this English weather) so these cute garments would be the perfect holiday clothes! 

 

M.A.C. So this is another brand I am totally obsessed with and have been for many years. I cannot go too a M.A.C shop without buying something.. it is usually a lipstick.

The top two images are of a recent collection called 'Look In A Box'. The top set is 'Look In A Box Lip Kit, Pretty Natural' which includes the following items for a total of £29-

 

 1 lip liner, 'Subculture'

1 lipstick, 'Pretty Natural' 

1 lipglass, 'Feeling Fine'

 

The second set is called 'Look In A Box Face Kit, Sophisticate which is more expensive at £49 but it includes the following;

 

2 powder blushes, 'Cream Soda & Linda'

6 eye shadows, 'Hey, Sun Tweaked, Wedge, With Flair, Beautifully Charred & Dance in the dark'

2 Lipsticks, 'Love happens & True red'

Duo- handed brush.

 

(This set also comes with a face chart to help you through the application).

 

I really want both of these sets and the outfits so much they are so gorgeous and would be perfect for my holiday!!

Elephant shorts

 

 

Hey guys, so I have had this blog for a while but with work and Uni I haven't had the time too post anything! I have finally found the time before I go back too uni in September to start blogging. I'm planning on doing outfit, lifestyle, travel and inspirational posts...(basically everything I love) so let me know what you think!

 

So here we go with my first post.

I absolutely love these elephant print shorts from Missguided, they are so cute and so comfortable. They are slightly too big for me so I can wear them as high wasted shorts, and combining them with a cute simple crop makes it a simple summery outfit.

 

 

I have styled them with a black off the shoulder crop top, and white sandals both of which are from primark. The sunglasses are also new and are from Asda! I never expected to find a lush pair of shades in a supermarket, and for only a fiver, I couldn't resist.

Shorts- Missguided 

Top- Primark

Sandals (not in photos)- primark 

Sunnys- ASDA
