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!

Halloween makeup- pop art

Hey guys!! I hope you enjoyed yesterdays skull post, this is another idea for Halloween but less scary and very easy!

So step 1, put on your normal makeup- foundation, bronzer, blusher, mascara then use a brightly coloured eyeshadow- I used green and yellow as it stands out, then put your eyeliner on.

The next step is to colour in your eyebrows- the darker the better and make them bigger than you normally do, then choose a bright lipstick, the one I'm using is 'girl about town' by mac and this will be the base colour for your next step.

Step 3- use eyeliner and make little lines on your face, like I have. This will create more shape and structure to your face. Then using eyeliner again, draw around your lips, flicking it out at both ends, using black eye shadow, shade in the corners of your lips making them look bigger and bolder, then using white face paint add little bits to the centre of each lip to make it look like light is hitting them, making them look even bigger and in your face! (close up below)

                                                                                                                                                                                                     

Step 4- using the white face paint, add white dots all over your face finishing this pop art look off, I used the end of a brush to create these as it was the perfect size for the dots.

The final step is to draw a tear shape under which ever eye you want, use eyeliner to do this, and colour in the shape you have made in blue eye shadow.

DAH DARRH! Finished!

I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial, see you again tomorrow with my third halloween makeup idea and check out my instagram for more photos and videos on these!

Enjoy!

Halloween makeup- cracked skull

Hey guys! So over the next few days leading up to Halloween I am going to post some picture tutorials on how to create these easy yet effective makeup masks using what is in your makeup bag (and white paint). For this look you will need- white paint, eyeliner, black eye shadow, red lipstick and the rest of your day today makeup.

Step 1- use black eyeliner to create this zig-zag shape on one side of your face, how ever big/ small you desire.

Step 2- now you have the zig-zag shape, put your normal make up into the zig-zag shape. On the other side, cover the rest of your face in white face paint and draw a circle in eyeliner around your eye socket and colour it in using the eyeliner (you can use black face paint too but eyeliner is all I had at the time!)

Step 3- draw a line in eyeliner from your cheek bone to the edge of your mouth. Then colour the end of your nose in and triangular kind if shape and shade in around the zig- zag and the side of your forehead to give shape. And creating a good skull is all about shading. (sorry the pictures are around the wrong way the wouldn't change sides). Once you have done this, shade in under the cheek bone line and add a slightly lighter one above it then use a thin brush and black eye shadow to create little crack like marks on your forehead. After that, use your eyeliner to create little lines on your lips to begin to create the teeth, going about an inch onto your cheek and then do upside down 'C' shapes linking each line together to finish the teeth shape. I then went back and added more white paint to each tooth to make them stand out more.

The final step is to add red lipstick to the 'normal' side of your lips! make sure you remember to shade in around the zig- zags on this side of your face too! If you really want to make this whole look 'POP' id suggest adding paint down your neck and adding shading, and getting some white contact lenses would really finish this look off!!!

I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial! I will be posting another one tomorrow!!

Enjoy!

Winter is coming

 

 

 

 

Hey guys!! I hope you are all well!

 

As I have said before, I am so obsessed with faux suede skirts this season, this one is from Primark and one of many that I own. I have this in red and black as well as this brown one, it is one of those skirts that you have to have in every colour and it is easily dressed up/ down, this is my day look for uni.

I wore thicker tights than I have been with this outfit as its getting so cold now! So I wore knitted tights from Primark and little snake skin patterned dolly shoes, which are also from Primark. The top I am wearing is a long sleeved night neck crop top with a lace up back which adds a statement to the whole outfit I feel, I love this top as it suits being worn for a evening out or for a more casual outfit such as this one.

This top is from Boohoo.com. The jacket I teamed this outfit with is my leather one from Primark, I really like this jacket as its slightly thinner than other leather jackets that I have had before which I find is better as I can wear it on warmer days with a thin top or on colder days and layer up under it and still be the perfect temperature!

The necklace I am wearing is from Thomas Sabo with one white bead, I love this necklace so much, I had it as a present from a few of my friends for my birthday (in September) and I haven't taken it off since as it goes with everything I wear!

 

If any of you would like to see any more reviews or DIY posts, please let me know and I will mix my posts up a bit :). See you next week!

Leather Weather

 

 

 

Hello everyone! I hope you are all well!

 

So this is today's outfit, I only had to go into uni for about an hour so I went in very casual today with black jeans which are from Primark with my leather jacket which is also from Primark. I love this leather jacket, as its quite thin so I can wear a jumper under it to layer up or wear this strappy top and still be warm as I don't think it is cold enough yet to bring out the thick parker coats!

 

The top is faux suede from New look in a khaki/ brown and is so soft! I teamed this all with white converses which gives this casual look a more biker feel. To inject some colour into this outfit, I wore my MAC 'Girl About Town' lipstick.

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.

Favourite garment of September

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hey guys! I can't believe its October already!

As You have probably guessed, today's post is about my love for (faux) suede skirts! I raved a lot about them in September so I decided to make it my favourite garment of the month and I'm pretty sure it will be one of my favourites throughout the autumn/ winter!

 

I have already posted about the first skirt in these images, which I bought from Primark, I have worn this skirt so much since I bought it as it is so comfy and soft so I went into the Oxford Street store yesterday and picked up two more one that is a reddy brown and the other is more of a chocolate brown, these ones have zips down the front which is a lot easier to do up compared to the button up skirt!! I always find that Primark clothing is always oddly sized so I usually go for a size bigger, especially when I buy faux suede/ leather- just a tip!

 

The black skirt in these photos is from New Look. It has a zip halfway down the back so it is easy to do up it is also very soft! I like this one as it is so simple and looks cute with so many different tops and is easily dressed up/ down. The New Look sizing is totally different compared to Primark's because for this skirt I had to buy a size smaller than I would usually buy as my normal size was too big!

 

Below are the links to the skirts above, I will also add some links to come other faux suede skirts that I have found (and want) from more shops!

 

See you next time!!
