Gold and Plum

Hey Everyone! I'm here with another look for you. This look is great for the holidays and any parties you may be attending. Plum and gold is one of my favorite color combinations to do and it looks great for any occasion. The gold gives the shimmer that every party look needs and the plum gives the subtle pop of color that's still smokey.
Here is the look:

Winter Lips

Hi Everyone! So I have some exciting news! I'm heading to New York on the 18th of this month :D I cannot wait and I plan on doing soooo much shopping when I'm there. I should have a look up maybe before I go or while I'm there. I will take loads of pictures if I can and probably do a blog post on it and maybe a haul.

Anywhoo I do have a look today for you and it's another Winter type look. This is actually one of my favorite makeup looks. I find that a deep plum or purple lip suits me a lot better than a red lip and even when I wear a red lip I tend to gravitate towards a wine or burgundy shade. I think it's because I'm a neutral, slightly cool tone skin and the cooler the red or purple the better. It also could be that I am so pale which I love and the plums and burgundys make you look paler.
Here's my color palette:

 All Inglot R-L: Freedom System Lipstick 42, AMC Shine 30, AMC Shine 153, Matte 344, Matte 360

I love pairing these lips with a very neutral eye. It could be just a nude lid and a light taupe in the crease with some mascara or a more defined eye with some shimmer and liner like what I did here.

Here is a list of the products I used:

Face: Maybelline Fit Me Foundation in 115

         Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in 15

         E.L.F HD Powder

         Sleek Blush in Antique

         Benefit Dallas Bronzer

Eyes: Two Faced Shadow Insurance

         Inglot Matte 358 (Brows)

         Essence Lash and Brow Gel

         Nyx Jumbo Pencil in Milk

         Inglot Matte 344

         Inglot Matte 360

         Inglot AMC Shine 153

         Inglot Matte 373

         Inglot AMC Shine 30

         Collection Cosmetics Lasting Colour Gel Eyeliner in Brown

         Bourjois Volume Clubbing Ultra Black Mascara

         I-Envy By Kiss Lashes in Au Naturale 08 – KPED08

Mulberry Wine

Hey Everyone! It's now getting colder and darker and winter is finally here. One of the things I think about when I think about this time of year is mulled wine. Even though I don't like wine myself there's something about mulled wine that says warmth and makes me think about an open fire.
This is the look I came up with :)

For the eyes I applied a mauve shade all over the lid but I kept it very soft. I wanted to keep the focus on the lips but still wanted the eyes to be in the same color family.

I wanted the lips to have that berry stained look like you get when you drink red wine and it leaves the lips looking slightly red. I didn't want the lips to be a true red but a more pinky red like a berry.

Here is a list of the products I used:

Face: Maybelline Fit Me Foudation 115

      Collection Cosmetics Lasting Perfection Concealer in Fair

      Kryolan Translucent Powder

      Sleek Blush By 3 In Sweet Cheeks

      Benefit Dallas Bronzer

Eyes: Two Faced Shadow Insurance 

      Inglot Eyeshadow Matte 358 (Brows)

      Essence Lash and Brow Gel

      Inglot Eyeshadow Matte 341

Halloween 2013: Candy Corn Eyes

Hey Everyone! I have another Halloween look here for you today and this one is a little different. I decided to do  a look that wasn't costume related but still was inspired by Halloween. I decided on a Candy Corn look because I loved the colors and I thought it would look cool on the eye.
Here it is :)

I wanted to keep the color order of the candy corn. Even though the orange is deeper than the yellow and you would think to put it on the outer corner, I kept it on the center like the traditional candy corn. I also kept the shape. The candy corn is like a triangle shape so I kept the inner corner sort of pointed and the outer corner straight and slightly squared off.

I chose a bright fuchsia pink lip because I wanted to keep the look really bright and fun. You can always opt for a peachy shade or a nude to keep the look wearable but I wore this out because why not! :P

Here is a list of the products I used:

Face: Maybelline Fit Me Foundation in 115

         Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in 15

         E.L.F HD Pwder

         Benefit Dandelion Blush

         Benefit Dallas Bronzer

Eyes: E.L.F Eyelid Primer

         Inglot Matte 358 (Brows)

         Essence Lash and Brow Gel

         NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk

         Inglot Matte 368

         Inglot Matte 373

         Inglot AMC 51

         Inglot D.S 474

         Sleek Vintage Romance Palette - Pretty in Paris

         Collection Cosmetics Dazzle Me Eyeshadow in Jaffa

         Barry M Dazzle Dust in Yellow Gold

         Inglot Matte 354

         Catrice Ultra Fine Ink Eyeliner Waterproof

         Ardell 137 Lashes

Lips: Inglot ColorPlay Lipstick in 98

Halloween 2013: The Witching Hour

Hi there! Here's the next Halloween look this year and it's a witch inspired look. For this look I didn't want to do the traditional green faced big nose witch. I wanted a look that was inspired by the traditional witch.
I did a pale face with some grey contouring to give that sort of ghostly effect. I chose green because I love how it looks but you can chose any color you want that matches your costume, purple would also look great with this. Just a little warning there's a lot of pictures.
On with the look!

I used Inglot eye shadows to complete this look because you all know I have a slight obsession with that brand and when I say slight I really mean scary obsession :P

Here is a list of products I used:

Face: Kryolan Ultra Foundation in TV White

         E.L.F HD Powder Translucent

         Inglot D.S 501 (contour)

         Inglot Matte 348 (Deeper contour)
