Worn Metal

Hey guys,

it has been a few months since I last did a blog post and I have done a few looks in the meantime so I will have some posts coming your way. This look that I have today is a deeper, more smokey look for the Summer and is a great one for a night out or special occasion.

With this look I loved the contrast between the cool grays and the warmer gold, I think they are very striking together. To me it sort of looks a little like rusted steel hence the 'Worn Metal' name. I went for a more intense liner for this as well with the point on the inner corner to add even more drama to the look.

Here's my look:

On the lips I decided again a true lip lip because I thought it would drain me a little so instead I went with a soft baby pink to add a little bit of colour without over powering the overall look.

Plum and Gold Halo

Hey Everyone!

The look I have today is something that I was messing around with. I've been liking playing with this eyeshadow shape recently, it makes the eye look quite round and large so it would be nice to try if you have slightly smaller eyes.

Plum and gold is one of my favorite colour combinations anyway so I thought it would be perfect for this look. I love how it's a warm plum and the strong gold on the center of the lid really makes this perfect for the Summer.

Here's the look:

For the lips I wanted to keep with the warm theme so I went for a nude lip pencil that has a slight peachy base to it and then a true nude lipstick and gloss.

Spring Time Pop

So I have been a little bit M.I.A on my blog and my Facebook page, (ok a lot M.I.A, like 6 months now at this stage) which is really bad so I apologize for that. I had been working a lot so I didn't have time to do much else.

Anywhoo I am back which some looks in mind and I'm kicking them off with this Spring inspired look. This is a nice a simple enough look and has a little of everything I like in a Springtime look, a nice sorta wearable look that has pops of colour.

Here's the look:

As you can see it a little bit colourful but still sort of wearable and paired with a nude lip can be toned down even more. I applied a super soft pink to the lips to tie in with the little bit of pink on the inner corner.

Here is what I used for this look:

Face: MAC Strobe Cream

         Maybelline Fit Me Foundation in 115

         MAC Prolongwear Concealer on NW15

         Sleek Makeup Del Mar Palette - Feel Euphoric (Light Pink)
