How to perfect your lipstick | Pictorial

 Sometimes just chucking on a lipstick isn't going to cut it, especially with some formulas that like to make their way over your face, or does that just happen to me? I've found that applying my lipstick this way, using different lip liners & doing it in different layers helps it to stay put & last a lot longer, too. This is not something that I do everyday but when I have time & I'm wearing a bolder lip colour I like to spend a bit more on the lips. 1. Line just outside of your natural lip line with a lip liner that is close to your natural colour if you prefer a fuller lip.

Pink Leopard LOTD

So as I previously mentioned, I went to a festival this past weekend, and I wanted to do something that would kinda stand out more. Since I did the "normal" leopard print look a few weeks back I wanted to try a colourful one. I wanted the pinks to be more graduated but oh well, I also added some orange which kind of turned it into a sunset leopard but I was still happy with it. Thanks for looking!   Eyes~ 120 palette light pink first 1/4 of lid darker pink on middle of lid purple pink on outer half (sorry for bad descriptions, needa take a photo of it lol) at first i used the neon pink in the crease then i went over it with the orange NYX JEP in black bean for spots & liner Silver glitter liner in spots that didn't show up in pictures but it did in r/l (i swear!) CG lashblast fusion woah sorry for this being too big but the other ones kept coming out too small SO & I, with added zinc :) lol

Hey guys! This weekend i went to a festival so I will be posting my special makeup look for that sometime this week so stay tuned! Lately I have been trying to make my eyes look more smouldering and not so round (but I guess the "smizing" --think antm lol-- kinda helps :P) I really liked this and it was only using one main pigment! Yup you guessed it, nyx. :) Read on for product list and more piccs  *so this was taken before i got changed into my work shirt, sorry about the hair!!!*  Product list- everything NYX unless otherwise stated Face~ --Peach blush over glow cream blush (I forgets- oops lol) --Taupe for light contouring --Not sure for highlight (or if i even did that step!) Eyes~ --JEP in dark brown --Mocha pearl pigment on lid & lower lashline --I think i may have had leftover colour on my blending brush for the crease but I also added a taupy colour to help blend out --White pearl for highlight --Artliner for top lash line --Bourjois contour eyeliner in waterline
