How to perfect your lipstick | Pictorial

Imagen
 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. Tip: If you're going for a nude lip, use a colour slightly darker than your lipstick. 2. Apply your lipstick of choice. It doesn't matter if you don't cover up the liner completely as we'll be going over that again. Make sure to really press your lips together to work the lipstick in. Tip: Use a lip brush with the first coat which helps the lipstic

New hair + Ice Queen FOTD

My hair was in desperate need of a colour, I liked the colour that I had before but I've had red in my hair for so long that I wanted to go more violet-y. & it still has some red in it so I like that :D These pics were taken the day after so I made sure that I slept on my hair nicely haha. & to go with my new hair I wanted to do a more "special" look so yet again I tried a cut crease look (again haha) which I thought I had better try to name. Products: Nyx Cream Cheese JEP 88 Warm Palette - Blue circle lid - Orange crease - Purple Crease/ Outer V - Green eyeliner Black Bean JEP as a base for the e/l ELF Peachy keen Nyx Summer Love [?] & a bonus picture of our beautiful cat Mishka since I don't think I've posted one since she was a baby, when she was grey with black tips. She lost all her grey & turned orange/brown & black but is getting more greys again, hehe. This is how she likes to sleep =) I was going to post a few looks into this one, but

Summer Fresh Makeup

Just some more pictures with the same FOTD from my foundation tutorial... When I was doing it I had more of a Victoria's Secret look in mind as I had just watched Transformers 3 the night before (major girl crush on Rosie & her hair & make up!) but in the end I think I strayed from the inspiration- oh well, I still like it & I think I may do this in summer when its too hot 2 do anything else because its quick & easy- minus the winged eyeliner, I think I might skip that. Products~~ Eyes: NYX JEP in cottage cheese over the lid the lightest colour in the Sleek Storm palette all over Lightly blended a bronze colour into the outer corner, going slightly onto the lid Bronzer in the crease Lancome artliner The Makeup Store e/l in Crazy Lazy (blue) Cheeks: Nyx glow cream blush bronzer that you cannot see haha Lips: Bys lipstick in Coral Kiss Thanks for looking <33

My Foundation Routine (Pic Heavy)

Imagen
So although my foundation routine has changed plenty of times over the years I am quite pleased with how I do it now, but I hope that I continue to improve it :) So I think the title explains it all, lets get to it ;). Product list/ pictures are at the end  Apply your primer! Beware the naked skin. You will see that I have blemishes to cover up, you can't really see the extent of the scarring though.  Before anything else you will have to use your colour correctors first (green skin is not a good look haha) I only apply the green concealer if I feel like I need it.  I blend out the yellow concealer with the foundation end of the Essence of Beauty brush. I find this is fluffier than other foundation brushes so I like it for this job. Then with the concealer end I apply my concealer. In the same order that I applied it in each spot (nose, chin, cheeks, forehead) I blend it out with the brush again. You want to mainly blend the edges. Only apply a little bit of concealer at a time, yo

A few different FOTD's + Nails

Hey guys, just a compilation of looks again.... nothing too exciting but since I took the pics I may as well post lol. Please excuse the oh so creative names of the looks. Its too hard to name them!!! ~Tropical Blues ~ Just a bright blue look using colours from the 120 palette. Not a look I liked with my eyes closed but oh wells. Of course I used Nyx JEP in Milk to get them brighter. I also used a purple for the eyeliner. I can't quite remember what I used on the cheeks (maybe ELF peachy keen) but on the lips is Nyx Summer love.  ~Purple & Pink~  I used a BYS metallic palette for this, cheeks is uh I cant remember to be honest ha ha sorry, and lips is NYX fig. An attempt at a waterfall braid.. IDK if you can see it here properly but it didn't turn out too bad.  Another look using the same palette :] Cheeks are NYX pinky, lips are NYX Chloe dabbed on. .:Nails:. I wonder if you can guess what this is inspired from, hehe. I think that this is I think the first form of nail ar
