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

Daytime Glamour

 For some reason the other day I felt like wearing makeup appropriate for going out.... so here it is haha. Complete with falsies & glitter. eeek frizzies ommmg the eyelashes are horrendous (application, anyway ha ha), I didn't even notice until I saw these pics. Although I could feel it coming off in the inner corner. Yikes! I'm too scared to bind them into my natural lashes with the eyelash curler in fears of the shape getting damaged.  Also my hair is the biggest mess. IDK what to do with it lately =/ Products: Bourjois Blush in 16 ok so for the eyes I applied nyx glitter liner in disco ball first and than applied the gray in the 2 Faced duo "Ooh Ahh" but I think I should have done it the other way around because it didn't work very well & the glitter sticked to my brush. I used Nyx Black Bean (not pictured) before I applied the black in the 2 Faced duo & blended a bit into the silver. I also lightly applied a neutral colour in the crease. A little

Pin-up MU ft. Kate by Rimmel & Maybelline Master Precise

Imagen
 I have some products/ looks lining up & I have used 2 of them in this look to kill 2 birds in one stone, ha. I have been searching high & low for these Kate lipsticks every time I see a Rimmel display & finally found them, but only chose one colour, so next time I think I want to buy a few more. Also I have been wanting to try a new liquid eyeliner in a while, so I went with the Maybelline Master Precise e/l because the title is exactly what I wanted, haha. Anyway... If I had more time I would have made my hair a bit nicer, but I had just washed it the night before and it wouldn't stay in place, plus I had to finish getting ready for work.   Products 28 Neutral Palette for the eyes Maybelline Master Precise e/l Nyx milk JEP on waterline Falsies would have been nice but I didn't want to make it too much for work. CG Lashblast Fusion Blush is Face of Australia in Outback Primrose. The Lips Kate by Rimmel in 09 I did use a lipliner, but it wasn't the sharpest so

Pretty Pastels... + a few extras, + a note to all Aussie Beauty Bloggers

In case you may have realized, I had been gone for just under a week. I went up to Perth with my boss & another girl to go to a DMK course, which is our skincare brand that we use in the salon. Because it is a paramedical skincare it is very scientific & complicated, and you have to do many courses each year to keep up with itm but as it was my first time attending it was good to learn more about the brand & its theories. Thank god I didn't have to do the assessment at the end too! Anyhoo.. while I was gone I added to my collection so hopefully I will have plenty of things to show you for some while. Also while I was gone I got my Nyx goodies from Ebay, yay :) P.S I'm wondering why this wont save,,, so I get out of it to realize I've been signed out. grrr. Lucky I copied it before I got out lol. Aussie Beauty Bloggers just a quick note, We saw in a Beauty Therapist magazine that they are holding a convention thingy in September in Sydney, I don't

"He loved the serenity of the place... I think he also just loved the word" quote from a gold Aussie movie "The Castle" The title of this look is just something I made up hoping it wouldn't sound weird. So I googled it & up came some images which was totally how I wanted my look to come across. When I was doing it I was thinking of the beach so I think it worked out well. Not really sure where the purple came from though haha   Products: Face: Revlon Photoready Foundation Coastal Scents concealer kit Palladio Rice Powder in Translucent Revlon Hushed Blush Models Prefer Illuminator Eyes: Nyx Nude Pearl Mania Pigment- Inner lid Turquoise from 120 palette- Outer Lid; Blue from 120 palette- Crease Purple 120 palette- Lower Lash Line Nyx White Pearl- highlight Black e/s in waterline Maybelline Line Allure e/l CG Lashblast Lips: Bloom L/S in Honeysuckle Of course, my inspiration for the title It doesn't picture the sand but I can imagine it crisp & white.
