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...

Festive Holiday Makeup

Imagen
I wore this out to my partners work Christmas dinner, & wanted something a bit festive but not using the typical Christmas-y colours. I also knew I didn't want to wear red lips because I wore them out to dinner a few nights before & it faded & just looked awful, and I'd rather not worry about it! My skin looks photoshopped, but please believe me that it's not! Yes that is a feather extension poking out, I actually have 5 in my hair but because it's so thick they are always hiding. There's a spot on my cheek where my bronzer skips over it, which is so annoying!!   Products Face: Australis Paparazzi Perfect Foundation in Nude Nude by Nature Eye Definer MAC Lightscapade MAC Warm Soul Eyes: Sugarpill Goldiluxe - Lid MUG Galaxy- right on outside of gold. MAC Contrast- outer lid. I had to use Nyx's Slide on pencil eyeliner in Sunrise Blue right in the outer V for that hint of bright blue to stand out.

Day To Night// Graphic Gold & Black // Ft Katy Perry lashes

I started out with this makeup during the day.... it isn't essentially a day time look but it was day enough for me :P We were in the city for Stereosonic (best day!!) but this was the day before were we got to go out to lunch & shopping with friends and we got to see our niece for the first time in ages! Sorry for the pic heavy post. Day Makeup I did my eyes at home but finished with my foundation in the car, I was trying out a sample of the Garnier BB Cream, but as I put it on I realized it was a medium colour & a bit too dark & orange looking for me, but I blended & blended & added everything else and the colour didn't turn out too bad in the end. Unfortunately I couldn't open the packet properly and some splattered onto my strap :@ so I tried to rub it off but got lipstick on it too and made it even worse!!! *DOH* I took out my hair and kinda twisted the strap to hide it. So annoying! ~Products~ Face: Garnier BB Cream in Medium (I actually liked it...

Smokey Glitter; Subtle or Dramatic?

Imagen
These are from 2 different weekends but I wanted to do a glittery cut crease & a subtle glitter clubbing look. I used the same Sleek Palette- my go to, dramatic-smokey-eye look Bad Girl in both looks with Glitter by Nyx. These are definitely way too OTT for during the day but perfect for an eye-catching night look.   Silver Glitter & Blue Dramatic Cut-Crease Bad lighting in this look, my skin looks terrible :/. I think having the flu that week would have something to do with it, too. But I just remembered, the Fiancee has a horrible bluish tinged light, yuck! Products Face : (In both) Australis Paparazzi Perfect Foundation MAC Peachykeen Lips: Covergirl lip perfection l/s in Kiss Eyes: Firstly I applied The Face Shop Dual Eye Colour in 'Silver' to the eyelid , and cut into the crease with Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil in 'Black Bean' and also on the lower lash line & waterline . On the lid I applied the lightest grey 'Blade' from my Sleek Bad Girl . O...

Masquerade Makeup: Drama if you dare.

Imagen
A few weekends ago we went to a masquerade ball. Of course I wanted to do big, dramatic makeup for it lol. It was a really good night... when they started playing good music lol. The dress code was meant to be strict but there were quite a few people in short club dresses and people without masks... which is not what a masquerade ball is about! lol. Anyway, apart from that, it was reallly hot in the ball area and because my mask was tucked into my hair it was hard to take it off without my eyes smudging lol.  Before changing:  Products: Australis Paparazzi Perfect fdtn Coastal scents concealer palette Nars Orgasm Nude by Nature Eye Definer- contour Nyx Chrome White E/S- Highlighter TFSI Nyx JEP Black Bean- Cut into crease, outer lid, lower lash line.

Balayage hair + glitzy club makeup!

Imagen
I'm so sorry guys, I'm apologizing for the lack of posts again! Soo I got my hair done a couple of weeks back.. mainly coz my stupid roots were showing through haha.. I swear my hair grows too fast! This time she did more balayage through all of it, instead of just a few front sections like before. The only thing I will change next time is to probably just do the base colour through the top sections only to break up the lighter ends. It looks good curled, but there's kinda like a line between the colour when it's straight. Aandd- I hate bleach, my ends feel yucky now & they tangle so easily! My hair is so much more static when I brush it too lol :( Apologizing for the phone pics!  Lipstick is vivaglam nicki in case you're wondering. This is the making I wore for clubbing in the city. Mostly phone pics again sorry! That's better, camera pix :) Face: Australis Paparazzi Perfect fdtn MAC dollymix blush All About Glo Bronzer Eyes: Nyx JEP in Black Bean, drawn ...

FOTN using my MAC products from my haul

Imagen
So of course after purchasing my new products I had to use as many as I could at the same time :P Which was perfect because I bought 1 eye, 1 cheek & 1 lip product from MAC, and I couldn't have cared less if it was complementary or not LOL. Obviously this is not tonight's FOTN, it's from last week :) So we went to Adelaide for the weekend, and after a walk in the city and a quick shopping trip we made a booze run and went back to the apartment for some drinks to catch up with a friend we hadn't seen in a few years. And then we went for a night on the town.   ~Products~ Face: Australis Paparazzi Perfect Foundation 15 concealer palette Models Prefer undereye concealer Cheeks: MAC Dollymix Blush (Hard to see in the pics but I did apply a bit, just didn't want to go overboard IRL) Highlighter: Models Prefer Illuminator Contour: Nude by Nature Eye Definer Eyes: Nyx Black Bean JEP (creased quite quickly, must have applied a smidge too much, also in waterline) MAC Cont...
