I haven’t done any FOTN or FOTD in months, but I really liked my make up for prom and I thought I’d share because it’s ridiculously simple. (ignore the weird facial expression going on here) Face: Eyeko’s tinted cream Lancôme Silky matte foundation Benefit Boi-ing concealer in 02 Benefit Hoola Bronzer (no blush) (this is a terrible photo but my camera just doesn’t like artifical lighting – I’ll redo + update!) Eyes: Revlon Colorstay eyeliner Mac Indianwood paintpot Bobbi brown black gel liner Rimmel Sexy curves mascara & Collection 2000 false lash effect And some half false lashes Lips: Benefit Benetint (I’m pretty sure I single-handedly created another hole in the ozone with the amount of hairspray I used for this :/) Hair: I just curled it all to one side with a bit of a bouffant going on! (this is the best picture of what colour my dress was) Nails: I got them to match my dress by mixing a few different polishes and then I just put Barry M pink iridescence over my ring fingers. (and some random pictures of the prom itself before we went out afterwards)
A few people have asked me to do some mini nail tutorials for really simple and quick nail art so here’s one for everyone who asked :) This particular design looks great on long or short nails and you can easily make something like this unique and put your own twist on it!
You just need three colours & something to create little dots with.. (OPI what’s what the cattitude- Shrek collection, Barry M navy and Barry M Bright blue)
Step 1. Paint your nails one solid colour (I used OPI what’s with the cattitude) Step 2. Apply random dots in a slightlydarker shade(If you don’t have a dotting tool, you can use the end of a hair grip, the tip of a pencil) Step 3. Then just dot another polish slightly over the dark dots (I prefer to use a shade darker than the original colour but again it’s up to you) Hope this was helpful!! x
These have got to be one of my favourite nail art designs and it’s surprisingly simple (possibly not the best design to start with if you’re a complete beginner) I can’t take credit for this lovely design as I’ve seen similar ones all over the place, just type sunset nails into google and you’ll end up with hundreds of slight variations on this look, some very simple and some crazily detailed!
1. Apply a stripe of gold for the sand at the bottom on your nail (I used yellow and then gold over the top from barry m) 2. Once that's dry apply a blue stripe for the sea 3. Once that's dry apply a coral stripe 4. Once that's dry apply an orange stripe 5. Then apply a yellowstripe at the top just before the orange dries (these two colours should hopefully blend a little) 7. Once it's dry, use a nail art dotter to slowly dot on the palm tree in black. (alternatively you can use a cocktail stick or the end of a hair grip) This is the hardest bit so take your time. 8. Once everything is dry apply a clear top coat and your done! Hope you’ve enjoyed!! x (you could do this on every finger or something similar, I chose to just apply a plain coat of coral to my other nails though so my thumbs remained the focal point)
This is one of the cutest nail art looks I think I’ve done so I couldn’t wait to share it with you! Little owls :)
A lot of people mention when I do these posts that they don’t have the patience for looks like this, but I always do my nails while doing college work or something like that so my nails get plenty of time to dry and it doesn’t feel like I’m waiting for ever! Hope you enjoyed!! x
(This is just a quick little post, but I've got a few prewritten ones to go up over the next few weeks so hopefully there shouldn't be a gap in posts because of exams!)
I love experimenting with editorial looks and I’ve done a ton of nail art posts and eye make up looks which are pretty un-wearable if really pretty. However I’ve never branched into lip art, but I have admired several looks for ages so I decided to finally give it a go! This is what I came up with – what do you think?
This was my first attempt and working on my lips was defiantly different but I really enjoyed it, do you fancy seeing any more things like this?
I was playing around with my 180 palette the other day and I decided to make use of some really pretty shimmer sea foam green colours and I really love how this looks and it’s incredibly easy so anyone could recreate this look! I just applied a gorgeous shimmery green all over the lid and crease area then applied a slightly moreblueshadow as exagerated cat-eyeliner and blended really well :)
Something like this would look beautiful with false lashes but for me I thought my natural ones would do as the colours really are the focal point of this look and I didn’t want anything to distract from them :) Hope you’ve enjoyed!! x (This is another quick little post, but I've got some longer ones coming up - do you prefer these short ones or my longer ones? or a mixture of both?)
Colour Blocking was all over the catwalks this season and I love how it looks and the other day while thinking about what to wear I decided to do my own version of colour blocking on my eyes :)I went for a bright blue (Urban Decay's Peace) all over the lid and tried to create a very definite and sharp eye shape with a bright pink (Barry M's 85 - Neon Pink) all around the edges.
To finish up I applied a strong black cat-eye liner and lots of mascara! Let me know what you think – Hope you’ve enjoyed!! x P.S I’ve reached 400 followers!!!
When I did my abstract nails the other day I was really in the mood for bright colours and that’s what prompted this little look – I also realised I’d never done a bright green make up look! I decided after finishing this look that I wanted to add some crazy long, exaggerated false lashes! I never wear false lashes but I just felt this look could deal with them and I love them :) I always went for very strong, thick black eyeliner just because for some reason I always think green can lack definition and on the few occasions I wear it I feel like I need something strong to balance it out!
Bright colours have been all over the catwalk this season and I really wanted to do a pretty colourful look the other day when the sun was shining so this is what I came up with :)When I did this I wasn’t expecting this to be wearable it was done to be a little bit editorial. But once I did this it was actually really pretty and kind of wearable, I’d definitely wear this with the colours a little bit more muted!Hope you like it!! x
