Hello there! Well, it's been a while, hasn't it? I've been so busy with uni work and other things in my life that I just haven't had time to post! I do have a backlog of photos for post though, so hopefully I'll be back to my usual schedule.

Today I am showing you how I got this blue and purple eye look, so let's jump right in!

First of all I used Peach Smoothie by Makeup Geek as my first transition colour.

I then put Buon Fresco from the ABH Modern Renaissance Palette over top of this.

Then I put Lolita from the Nyx Hot Singles on top.

I tried to then put a bit of Fantasy by Colourpop right through my crease line, but I had forgotten how difficult it is to blend, so I wouldn't recommend doing this.

In order to try and soften that purple line, I used Passionate Purple from the Elf Loose Pigments.

I then put Coconut from Colourpop all over my lid.

To make the transition softer, I kept adding bits of the elf pigment and the Colourpop shadow, blending and packing until I was happy with the outcome. Then Input Solstice from Urban Decay on top of the Coconut shade to make a duochrome look.

I lightly smudged some of Nyx Karma Sutra on my lower lash line, but I wasn't too sure on it.

To highlight my inner corner and brow bone I used Hemisphere from the Sleek Solstice Highlighting Palette.

For my lips, I first rook Power by Nyx.

Then I put Solstice from Urban Decay on top!

And there we have it! I hope you enjoyed this look, and I will be posting more soon!

Hello!

So seeing as tomorrow is Valentine's Day, I thought I would do a makeup look for it!

This isn't my best post ever (and I've done some shocking ones) I haven't had any time to properly do a post, so I did this last night after I finished work. Because of this, I have only done the eyes (I'd had these eyebrows on all day btw that's why they look worse than normal). But I really wanted to do this post because I've had the idea for a while, so at least I tried ey?

ALSO my camera apparently hated me and did some awful focusing, but I've just accepted that this post is a bit of a car crash tbh.

Firstly, I used Makeup Geek Peach Smoothie in my crease.

Then I took Buon Fresco from the ABH Modern Renaissance Palette (spoiler: the rest of the eyeshadows are from this palette, it was practically MADE for Valentine's Day)

Then I used Love Letter a bit lower down in my crease.

I wanted to further deepen and intensify that look, so I ised Venetian Red as well.

Then on the outer corner and inner corner, as well as a connection in the crease between the two, I took Red Ochre, to make the start of a halo eye.

Then I put some NYX Face and Body Glitter in Rose right in the centre with some glue.

Then I put some of that Red Ochre shade all along my lower lash line.

To highlight my brow bone and inner corner, I used Vermeer.

And there you have it! I think this eye makeup isn't too difficult, especially because there's no eyeliner involved, so it eliminates the stress of that. But I think the colours are very appropriate for the occasion, and show some effort without being overly dramatic. I think this would look amazing with false lashes, but I need to get some new ones!

I hope you have a lovely Valentine's Day

Hello!

Welcome to my first makeup post of 2017! If you read my last post (check it out here) you will know that I haven't actually worn that much makeup so far this year haha! I actually did this look a couple of weeks back now, but I have been so busy with uni work that I just haven't been able to sit down and write the post until now!

First of all, I took Love Letter from the Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Palette and put it in my crease. I feel like this was such a bold colour to start with, but go big or go home!

Then I deepened this with a mix of Romance and Hold Me Tight from the Sleek Goodnight Sweetheart palette.

From the same Sleek palette, I used Love Is In The Air all over my lid.

I then used my Soap and Glory Supercat Eyeliner to make a wing.

I smudged some more of the combo of 2 Sleek colours on my lower lash line.

And on my lips, I used Charmed by NYX.

This is where I noticed one of my eyebrows looked a bit dodgy and tried to fix it... On my inner corner, I just used the highlight shade I wore that day. (I think it was the lilac shade from the Sleek Solstice Palette)

And there we have it! I think this is super easy, but also dramatic enough to make a bit of an impact! I hope you enjoyed this, and I'll see you in the next one <3
