Hey there and Happy Halloween weekend! Today I have a look that was inspired by pumpkins! I love pumpkin carving and I'm going to be carving on this weekend and I'm super excited!!

As expected, this is an orange look, and I used my new Milani eyeshadow, which I love! I'm definitely going to buy some more at some point.

I hope you enjoy this and that you're feeling super spooky this weekend!

First of all I used Peach Smoothie from Makeup Geek as my transition colour because it's such a light shade.

Then I used Substitute For Love from the Zoeva Cocoa Blend palette just a little bit below this to add some depth.

To brighten the orange tones, I put LOL by NYX all through the crease.

On my lid I put Bella Mandarin all over and blended it up into the LOL shade.

With a thick pencil brush I used Faint from the Naked Basics palette.

On the outer corner, up along the tape so it creates a sharp line, I blended in Beans Are White.

I did a really long wing because as you shall see...

I put 4 round face glitters from PS from Primark. You can always do this with eyeliner to create little dots, but I had these so I decided I'd use them!

I then blended Faint along my lower lashline.

And there we are!

On my lips I used one of the new NYX Liquid Suede's in Alien, it's a gorgeous black, I love it! (we all know I love them anyway haha)

I hope you enjoyed this post, and that it's got you in the mood for Halloween! This is obviously a more wearable look, but I will be doing a few looks over the weekend, one of them being my look for my costume, so keep an eye out!

Hello! Today I have a look that was inspired by something I saw on Pinterest (I'll leave the link here). I fell in love with the look, and I wanted to give it a try for myself. The difference with my look is that I didn't use an orange tone as my transition because I wanted this to be a pure purple look.

First of all, I used Break Me Up from the Makeup Revolution Death By Chocolate palette in my crease and brought it quite high up. I just ordered the Vice palette in this range, so keep your eyes out for a post on that, and I'm super excited because the packaging is black!!!

Then I took Kiko Infinity Clics in 246 and smudged this along my crease too, slightly lower than the first colour.

Then I used Devour me from the palette and just blended all of the colours together, making sure everything mixed really well.

I took Passionate Purple which is a loose pigment from ELF, and I packed this all over my eyelid.

I kep packing and blending out with more of the shade Devour me until I got where I wanted to.

Then I took Urban Decay Moondust in Solstice on a wet brush and I packed this on top, taking my time to make sure every part of my lid was covered. I absolutely love the diversity of this eyeshadow, it changes when it's ontop of different colours, but is also beautiful in its own right, I definitely recommend it!

Then I put eyeliner in my waterline, and took more of that ELF pigment and ran it along my lower lash line.

Then I added mascara and falsies and I was done!

On my lips I used Makeup Revolution Velvet Black Heart.

I hope you enjoyed this post, and I'll see you next time!

Hello!

Today I am bringing you a post inspired by the 60s/70s. I am completely obsessed with this era, my wardrobe is even begining to show it haha. But the makeup was stunning from the time, and I wanted to give it a go myself. This is literally the second time I have ever done a cut crease, so please give me some slack as I am still learning!

I hope you enjoy!

First of all, I used NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk all over my lid and set with a white powder

I took Naked 2 from the Naked Basics palette in my crease.

Then I took Faint from the same palette to deepen it up a bit.

On a small angled brush, I took Crave from the same palette and started carving out my crease. Because I'm still learning, I followed my actual crease line, instead of making a new one.

Then I blended it out.

And then I kept adding and blending until I was happy. I also took the colour Faint again to fade it out a bit.

Then I added ze eyeliner.

After I'd put the rest of my face on (normal routine, check it out here), I put the NYX Jumbo Pencil onto my waterline.

Then I sketched out a black line underneath this with the Essence kohl pencil in Black.

Once I was happy with that, I went over it with my Collection Felt Liner.

Then I drew little "fake lashes" on my lower lash line under that black line.

Once I added lashes on the top, and mascara on the bottom, it looked kinda cool.

But when I decided to go out, I took those fake lash dots off, I don't know, I don't have the confidence quite yet to go out with it, but I think the look is just as nice without.

On my lips, I used Kiko 14 and over the top, a L'Oreal shade in Silencio.

I hope you liked this look! I'm super into the whole 60s/70s thing right now, so I might do a few more looks inspired by that era!
