Tame those Brows!

A key look to my everyday face is clean and defined eyebrows. I probably get my eyebrows threaded 6 times a year, but most of the time i just work with the grown out brows, when I'm doing my make up. the technique I use is easy to re-create and gives you the same finished look as a threaded brow!

I have received a number of requests for a step by step guide on how to achieve this brow look. So as requested please see below my 6 page picture guide and if any of you re-create this look please leave comments to let me know how it went.

Enjoy! xxx

Her Sparkles Speak...

I bought my first pair of crystal strassed pumps early this year. While I was putting together concepts for my first official photoshoot, doing a crystals strassed lips look was at the top of my list! It took me about 50mins to complete this look using Swarovski flat multi colour and silver Crystals and I was really happy with the results.

Products used:

Rimmel Exaggerate full colour lip liner definer in 063

2true Eyeshadow Dazzlers in No. 6

Eyelure lash fix glue

Swarovski flat multi colour and silver Crystals

This a bold and dramatic look that can be used for an editorial shoot or for the Bold Makeupholic that not afraid to step outside the box!

The lady is a vamp!

One of the trending make up looks from this Fall was the 'Vampire look'. I watched countless Youtube videos to see different interpretations of this edgy look. A key feature to this is the rich lip colour, which is mainly in the Purple family. Two of my favorite lipsticks to achieve this are both from M.A.C cosmetics, satin lipstick in Cyber and Pro Longwear Lipcream in Soulfully Rich. These two colours are very similar but I personally prefer to use Soulfully Rich. The colour is bold and lasted  all day! I couldn't believe it! I only had to top up once and that was because I went for lunch at Cha Cha Moon which was beyond amazing! 

Below is my take on the Vampire look, which was also my first official photo shoot called 'Vamp Glam'.

Coral Shimmer....

This is from my first official make up shoot, for this look my aim was to achieve a look that could go from day to night with a darker lip colour. Colours of choice would be: M.A.C New York Apple or Darkside. Coral shimmer included one of my all time favourite blushers by M.A.C called: Format. This blusher glides on the skin so smoothly leaving a gorgeous shimmer effect which lasts all day (tried and tested)!
