My Top 13 Makeup Tips!

Hello Everyone!!
I know I've been a bit M.I.A but I'm back now with another post for you all.
When i was just starting out with makeup i was always looking for really useful makeup tips but back then the Internet wasn't as big as it is now so i had to learn myself along the way so here are the I have found the most useful...

Tip Number 1:

If you want a sharp line on the outside edge of your eyeshadow just use a strip of sellotape and carefully stick to the edge of your eye, apply your eye makeup as normal and then gently peel off the tape and you are left with a dead straight line, this also works with liquid eyeliner!

Tip Number 2:

If you have hooded eyes then extend your crease colour up a little bit and smoke out to make the effect of a crease.

Tip Number 3:
To get the fullest effect of your under eye concealer apply in a triangle shape under your eye, then blend with a makeup sponge and your under eyes will look flawless!

Tip Number 4:

Apply white eyeliner to your water line to make your eyes appear bigger and more awake.


Tip Number 5: 

Always use a primer as a makeup base, this will help you to get the fullest out of your products and it increases pigmentation so a little bit of product will go a very long way!

Tip Number 6:

Apply some light shimmery eyeshadow to the inner corner of your eye, this will make your eyes look brighter, more awake and give you a little bit of extra distance between your eyes.

Tip Number 7:

For fuller looking eyelashes, apply one coat of mascara and let it dry completely, then add another coat, this will darken, widen and elongate your eyelashes.

Tip Number 8:

Make sure you know your eye shape to ensure that you can use your eye products to their fullest potential.

Tip Number 9:

The photos don't do this one much justice but trust me it works! If you want your eyebrows to look bolder take an angled brush and some concealer then draw around the edge of your eyebrows and carefully blend out.


Tip Number 10:

Always blend your foundation down your neck and sometimes chest if necessary, this will help you to avoid tide lines and will make a slightly darker foundation look more natural.

Tip Number 11:

Apply highlighter to your cupids bow to make your lips appear fuller.

Tip Number 12:

When you want natural looking bigger lips use a lip liner a couple of shades darker than your lipstick and draw slightly outside of the line, however do not extend your lip over your cupids bow as this will make your drawn on lips look more obvious.

Tip Number 13:

Always apply your makeup up in a natural light, if you apply your make up in artificial light the when you step outside your make up may look too bold or too dark so by using natural light you will be able to properly see how much or how little make up you need to use.


And that's all the tips I have for now, I'm sure i have more but I just can't remember them at the minute haha. If you have used any of these tips then leave a comment below telling me how they worked out for you! and i will be back next week with another post. Thanks for reading! ☺♡

How I Take Care Of My Eyebrows

Hello everyone!

Eyebrows frame your face and can completely change how you look so it is very important to keep them in tact! So today I'm showing you how I maintain my eyebrows. I have always done my eyebrows myself. I taught myself how to do them many moons ago, however if your just starting to shape or re shape your eyebrows I suggest that you should consider getting them done by a professional just for the first time so that you can get the right shape for your face shape without all of the embarrassing eyebrow malfunctions, unfortunately I had to learn this the hard way and have been at the brunt of many an eyebrow disaster but I think I have now finally found a shape that I am happy with. So this is how I do my eyebrows.   

You Will Need:

• Tweezers
• Nail Scissors
• Spoolie
• Vaseline/ Petroleum Jelly
• Cotton Wool
• Make Up Remover
• Baby Wipes
• Eyebrow Tint Kit
• A close up mirror

Step 1 :

Soak your cotton wool with makeup remover. I'm using Pixi Glow Tonic, which I know isn't a make up remover but it does the job. Use the soaked cotton wool to remove any makeup on or around your eyebrow so that you are working on a clean surface and can see exactly what hairs you need to remove.

Step 2:
Take your tweezers and pluck out any hairs that are on the outside of your eyebrow until they are all gone and your eyebrow area looks smooth and tidy.

Step 3:
You will now need to take your spoolie and comb your eyebrow hairs upward and trim any hairs that stick up over the bold shape of your eyebrow with your nail scissors so that your eyebrows look neat and not wild with hairs sticking out everywhere, this will also make your eyebrow look bolder. Then go in with your tweezers again and remove any hairs that look out of place after trimming.

Step 4:
Apply some Vaseline around your eyebrow, making sure not to get any on the eyebrow itself. This is so that the tint doesn't darken any skin or hairs around the eyebrows. 

Step 5:
To tint my eyebrows I use 'Eyelure Pro-Brow dybrow' Kit in the shade 'brown'.
I take the colour and squeeze 2 cm of the product into the little plastic case it comes in and stir that into 5 drops of the activator.

Step 6:
Take the spoolie that comes with the kit and generously scoop some colour onto the bristles, neatly distribute the product through the eyebrows by just combing the spoolie through the hairs.

Step 7:
Take a baby wipe and neatly wipe off any excess product just to make sure that none of your skin gets coloured making sure not to remove any product from the eyebrow itself. Leave this colour to develop for 15 Min's ( it doesn't advise you to leave it this long in the instructions but i find that the time they said to use didn't make much of a difference to my natural colour.) develop time will vary from person to person so you may have to play around with the timings until you find a colour you're happy with.

Step 8:
Once the 15 minutes is up, remove all of the product with a baby wipe and then thoroughly wash them with soap and water to ensure all of the colour is properly removed.

Step 9:
Finish up by moisturising the eyebrow area to soothe any inflammation.

And that's it you're all done and you can enjoy your stunning eyebrows.
