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.

two coats of mascara




















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! ☺♡

Autumnal makeup look!

Hello Everybody!

Today I am going to be showing you my favourite autumnal makeup look.
I think autumn makeup is my favourite because i just love the warm and berry colours.
so lets get to it!


















Step 1
Apply your favourite concealer to any ares you think may need it, I like to apply mine under the eyes and on any red spots i may have, i then blend with a make up sponge.















Step 2
Now apply your favourite foundation, I am using the Rimmel Stay Matte foundation because it lasts all day and it has a matte finish so you don't need to powder throughout the day
because it also never goes shiny!


Step 3
Next is eyebrows, for this i am using the Kylie Jenner eyeliner brush because i love how precise it is for my eyebrows, i am also using the smashbox full exposure pallet and i am using the matte brown shade just because its a perfect colour for my skin tone and doesn't look too dark, although for this look you are going to want your eyebrows to look fairly bold to match the bold lips.


Step 4
Now add some brow gel to hold your brows in place, this also makes the hairs look more defined as you can see in the photo my right eyebrow has the gel and my left doesn't and you can really tell the difference, i am using the soap and glory brow gel.




















Step 5
I am going to do a rose gold eye look so to achieve this i am going to be using the Kylie Jenner eyeshadow in the colour rose gold and i am just applying these to the lid using a flat eyeshadow brush.





















In the crease i am using the clinique strawberry fudge duo but only the brown shade, apply a small amount on a fluffy eye brush and blend through the crease, then take a smaller fluffy brush and the the same colour under the bottom waterline and that's it for the eyeshadow! so easy.





Step 6:
Take an eyelash curler and curl your lashes, then apply a few thick coasts of mascara, you can use false eyelashes to if you want but i didn't just because i don't want my eyes to look really bold, which is also the reason i haven't applied liquid liner.

Step 7
Apply bronzer under your cheek bones, on your temples and the sides of your forehead to give your skin a glowey bronzed look, this will also make your face appear more chiseled and defined.



















Step 8
Now apply a rose gold blusher to your cheeks, this will really help the rose gold on your eyes pop! this blush i am using is by sleek in the shade rose gold.






















Step 9 
Apply some high light to your cheeks again in a pink colour, i am using the urban decay highlight i the shade fire ball. I used flash in this picture so you could see just how pretty this highlight is in the light.










Step 10
Apply a dark berry lipstick, i am using the mac Selena range in the shade dreaming of you.


And that's it you're done!! i hope you enjoyed this blog post! feel free to leave a comment below! thank you so much for reading! :) <3

Creepy Doll Makeup!

Hello Everybody!
Seeing as Halloween is drawing closer and closer I thought it would be a good idea to show you guys another makeup tutorial to help you decide what to do if you are undecided with your costume yet! So this week I thought I would go down the creepy doll road because I don't see many people dress as this for Halloween so lets get started!

Step 1:

















To begin with you are going to want to use a creme concealer that is a little lighter that your natural skin tone because you are going to be using a lighter foundation than normal. Apply the concealer over and imperfections and under your dark eyes to cover any dark circles because obviously dolls don't have dark circles. Then you will need to blend with a sponge until smooth.

Step 2:



















Apply a foundation that is lighter than your skin tone and one that is a little dewy to give you skin a porcelain effect, I also blended this with a sponge for fuller coverage and to make it look more packed on.

Step 3:


Apply concealer again to hi light and fully smooth out your complexion, again blend with a sponge.


Step 4:
Next powder very lightly just to set the foundation in place but not to make your foundation appear matte.

Step 5:










For the eyebrows use a shade you would normally use but apply it very lightly so that your eyebrows don't go super dark. I am using the shade Whiskey from the Urban Decay Smokey pallet, I then brushed it through with a spool and set in place with some eyebrow gel.

Step 6:














Apply a light shimmery eyeshadow to your eye lids. I am using the Urban Decay moon dust eyeshadow in the shade Cosmic. All of the colours should be shimmery so that your face has a shiny porcelain look.


Step 7:

For the crease I am using a light shimmery pink eyeshadow I am using cliniques strawberry fudge and lightly blending it through the crease for a pretty girly but faint touch of colour.

Step 8:







To give your eyes that large doll like look you will need a white and a black eyeliner, take the white eyeliner and apply on the top and bottom water line to make your eyes look larger and then to exaggerate it even more draw a larger water line and then taking your black eyeliner draw the edge of the water line where the natural waterline would be if that makes sense.

Step 9:














Next take some black liquid liner and draw a very small line with a little cat eye, this will help conceal the eyelashes we are about to apply.

Step 10:









Now take some whispy eyelashes. I am using macs number 35 lashes. Apply these to the very edge of your top lash line and add a little bit of mascara to join the falseys with your real lashes.

Step 11:

Taking the same liquid liner draw around the edge of the black kine you just did under your eyes and also draw on some false lashes.

Step 12:

Now apply some tapered eyelashes to the false bottom lash line you really give the effect of doll like eyes.


Step 13:















Next apply a heavy amount of pink blush to the apple of your cheeks, also use a shimmery one if you have one. I have used a blush by sleek in the shade rose gold.

Step 14:















I then took a medium pink lip liner and drew a hear shape on my lips that I had pre lightened with the same white lip liner as on the eyes.

Step 15:
















Then take a baby pink lipstick, I am using jeffree star liquid lipstick in the shade 714 and applied on the inside if the heart i just drew but extending the bottom line to create a baby lip shape, i then went over the white part with the same sponge i applied my foundation with the blend the edge of the lip in with the rest of the face.

Step 16:



















Lastly take some goldish hi light and apply heavily to the nose, chin, forehead and upper lip to again make the face appear porcelain. And that's it you are now ready to turn heads at your Halloween party!

If you have tried this look let me know how it went in the comments below or if you want to know how to do any other Halloween looks again leave a comment, feel free to share with your friends. I will see you in the next post, Thank you so much for reading :)<3
