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.

one coat of mascara

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

How to Make Bonfire Night/ Camping Cupcakes!

Hello Everybody!
So... Its bonfire night already?! Where has the time gone? I am throwing a little firework party so i thought some little bonfire cupcake would be perfect and these cupcakes don't have to just be for bonfire night these would totally fit in with camping too! Lets get started!

You Will Need:
225g caster sugar
225g butter
4 medium eggs
2tbs drinking chocolate
2tbs water
225g self raising flour 
ready to use frosting
orange food colouring
mini marshmallows 
match makers
edible glitter (optional
cupcake cases
cupcake tin

Step 1:
preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius.

Step 2:

Whisk together your butter and caster sugar until you have a light and fluffy consistency, This time I am using an electric whisker just because i was a little bit short for time and this will combine you mixture super fast.


Step 3:

Next is time to add the eggs so, take one egg and crack into your mixture being very careful not to get any shell into your mixture and whisk again with your electric mixer, you can also whisk by hand it will just take a little longer. You want to mix in one egg at a time so that your mixture doesn't get too wet and curdle, if this does happen don't worry because we will be adding flour later which usually fixes the curdling but if it doesn't just keep adding a little more flour until the mixture fully combines.

Step 4:

After that, it is time to make your mixture deliciously chocolatey, for this you will need to mix together two tbs on drinking chocolate or cocoa powder which ever one you prefer, and mix in the 2tbs of water until you get a thick creamy consistency, if your mixture is too runny add more powder and if it is too thick add more water, you will then pant to pour the chocolate into your mixture and whisk in as well.

Step5:

Now pour in half of your flower and slowly fold into your mixture with a metal spoon in the figure of eight once the flour has completely combined add the other half and repeat.

Step 6:

Put your cake cases into your cupcake tin and spoon in a generous amount of your mixture, then pop a mini marshmallow into the centre and cover with another small dollop of mixture. Repeat until all of your cases are full, the pop into the oven and bake for 15 minutes.

Step 7:

Whilst your cakes are baking its time to colour the icing. Empty out the contents of your ready to use icing into a bowl and pour in some orange for colouring until you get a colour you are happy with, the place to bowl into the fridge to harden it up a little bit for piping later.

Step 8:

After the icing has been placed into the fridge, take your match makers and empty the entire contents and chop into smaller sticks to look like little logs, once you have done this also place it into the fridge so they don't melt.

Step 9:

once your cakes are done, take them out of the oven. If they look a bit gooey on top don't worry, its just the melted marshmallow. Now its time for the fun part, decorating! Get out your open star nozzle and place into a piping bag, if your piping bag is not pre cut you will want to put it too. Then plop your icing into the piping bag and twist the top to push the icing town to the bottom of the bag (i forgot to take a picture of this, sorry)

then starting on the outside of the cupcake start to draw a circle and gradually swirl it into the middle and pull up to get a high peak.

Step 10:

Take your pre cut match makers and create a pentagon shape around the edge of your cupcake, then take some more match makers and place them between the gaps of the other match makers to look as though they are logs around a fire.

Step 11:

Add a mini marshmallow to the top of the icing to look like a roasting marshmallow and sprinkle with some edible glitter.

For those of you that don't like a lot of icing on your cupcake you can just to a smaller dollop of icing in the middle of the cupcake and just apply one layer of match makers and it will still look just as cute!

And that's it you're all done and now you can demolish your delicious cupcakes!
