A Touch of Blue

Here I have created quite a dramatic look by outlining the shape of the eyes with a black eyeliner, shading the upper lid with a copper eyeshadow and adding just a touch of blue along the lower lashes.

These colours combined together are great for making blue eyes pop.

Plum Cordial Lips

A bright lip colour is a great way to lift your everyday make-up look and is perfect to wear on these beautiful summer days.

The lip colour I used in these photos is one that I received as a freebie in the August 2014 edition of Cosmopolitan magazine called 'i - crayon' (Lip and Cheek Tint) by CID cosmetics in Plum Cordial.

I have never tried this brand before so after giving it a go I must admit I am very impressed! The colour is vibrant, long lasting and glides on the lips just like a balm, so easy to apply and very comfortable to wear. After looking through their website www.newcidcosmetics.com I can't wait to stock up on a few more colours and try out the rest of their products!

Vibrant Pastels

A spring pastel make-up look with a bit of a kick!

Beyonce Brit Awards Makeup

After watching the beautiful Beyonce perform on the Brit Awards last night I couldn't help but re-create her stunning emerald green eye make-up look. 

Ocean Blue

Another big trend for Spring 2013 make-up is blue eye liner and blue eye shadow. 

There are a variety of shades of blue such as navy, sapphire and turquoise which is why it's such a great colour to experiment with to accentuate your eyes. Blue eye-shadow can be perfectly matched with a light lipstick or gloss and soft pink cheeks to make your appearance look fresh and bright.

In these photos I have tried and tested my most recent purchase for my make-up kit which is the Revlon Photo Ready foundation. 

 I decided to purchase this foundation after reading such good reviews on how well it covers and the airbrushed effect it leaves on the skin whilst also looking amazing in photos. I must say I am very happy with the result it has definitely lived up to my expectations!

A Cocktail of Colour

Experimenting with colour and coming up with new ways to create bold and beautiful eyes is one of my favourite things when it comes to make-up. 

Bright eye shadow is a top trend for spring but instead of just wearing one block colour I've decided to mix things up a bit. Here I have used white, yellow, turquoise, navy blue and peach eye shadow finished with black gel liner and mascara. 

Happy New Year!

The new year is here which means time for some new make-up looks! 

I came across this particular look when browsing on pinterest for some inspiration and just couldn't wait to re-create it. 

I love dramatic make-up and experimenting with colour so you will find that this will be the theme in my next few blog posts so keep popping back and leave a comment to let me know what you think :)

Green Eyes

Bold, dramatic and slightly wicked! This look is all about the eyes and discovering the fabulous looks you can create with a bit of experimentation.

Get Blending!

This look is an example of how by picking just 3 different colours and blending them together, you can create bold and dramatic eyes with a professional finish.

Here I have used gold, plum and black eye shadow starting with the lightest colour in the corner of the eye and blending upwards and outwards with the darker shades. 

Using this technique with any colours of your choice you can create a look that matches your eye colour, outfit or even just the mood that your in that day.
