Hallowe'en Look! The Evil Queen / Vampire

Hello guys! It's been so long since I've posted a look! I was going to leave it another day as I feel rotten but I couldn't do it! I need to post my first Hallowe'en look! (a little excited...)


So here's the first look for you guys, my version of an Evil Queen / Vampire Queen!

I put a post up a little while back featuring some of the looks I wanted to do for Hallowe'en this year, and this was one of them, however it was my first attempt/trial run! I don't usually do them, but I had some great ideas in my head and I wanted to get them out 'on paper'. I'm useless with drawings and face charts so it's really the only way for me to show what I'm thinking.

In my trial run I used purples instead of reds (only because that's the colour I wore that day!) however blood red was always what I visioned! When else do you get to wear red eyeshadow apart from on Hallowe'en? Lets make the most of it!

I started with my ELF primer (only £1.50 and I love it!) and NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk all over my eyelids where I knew I was going to apply colour. Then with a No.7 soft kohl eyeliner pencil in Black I followed the bone just above my crease to use this as the outline for my shadows.

Starting with the darkest colour I applied the red eyeshadows (all different shades from NYX, sorry I have no idea on names!) and then added my inner highlight colour which is from my Urban Decay Glinda Palette, called Illusion.

I used a matte white shadow as my brow highlight, from my Sleek Matts V2 palette and then, using a sharp, flat angled brush I used Blackout from Urban Decays Naked 2 palette, and went over the black outline. I LOVE this black! It's so pigmented! I then applied Benefit's They're Real mascara and my favourite Eylure Lashes and we're done! I could've made the overall look bigger, but I like when my eyes are closed you only get a glimpse of the red shadow. I might experiment with this in the future!

I hope you like my look! Please leave a comment below and let me know what you think, I love hearing from you and reply as soon as I can!

If you're going to recreate any of my looks PLEASE link me! I would love to see what people come up with!

Quick Tip: If you are going to try and recreate this look, make sure you use a soft, well sharpened eyeliner pencil! (UD 24/7 pencils are great for this) If its not soft or sharp enough, it will pull your skin and you won't be able to get a sharp line!

 

Hope you like! x

Halloween ideas!

Hey guys! I am soo excited that I'll be spending Hallowe'en in America this year!! I love Hallowe'en so I thought I might do a few Hallowe'en inspired looks! I've done a few practise runs so thought I'd show you a few things that will be coming up on my blog!

Dont forget to enter my blog here!

Red ombre lips! Perfect for Evil Queens or Vampires!

Werewolf! Obviously I would block out my brow but it's such a pain in the ass I only half attempted it! Some wolf-like contact lenses would be awesome with this look! I'm too scared to use them!

Pixie/ Fairy Look! Minus some awesome colorful lashes, bright eyeliner and glitter! And My Evil Queen/ Vampire look!

My Evil Queen / Vampire Inspired eye makeup! My favourite! I can't wait to do this one properly with some super intense raven-esque eyelashes!

 

So that's just a few of my ideas! I'll start doing them properly and hopefully get some blog posts out soon! I'm so excited for Hallowe'en! What are people going to be dressing up as?

Disney Series: Shere Khan from The Jungle Book!

Hey Guys, Here's another look from my Disney Collection!
I love doing this collection, it's really nice always finding ideas on what to do and getting inspiration. Whenever I go to sit down at my makeup table, if  I don't have a clear picture in my head of what I want to do, It usually goes horribly wrong!

This looked is based off the tiger from The Jungle Book, Shere Khan. I used to love watching this film as a kid but I haven't seen it in years! This was actually the second look I did from the Disney Series but I didn't like it! I've since redone it and simplified, which is sometimes so much more effective than over complicating things

Unless you're going to go OTT there's not a lot you can do with a tiger... haha I didn't want to do too much as I wanted it to be a wearable look, so I've kept it nice and simple and elongated the matte black eyeliner, for a cats eye look.

As always, the majority of the colours came from one of my Sleek palettes! This time the V1 mattes for a change! The first time I used this palette I found the colours quite chalky but that's to be expected from such bright pigment, however it doesn't seem to be the case any more. They blend beautifully and the colours are so vivid and rich! Can't explain how much I love these palettes!

For Shimmer in my inner corner, I added MAC's baby, it's cold outside eyeshadow, which was released within a christmas set last year, and I also used my BeautyUk palette which has some gorgeous burnt orange colours which really came in handy for creating beautiful shape and shadow.

My eyeliner is Collection 2000's waterproof liquid eyeliner and my lashes are called Hearbreaker by LetsGo (I think from the Blink+Go family?) 

And that's pretty much it!
If you used a more coral toned orange and brown eyeliner this would be a lovely summers day look!

DISNEY SERIES!

Hey Guys!
I've been going Disney crazy lately! My boyfriend keeps buying all the Disney DVD's and I'm made me remember just how much I love Disney!

So I've decided to do a series of some awesome Disney Characters! Mainly villains because they're pretty awesome! But I'm stuck on what Characters to do next!

Please comment and let me know if you have any ideas!!! It would be soo helpful and I'll give you a shout out on my post if I do the character you choose! :)

Please give me a comment, would be amazing!

Going to stick my first post up later today! x x x
