Dramatic Metallic Eyes & Ombre Lips

So today I finished my assessment and so I treated myself to doing my makeup! It's quite dramatic and I did ombre lips for the first time which I quite like :) 

Sadly the eyeshadow didn't show up as well as it did in real life, the shadow I used was metallic with green/brown shimmer but oh well! 

Here's some pictures:

And then I tried it out with a nude pink lip which I thought looked quite nice too :) 

 Hope you liked it!

50+ Natural Makeup Look

A while ago my mum was going out for dinner and she wanted a flattering makeup look! So here it is :)

Btw this was taken with my old camera so the quality sucks just a little.

I find get many pictures but I hope you liked it :)

Boho Style Makeup Look

So today I did my makeup! And I decided to do something a bit more boho (hence the messy braid I'm rocking!) and I think I actually love this look, I've been really liking winged eye shadow these days, it's so much more natural and messy that eyeliner :) 

Hope you like it!

Here's some pictures:

Vibrant Blue Makeup Look (2013)

Another age old makeup look when I didn't even own a good foundation! This one is just an eye makeup look and it is old but I thought I should still post it :)

Here's some pictures:

Spring Fairy Makeup Look

So the other day I needed to dress up and I decided to go as a fairy (easiest last minute costume idea ever!) and of course I took advantage of the chance to do fun makeup! I just wish I had had fake lashes to top this whole look off!

Here's some pictures:

(These pictures were taken with my old camera so they're not showing as well as my newer looks which is sad but I thought I should post them anyway!)

Christmas Makeup (2013)

On Christmas (yes last year) I did my sisters makeup and I just found the pictures now! I actually really love this look on her, very Christmas-ee and it compliments her eye shape and colour perfectly!

Bridal Makeup Look

So a while back I took a 4 day beauty course at a local polytechnic and I LOVED it! This is definitely what I want to spend every waking moment of the rest of my life doing :)

We had to do makeup on our fellow students so I decided to do a bridal makeup! 

Here's some pictures:

My absolute favourite part of my life so far is when all the girls taking the course turned and looked at my client once I was done and kept asking how I did this or telling me that she looked flawless! And they kept saying that the whole class! I've never had a compliment like that before, I felt like crying with pride!

Bronzed Prom Makeup Look

So I did my makeup today! And I decided to do a prom inspired look which trend out to be very similar to the makeup look I went for for formal :) 

I love this look, the glowy skin is my favourite part!

Here's some pictures:

Hope you like it!

Vampire Fall Inspired Makeup Look

So today I did my makeup again and this time I was aiming for something a little more.. Vampire-ish

And I think I achieved that pretty well, I'm sad that the blush that I used didn't show very well on camera, it was a more mauve purple blush with a light shimmer- my favourite :)

Here's some pictures: 

My attempt at embracing the smouldering sexy vampire look ^ 

Yeah so that's what I did! 

I wanted this look to be wearable and based off of fall and I'm happy with what came out, I'm thinking I want to start trying some more dramatic makeup looks like I use to but my only worry is that all my makeup isn't that great, so the pigment in my eye shadows isnt very good but hopefully by the end of the year that'll change! I'm saving all my money so that I can invest in some good quality products! Soooooon! :D

Natural Makeup Look (Kylie Jenner Inspired)

So today I had the day off school and I decided to do my makeup! I recently got the Smashbox Studio Skin foundation and I absolutely love it! It really is an amazing foundation.

 

Here's some more pictures :)

 

I also decided to try a red lip with this makeup as a day to night transition (more pictures!)

 

 

So proud of this look :)

Simple spring makeup (tutorial)

So yesterday was Easter and I felt like putting some effort into my appearance and use the colourful day as an excuse to be a bit colourful myself 😁

So this look basically consisted of glowy cheeks and natural eyes with a little pop of blue/ purple on the lower lash line. I decided to keep this look very simple because I wasn't doing anything that was worth dressing up for but I still wanted to have a bit of fun!

(This picture isn't too great but it gets the point across of what I did on my eye lids.) 

 First I patted on a light pink/peach colour onto the lid, then I put a light ash brown into the crease, before finally putting a darker brown on the outer v of my eyes. I then pushed a black gel liner into my top lash line, keeping it light and very close to the lash line so it would be more natural looking. I flicked out my eyeliner a little before adding a highlight colour to my inner corners. 

 

For under my eyes I simply pressed a blue eyeshadow into my lower lash line with a small dense eyeshadow brush, I added a little purple to the middle of it but this doesn't really show on my camera so it mostly looks blue.

For my skin I used a bb cream and some concealer, I contoured lightly and then added my favourite mineral blush from elf in the colour bliss (I've had many compliments when I've been wearing this😊.) I then just applied a lip balm because I wasn't feeling in the mood to wear lip colour even though I probably should have cause my lips look quite pale!

 But oh well!

I hope this was helpful! 

This was my first time explaining my makeup look so I hope I did an above average job at it 😊

Thanks,

Holly 😁 

Snake inspired Eye Makeup

Tonight I was messing about with my day makeup I had worn, I had used a navy green for once, hoping to trick my eyes into looking greener (I like to think it worked.) But when I got home I decided to make my day makeup more intense. I was inspired by the scales of a snake :)

My face makeup is not done here so please excuse the uneven skin tone and shininess :)
