Blogmas Day 10: Make-Up; Retro Christmas

❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄

Okay so I thought I'd do a simple retro style Christmas themed make-up today - its super simple and easy to achieve so nothing too complicated! 

 I used my new Scandaleyes Mascara, my big eyeshadow palette using the Shimmery Gold, Pine Green Shimmer and Ruby Red eyeshadow. I also use my Rimmel 'Glam Ice' white eyeshadow as a base! I use my Victoria Jackson eyeliner in black, my rimmel lip liner in red dynamite and my Barry M lipstick in shade 158 (a red with a pink undertone). And last but not least my Barry M glitter liner in Gold!

Step 1 Prepare your Face
First of all you just want to do your basic face routine, such as spot creams, moisturisers and then foundation. I use my Rimmel 25 Hour liquid foundation and then use my Natural Collection pressed powder in 'warm' to finish my skin. I then put on my eye primer ready for the next step...

Step 2 Your Eyes
 You then want to start applying the white eye-shadow as a base coat, and then blend till this is only slightly visible. I then begin with adding the gold (the one in the middle of the picture!) into the corner of my eye and leave to blend later. I then go ahead and add my red eye-shadow the rest of my eye leaving a tiny gap between the gold and red to then blend together. I recommend blending from the corner of your eye outwards, this just makes sure the red doesn't go into the gold. After blending I take a thin eye-shadow brush and use the shimmery green eye-shadow (much like the colour of a Christmas tree) into the crease of my eye and blend. I then add a thin line of winged eye-liner as close and as thin as possible for a minimal effect on your eye. don't worry if its too messy just try to keep the line as straight as possible. Then you can use the glitter eye-liner on top for a super cute Christmas effect!

Step 3 Your Lips

I use my Rimmel lip liner in 'Red Dynamite' and make my cupids bow super emphasised. I take the lines just above my natural lip line just for a super effect. I then colour the rest of my lips in and add my Barry M Lipstick.. And then you are done!!

Well I hope that was simple enough!

15 days till Christmas!

Lots of Love

OOTW; Crazy Busy!

Hello! Sorry my post is so late, I had to come up with something quick so I decided to just feature the outfit I'm wearing today - I've been super busy! This outfit I chose at 5am this morning, half asleep. I've literally been in the studio today and didn't have time to photograph my outfit for my acoustic gig tonight! Thankfully my time slot has been put back as the main band still aren't here yet! (Thank god!) I don't go on till 8.45pm now, so its given me just enough time to post this up!

I'm also not wearing any make-up today and I've pinned all my hair back! My outfit for my gig is very different, my hair will just be naturally wavy and I'm wearing a plain white dress to convey sincerity in the songs I'm singing!

Sorry this post is super rushed! I promise next weeks will be much much better!

Lots of Love
