fashion-down

My hair was in desperate need of a colour, I liked the colour that I had before but I've had red in my hair for so long that I wanted to go more violet-y. & it still has some red in it so I like that :D These pics were taken the day after so I made sure that I slept on my hair nicely haha. & to go with my new hair I wanted to do a more "special" look so yet again I tried a cut crease look (again haha) which I thought I had better try to name. Products: Nyx Cream Cheese JEP 88 Warm Palette - Blue circle lid - Orange crease - Purple Crease/ Outer V - Green eyeliner Black Bean JEP as a base for the e/l ELF Peachy keen Nyx Summer Love [?] & a bonus picture of our beautiful cat Mishka since I don't think I've posted one since she was a baby, when she was grey with black tips. She lost all her grey & turned orange/brown & black but is getting more greys again, hehe. This is how she likes to sleep =) I was going to post a few looks into this one, but...

 A little while ago now, I finally had gotten around to watching Marlena from Makeupgeek tv on youtubes' last cocktail inspired look.. (I'm sorry I forget the name now, Berry Mojitio?- I'll look it up later) but straight away I was inspired by the colour combo & placement. Well I guess you can't say this is inspired- I just wanted to try her tutorial exactly how she did it. & I love it!!  Please ignore my scrungy around-the-house shirt- I wish I changed it for the pix! Products:  Sorry if this is too hard to follow- LMK! Not my pic btw- borrowed from google.  Eyes: 120 palette- Red * Crease Purple * Blended out crease Blue * Outer- V, lower lashline Black* Lid, lower lashline Green * last 3rd of lid Yellow * Over lid colour to add sheen Orange * inner corner Black Bean JEP for eyeliner White Pearl to highlight Brushes- (Mug) Pointed crease brush for medium purple MAC 217 brush to blend out purple with pink (Mug) Deluxe outer-v brush for dark purple (Mug...

Hey everyone! Another quick post, no time to check in! In our backyard we have a lattice set up where we keep a bird bell (bird seed in the um shape of a bell lol). Quite often we have some Parots (or some sort of colourful bird haha- not too sure which species- maybe Lorikeets? ) that are usually in pairs but sometimes we can have up 5 at one time. Anyway... I have been meaning forever to use their gorgeous colours as inspiration. Hard to see how bright their colours are. These pics where taken before I did the rest of my makeup. So excuse the brows!   Picture borrowed from Google. Pink stars- mixed together on lid. White star-outer corner + undereye Orange stars- Mixed together for crease Green stars- mixed for above green Not pictured- Red for under eye, white for inner corner. Roo m for i m p rove m ent; Blending the blue & green together. I find the blues are hard to blend with the 120 palette. -Blending the red into the blue- I pictured it to look so much better but It didn...

Hey guys! Arghh I've been trying to stay out of this funk of not posting but I've been having trouble with my computer lately so Its been really gay, It's still not 100% better but I have to try to post sometime. In under 2 weeks now we leave for Phuket wooohoo cannot wait! Anyway here is a look I did a loong time ago but I never got around to posting it =/      Eyes~ Greens from the 88 Warm Palette NYX JEP Black Bean Face~ It was so long ago but I'm pretty sure it was ELF Fuchsia Fusion Blush Lips~ Nothing eek sorry about that Now onto the (quick) review: The 88 warm palette contains mostly neutral colours which are shimmery or matte. It consists of beautiful warm blues, greens, peach, gold, plum, brown, and quite a few highlighting colour's. I like the shimmery colours a lot more then the matte, I find the matte is very hard to go on, & the shimmery colours apply a lot more smoothly. Too bad most of the peachy shades are matte because I can't get them to g...

So yesterday a little girl came into work with her mum & recognized me from a few weeks ago as the fairy makeup girl hehe. I thought it was cute so I decided to name my look that.

So as I previously mentioned, I went to a festival this past weekend, and I wanted to do something that would kinda stand out more. Since I did the "normal" leopard print look a few weeks back I wanted to try a colourful one. I wanted the pinks to be more graduated but oh well, I also added some orange which kind of turned it into a sunset leopard but I was still happy with it. Thanks for looking!   Eyes~ 120 palette light pink first 1/4 of lid darker pink on middle of lid purple pink on outer half (sorry for bad descriptions, needa take a photo of it lol) at first i used the neon pink in the crease then i went over it with the orange NYX JEP in black bean for spots & liner Silver glitter liner in spots that didn't show up in pictures but it did in r/l (i swear!) CG lashblast fusion woah sorry for this being too big but the other ones kept coming out too small SO & I, with added zinc :) lol
