Pink Eyeshadow: How to wear it like a BOSS!

Pink eyeshadow can create a lot of weird illusions. Making you look as if you have conjunctivitis is one of them. Nobody wants to look like they have pinkeye.

The secret to avoiding this is to not put pink eyeshadow directly next to your lower waterline, which is the part of your eye that gets inflamed when you’re ill. I would say that in general, pink eyeshadow should go on the upper eyelid only. (but for you dare devils who want to wear is on the lower lash line... go for it!)

If you have pink eyeshadow and have absolutely no idea how to wear it, heres a simple look for you to follow...

This will look AMAZING on a night out, but daytime... not so much.

 If you would like to see how to create this look, keep on reading! 

Start off with a clean base, add an eyeshadow primer if you wish...
Using a pink eyeshadow and an angled makeup brush, map out your line. You want to follow the natural crease shape of the eye and wing out the sides...

Once you have created your guideline you can now start to build up the colour. Using the same angled brush, pull the colour from the line up towards your eyebrow, and blend. keep adding the colour until it as bold as you would like...



Once blended, its time to add your winged liner. For the liner i used a purple liquid eyeliner from MakeUpAcademy. But use whatever eyeliner you would prefer...

Once your eyeliner is nicely dry, add mascara. Now its time for the glitter!!
This glitter is from eBay, but use any silver holographic glitter you can get your hands on. Using a glitter adhesive (if you dont have glitter adhesive, a sticky lipgloss works just as well or eyelash glue for a more permanent application)
Dab the glitter to the inner corner of your eye and leave to set in place for about 30 seconds...

Last but not least, add some false lashes...



Voila!!

I hope you enjoyed this post! Go out and rock that pink eyeshadow!

Chrissy Teigen Sun Kissed Glow

Not ready to accept the fact that its no longer summer? Me neither. All the more reason to make the most of that post-holiday tan and go for a bronze goddess makeup look. Here I will be showing you how to recreate a sun kissed bronzed makeup look, inspired by Chrissy Teigen. 

Follow the steps below to copy Chrissy's makeup...

(For this, as my model I used my friend Anna who is naturally very tanned. If you have very fair skin like me, a fake tan is probably going to help this look work better for you.)

Apply a liquid foundation. Once dry, apply a cream highlighter down your nose, on your cheeks and anywhere you want to bring light. Add a setting powder afterwards to keep everything in place.Take a large fluffy bronzing brush and sweep your bronzer across the forehead, along the cheekbones and over the chin. A bronzer with a hint of shimmer will be best.Apply a matte brown eye shadow over the entire lid. Then, apply a shimmery gold/cream eye shadow along the crease and lash line.Draw a very thin line of  bronze/brown shadow across the upper lash line to act as an eye liner. Do not flick out at the edges. Do the same along the lower lash line and layer the bronze shadow in the outer V to create a more intense colour.For the lashes, you can use false lashes or you can simply apply several coats of mascara.Apply a nude lipstick and a shimmery gloss and finish by using a brow pencil to fill in your eyebrows.

And, you're done!

From Day To Night...

If you are like me and work late on saturday afternoons (pure hell) this cheats makeup will be perfect for you. There's nothing i hate more than coming home from work and having to rush to get ready for my night out. By just touching up your foundation slightly, changing your lipstick and adding a bold lip colour you can quickly go from a basic bitch to glam AF in seconds (literally) Today i was feeling daring and paired a shockingly pink eye liner with a purple lip, and im kinda obsessed with it. 

Below are pictures of the makeup i wore today...

Adding a bright colour along the lower lash line and changing your lip colour really does make a huge difference...

Glam in seconds!

Tanya Burr Lashes!!

After Tanya released her nail polish and lipsticks earlier last year, I was SO excited to see what she would do to widen her range. It was of course lashes! I have many friends who love to wear false lashes on a daily basis, and i always get jealous of how amazing they look, so im trying these out for a change. These lashes are SO lovely for every day use, and i cant wait to see what they look like. Tanya created six incredibly beautiful different styles, a pair to suit everyone! They are all so lovely, and HUGE bonus that they are so affordable too, picking up each pair for £5.49.  I was only able to find three pairs, but will definitely be on the hunt for the other three in my local superdrug! (I can see these becoming a slight obsession of mine)...

Below are the three pairs that i picked up, I LOVE THEM!!!

If anyone has any recommendations for natural daily lashes for me to try out, please leave a comment!
