Another eye look today and this one has a little bit of sparkle added to it! It’s a bit more of a fun look, and I finally got to try out some glitter tears.
Here’s the products I used :
This look is mostly about blending and product placement. My tip for a good halo eye is to use your iris as a guide for where to put that central colour, which in my case was green.

Another lip look coming at you today, weirdly involving a lot of products from NYX Cosmetics. I really love NYX. Their makeup is professional quality but at affordable prices which strikes a great balance for people like me who are aspiring to go professional but don’t quite have the money to stock up with more expensive brands like ABH and MAC.
The products I used were :
From this you can see that nail art gems really aren’t just for nail art, in fact, they’re the perfect size for cute embellishments around the eyes or on the lips like I did today!

I’m giving my eyes a rest today so my skin can recover so I’ve gone back to my lips instead. This liquid lipstick is my new favourite, mostly because it actually smells like watermelon. Jeffree Star hit the nail on the head with his lipsticks (and is anyone else super excited for the Lip Ammunition range?).
The products I used were:
I’m all about using liquid eyeliner as lip liner. It works so well and means you can have super vibrant colours and even a few sparkles, hope you like it!

So we’ve had Ninja Turtle Mikey nails, now I bring to you an eye look inspired by none other than Michelangelo from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! This look is for nothing more than a little bit of fun, though I am considering going as Mikey for Halloween so this makeup could be making a reappearance.
The products I used were :
This is a really easy look to re-create. I started with dusting the brown shadow in my crease first as a transition shade, and then I packed the orange shadow over my lid. I dabbed some green into my inner corner before adding glitter on top of it. Then because Mikey is from a comic book, I went for some graphic liner before adding my lashes.
COWABUNGA!

Here we are two weeks in and I’ve gone for another simple look today using one of my favourite lipsticks.
The best thing about this lipstick (aside from the colour) is the price. I will forever love shopping at Makeup Revolution because the price and quality of their products is unbelievable. I think I actually paid £1 for this lipstick when I bought it. Crazy!
My two products for this look were:
Really simple but really pretty. I hope you like it.

Today I went for a quick and simple lip look, pairing together two lipsticks from my collection that I love because of how bright they are! (And of course there’s some glitter in there, this is me we’re talking about)
The products I used were :
I think this look is pretty self-explanatory. I just put each of the colours on each lip and dabbed some glitter on my cupids bow and along the bottom of bottom lip!
Hope you enjoy 😘

Today I decided to try my hand at creating a face chart from one of my favourite accounts on instagram @milk1422! It certainly wasn’t easy and I definitely know what I need to practice a little more, but that’s what this 100 Days challenge is all about. Hopefully I’ve done the design some justice.
The products I used were:
I’ll leave a link to the instagram where I found this face chart below. Take a look at all the others and some of the amazing artists who have recreated them.

Yesterday was Unicorns and today I’ve turned to Mermaids! I went on holiday earlier in the year and the girls who I went with and I decided to decorate our bum bags with gems, pearls and whatever else we desired. So I had all of these pearls left over and I’ve been waiting to do a look with them, so this will probably be the first of many.
The products I used were :
To create this look, I first did a simple gradient look from yellow in the inner corner to blue in the outer corner, but not blending too high above the crease. I then matched this on the lower lash line. Then, I took my white liquid liner and first started with a normal wing. Next, from the tip of the wing to just past the centre of the eye, I drew a thin line, following the edge of the eyeshadow. From where the blue started, I then drew a small curve and filled it in to connect the two wings together.
For some little added details, I drew three dots in a triangle with the white liquid liner in my inner corner and then I stuck on a white pearl with eyelash glue just beneath the beginning of my eyebrow before adding a dot each side of it. Mascara and lashes and done!
So how do you mermaid lovers feel about this look? Let me know!

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, or if you know me personally, you’ll know I have an obsession with unicorns, so much so that I actually have a unicorn tattooed on my arm. So, when I saw the latest eyeliner trend started by @glowawaymeg on instagram, I just had to give it a go, but by putting my own magical twist on it.
I have to admit, this was not as easy as I originally thought or planned, I had to redo the unicorn horn so many times, but alas, I finally perfected it and I’m so happy with how it turned out. I’ll do my best to explain how I did it, but I apologise in advance if it sounds confusing.
The list of products I used are as follows:
So in order to create this, (after I’d done my brows) I took a small angled brush and marked out where I wanted my cut crease to be with each colour of the rainbow. Then, I took a small packing brush and went along with each colour to add a bit more and blend it out to how I desired. I cleaned up the crease with concealer and then edged the cut crease in gold liquid liner.
Next, I drew the white wing. Then I took my gold liquid liner and used that to fill in the rest of where my eyeliner would usually be before pressing gold glitter into it before it dried. In order to make the wing look like a horn, I took a dotting tool and dipped it in the white liner and I added dots each side of the white to round it out, gradually bringing the dots closer to the centre as I reached the tip so that it would sort of taper. I then took some grey eyeshadow and created the ridges of the horn so that it look like a spiral.
For the helix part, I took my gold liner and created S shapes so that it looked like the gold glitter was wrapping around the horn.
On my lower lash line I copied the rainbow from the cut crease, and then in my inner corner I made a star out of white liquid liner. After some mascara and lashes, I was finally done.
Hopefully you can sort of make sense of this and I hope you like this as much as I do.

A nice, quick and easy one for you today. You just need three things as well as a steady hand!
So first I applied my lipstick as a base. In this case it was pink, but you can choose any colour that you like. I then took a matching pigment and a packing brush and dabbed that all over the lipstick to give it a shimmer. To finish, I went around the whole thing with white liquid liner. Make sure you take care to make it as even as you can but you can always clean up any mistakes with concealer if you need to!
Opinions? Any lip art looks you’d like to see me do?
