⭐️ GALACTIC CUTOUT TUTORIAL ⭐️

Hello Makeup Lovers!

So here it is, with the launch of my YouTube channel comes the launch of my assisting blog posts!

Today’s tutorial is a little take on the negative space trend I’ve seen going around on Instagram lately. I have lots of ideas for looks using this trend but this is the first one I came up with and decided to share.

You can watch my video here:

The full list of products is as follows:

I really hope you enjoy my tutorial. I am always open to tips on how to make my filming or instructions clearer so please feel free to leave some in the comments below. Also, if there are any looks you want to see me do, please leave those down below as well!

#100DaysOfMakeup : Day Twenty Three!

I was trying to think of some fall looks to add into my 100 Days challenge and I knew I wanted something with browns and golds, but also something a little arty. Weirdly, I found my inspiration on Snapchat and it came from the butterfly filter which definitely has to be my favourite. If you don’t know what it looks like, here’s a little picture for you:

And here’s the list of products I used :

This look was actually super easy to do, it didn’t take me long at all. And, not to blow my own trumpet, but that wing I did today is slaying!

If you have any ideas for me, please put them in the comments.

#100DaysOfMakeup : Day Twenty Two!

Today I really put my artistry skills to the test. It took a few strips of cello tape, a steady hand and a lot of concentration, but I have to say, the end result looks so much better than what I’d originally thought up in my head.

The products I used were:

I have to say, I’ve noticed my placement and blending skills have improved so much already. At the beginning of this, I wouldn’t have been able to get that precise stripe of white going through the centre of the purple. I also wouldn’t have been able to blend the black shadow so well. Just shows that practice really does make perfect!

Yet another eye look because I’m suffering from a rather horrible break out around my chin area, but this one draws inspiration from one of my favourite YouTubers (you should be familiar with her name by now) Mykie a.k.a Glam&Gore and her very first NYX Face Awards Challenge where she did and Aphrodite inspired look (I’ll post the video below).

The products I used were :

My top tip for this look would be that nail art brushes are your best friend. I find it very difficult to control the product on the brush that comes with liquid liners and nail art brushes are the perfect size to be able to do tiny details. You get so much more control not just with the design, but also the amount of product of the brush meaning there’s less mess!

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.

#100DaysOfMakeup : Day Eighteen!

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!

#100DaysOfMakeup : Day Seventeen!

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!

#100DaysOfMakeup : Day Fifteen!

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!

#100DaysOfMakeup : Day Fourteen!

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.

#100DaysOfMakeup : Day Thirteen!

So I don’t know how many of you know, but the Fifty Shades Darker Trailer released today! I’m such a huge fan of the franchise so I was super excited to watch it, and now that I have I can’t wait to see it. SO of course today’s look is inspired by the new trailer, which, if you haven’t seen, you can watch by clicking here.

Today’s products were:

The main thing to remember if you decide to recreate this look is to take your time and be delicate! I can safely say it took me a good fifteen minutes to get the graphic eyeliner the way I wanted it. I’d also recommend using cello tape to get a super sharp and clean edge for your eyeshadow.
