#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!

#100DaysOfMakeup : Day Twenty One!
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 Nineteen!
Back to eyes today and I’ve gone for a really simple look using my favourite eyeshadow palette. I also played around a bit with my eyeliner to come up with this kind of yin-yang monochrome type look.
The products I used were:
This look is really just a simple case of pairing opposites. Wherever there’s black eyeshadow goes white liner and vice versa. I also used some cello tape for a super sharp winged edge.

#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 Sixteen!
Calling anyone with a sweet tooth for this look. This one is inspired by my favourite flavour of cake, cupcake and Oreo; Red Velvet.
The products I used were:
For this one, it was kind of like doing a cut crease. I used a deep burgundy in my crease and then used concealer to clean up the lid. I then left a little gap and packed red shadow onto my lid, creating a small wing at the outer corner. I filled in that gap with white liquid liner and then got a little creative with it!
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.
