Cyborg Couture Makeup

One of the greatest parts of being a makeup artist is being able to change a blank face into something different- whether it be crazy, weird, beautiful or accentuating ones natural beauty...

This time around I was lucky enough to go full out CRAZY with my makeup skills as I was asked to do makeup for a cyborg/ futuristic couture shoot.

I had a tremendous amount of fun doing these makeup looks and would love to show you all some 'behind the scenes' of this crazy shoot.

QUICK TIP!

When doing someone else's makeup- always make sure you are presentable (wear professional clothing etc) & also there is no harm in going to some extra effort in doing your own makeup so that you show your professionalism and show off your skills so that the client will feel more at ease in that you know what you are doing when you do their makeup.

What's the latest trend?

Denim cutout jeans are back and chic as ever!

(I do not own the photos in this post)

Cut out jeans have always kind of been in fashion, but in 2015 they are more so than ever!

Not only are a there lot of people rocking this trend but a few celebrities are to:

Kendall Jenner

Kylie Jenner

Rita Ora

Selena Gomez

Gigi Hadid

I really love this trend and suggest that you go out and buy your own pair of cutout jeans- or even make your own! (I would love to make a DIY for this so make sure to follow if you want an update of when I do this :) )

SHOESday tuesday

hmmm.. What do you all think about a Shoe Crush Tuesday?

Well I've decided to start one because we all love shoes one way or another so why not dedicate them their own special day? ;)

Todays SHOEsday Tuesday is dedicated to... My brand new beautiful dr Martens 

(which were meant to be for christmas but I honestly could not wait) *guilty*

I am absolutely in love with these (even though they are painful to break in).

I even had to snapchat them..

Here is a closer look at the funky bright colour of them.

I hope you all enjoyed this post, and I will make sure I post more SHOESday Tuesday's of my all time favorite shoes! <3

Winter Favourites

Yay! Its finally that time of the year when Winter is starting to make an appearance again, so I decided to make a post on a few of my fashion winter favourites..

Firstly- A wooly jumper/ jersey is my go-to winter favourite.. They are super cute, unique and keep you nice and warm in this chilly weather. Personally I find a pair of black leggings or skinny jeans look best when wearing one of these large cozy jerseys.

Next- Cute warm scarves. Any scarf is really important in this cold weather as it's a great way to keep you warm, but I could not resist posting these adorable scarf/mittens with teddy faces on the ends. What better way to keep warm than a 2 in 1 mitten/scarf (with cuddly teddy faces for your hands!)?

Next- Beanies. Depending on what beanie you choose to wear, you can really make your winter outfit super cute/ chic. Beanies keep your head warm and also add a lot of character to your outfit which I love.

Lastly- its all about the shoes! Yes, I do tend to like to wear lace up boots/ closed wedge shoes etc. as well in this winter weather, but what better shoes to wear than uggs and wellington boots? When its not raining, uggs are basically like slippers that you can wear out in public that keep you super warm, and when it is raining, wellington boots keep your feet dry. The wellington boots that I chose have a really nice pattern on them as well as a little heel to keep stylish.

Thank you for reading my top winter fashion favourites, I hope you enjoyed and got some ideas for the cold winter season!

Makeup Journey

Hi Everyone! Sorry I haven't blogged in a while, been a busy few weeks!

I've been busy with my Makeup and special Effects course for a while now but haven't posted much about what Ive done yet ,so I'm going to start from the beginning :)

LESSON 1

The first lesson we focused on was the 'no-makeup-makeup' look. This is a look to wear day to day that appears to be natural even though you are still wearing some coverage.

BEFORE

AFTER

So thats what we did for week one- stay tuned to see the next looks I have been doing which includes the more exciting runway and special effects makeup :D

Tip: Eyeshadow that goes with your Eye Colour

Many people find it challenging to find an eyeshadow colour that suites their eyes or that can really make their eye colour pop. There are many ways people say you can find this out but I find the best way is to do it scientifically with a colour wheel.

Basically, to work out your best suited shadow, you just need to find your eye colour on the colour chart and look at its complementary colour (the colour that is opposite your eye colour on the wheel.)

 eg.) Opposite green on the chart is Magenta so that is the colour that will make green eyes stand out.

Here is a more basic chart to show you how complementary colours work. 

And if you really are stuck and you don't know what colour to use...go for purple!

 Purple and violet shades work well with every eye colour :)

Also it is advised that you stay away from eyeshadow colours that are the same as your eyes, as this will prevent your eyes from standing out and getting that dramatic colour pop.

 (if you have light green eyes stay away from light green shades but you still can use darker green shades..)

I hope these tips were useful! Let me know if they helped.

Makeup: Bridal Look

I haven't posted much on what I have been up to with my makeup course yet, so I thought I could show you all some of the looks that I have learnt to do so far :)

For today- this is the Bridal Makeup look:

The key to this look is to make it not too dramatic (more on the natural side) and make it appear Classic. A well covered up face with light smokey eyes, blush on the apples of your cheeks and natural lips (tip: try to stay away from red lipstick) is key to this look.

Also add some false lashes for some extra lash beauty :)

I hope you enjoyed this bridal make-up look!

Stay tuned to see more make-up artistry and special effects looks or Outfit/ fashion ideas <3
