FOTD - Kitten Liner and Red Lips

This is the look I've been going for recently having fallen in love with No7's Stay Perfect Lip Lacquer in Flamenco Red.  I haven't worn this look often in the past but I'm embracing new changes for a new season; this is classic and bold yet not overstated.   By keeping the eyes simple and the lip colour loud, my look is easy and quick to achieve but I can give off the impression that I make a lot more effort than I do! 

    

Products used:

Eyes: L'Oreal Carbon Gloss Liquid Eyeliner, Revlon Double Twist Mascara
Lips: No7 Stay Perfect Lip Lacquer [Flamenco Red], The Body Shop Cranberry Lip balm
Face: MeMeMe Flawless Concealer [Buttermilk], Make up Forever HD Foundation [#120], MAC MSF in Medium Deep (for face contouring), EYEKO Fat Balm [Strawberry]

 

Be Amazing,

Face of the day ~ Stone Grey Eyes

Not many will agree with a grey smoky eye for the day time but it doesn't bother me at all!  I personally feel so as long as you tone down the rest of your make up, keep it simple and yet sophisticated, a grey smoky eye in the morning shows a bit of bravery yet mystery.  So here is the Face of the day, I hope you enjoy this look as much as I did.

Superdrug “GET THE LOOK” Competition Prizes!! ~You need to see this!!

Before Christmas, Superdrug asked me to enter their Get the look competition and asked for a Christmas look.  I posted it up and this was the post.

Green Scarf Inspired Eye Shadow

At Christmas, one of my best friends presented me with this beautiful green scarf and I’ve loved wearing it whenever I go out.  Its a simple way to turns an outfit brighter without making others sick with shock.  So I was inspired to create an eye make-up look using a a mixture of greens and here is what I came up with.
Thanks for stopping by!  PS.  I know there’s a lot of pictures; yes I’m vain and I’m ever so slightly addicted to snapping a camera.  SNAP! (There’s actually more pictures on my computer…I just thought I’d say you any more pain!)
