A Simple Bridal Look

 

Just wanted to share a bridal look with you all. I find that if bridal make-up is done well it will look effortless and simple, seamless and natural.  Yet to achieve bridal make-up that has the endurance to last throughout the day AND look perfect for the photos can be quite challenging.  One bit of advice I can give to those doing their own make-up is to practice everyday for as long as you need, let that be a month, two or one week beforehand.  This will be a huge day in your life so looking  your best is important, especially as we all hope to only do it once and once only...

A Simple Summer Smokey Look

Here is a look you can definitely try out this summer!  It's a smokey-eye that can be worn during the day or night and it suits summer well because of the gold and orange base it has.  It's super easy and flattering for all eye shapes and sizes, skin tones etc etc. 

The key products include:

 

This is the Maybelline Eye Studio Diamond Glow Quad - 022 Bronze Drama.  Layer the shadows on one by one starting with the left gold colour as a base.  Use the orange as a slight contour, then the khaki green to deepen the crease.  Finally use the end charcoal colour to smoke it out!  Easy!

On the lips I'm using GOSH's Light Lightn' Shine Lipglaze in 01.  It's a subtly shimmery lip gloss and gives a nice shine to the lips!

 

I've also used Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation in True Ivory.  This is a great drugstore foundation, perfect for the summer because it's quite light but gives decent coverage.  It's easy to blend, good for sensitive skin and comes in great packaging.  Nothing I don't love about this!

Inspired: Little Red Riding Hood

Recently I went to my best friend's and his brother's joint birthday party and we were told to dress up!  Eeek, I personally have a little phobia of dressing up and masks (I know, strange) but I I decided to embrace it!  I went as Little Red Riding Hood but I gave her a more grown up twist.  Tell me what you think about the look and the video for this shall be up on my Youtube page soon!
