Lip Art Tutorial: Abbey Dawn WTH heel Inspired

I'm here to share with you the tutorial for this lip art that is inspired by my Abbey Dawn WTH heels. I love the spikes and the hot pink colour, so I decided to honour them with some lip art that is as crazy as the pumps themselves.

I used some of my favourite pink products, such as Coloured Raine Intimidate lipstick that I topped with Sugarpill Birthday Girl Chromalust and Eye Kandy Cotton Candy Sprinkles for some extra twinkle.

And the pièce de rèsistance is the 6mm spikes from Born Pretty Store and you can get more nail art and makeup supplies here! And for a special present from me and Born Pretty, use the code "MIHW10" at checkout for 10% off your whole order at Born Pretty!

And if you love sparkly pigments, check out Sugarpill here, along with many other matte shadows & false eyelashes!

Tutorial

1. Apply Lip balm to prep your lips beforehand to provide a soft and supple canvas.
2. Apply M.A.C Prep & Prime Lip primer to smooth out your lips.
3. Line and fill in your lips with a hot pink lip pencil.
4. Apply a matching hot pink lipstick over your lips.
5. Pat a light pink sparkly pigment over lips with a clean finger.
6. Pat a pink duo chromatic glitter over the centre area of your lips.
7. Apply Duo Lash glue with the butt end of a tooth pick in evenly spaced dots over your lips.
8. Wait a little while until the glue is tacky so the spikes can stick.
9. Apply the 6mm Spikes from Born Pretty and hold them on for a few seconds until they stay.
10. Done!

Fancy Night out FOTD & OOTD

I was going out to a special Truffle dinner hosted by Philippe Mouchel at PM24 and wanted to add a little colour to the little black dress I was wearing.

Since my shoes and handbag (the only matching set I own ;-p) were hot pink, I decided to make that the star colour in my makeup. I used Sugarpill Dollipop on the lid over MAC paintstick in Processed Magenta and combined it with some the Sleek Candy Collection palette. Then for the lips, I applied my favourite pink lipstick of the moment, Coloured Raine Intimidate with a little MAC Nightmoth around the edges for definition.

Then for the black portion I blended Bulletproof, the matte black shade also from Sugarpill, over a base of Inglot matte gel eyeliner in #77 for extra depth. That gel liner works magnificently on the waterline and stays on so long it's amazing!

If you love an opaque, deep dark black or a matte hot pink as much as I do, check out Sugarpill here, along with many other gorgeous bright shadows!

Enjoy!

Thank you to Shiv for hosting the giveaway and Romwe for supplying my choice of any of their lovely leggings. These ones are so colourful and comfortable and look really great with a variety of outfits.

Neon Pink Alien Snow Bunny

I went to the awesome Steve Vai gig the other week and thought that I should dress up for the occasion. Steve Vai's solo guitar and instrumental music is whacky, outrageous, seductive and sensual and his album covers have many different styles some of which are alienesque. So I thought I'd bring out my Neon Pink Cyberdog space dress and then build a quick makeup look from there. 

I was in a rush and didn't have much time, so I went straight for my Sugarpill SweetHeart palette and smoked out my eyes with Dollipop over a base of MAC's Paint stick in Processed Magenta. I used Sugarpill Tako to blend out the lid and for a brow highlight I added a shiny white Inglot eyeshadow in AMC shine #35. I took the fabulous Dollipop all around the eye and used Inglot matte gel for a white waterline to make my eyes huge and damn does that eyeliner last all night! The lips had to be Coloured Raine Intimidate cause it matched everything else so well.

I even whipped out my hot pink Converse Hi tops and added some fluffy earmuffs as well as some white leggings (cause damn that dress is short) and my Karen Millen turtle neck (cause it was really cold) to my all white and pink whacky outfit. 

I was going for a weird alien look and with all the warm layers and earmuffs, I decided to add Snow Bunny to the title as if this alien species was used to a much warmer climate but just came in for the impressive stylings of Steve Vai and friends.

If you liked the magnificent pink eyeshadow I used for this pink smoky eye you can check out Sugarpill here, along with many other phenomenal bright and colourful eye shadows!

Summer Date Night Makeup

I whipped up this look for a fun summer night out and thought I'd share it with you. I went for bright flirty colours with a wide eyed look and a funky eyeliner shape created with Sugarpill Bulletproof eyeshadow.

For the lid, I blended together some of my favourite bright Sugarpill eyeshadows in Dollipop and Buttercupcake to make a gorgeous orange colour and still have the colours peak through either side of the crease. I added to that some Birthday Girl Chromalust loose shadow and some Inglot shades in to highlight the brow bone and tear duct, namely #111R which I've been loving lately and an old favourite in #496 DS.

I felt like going glossy and doing something special for the lips, so I used Coloured Raine Intimidate and patted Sugarpill Birthday Girl over them, then to add extra sparkle, I applied Benefit Back to the Fuchsia Ultra Shine lipgloss.

Feel free to click on the images for higher quality and better colour.
