GRWM Birthday Makeup ft Lit, Urban Decay & Dose of Colors

Well, here's me getting ready and going out for my birthday using some new stuff and some old favourites. I was still feeling the purple vibe and wanted to use some of my new birthday presents, plus my all time favourite glitter MAC 3D silver. I created this dramatic purple and silver halo eye with matte purple lips to go with my purple mood.

Monochrome Purple Smoky Eye Makeup ft Sugarpill & Urban Decay

Here's a monochromatic purple smoky eye look. Purple is one of my favourite colours to wear on both the eyes and lips and I think this tutorial can show you how to make a purple smoky eye look refined and well done, without losing any punch from the dramatic makeup, or losing the edge. 

Enjoy!

GRWM Godzilla Makeup Tutorial ft Sugarpill, Inglot & Girls With Attitude

I went to the new Godzilla movie and thought while I was at it I'd record a get ready with me tutorial. I based my makeup on Godzilla himself and used some green lizard-like colours from Sugarpill such as Subterranean, Absinthe and Lumi, along with some exotic eyeliner using Urban Decay Perversion and Inglot's ever smooth matte gel eyeliner.

I also tired these amazing false lashes that the gals from Girls with Attitude sent me and I instantly fell in love with them. They flare out at the edges to accentuate the cat eye liner and fit superbly, with easy application using the glue included in the box.

I also created some dark and glittery lips and you can check out the lip art tutorial when it comes out soon...

And if you are in need of awesome pigmented matte shadows or beautiful sparkly pigments check out Sugarpill here, along with many other gorgeous shadows & lashes!

Enjoy!

New Years Eve Makeup 2014

Here's my New Years Eve makeup for 2014 and I went all out big time with silver holographic glitter and a dramatic cut crease. I took the photos at the end of the night after falling asleep in my makeup unfortunately but it actually still looks pretty good.

I chose to go for my all time favourite glitter in MAC Reflects 3D Silver and used the best silver ever in Sugarpill Tiara. Then to match with the glitter best I chose Poison plum and Bulletproof in the crease with Inglot matte gel eyeliner in #77 to cut the crease and last quite well on the waterline.

I had to go for a purple lip with this glitter and crease look so my favourite purple lipstick is MAC Violetta and to give some sparkle to the lips I used Funtabulous Dazzleglass.

You have to go big for NYE and chunky holographic glitter really does is for me for the party festivities.

I have a short demo video for the glitter so you can see how sparkly and holographic it really is on YouTube here or you can scroll down and see the embedded video.

If you are in the mood for a solid silver and matte shadows that totally kick ass, check out Sugarpill here!

Enjoy!

Monsters U Sully Inspired Makeup

I recently watched Monsters Inc. in preparation for the new Monsters University movie and decided to wear this look to represent my Sully appreciation at the cinema!

 

Amazingly enough the Sugarpill shadow Mochi is an exact match for Sully's fur and I mixed together a few shades for the gorgeous purple spots he sports including Poison Plum, Urban Decay Fishnet, Inglot #441 and the purple from the Sleek Acid pallet for a neon tinge. I went for a natural brow highlight for once and used the lightest shade from the Inglot #101 Rainbow shadows and white gel liner on the waterline for a wide eyed look.

For the lips, I whipped out the ever fascinating and dreamy Coloured Raine Uncensored VVS LipSynch, which I won in an Instagram competition and I'm so glad I did! This lipstick is the perfect gothy light purple with a delightful tinge of grey to the lavender shade and if worn right can give you a stunning Corpse Bride look and I love that! However for this light and playful look, I used VVS LipSynch to let the lip colour melt in and match with the rest of the makeup but not overpower it. You can purchase the lipsticks from Coloured Raine here.

And finally, I finished off the look with my first foray into false lashes. I used Red Cherry Demi Whispies and love the way they complement the shape of the eyeshadow, add some natural length and pretty flutter to my eyelashes. 

If the fabulous Sully coloured eyeshadows I used in this look interest you as much as they do me, check out Sugarpill.com for yourself.

Enjoy!

GI Joe Makeup & OOTD

I went to see the latest GI Joe movie and thought I'd rig up a makeup look with green and camouflage army-like colours. So this is what I came up with and it was a good chance to use colours I don't usually gravitate towards. I took the chance to use my Eye Kandy Semi Sweet sprinkles for a glittery eyeliner, which looks amazing over a black base.

For all the action and gun fire I wore my gun belt buckle GI Joe was the first movie in a while that I have enjoyed Bruce Willis in and what could be better than a plethora of ninjas!

Enjoy!

Guns n' Roses & ZZ Top Gig OOTD & Makeup

Recently I had the awesome experience of going to the Guns n' Roses and ZZ Top Gig. So I whipped on my tartan skirt as a throw-back to the 90s Axl Rose and threw on some dark smudgy eye colours using Inglot, Sleek and Sugarpill then braved the cold "March" rain to enjoy over 3 hours of kick ass rock. 

Thankfully we had seats and didn't get too wet except when the wind was really rocking out, and I had my trusty poncho to get me to my seat so that was ok and the gig was AMAZING!

I didn't have much time to take pictures of my makeup, as we had to be off quickly, however I've included some shots from the gig to tantalise your eyes.

I also created a Guns n' Roses inspired eye look here.

Enjoy!
