SunSet Lip Art ft OCC, Sugarpill & Eye Kandy

I had a go at simulating the beautiful burst of colours that appear as the sun goes down. I started with OCC lip tars to created a gradient lip and then added some gorgeous metallic Sugarpill pigments and Eye Kandy glitters to add an extra sparkly reflective effect of the sun shining at ya!

Enjoy!

Lip Art Tutorial: Red & Black Ombre Lips

This is the lip look I created for the Kiss & Mötley Crüe Gig and has sort of become my logo about the inter-webs. 

I wanted a massively dramatic red and black lip to go with the glam look I banged out for the occasion. If you want to check out the post for Kiss and Mötley Crüe gig OOTD and Makeup from earlier this year, click here. And the original post for the Kiss and Mötley Crüe gig Lip Art is here. 

I finally created the Lip Art tutorial and got my YouTube Channel rolling. So here are the tips, tricks and secret nuances on how I create my Red & Black Ombre Lips.

Enjoy!

The Great Gatsby Makeup & OOTD

I went to the Great Gatsby the other night and dressed to the 9s for the occasion with a 20s inspired makeup. I decided to add some colour to the black and white look with some gold on the lid and in the waterline.

So I created a traditional 20s style shape with Sugarpill Bulletproof blended with Inglot #451 pearl and added some dimension with an Inglot golden shadow in #430. The face was kept pale, just the way I like it and I highlighted with Sugarpill Tako to keep the skin matte and gave the apples of my cheeks a little matte pinkish flush with Bourjois little pot blush in Cendre de Rose Brune. The lips are a Clara Bow-esque shape of the era and I used Channel Rouge Allure Velvet in 38 La Fascinate for a matte red pout.

For the best black eyeshadow and purest matte white ever, grab Sugarpill Bulletproof and Tako from Sugarpill.com.

Enjoy!

Outfit

White tulip ruffled dress

White thigh-high lace-top stockings

For the themed outfit, I went for classy all white with a touch of black because this dress was the closest to 20s fashion in my closet. I did get a new, very necessary accessory; I bought the feather boa from the $2 shop (dollar store in US) to add to the outfit and I added the white flower to my hair. Don't ask me what I did with my hair because I just coaxed it up somehow and shoved it in a really loose side bun with a hair tie and a couple of pins. And this fancy occasion was a great excuse to wear my Steve Madden Partyy-R satin pumps with crystals on the heels to match the glitz on my nails which may be posted on Polishpedia soon.

Iron Man 3 Makeup & OOTD

A movie night makeup and OOTD again! I was inspired by Iron Man's fancy metallic suit and knew that Sugarpill Golidlux, Love+ and Asylum would be perfect for this look. Not to mention Eye Kandy Bananarama and NYX Hot Gold for some extra sparkle and pizzaz!

I enjoyed the movie and also loved wearing this makeup. Red doesn't always have to "make you look sickly", it can look dramatically powerful and really cool too. I chose an angular winged up shape for this eye makeup for a superhero lift to the face and paired it with the gorgeous Lime Crime Velvetine in Red Velvet and a dashing red outfit!

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

If you adore the shimmery red and fabulous gold pigments, then check out Sugarpill.com for Asylum, Goldilux and more!

Enjoy!
