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!

Witchy Woman Halloween Makeup ft Sugarpill & Lime Crime

Here's a simple halloween tutorial that is a twist on a classic witch makeup and all I can hear in my head is the Eagles song Witchy Woman. I used purple eyeshadows from Sugarpill and Lime Crime along with green pigments to create a green eye brows with contour and shading around the perimeter of my face to give the illusion of a green complexion without painting the whole face green.

Enjoy!

Darks & DuoChromes Eye Tutorial ft Sugarpill

I wanted to play with some duo-chromatic shadows, so I eyed one of the most enchanting loose shadows from Sugarpill, Lumi and my favourite MAC shadow, Vellum and combined them into a simple yet effective eye look.

I used Urban Decay perversion eye pencil to create a dark base in a smudged eyeliner shape for the Lumi to reflect over and added some Sugarpill Bulletproof in the outer corner and the lower lashline for some darkness. 

I created these eyes mainly to go with the matching lip look which will be out soon...

And if you dig on awesome loose pigments and smooth easy blendable matte shadows check out Sugarpill here.

Enjoy!

Makeup Tutorial: Fresh Violet Eyes

I created this simple violet eye look to go with the Space-age holographic Lip Art which you can see here. It's a great look for winter and a fresh trending look to cleanse yourself for the new year.

I used Vellum, a duo chrome white and violet shade which is one of my favourite MAC shadows, and Sugarpill's Diamond Eyes from their Cold Chemistry Palette with a bit of Inglot 101R in the crease.

I kept the cheeks a natural "just came out of the snow" flush with Benefit Hervana and throb blushes mixed together and a touch of MAC Mineralised blush in Gentle on the apples.

This look really shows off your eye lashes and is all about a nice coat of mascara and well combed through lashes. I have a lash growth experiment coming up that tells you how mine got so long and luscious.

And if you're into fun shimmery shadows and fabulous mattes, check out Sugarpill here!

I'm really smitten with these fabulous Fireworks leggings that I won in a Letzmakeup YouTube competition sponsored by Romwe. 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.

Animal series: Lavender Leopard

This look is an entry for Youtube Kristianathe's 15k subscriber contest for a Dramatic/Editorial makeup inspired by fashion. I have created a video which you can check out here.

I based this makeup on a leopard, but not just any leopard.

These cute bastards come in many different colours and I chose to get inspiration from a Snow leopard and also my Karen Millan hand bag and shoes, but changed up the colours because I was in a purple mood. I have so many gorgeous purples from Inglot and Sugarpill because purple was my first love in the world of eyeshadow. I went all out with some purple rhinestones and MAC 3D glitter and played with my Lime Crime Orchidaceous uniliner.

You have to check out Kristianathe blog here.

This look is for my Animal series that I started last year with a tiger look, check it here.

A Good Day to Die Hard Makeup & OOTD

I went to see the new Die Hard movie: A good day to Die Hard and took the chance to wear my new flamed leggings and went for a femme fatale look for the makeup. 

The shape and colours of the makeup was inspired by GlitterGirlC's Disney good vs. evil makeup where she used Sugarpill's Lumi over a black shadow and blended it out to a purple. And also Goldiestarling's easy cat eye look; I used her technique with the black shadow and tape. I really loved these looks so much I had to incorporate some of the elements into this look.
