Modelling/Make Up

Today I have spent sooooooooo long going through hundreds of new images I just got from a shoot I did a few weekends ago loving the images but it is such a long process anyway I though I'd post a few up as I did all the make up my self and its mostly the same products and similar looks I tend to show on my blog it's just my camera never picks up that well and obviously with this been a professional camera you can actually see the make up! Obviously it's nothing special or out there but it is my 'look' really as I don't generally change my make up for pictures compared to if im just going out or whatever I usually just wear abit more converage and maybe everything abit heavier, Sooooo these are all from that same shoot the full list of products I used is after the photos! :)

Blue da ba dee.....................

Im feelin blue today, xmas shopping ANNOYING me so bad, so doing it in July next year LOL

But how it would I would love if we lived in a blue world literally LOL......these are from a shoot I did and it's not just photoshopped (and no im not just blue haired either) its the special lighting, Superhero fab LOL

 I think I rock blue hair and blue eyes pretty well ALTHOUGH I did have some dodgy blue contacts when I was 16 that looked so fake but I thought I was soooooo cool ha ha ha.

hey if its good enough for the lovely Katy perry and Amber rose.........

 

If anyone's interested in blue lipstick StarGazer (New Look branches in the UK stock it) do 1 for around £3ish, It's shade #104

Anyway hope all you guys aren't as 'blue' as me and enjoying the run up to christmas.....just to finish off the blue theme....

Wedding Make up/Look

This is from a Shoot (yes just a shoot.....I haven't managed to snag a ring on the finger from my Mr yet unfortunatley hahaha, I will start throwing hints in the next few years though LOL) I was only 20 when these got taken last year for some wedding promotion merchanside and a photography buisness so quite a young bride :-)

I did the makeup myself anyway for these due to budgets and time so here was my wedding look, I can't tell you exact products as it was a year ago now and my memory is good but not that good!

Anyway (click pics to enlarge)

Face - For all photoshoots at this point I used Estee Lauden Double Wear Foundation, I don't have it anymore though so can't tell you the exact shade, I stopped using it as it made me come out in some major spots! I think it was because it was so thick and it even smelt like cement in my opinion. I used a face powder to eliminate shine but really have no idea which powder I was using around this time, Right now I would recommend L'Oreal and Rimmel for cheap and simple powders that you can't fail with, and the blush was a baby pink one, I think it was the Bourjois little pot ones, They do some nice colours, I wanted to get really girlie and flushed cheeks but not clown like!

Eyes - I used a matt flesh toned colour for all over the eyes, and then a bit of whitey cream shimmer shadow for some sparkle, I didn't want to be glittering as thats not very bride like but if I was to do it again I would just keep the shadow really simple and use a highlighter like the Sleek Glo one to highlight under the arch in my brow and then the inner corners of my eyes, I did use a liquid liner (always used 2true's from Superdrug) on the top and lined my waterline with Rimmel Kohl and joined both lines up which in hindsight might have been abit harsh, but for me personally I feel like I really look better with my eyes heavily accentuated with liner but for others just a very thin line on top would probabaly be enough, I also used Bad girl Benefit for my lashes.

Lips - I lined my lips usingw a light pink lipliner then filled my whole lip area in with that and just went over with a sheer baby pink gloss and on top of that a nudey coloured lipstick so my lips wouldn't be too glossy.

I did want a timeless, elegant look, and the breakdown of this is - Pink Flushed cheeks, shimmery lined eyes, and light pink/nude gloss lips which you can never go wrong with. I love the look, im big on black smokey eyes at the moment but I wouldn't want to really wear these on my wedding day, An alternative to this look I would possibly do would be a brown smokey eye though with very nude lips and then black liner, or for some people red lips and just simple lined eyes would look amazing but me and red lips never go, OMGGG I could go on about wedding looks forever LOL, I love weddings!

Anyway I was just thinking what to do for a next blog post when I came across these pics so thought something wedding-y might be interesting, I am sorry I couldn't be specific with products but I didn't use anything really special or magnificent, it's a simple look that could be re-created with practically any brands as long as you have an idea of shades :-)

Pin up/Glamour Look

Hi everyone I was going to do a make up 'look' today and still might (sitting here makeup free at the moment!) and was looking through some pics and thought I would show you this look from one of my photoshoots that was done totally by me (I don't actually often get make up artists on shoots)

So this is a copper eyed, black liner and pink/red lips look! Its not really pin-up but quite heavy and glam

I started with my base and powder, I used Max Factor - Lasting Performance in 106 Natural Beige (I picked this up for about £7 in a cheap make-up stall), I also used the BOOTS brand 17 Hide away concealer is shade Medium (around £3) and my powder was also 17 pressed powder in Nicely Natural (rrp £3.99)

The foundation I started to find patchy for my skin so I moved onto my RimmelLasting Finish, and I also use alot of 17/boots brand as this photo was taken not long after I left boots as I did used to work there for 3months before modelling, the powder is ok nothing special but the concealer isn't the best it does the job but is fairly chalky,


As always I filled in my brows with my Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil in Brown/Black (for under £4 I LOVE this its my holy grail product) and then I used a 17 Glitter Eyeshadow in 'Chalice' (rrp £3.89) these have great staying power and the pigmentation is great, I just am not a fan of glitter anymore and it's abit too orange toned this colour, I lined my eyes using 2trues black liquid liner (£2 or 3 for £5 on all 2true in Superdrug) I haven't tried too many 2true apart from their foundation which was hard to blend, lipglosses which smell amazing but are very sticky and concealer which is nothing great abit like the 17 one) BUT the liner I love it's such a strong colour and i find the brush really easy to work with, I did my waterline with a Black Rimmel Kohl one (around £4) and the mascara I used was a Bad Gal Benefit one (around £14) which I LOVE! But haven't repurchased as trying out other ones and diff brands (Maybelline Falsies next and old fave L'oreal Voluminous!) I flicked my liner out to create a sulty sexy and glam look,

For my lips I used 17 Lasting Fix Lipstick in Showbiz a cerise pinky colour and then to add a red tone and get some gloss went over with Boots No 7 Liplicious in just a postbox red colour (this was £10 but the shade has wore off so can't specify what it is and the website isn't showing any reds!) This goes on soooo nice it's not as bright as in the tube but lasts ages and feels really glossy and light.

To finish I just used No7 Mosiac Bronzing powder (£12.50) I loved this it gave such a healthy glow but I had 2 and they both crumbled and broke after not much use (and I can't think of any heavy drops or knocks they had to do this!)
