Festive Look| Curly Hair| Individual Eyelashes

Hi Everyone, 

I can't believe it is almost Christmas! 

I have a really easy look for you guys and it is my new obsession! 

I really love the way my hair looks using The Remington curling wand and my hair stays super curly for days!!! Yes, DAYS! 

So for my lashes I used individual strips and glued them to my lash line. I am fully qualified to do this and I wouldn't recommend doing this to yourself unless you was 100% confident in what you are doing as it can be tricky and a dangerous thing. 

I used a mix of Sizes 12-8, working from the outer corner with a 12 to about 1/3 of the way then mixing 11's and 10's, then to finish the inner corner mostly 8's with a few 9's to blend. 

This process took me about an hour or just a little less but I was super happy with the results. 

For my eye makeup I used my naked Palette and used the colour Virgin, mixed with a very small amount of sidecar all over my lid and blended out in my crease. For my lower lash line I used half baked and just blended this in. 

To finish off the eyes, I used the Rimmel Scandal Eyes Liquid eyeliner felt to create a medium line and a very small flick on the outer corner. I didn't want this to look too dramatic, though if you want a more dramatic look, I would recommend making the cat eye wing thicker and longer. 

I finished by adding some Rimmel Mascara to my lower lash line and a very small amount to my natural lashes on top. 

Today I used the Revlon 24 hour stay foundation and I am loving it! It was a perfect match to my colour and it blended so nicely and was easily build able to extra coverage. I think this is my new go to foundation as I was so happy with the results and it lasted so long and stayed exactly in place! It didn't collect or smudge at all and I had it on for over 10 hours. Very happy with this buy and would totally recommend! I set it with the Seventeen stay time pressed powder and used a MUA dark pressed powder to bronze and YSL for blush. 

On my lips I filled them in using the Jordan lip liner in the colour Tawny and used my Kate by Rimmel Lipstick in the colour 19. These two compliment each other so well, such a good match! 

For my hair I used the Remington Curling Wand, which I love! I curled it in small sections, but not too small, I still wanted them to have a bit of thickness to them and done this to my whole head. I turned the curlers up away from my head and twisted the hair round, before the twisting around the wand. (I Hope you get what I mean!) 
I done this to my whole head and then left to cool down for about 5-10 minutes. 

After leaving my hair to cool down I then separated all the curls using my fingers as I think a brush makes them go frizzy. 

So highly using my fingers I combed through my hair to separate the curls and teased the roots on top to add some extra volume on top. 

I was super happy with how this came out and my curls are still perfectly in place! 

I set them in place with a very small amount of the Elnett Satin Hairspray, but I barely used any as I didn't want them to become clumped curls or hard. 

I think this look is so pretty and super wearable for any occasion. You can add a darker shade to the lid or a thicker wing for a more dramatic look, or preheats a darker lipstick. 

I hope you like this look as much as I do! 

Also on my nails I used the Models own velvet green, matte, glitter polish and to make it shine I just added a Sally Hensen, Diamond Shine topcoat. So pretty! 

I Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and stay safe over the festive period! 

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! 

xoxo

Festive Look | Smoky Eye & Messy Bun

This is a really simple but nice festive look!

I used my Naked original Palette to create the eye look with the Rimmel Scandal Eyes Precision Micro Eyeliner and YSL Babydoll mascara. 

To create the eye look I primed my eyelid with a liquid concealer when doing my makeup. 

I started with the colour Virgin, spreading this all over my lid and in my inner corner. 

I then took the colour Hustle and put this in the outer corner and blended through my crease. 

I used the same Virgin colour to highlight under the brow bone. 

Under my eyes, along my bottom lash line I blended the colour Half Baked, a gorgeous golden colour that I love wearing over the festive period! 

This was really simple and took 2 minutes. I used the blending brush that comes with the naked 2 palette, it's a double ended brush, so I used the tight eyeshadow brush to pack on the virgin colour over my lid & the half baked on my lower lash line. I used the fluffy blending side to blend in the Hustle colour. 

For my lips I used the Kate by Rimmel lipstick in the colour 19. 

For my face I used a different foundation and this was the first time testing it and I think it is quite good! It has excellent coverage and goes on nicely, however it isn't very long wearing, I did notice it start to clump and smear in places throughout the day. It also collects in your expression lines after a while. However, for a flawless look for a few hours, it is amazing! 

I used the Seventeen Stay time liquid concealer under my eyes and to cover any blemishes. I blended this out with the Real Techniques Miracle Sponge (my favourite applicator and blender). 

I used a pressed powder by Rimmel, the 24 hour stay powder on my face to set my foundation and the Lord and Berry bronzer to bronze and lightly contour. 

For blush I used the YSL Rose blush and Benefit Highbeam cream highlighter on my cheeks. 

For my hair it was in need of a wash, so I brushed it out, and using my Remington curling wand, curled the front and back and then put up in a high pony tail. With the pony tail I curled it all and fixed in a messy bun with a hair band. I have very thick long hair, so that is how I got a big bun. I used hair grips/bobby bins to fix bits in place and create my desired look. I also pulled some strand down around my face and curled and brushed through. 

It was a very quick and simple look and really pretty. 

You can also change the lip colour or eyeshadow colours and the look will still be totally wearable and easy to do!
