This look is inspired by a fabulous makeup artist I found on instagram. Her tutorials/pictorials are so easy to follow and so flawless. Many of her looks are absolutely stunning but this one was different from what I have done and stood out to me. I never used a base for my eye products but my version would have been popping and vibrant with a gold and purple base. All the same its a sleek elegant look and great for evening occasions. Here is the inspiration image:

Day 14: Barbie: October Makeup Challenge

I could not wait to do this look because I am the worlds number 1 Barbie fan! Since I was a child I have been addicted to Barbie. I even went Tesco with my mum the other day and saw the Barbie dolls on the shelf and pointed to them and my mum just looked at me and said at your age of 26, a mother and a wife you STILL want Barbie dolls! I actually nodded! I was privileged to create this look because its playful, fun, girly and so cute! I have not recreated a Barbie look before and although it was just for the challenge I do plan on filming it. My grey contact also snatched this look hunny!

Day 10-12 Black, Smokey and Glitter- October Makeup Challenge

Day 10- Black!

Black Lipstick was actually a trend for black women in the 90s. I think that its back now! Its one of them love or hate types of makeup to wear and definitely for the more daring out going type of gal.

This lipstick shade is by BlackUp Cosmetics, and I thought this look will work well for my monthly challenge as it is somewhat a peculiar type of makeup to rock. When I posted this unto my instagra, however, A lot of ladies loved it, some however were not so keen! But its ok! This is the fun of makeup!

Products Used:

Face: Illamasqua- Skin base Foundation in No.17

Contour- BlackUp- Palette de correcteur in CR03 (dark shade)

Highlight: La Girl Pro Concealer in Toast and Almond (mixed)

On Eyes: (check previous post) 

Cheeks: Nars- Exhibit A blush

Lips- BlackUp Cosmetics- RGE30- Matte

Day 11:

Everybody loves a smokey eye. Its a dramatic look, but so easy to achieve. Day 11 was interesting as I got to do a smokey eye but because of the base I used, it had this velvet look. Smokey eyes are great for fall, can be worn day or night or an evening out. I added a pop of colour on the lips and dazzled the eye look with my signature gold tear duct and luscious lashes!

Products Used:

Face: Illamasqua- Skin base Foundation in No.17

Contour- BlackUp- Palette de correcteur in CR03 (dark shade)

Highlight: La Girl Pro Concealer in Toast and Almond (mixed)

Eyes: (Base) NYX Jumbo Pencil in Black Bean and MAC Carbon eyeshadow, Tear Duct- Wet N Wild (Vanity Palette) Gold 

Cheeks: Illamasqua- Sin Blusher

Lips: MAC- Up the Amp

Day 12: Glitter

I looooove me some glitter! Its so gorgeous. This look is so sexy, like its such an effortless day time look, I didn't want to do the typical glitter look where I added the same colour on top of the same eyeshadow colour, I wanted to be bold and add a contrast. So I used green and gold cosmetic glitter... I actually cannot wait to the holiday season where I can really play in my glitter stash. The bold lip signifies everything sassy and cute yet elegant and classy. Instead of a classic red, I went for a bold burnt orange matte lip which to me was so much more interesting.

Products Used:

Lips: MAC Chilli

Eyes: (Same Black Smokey as above), Cosmetics glitter in gold and green
