Black and Red Queen look

Hi guys! How are you all keeping today? So I was looking at some YouTube vidoes the other night and I came across a look something like what I have done today. It was different colours but I am sure this combo was done before too. This is my first time doing something like this. I am more of smokey eye kinda gal. I always for for the same thing. To be honest I really like it and I think I will do more looks like this. It's much easier to do and it looks fab. This is how I archived this look. 

1. Prime.

Prime eyelid with eye primer or a little of concealer with powder. This will help the staying power of the eye shadow and it will also make it pop more. 

2. Choose your shade.

Today I went for black and orenge toned red. Apply red on the centre of lid using patting motion with a small shader brush. With a clean brush apply black shade in the outter and inner corners in the eye. Blend into red shade to make it look seem less. Connect both inner and outter corner with the same black by swiping motion and slightly blending into the crease. Using same skin tone or shade lighted shadow to blend just above the crease. Using a light shade for high light.

 (All shadows used are matt)

3. Apply face make up as usuall. 

4. Lips. 

As this is a dark eye make up a nude lip would be lovely. Today I chose a pink lip. I thought it was really nice together. 

All shadows that I used were from the 88 colour matt palette by Blank Canvas cosmetics. If you would like to read my review on this palette Blank Canvas Cosmetics

Thank you all for stopping by.

Outfit of the day and Face of the day.

Hey guys! How are yer week going mine is kinda rough to be honest. 

Today I am going to share with you my outfit and my makeup from yesterday. I was ment to write this post yesterday but it went out of my head! 

Staring with the top and working my way down. Sorry now but I didn't have enough moemory in my Ipod to take pictures of everything but Ill just have to tell you what they were. 

Face: I used a Nivea mosturiser and on top of that my BB cream. Now I would tell you the name of it but I can't even say it. It's not one of the well known ones. I got this BB cream in a pound shop and it was only 1.50. Ya I know you are raising your eyebrows and thinking what did she do that for. I have never used a BB cream before and I had heard so much about them so I just got a cheap one to see what was so great about them. To be honest with you for just 1.50 it's pretty good. I might do a review on it soon. 

Brows: I have an Avon eyebrow pencil that I use on a daily basis and it works just fine for me. I don't do to much to my brows because there isn't a lot to do to them. 

Eyes: On my lid I used a very light eyeshadow to just brighten it up. Just above my crease I used Naked from the Naked palette. On my crease I used a little bit of Buck to define the crease. For the high light shade I used Vergin on the brow bone and in the inner eye to make me look that little bit awake. The eyeliner that used was the Essence Gel eyeliner in Midnight. It's such a black liner that I love it and its also waterproof. Which is always a good thing in my book. My mascara was a Rimmel RotroGlam. I have it a while now. 

Lips: I used a pink lip liner again I don't know the name of it as I have a good while and the name is well rubbed off. 

Outfit: 

White tank top (don't know where it's from) 

Jumper I got it in a secon hand shop. I am not that big in getting things from charity shops but something they do have fantastic clothes that were never wore or still have there tags on from the original shop. This jumper had its tag on and I really liked the light pink colour. 

Jeans: ( Pennys) I really would have wore shorts if I knew it was going to be so hat out. I was passing out all day. 

Shoes: ( they were a present so I don't know we're they were got) 

I love this sandals. They are so comfy! 

Thank you everyone who read my posts. 

I hope you all have a nice week.

OOTD, FOTD

Happy Saturday everyone. Hope your all having a nice weekend. Yesterday I had a birthday in fact all of May is full of birthdays. It wasn't a big deal we just all went to town and had a meal.

Anyway to the good stuff. This is what I wore! 

My jumper is from Penny's. I love this jumper is amazing. Really comfy too. I did have a sting top under the jumper a red one to bring out the lips. 

I wear jeans all the time. I am not a huge dress fan. These jeans I think came from Tesco. 

I bought these shoes in Penny's. They are the first pair of shoes in that type that I ever wore. The first day that I wore them they didn't seem to be very comfy but I live them now. 

My matching chain and earrings are Newbridge Silver. I thought it would look nice with the red lips 

My make up was very unoriginal but I like the soft look. It was something quick I came up with. Start using my Naked palette again. I used the first 4 shades in the palette. 

I hope you all enjoy this post. 

Thanks all for visiting!!
