OOTD & FOTD | Theme Park

Hello! So yesterday I went to Thorpe Park, a very well known theme park here in the UK, with one of my close family friends. It was a lovely day, thanks to the weather holding out and not raining on us. Though we went on many water rides so did end up getting soaked any way. Straight after I went to the cinema with another group, of friends to see 'Divergent' don't worry I dried off first, haha!. It was absolutely amazing and probably one of my top 10 films. I love a good love story in film, and have to say I am a crier! But I'd defiantly recommend it. So I needed an outfit and makeup look that'd be suitable for both.

My makeup has changed quite a bit since the last time I posted a FOTD, this is mainly thanks to getting a lot of new make for Christmas! (thanks mum!)

Halloween Makeup | Possessed Doll

Happy Halloween! (For Tomorrow)

Hello, today I'm going to show you the makeup and hair I'm planning on wearing for Halloween. Its a great last minute look as I had all of this and didn't need to buy anything new. The items used your most likely to already own otherwise you can purchase them for an inexpensive amount. Hope you enjoy.

First I'm juts going to apply a foundation that's slightly lighter than my natural skin tone to make me appear paler than I actually am. Here I'm using 'Revlon's Photo Ready foundation' in the shade '004 Nude'. I have to admit for my skin type I don't find this to be a great concealer it would suit much better for people with oily skin but it'll do for Halloween. I just loaded 2 pumps onto my hand and blended it in a circular motion all over my face using my Real Techniques Expert Face Brush.

Now just for a slight more coverage I'm applying my holy grail concealer, 'Collection Ever Lasting Perfection', in the shade 'Medium 3'. I just dot this where I have any redness or scaring from blemishes. I don't apply this under my eyes, which you'll find out why later. Again I bland this in using my Expert Face Brush, as I find it gives the best coverage.

Now I just like to powder my face, to set the foundation and concealer. However I don't apply to much of this as I don't want my skin looking overly matte. I prefer my skin to have a dewy look to it. Here I'm using my Collection Pressed Powder in the shade 'Tender Touch 02'.

Now here's why I didn't apply any concealer under my eyes. Taking a white pencil eye liner draw a half circle from one and of your eye to the other, try to keep it around the same size as your eyes to make it look even. Also line your water line. The one I'm using is 'Maybelline's expression Kajal gentle precision eyeliner' in the shade '35 white'. I love this product it applies lovely on the water line, its so creamy and pigmented, and you could do this with one coat.

Then fill in the circle with the pencil and smoothen it out using your fingers. This makes a good base when applying eye shadow. 

Now taking a flat shaded brush here I'm using this one by Real Techniques. Pack on as much white eye shadow as possible don't be shy here, as we want this to be super white. Place it on top of the eye pencil we just did, until you have a consistency your happy with. Then place it on your lid and blend out using a clean brush.

Next take a black eye pencil and lightly draw the outline of the white eye line. Be extra gentle when doing this so is you make a mistake its easy to wipe away. But if you do make a mistake don't worry as this is just a trace line were creating. Do this to both eyes until your happy with the shape.

Then go over the black eye pencil either using a liquid or pen eye liner. I used a pen as I found it easier to get the precision. This particular one is from Seventeen, and its called the 'Make Your Mark Precision Eyeliner Pen'. Once you've completed the outline feel free to add as little or as many eyelashes as you like. I only did a few and made then quite cartoon looking, as I didn't want it to look too perfect. I then lined my upper lash line with the pen very lightly just to make my lashes appear thicker.

Yay! eye's are done now were going to make the stitched mouth. First were going to do the same as we did for the eyes and using the same black eye pencil get the shape your happy with, try and get each side as symmetrical to the other as possible. When your happy with the shape go over the line with your eye liner pen, and add some lines or crosses to look like the stitches.

Finally apply generous coats of your favorite mascara. Be sure to apply lots and if you can/want to apply fake lashes, we want our lashes to appear really 'doll like', I used two coats of benefits they're real mascara. However don't apply any mascara to your bottom lashes as we want them to be as hidden as possible because we've created new ones.

However if you wanted this to be a complete drugstore look I'd recommend 'Rimmel Scandleyes' mascara, this is my favorite drugstore mascara I've tried.

Now what you want to do is take you concealer and apply it to both sides of you lips, this is so we can reshape our own lips to appear more doll like. I then smiled and dabbed this into my lips using my finger and I found it gave a better coverage.

Next using a Red Lip Liner, outline a small set of lips onto of your own. This makes the stitching look a lot more effective, and I think it just looks really cool! Then using the same lip liner rill in the outline. The reason I've used a lip liner rather than a lipstick is because lip liner's have a longer lasting power than lipsticks and we don't want your lips to start disappearing after eating all those sweets.

 Wahoo! Hair time. Were going to create to high bunches. I personally do this because it reminds be of a doll more than anything else I was to do with my hair, but if you don't want to do that feel free to do your hair however you like it. 

First I'm going to brush out all my hair to make sure all the knots are out. Then I'm going to split it down the middle and take each section to the top of my head and tie it off using a hairband.

Your hair should then look like this..

And you should be done. You can wear this look with pretty much anything. I think I'm going to wear it with some tights and a black skater skirt, not sure what top yet though. 

Comment bellow what your going as for Halloween, or let me know if you try to recreate this look.

FOTN + OOTN | Party makeup + Eye look

Hello! I'm sorry I didn't post yesterday I went straight from working (late) out to a party so I had absolutely no time! But anyway here is what I wore to a party yesterday and which makeup I wore, including an eye look. So my outfit of the night and face of the night.  Sorry the photos aren't that great, they're the only ones I have!

Eyes

I decided to recreate the look that I did on my eyes so here is a quick overrun of how I did my eyes. (By the way I have no other make-up on so excuse the skin..)

First I put on a light silver shade from an old eye shadow palette from Next. I used this as a base for my eye shadow.

Second I used my Sleek palette which I mention in a post here (If you would like a review of this let me know in the comments below).  I used the shade 'Thunder' on my crease and the shade 'Noir' on my outer corner.  

Lastly I used the shade 'Pillow talk' (which is white).  I used this on my inner corners and my brown bone for highlighting. 

I also used

Rimmel waterproof eye definer | Shade '261 noir'

Jean Paul Gaultier Brow Definer Pencil | Shade '2'

Soap and Glory Thick & Fast Mascara | Shade 'Super jet black' (But not in this photo)

Here is the finished look!

Hair

I straightened my hair using a Babyliss Hair Straightener which is very nice as it comes with 10 different heat settings.  

I used a VO5 Heat Protect Spray and a VO5 Heat Protect Serum

Hope you enjoyed this!

Let me know in the comments if you would like any reviews of anything mentioned in this post

Also let me know your favourite eye look for a party!

Autumn Looks and Beauty Essentials

Today I'm going to be showing you a few of my go to autumn beauty products and well as looks I wear that I created with the products mentioned, hope you enjoy.

Lips

Okay, so for autumn and winter I like to stick to either nudes or red toned lipstick, these 4 are my current favorites. I've included a mixture of price ranges as I know not everyone likes to spend a load of money on lipsticks. I've only recently started wearing lipstick more, so I don't own very many, these are just a few of the favorites I own.

Revlon Lip Butter - Peach Parfait

This lip product is a lip butter from Revlon, I love the lip butters for days where you just want a light tint to your lips, but nothing to bright. This is a nude/orange color with sparkles in! I love this color and think it would match any skin tone.

 Natural Collection - Crimson

Natural Collection lipsticks are the best cheap lipsticks that I've tried. They are very pigmented and the color that comes out on your lips is very creamy and soft. The shade I have is a faded red color. I love it if you want to have red lips but not to bright (e.g. for school). The one bad point about this brand is that their lipsticks don't stay put very long, unless you apply a pencil liner underneath. But for starting a collection and getting into lipsticks their great, and a bargain.

Rimmel London, Kate Moss lipstick - 110

These are the best lipsticks I've ever tried, and this one is my favorite, its a orange/watermelon color and smells of watermelon, I think this may have been limited edition but I'm not sure. The Kate Moss lipsticks are so creamy and pigmented and they don't budge. I would highly recommend them.

 Rimmel London, Kate Moss lipstick - 22

This is the same brand but this was not a limited edition color and sadly has no scent *cry*. But the color and overall product is still just as good however this is a bright red with a hint of pink, and its perfect for special occasions (probably wearing this shade at Christmas!)

Eyes

No7 - Antique Rose

I've been loving this color recently, and its a shade that I've only just recently rediscovered, I think my mum got this as a freebee and gave it too me and I never really used it, so I found it hidden at the back of my makeup draw and its a rose gold color that looks so stunning, this color you can really build up or leave as just a tint of color on the lid. If this product is still available I would definitely try to get it because I've been using it so much lately, its such a practical color.

Front Cover rainbow eyes (2008/2009 collection)

I've also been using this eye shadow pallet I used to use years ago that I won at a dressing up party thing (came 3rd for best dressed, wooo!). I think its got so many lovely color's in it, and they can either be really dressed up or down. All the colors are so easy to blend and very pigmented.

I've loved these colors for autumn in particular..
