The Makeup Monologues

People seem to really like my Eurovision-inspired looks, so here's another batch! Austria 2016: Loin D'ici by Zoe This is one of my favourite songs from this year's selection, which has a lot to do with the aesthetic that both the song and the video evoke. It reminds me of fairy princesses! For this look, I used mostly my Urban Decay Electric palette- Savage and Jilted in the crease, Urban on the outer corner and Revolt on the lid. I then used Colourpop's Piggy Bank Creme Gel liner for my wing and waterline. I used a very bubblegum-pink blush- essence Pinky Flow- and a combination of OCC lip tars in Iced (frosty white), Hoochie (magenta purple) and NSFW (true red) on the lips. Russia 2016- You Are The Only One by Sergey Lazarev My absolute favourite song this year! This is more of a fun look- I used the colours in the music video for inspiration. For the eyes, I used Fran, Destroyer and Analogue from the Kat Von D Mi Vida Loca Remix palette in the crease,...

Two FOTDs in a row?! I'm sorry, guys, you'll be sick of my face before the week is done. It's not St. Patty's day yet, but this post is more to inspire some of you who want to do something festive with your makeup, but just don't know what! This look was not only super fun to do, but easy as pie too. It focuses on the eyes and highlight. Let's get into it! I'm incredibly pleased with how the eyes turned out!

I then took a smaller, denser blending brush and packed Misfit, the true green in the palette, into my crease. I blended it out with a bit of Vinyl and Peach Smoothie. I then took the Covergirl Flamed Out Shadow Pencil in 330, a light gold shade, and applied it to my lid a bit messily, just to get a sticky base. This isn...

The title of this post should really be "blatant narcissism". It's a blow-by-blow of one of my favourite looks I've ever done. It wasn't an easy look to do, but it came out swimmingly and I'd love to show it off to all of you.  Here are all of the products I used! Bam, quite a lot. The base: first I applied Too Faced's Primed & Poreless primer to my entire face. Then I used the Wet N Wild Coverall Corrector Wheel- the green on any blemishes or red spots, and the yellow on the dark circles under my eyes. Then I used three different concealers- Maybelline Fit Me as a general all-over, then Hard Candy glamouflage very sparingly under my eyes to brighten them. Finally, I used Maybelline Master Conceal to cover up anything that couldn't be covered completely by the Fit Me. Then I slapped a layer of my holy grail foundation- Wet n Wild coverall cream- on top. Now for the fun face stuff. I applied Joe Fresh Translucent powder all ov...
