My Favourite Nude Lip Combo!

Fuller Looking Lip Cheats

Fuller Looking Lip Cheats

Hi Dolls! 

Today I want to tell you all about my favourite Lip combo, I am obsessed with how it looks!

Do you like it? 

I just love how plump the lip liner "Oh Honey" from Macs Pro Longwear lip liner range makes my lips look. I always over line my Lips. Sometimes  I like that extra plump look so I round off my cupids bow...this look is not for everyone but I think it gives me the ultimate pout! I love how full and amazing Kylie Jenners lips are.....but for a fraction of the price and no pain! I use this lip liner all over my lips and then fill in the lips with a fab nude lippy from Mac called "Yash"! You actually need this lippy in your collection its the perfect pinky brown nude and makes my lips pop! Go on treat yourself, we all need a go to nude lippy as its so versatile! Any-ways back to the mini review, its so creamy for a matte lippy and does not feel dry on your lips or settle into your lip lines. Its also the perfect nude for my pale skin.Winning!

Fuller Looking Lip Cheats

 As I said I love full lips and love to cheat this and give myself full lips minus the surgery... to amp the fullness I add a gloss to the cupids bow and the bottom of the lower lip.( Not all over the Lips). This draws light into the lips and creates the illusion of a fuller more kissable juicy lip!! My favourite gloss at the moment is from Max factor and its called ""Pristine Nude"".

I hope you dolls like this Blog about my favourite Nude Lip combo! I hope you liked the tips...have you any for me? What are your full lip cheats?? I am forever searching for new ways to create a fuller pout!! Thanks for reading!

Plum Coloured Smoked out Winged Eyeliner

Winged Out Liner Eye Look

Hi everyone!

 So today I am going to posting about how I achieved this Plum coloured eye look with a dramatic winged eye liner!

Please Subscribe  if you like the look!

Step One:

So firstly it is so important that you start off any make up look with a fresh clean base. 

I have got into this new routine of double cleansing! But that post will be for another day! On this occasion I applied my moisturiser from Ponds. I left it then to absorb into the skin whilst I started doing my eye make up.

Its important to let your cream absorb, otherwise it does not plump up your skin, and this means your fine lines and pores are still obvious. 

Just to note that on this occasion I did not use a primer!

Step Two:

I concealed my eye lids with my Mac Pro Long Wear concealer in the shade NW20. This preps my eyes for eye shadow and concealer and pigment I may have on my lid. I also like to set this concealer to stop my lids from creasing. I used Rimmels Stay Matte all day powder in the shade Translucent.

Step Three:

I then applied sellotape to the outer corner of my eyes in an upwards direction. Personally I have hooded eye lids so this helps to open up my eyes! BONUS!

Step Four:

Buff in a transition shade to your crease, I used Make Up Geeks Peach Smoothie.

Take your time on this step and use a fluffy brush like the Inglots6ss.

Step Five:

I then swapped brushes to Mac 217 as it tends to apply eye shadows a little more precisely.

I dipped my brush into Macs eye shadow called Haux. I blended this into my outer crease and blended it back and forth into the crease. Just a tip I always tap off the excess pigment from the brush. 

This photo just shows how your eyes should look!

Step Six:

I then began to add more Plum coloured eye shadows to the look. I applied Macs Sketch eye shadow to the lid. For this I used my finger as it applied more product. I love this eye shadow I think it is perfect for Blue eyes people! After I applied this to my lid you will begin to notice harsh lines back in your crease! 

Step Seven:

Now you need to get a clean Blending brush like a Mac 217. I then Buffed in the Haux eye shadow to my crease again. this should give your eye shadow a gradient look.

Step Eight:

I then added a mix of Honey Lust and Phloof Mac eye shadows to the inner corner to brighten the eye! This added a lovely pop of colour!

Step Nine:

For me the Gel eye liner is the trickiest part! I have defiantly not mastered this skill as of yet!

I used Inglots Gel eye liner in 77 with an angled brush. I took my time and built up the liner. Please do not draw on your liner in one single motion, take it in steps and gradually it will take shape! The sellotape helps to keep both your wings as symmetrical as possible too!

Step Ten:

I now like to apply lashings of mascara! 

If you want you can add falsies but on this occasion  I did not. At this point I like to take a step back look in the mirror make sure everything is blended. Sometimes  I like to add a little more colour to my outer crease. Today I did this and used Sketch to deepen the Plum colour.

Step Eleven:

Remove the sellotape from the eye area. I like a smoked out lower lash line so I then repeat all of the above steps on my lower lash line.

Step Twelve:

I then brushed my eye brows up and filled them in with Rimmels brow pencil. I then set them in place with Collections brow mascara in clear.

Step Thirteen:

I applied my L'oreal foundation in True Match in the shade w4 all over my face with my Expert face brush from Real Techniques.  I then started to high light my face using my Mac Pro Long Wear Concealer again. I applied this along the side of my nose down as far as my nostril and then up towards my temple. It should look like an upside down triangle. I blended this in with my fingers. The heat helps to work the product into the skin. To sculpt my face I used my Rimmel Match Perfection in Natural Beige. This is a few shades darker than my skin so it added a shadow, perfect for contouring! I added this underneath my cheek bones and alone the forehead. This creates depth and dimension.

Step Fourteen:

I now like to set my skin in place, to do this I used my Mac Mineralise Skin Finish in Medium all over my face. However under my eyes I used Rimmels Stay Matte all day powder to keep the under eye bright. To set the contoured areas I used MSF in Medium deep. To enhance my contour I used Nyx's blush in Taupe. To contour my Nose I used Benefits Hello Flawless powder in Beige.

Step Fifteen:

This is my FAVOURITE part of the make up look! 

I apply Macs Soft and Gentle onto the highest points of my face for that GLOW! Yaaass!

And lastly for the lips! I used Inglots Lip Crayon in 14 for that nude lippy! I then used a L'oreal nude lip gloss on top to add that shine!

Thank you all so much for reading this Blog!

I hope you learnt a trick or two!

Fuller Looking Lips

Coral lips

Hi everyone,

today I am posting on how to get fuller lips thanks to Kylie Jenner the world has gone Krazzy for fuller more voluptuous lips. I wore this lipstick recently and loved the creamy finish and fuller look it gave my lips!

 

The products I used to achieve this fuller lip were; "Max Factors" lipstick in the shade "Bewitching Coral" and "Catrice" lip liner in the shade "Red Lip District". However in my opinion both products were a coral shade not a red shade unlike the liners naming. 

Firstly,

I ensured that my lips were clean and had no foundation residue on them and that they were not dry. If your lips are dry I suggest you try exfoliating them on a regular basis. What I do which I know sounds crazy is I  keep a clean spare tooth brush and in the mornings I use the tooth brush over my lips moving it in circular motions. This removes dead skin and promotes circulation, this in turn enhances your lips fullness for a period of time. Win Win rigghhtt?! Once your lips are smooth its a good idea to apply a thin layer of lip balm and allow it to soak into your lips. I recommend the "Burts Bees" lip balms as they are very moisturising.

Now the fun part! When your lips are all prepared I suggest that you over draw your lips, however please do not over draw them completely or you could end up looking like a duck! But in saying that you do you boo! Ensure that your liner is sharp. I like to start lining my lips at my cupids bow this is where I over draw my lips the most. I begin by  over drawing the top of my cupids bow a few mm more than where my natural lip line ends. This enhances the shape of my lips. When I am happy with the cupid bow shape I like to pat the liner and blend it into my lips. This removes excess product and works it well into the lip given it a more natural look. After I have done this I will reline my lips the same way all over again this time filling in all of the lips with the lip pencil. The next place I personally prefer to over draw my lips in the fullest part of my lower lip not the edges. I again use the same technique. I draw my lips a little fuller where it is naturally fuller and blend the liner in again as this also increases longevity of the lip look.

Now

 that you have lined your lips its time for your lipstick. 

I personally like applying lip stick from the bullet. I am lazy to apply with a brush!! I like to apply a thin layer then smack my lips together. I then will grab a tissue and split the tissue in half. I then gently touch this off my lips and press my lips against the tissue, again this removes excess product and works the lipstick into the lips. After I have done this I will then apply another coat of lipstick. At this stage some people like to apply the tissue to their lips again and dust a light layer of translucent powder onto the tissue, This is to set the lipstick and improve its staying power however I rarely remember to do this! I love to apply a dab of a high lighter on to my cupids bow to finish off the lips I love to use "Macs soft and Gentle" high lighter. This will help pull out your lips and again make them look fuller. Light pulls things forward and dark shades push things back! you get the idea its all about creating the illusion of fuller lips!

This is the end result of all my lippy work!

Generally speaking if you would like to have bigger and fuller looking lips you may be better of using a matte lipstick! But I am so into coral shades right now that I just wanted to share this look with you all.

I hope you enjoyed reading my Blog!
