Make-up look of the month..Oct 2010

Hi there!!

I need to apologise again for my lack of posts...it's not that I've not been thinking about what I want to post about..it's just been getting the time. In between looking after mash and bogo's (my little boys), bridal trials, writing lessons to teach, teaching, website updating.. could go on but I'm pretty sure I would bore you, I've been sporting this look!

Kind of inspired by all this seasons colour palette of camel, taupe, chocolate browns etc I've been using a warm shadow such as wedge (MAC) all over the lid, building in either twinks (MAC) or mystery to wing the shape out and create definition. The reasons I've enjoyed wearing this look is it's fit in really well with pretty much everything I've worn and also it makes blue/green eyes REALLY stand out!! I teamed the look with some very warm coral cheeks and lips with NARS cream blush in cactus flower and Laura Mercier lipstick in Tangerine!

Apologies for the naff pics, they're from my blackberry and it's really not all that good at night-time!

Hope you like it.....

MOTD...hope I got it right and didn't offend anyone ;)

MUOTD...MOTD..ummm confused but anyway, this is a makeup look I did with the Urban Decay 'Naked' Palette! The shape also inspired by Kim Kardashians makeup as I've been in 'makeup' and 'hair' envy mode for a few weeks! Obviously I look nothing like her, (sigh) but this look shows how you can emphasise your own eyes and create that lovely almond shape!

using the black kohl, lined the waterline, top and bottom then started to dot outside into the lashes and smudges all the way around the eye with a MAC 266 brush.

On top of the kohl applied hustle and creep to add definition and the gorgeous almond shape Kim goes for! Blend away with a MAC 217
