MOTN, last fridays night out makeup

Hi there!! :)

I went out for a quiet drink with some friends last Friday and wanted to try a slightly different brights look than my usual tangerine! (on the lips!)

I wanted to create quite a classic pin up eye with a punchy pink lip and cheek!

 Of course I used my new Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua (for purposes of blogging now known as CVA, hurts my fingers typing it so much haha) On the eyes I used -

MAC e/s in vanilla on the lid and blended out up to the brow bone

MAC wedge in the crease with a crease brush, blending out into the vanilla and added more vanilla under the brow to define.

MAC omega and mystery in my brows

MAC wedge under the bottom lashes

Clinique gel liner in black

Eyelure natural lashes (new ones, sorry can't remember the no but you should check out their new ones)

MAC CCB in pearl on the cheekbones to highlight

Chanel soilel du tan in hollows of cheeks and blended up into the CCB

Illamasqua blush and lipstick from the sirens palette! (I'm not sure if they're in the permanent collection but would definitely recommend you check out illamasqua if you have not already!

I swapped around the lipstick for the evening with MAC's girl about town to match my Bright fuchsia nails, a look I will try again soon!

Be back soon!

A new you tube tutorial...

I think I might be on a roll....

Thank you soooo much to everyone for supporting and subscribing to my youtube site, it's a lot of fun creating the vids..(not sure my husband does when I'm working in my studio all evening..!)

This week I am creating a look for a catwalk show at the Corn Exchange in Leeds for an amazing designer who I have worked with a few times this year. Her clothing line is called Prodiga and beautiful!

(I'm also very excited as Olly Murrs, Shayne Ward, Ironik and Wonderland are performing straight afterwards..hope someone needs their nose powdering!! :) )

Jenny, the designer, wanted a full impact barbie look and sent me the image below for inspiration..

I actually though the white liner under the eye reminded me of a sixties look and also something which Belle Amie, the girl band on xfactor wore last week!

Here's a little look at the image I was creating for the tutorial

 and here's my version..slightly more intense as it's for a catwalk show!

I don't really buy much make-up.. oops! yes i do!

I was sat thinking about which may be my favourite make-up item I've recently purchased, and although I seriously do need these items (ahem!) I couldn't really decide on a favourite, so thought I'd blog about them all! I have to say though, I'm not necessarily a make-up snob (meant in an inoffensive manner, of course) I actually love all kinds of make-up, just as long as it looks pretty and does the job! so.. here they are, my new, (in the last 2 months) favourites!

MAC melon pigment (thanks to Nic @pixiwoo for the recommendation) It's fab for highlighting and makes me feel all summery and glowing!

MAC lilicent BLUSHCREME. It's a beautiful delicate cream blush which is build able for a gorgeous peachy cheek

Illamasqua Rich liquid foundation in RF 120 is a full coverage foundation, perfect for a blank canvas to work on. Beware though, its a tough cookie to work in! Also illamasqua nail varnish in Blow, I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! Lemon to the max... and Illamasqua sheer lip gloss in torture. You will notice there's a definite theme with the coral! It's amazing over a peachy lipstick!

The beautiful elegance of Chanel's new Rouge Coco lipsticks! This one is Cambon and gorgeous!

Lip glosses from left, Benefit- kiss you, Revlon- no 200, No 17- Peach Melba, Barry M- 53

There will be more- I'll post those soon!! xx Hope enough for now x
