Poison Passion-Complementary Colours

The other day I woke up and for some reason I just had to use purple and yellow together!

As purple and yellow are complementary colours, they can be very difficult to blend, so I decided to go for more of a cut-crease look. 

 This makeup was a great way to distract myself from the fact it's freezing cold here, these colours are so bright and fun. I really love how this turned out :)

Revlon Colorstay Foundation

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder

Dramatic Cut Crease Makeup Tutorial

It is so enjoyable being able to sit down at my makeup desk and just let creativity take over. That's exactly what happened when I created this. I knew I wanted to do something fun, something bold. I think I achieved that.

What's better than neon green combined with a rich purple?

 

Products:

• MAC Painterly Paintpot
• NYX White Eyeshadow Base
• Sleek Acid Palette
• MAC Beautiful Iris
• MAC Stars'N'Rockets
• Sugarpill Poison Plum
• Sugarpill Bulletproof
• MAC Zestful (Extra Dimension Eyeshadow)
• Maybelline Hyper Glossy Liquid Eyeliner
• Bourjois Liner Effect Mascara
• Inglot 77 Gel Liner

I even filmed a tutorial for this look! I know my video's aren't great, especially because my eye always seems to be at the bottom of the frame, but I am working on it! I'll be using a new tripod very soon in my hopes to eliminate that problem!

                                     

Thanks for all your support, and for watching my tutorials. It means so much to me.

Let me know what you think :)

My Halloween!

Hey guys!

Just wanted to post and show you what I got up to for halloween!

The look below is what I wore to work, which is at Gloria Jeans coffees :) Our store was allowed to dress up, and we even created our own halloween drink called "Strawberries and Screams" :D

This was my last minute vampire look...

EYES:

• MAC Half Wild Paint Pot
• Sugarpill Poison Plum Eyeshadow
• MAC Parfait Amour Eyeshadow
• Sugarpill Dollipop Eyeshadow
• Sugarpill Tako Eyeshadow
• Sleek black Eyeshadow
• Maybelline Line Stiletto Liquid Liner
• MAC Blacktrack Fluidline
• Random lashes

LIPS:

• MAC Violetta Listick
• MAC Revenge Is Sweet Lipglass

For the vampire bite on my neck, I used duo eyelash adhesive to create the circles. Then once that was dry, I pulled at the centre of each with tweezers to look like to small wounds. I then filled the centre with a recipe of black eyeliner, purple lipstick, red lipliner, red eyeshadow then added the blood (lipliner mixed with gloss).

The next look is what I wore to my halloween party. I went as Miss Scissorhands! I knew once I saw the costume I just HAD to get it :) I love Edward Scissorhands.. I find him cute haha. I didn't want to look as 'dead' as he did, slightly more of a glamorous scissorhands look :)

This is the makeup I did to go with the costume...

Yay, SPIDER LASHES!!

^^ This is the actual costume itself ^^

EYES:

• MAC Painterly Paint Pot
• MAC Burnt Burgundy Pigment
• Sugarpill Poison Plum Eyeshadow
• Sugarpill Love+ Eyeshadow
• Sleek black Eyeshadow

Earlier in the night I did have MAC's Smoked Purple lipstick dabbed on as a stain effect, but it wore off by the time I got pics. Also, for the scars, I just used Duo eyelash glue again and used concealer and powder to set.

I'd LOVE to know what you think of my looks :)

Did you dress up for halloween? What did you dress up as?

Victoria Frances Goth Girl!

Hey everyone!

Today I bring you a look I did recently that I've been thinking about doing for a while. Its based on one of Victoria Frances' amazing artworks. I guess this can also count as a halloween look (goth chick perhaps!), just tweak it as you desire!

I have explained everything you need to create this look!

Enjoy!

Using the Sigma E35 Tapered Blending Brush, apply Sugarpill's Poison Plum, or any similar purple you have, to the entire lid and blend as desired. Then, using the same brush, apply a darker purple or a small amount of black to the inner portion of the eyelid. You can find this must-have brush here: http://www.sigmabeauty.com/product_p/e35.htm?Click=1897

Next, using a Sigma E65, line your upper lashline and waterline with a black cream or gel eyeliner. I used MAC's Blacktrack Fluidline. This brush is great for applying gel eyeliners, perfect size and easy to control. You can find it here: http://www.sigmabeauty.com/product_p/e65.htm?Click=1897

After the eyes are done and mascara is on, use the Sigma F80 brush to buff the foundation of your choice into your skin. Using the flat top kabuki brush really creates a flawless application of foundation. This brush can be purchased for $16 here: http://www.sigmabeauty.com/Sigma_Flat_Top_Synthetic_Kabuki_F_80_p/f80.htm?Click=1897

The next step is to apply your concealer and buff it into the skin with the Sigma E40 Blending Brush. This is technically an eye brush, but I love the way it blends my concealer into my skin. I recommend that everyone gives it a go! It's a steal at $9

http://www.sigmabeauty.com/product_p/e40.htm?Click=1897

To finish off the skin, set your foundation with a matching face powder. To do so, use the Sigma F30 Powder Brush. Its the perfect size for powdering the whole face quickly, especially when you're on the go! You can find it here:

http://www.sigmabeauty.com/product_p/f30.htm?Click=1897

Now onto the fun part! To create the tears and swirl design, I suggest using the Sigma E05 Eyeliner brush. Its extremely easy to use as its so small and has a nice point, perfect for doing detail work. If you are interested in doing creative, detail work, this brush is a must have! Purchase here http://www.sigmabeauty.com/product_p/e05.htm?Click=1897 for just $9!

Finally comes the lips. If you don't have a lip brush, like me, you can turn one of your other brushes into a multi-tasking brush! Here I used the Sigma F70 Concealer brush to apply my nude lip colour of choice. Its not too big and works really well as a lip brush. At $9 you can't really go wrong. http://www.sigmabeauty.com/product_p/f70.htm?Click=1897

If you are interested in buying any of these brushes, why not save yourself some money and get the whole set of 12 brushes for $79 without the brush roll, or for $99 including the brush roll?!

Now onto the photos!

This look would be perfect for halloween! Just pair it with a dark lip for a goth look, or pale out your skin and add some greyish contours and create a 'dead' look!

EYES:

• MAC Painterly Paintpot
• Sugarpill Poison Plum
• Sleek Noir Eyeshadow
• MAC Blacktrack Fluidline
• Bourjois Liner Effect Mascara
• Mehron Paradise Prisma Blendset (Body Paint)

FACE:

• MAC Studio Fix Foundation
• MAC Select Moisturecover Concealer
• MAC Light Medium MSF Natural
• MAC Blushbaby Blush

LIPS:

• Concealer
• MAC Boy Bait Lipglass

Let me know what you think of the look :)

Starry Night

Hey guys, just a little post today quickly showing you my entry for a makeup contest. I haven't entered it just yet, but this is how it turned out:

Its one of those galaxy type looks :)

If any of you like, I can post some more pics for you's!

I just got my brand new huuuuge train case delivered... I have to go play with it! I bought it mostly for tafe, so I'm able to take both my nail kits without struggling to carry everything. Anyway, this will probably be fitting my makeup kit into it too :) I'll be sure to post about it very soon :)

Have a great day!

Twinkle!

Hello my lovely followers :)

Today I bring you a look I did over the weekend. I was off to a going-away-party for a girl I worked with, and wanted to play with one of my new sleek palettes. I used the sparkle palette and impressed myself with how the look turned out.

Its actually a really simple look and easy to achieve :)

I had already been drinking when I took these photos as I waited for my friends to arrive, apparently I was too unsteady to take any decently focussed photos lol.

Please, pleease, pleeeeease click the images to see the true beauty of these colours! :)

^^ Twinklies ^^ :D
