It's a green day

After a going purple crazy yesterday I thought I'd try a green look today.

I used to wear green a lot but I think maybe I got tired of it or started to feel it was a bit obvious for brown eyes, so haven't worn it for ages.

I brought a green metalic liquid eyeliner by BarryM yesterday so built the look around that, using different shades of green on my lids, in my socket and under my eyes then lifting the look by adding a wash of a warm brown across my brow bone. 

I did try the look with a glossy orange lip colour which you can see in the bottom pic but, as usual, I wiped it off and went with a nude gloss. I really like it (the top pic) as there is still a hint of orange on my lips under the gloss.

I'll definitely be wearing green again, especially the liner which is a pretty forest green colour with added shimmer as it's metallic. Plus cheap as chips (£4.79 in Boots) as it's by BarryM!

Look of the day... Inspired by Leigh Lezarck

Hello lovely readers! I was flicking through Company magazine today and was struck by how gorgeous & totally hot Leigh Lezark looked on the cover. Don't you agree?

I love her sultry, bronzy eyes, contoured cheeks and pink lips so thought I'd create a version of it for my look today.

First, I thought I'd show a pic of me with no make up on for reference. Not a very pretty sight but good to see what a difference a bit of make up makes eh?!

I love the eye make up look but wasn't sure about the pink lips, I think a slightly different shade would have looked better on me but just as I went to change the colour a friend arrived with her toddler in tow to play with my little monster, Molly.

As we were sipping our tea and munching on biscuits, I thought I'd best take the lippy off. Plus, I felt a bit over dressed to be honest. Pink lip removed, I preferred the look with nude lips so when our visitors left I ran upstairs to add a pink lip balm I got a while back from Clinique (Pudgey Peony Chubby Stick) and I love it. What do you think?

Going going... Grunge

For my look of the day I decided to go grunge, inspired by Versace's SS'13 make up.

The idea is to line just the bottom lashes, and to keep the whole look of the eyes quite smokey. That coupled with a heavily contoured face and you have this season's grunge look. I just wish I had the long flowing locks to compliment it!

I'm pretty happy with my attempt but I reckon I could have gone even heavier under my eyes. 

I don't like the lashes I'm wearing though. I find most false lashes are just too long for me (as in lash length not strip length), I have such short stubby lashes, sob sob!

Anyone else have this problem, apart from my mother?! Any ideas for more suitable lashes?
