Summery & Red

This is a look I LOVE for a summer night out, especially when I had long hair and could pile up in a topknot.
Oh how I miss my hair, boohoo!

Shimmery gold eyes, matte skin - as matte as my oil slick of a face will go anyway, eyeliner flicks, peachy cheeks and loads of yummy orangey red gloss on my lips.

Tan - optional. Summer weather - urgently required.

For my eyes I applied Illamasqua's Furore Pigment all over my lids using a wet brush then Heroin Eye Shadow blended into the crease. Heroin is such a versatile product and my favourite product for contouring cheek bones and around the eyes. Great name too. I used Illamasqua's Gel Liner with a fine brush to create the eyeliner flicks and defined my brows with Illamasqua's Eyebrow Cake in Thunder.

I used YSL's Le Teint Touche foundation, YSL Touche Eclat over my dark circles, MAC Studio Finish Concealer under my eyes & over my many blemishes and set with MAC Prep & Prime Translucent Powder.

I mixed Illamasqua's Lover & Hussey Blushers to create the peachy flush and for my lips I used Maybeline's Coral Tonic lipstick & Electric Orange.

Day 4 of my red lip week for #TheRedLippyProject which is raising awareness for cervical cancer screening with The Eve Appeal Charity over. I'm thinking fun, glittery red lips tomorrow. Stay Tuned.

Yay, the sun is here!

After a very long winter we've had a week of glorious sunshine. Me & Molly have made the most of it by getting out everyday and today we met a friend across London which meant very little time for make up.

So, my LOTD (look of the day) is a natural & easy one. Just foundation (mixture of Illamasqua Skin base, YSL Touch Eclat foundation & L'Oreal Apricot CC cream), liquid liner (Illamasqua Havoc Precicion Ink), Mascara (Max Factor False Lash Effect), A bit of blush (Sugarbomb by Benefit) and a lip balm.

I mix my foundations to get the right shade and consistency. Sometimes I like more coverage but during the day, particularly when it's sunny I only want a light base.

My brows are in urgent need of attention. I had to push my waxing appointment back by a week and am desperate to pluck and straighten them up but must resist!

I don't look very sunny n this pic do I? I ripped the scarf and cardi off as soon as I stepped outside!

Molly on the other hand, looks super sunny & smiley in her pic of the day! Shame we have rain forecast over the weekend.
