Thick Liner & Lavender!

Hey Ladies,
Last week I was flicking through my collection and I noticed one of my lipsticks Up The Amp by MAC, was missing...Shock Horror! With a quick rummage through my sister's make up bag, my fav lipper was recovered. Typical!

As this lipstick is quite bright for my skin tone I don't like to do too much of a dramatic eye look. So I settled for slightly thicker eye liner, similar to that of the gorgeous Audrey Hepburn. That has been my inspirational look over the last two week and I have just been wearing a simple eye and lip combo with minimal cheek colour but with thick liner as you can see by the second look below!

 The second look which is really simple with minimal colour but a thick liner is very Audrey! It's not only quick and simply but can be worn for work or play.

My make-up in these photos is the usual deal with the exception of Up The Amp lipstick by MAC

Hope you like!
Love,
S

Reverse Flick

Hey Ladies,
One of my favourite techniques that the girls in MAC use is a reverse flick. It is such a simple technique that is so useful when you want to change a neutral look/everyday look into something more interesting. It draws your attention straight to the eyes, makes you look more awake and makes it appear that you have HUGE eyes.

All you have to do is take an angled brush and using a dark brown similar to the darkest colour in your crease and draw a short line from the very corner of your lower lash line towards your nose, connecting it to the colour running along your lower lash line.

Simples. 


Here is some pictures that will give you a better idea....

 Here is the same look, but on a different day...

As you can see this look draws your eyes straight into the eye area. You can add a bit of a highlight into that corner like I have and it really gives that wide-eye effect. Have you ever tried this look?

Love,
S
