How to: Winged Eyeliner

22/2/2017

0 Comments

 
I have recently made a video on how to do winged eyeliner! I try and explain it as much as I can but winged liner is a style that you have to constantly practise and find out which technique works for you best. Everyone has different eye shapes so winged liner will work better on some than others.

One thing I would say about liner is that it's so hard to get it perfect! Honestly you could spend hours trying to get both sides even, so don't beat yourself up about it. Even the professionals can't get it perfect on both sides! This is mainly because your eyes are not the same on both sides. One of my eye is more hooded than the other so I find it harder to do liner on the more hooded side. I find that although you may notice it is a tiny bit uneven others won't. You see things on yourself that others wouldn't even notice, so be kind to yourself!

The best products I suggest to use for a winged eyeliner is:

- Kat Von D Tattoo Liner ( it has amazing pay off, and has a really fine nib so you can do a very thin liner)
- Inglot AMC liner (most amazing gel liner you can find on the market! It is so dark black & matte which you really want in an eyeliner and it is also waterproof. It lasts so long on the eyes and applies beautifully aswell! It even goes over glitter great, which I find very rare in a gel liner)
- Stila Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner (I love this one because it is waterproof and lasts very long on the eyes. Its nib is a bit thicker than the Kat Von D one so if you like a thicker liner/wing this one would be perfect! It is so easy to use aswell)
- Zoeva Angled Brush (Perfect brush to go with your gel liner to create the most beautiful wing)

I love animals and hate that some countries still test on them so I thought I would do a cruelty free makeup tutorial to show you all how easy it is to do a full face using only cruelty free products.

One of my goals in 2017 is to use more cruelty free brands and step away from brands that test of animals. Some of my favourite brands are cruelty free include Nars, Urban Decay, Kat Von D, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Too Faced, and Becca. If you are unsure about if a brand is cruelty free then you can check out this website ... http://www.crueltyfreekitty.com/list-of-cruelty-free-brands/. 

Products used in the tutorial:
Nars Creamy Concealer
Nars Translucent Pressed Powder
Kylie Cosmetics Burgundy Palette
Prima Makeup Pressed Glitter in 'Copper Kettle'
Illamasqua Eyeshadow in 'Obsidian' 
Charlotte Tilbury Mascara
Becca Shimmering Skin Perfecter in 'Moonstone'
Eylure False Eyelashes
Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation
Urban Decay Naked Skin Concealer
Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit
Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder 'Medium'
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder 'Luminous Light'

Faded Cut Crease & Huda Beauty 'Bombshell' Liquid Lipstick

11/1/2017

1 Comment

 
I have just uploaded a new makeup video to YouTube! I did a half cut crease with a pinkish nude lip using the Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Lip in "Bombshell'. I recently bought this liquid lipstick and had to try it out straight away! I did use quite a lot of different eye shadow colours which wasn't really necessary if you want to recreate the look, I was just being very extra.
This time I skipped showing the majority of the face makeup just because whilst I was filming I didn't have too much storage left and I mainly wanted to show how I did the eyes.

-Products I used-
Anastasia Beverly Hills Eyeshadow - Birkin
Morphe Eyeshadow - Fiesta
Makeup Geek - Cocoa Bear, Mocha & Cherry Cola
Colourpop - Paisley & Weenie
MAC Soft Ochre Paint Pot
Tarte Clay Paint Liner
Huda Beauty Lashes in 'Scarlett'
Make Up For Ever HD Ultra Foundation - Y245
LA Girl Pro Conceal 
Maybelline Fit Me Concealer
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural
Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Lip in 'Bombshell'

Hope you enjoyed the video <3

Very excited to announce that I have recently made a YouTube Channel! I am starting with 'Client Tutorials' to show you all how to achieve flawless looks.

​I wanted to do makeup on others rather than myself so you can see a range of faces and understand what look may suit you most. I will be doing makeup on clients with a range of skin tones, different face & eye shapes to really help you figure out how to adapt the skills I am showing you to create amazing looks on yourself! I want to do a range of natural looks to more heavy and dramatic so there is something for everybody. I may start to do some on myself but I mainly want to focus it on me showing you how I do makeup on others. 

Hopefully by watching it you will pick up some tips and techniques! You will also get a better look of what products I use in my kit and how I use all my different brushes.

Please go check out my videos by clicking on the button down below and subscribe to my channel if you would like to see more!
