Purple glitter smokey eye ❤

The last tutorial I did I got amazing feedback so I thought I would do another one this time more gothic and with glitter.  I hope you enjoy reading and find it helpful.

• Before any smokey eye I always do my eyebrows first just so I have a better idea on how my make-up with look complete
• Apply tape from the end of your eyelid to the end of your eyebrow and apply a eye shadow base or colour correcting concealer 
• Apply your usual crease colour lightly, this step may seem pointless but it makes everything look better later
• With a black eye liner pencil roughly liner line your lid and add black to the outer lid, it is hard to explain but you can see it in the picture.

• Blend the eye liner with a brush and it should blend to a light black/grey colour, don't be tempted to rush and add more black straight away just keep on blending until you have a nice transition 
• Once you have fully blended the eye liner slowly add black to the crease and blend, build up colour slowly until you have a solid black and blended crease
• Pack a deep purple eye shadow on your lid, don't worry about fallout that can be cleaned up later
• Blend the deep purple and black together to make it look seamless
• You may thing this all looks a mess right now, trust me it will look fine soon!

• Peel off the tape and clean up all the fall out with make up remover and apply your foundation.  Try and pick a foundation what gives you a flawless finish so all the attention is on your eyes and not any imperfections
• Add a line of glitter glue then purple glitter to your lashline, any fallout can be brushed away
• then the rest is up to you! contour, blush and lipstick is all up to your personal taste but I decided to go with light contour, peach blush and deep purple lipstick with a black lipgloss on top.

Ombre lips tutorial ❤

I have been asked a few times how I do my black and red ombre lips so I thought I would do a little step by step guide in how I do it and what products I used.  

1. cover your lips with your foundation, concealer or lip eraser, this step isn't essential but it may help clean up later on!
2. line your lips with a black lip or eye pencil and add extra black to the corner of my lips
3. apply lipstick straight from the bullet or with a brush and blend the colours together with your lips 
4. clean up is optional! if you want a precise look you can go back with your concealer brush and some concealer and clean up the edges
5. next step is personal choice, I love to add gloss with any ombre look but that is totally up to you.

Products I used;

Jelly Pong Pong 2 in 1 eyeliner & shadow pencil in black

MAC Ruby Woo lipstick 

Gerard Cosmetics lipgloss in Candy Apple

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial, let me know if you try it out!

Splash of Colour ♥

Summer has officially started!! which means one thing and one thing only, colour and lots of it!! I rarely wear colourful clothing so I express myself with my make-up most of the time, now we are in summer I have begun to express myself a little more than usual.

No matter what you are wearing you can add a pop of colour to your make-up. It can be anything from a bright winged liner instead of the normal black/brown eye liner, neon eye shadows, bright lips or cheeks.  It may seem to be daunting to add such a bright colour to your face but when it is done correctly it can look amazing.  

I started off adding brightly coloured eye liners on my bottom waterline and smudging it out, it creates a lovely smoky effect and a pop of colour.  

My current favourite waterline eye liners are;

GOSH velvet touch eye liner in Sky High*

GOSH velvet touch eye liner in Purple Stain* 

MUA intense colour eye liner in Turquoise*

MUA intense glitter eye liner in Jade Jewel*

*can be found at superdrug

I have also been using my much loved Rimmel Scandal Eyes khol eye liner in Nude as a base and applying eye shadow on top. 

Bright colours can be daunting but try creating a bright smoky eye, the jet black cut crease and false lashes make the colours pop.  Start off with a colour what compliments your eye colour/hair colour and when you are more comfortable you can add the rainbow.  When using bright colours be careful with reds and oranges they can bring out the redness and tiredness in your eyes, try using a nude or a black eye liner in the inner waterline to prevent this.  

birthday make-up, tattoo and life update

It was my birthday on the 17th so I thought I would share my make-up, show you a few of my gifts and share with you all what I did to celebrate my 22nd birthday.

Recently I have fallen in love with purple eye liner on my lower waterline, its hard to see on this picture but in person it is a vibrant purple and it complements my eye and hair colour perfectly.  I will not go into depth on what make-up I used as I used alot of new products and full reviews on the products are coming soon.  

As I am not a massive fan of birthdays, particularly this birthday I decided to do something I really wanted to do and getting yet another tattoo was a must for me.  I decided to get my first tattoo covered, I was 16 when I got my first tattoo and it was unsymmetrical and just terrible to be honest.  It needed to be covered with something pretty and I decided to go big or go home!

As you can see it is not finished, I had a totally of three hours in the first sitting and I need another two-three hours more for it to be complete but I'm extremely happy with it.

Before anyone asks me yes getting a tattoo isn't a pleasant feeling but every one has a different pain tolerance. I would describe the feeling as  a scratching, burning sensation and I was fine with handling that feeling for over three hours. 

If anyone in Manchester or the surrounding areas wants details on the tattooist who did my beautiful new tattoo please message me and I will pass on the details.

Life Update!!!

Since I last posted I have changed my appearance a little, I now have a beautiful strawberry blonde wig! Don't worry I'm still ginger at heart ♥ I got yet another Friday the 13th tattoo of Boba Fett because I love Star Wars and I have been playing many new games on my Xbox One! I'm sure if you follow me on Twitter you will know all of this, FYI my Twitter is @CloeAnne_

Lots of new reviews are coming soon!
