My Favorite Fall Trend

Recently in a lot of magazines, videos and on the cat walk I've noticed that there is a growing trend for the fall of heavy under eye make up. I really love this look, its so pretty and makes it possible to really show off the colour on the upper lid.



















Its such an easy look which is possible with all colours of eye liner to match and extenuate any eye colour. So I gave it a shot.

To go along with the fall trend I chose to do a Gold eye look with a heavy black line under the bottom lash line. After a few experimental looks I found that this type of look is a lot easier with Gel liner instead of Pencil or Liquid. As pencil is, for me, quite harsh and insensitive for my lower lash line and liquid was too difficult to control between the skin and the bottom lashes on the lower lash line. Gel liner is also easier to blend than pencil or liquid so is easier to achieve a more smokey look.

Lining the waterline with a very black pencil will also bring the look together and give extra depth on the lower lash line.

I love this look. I love changing my make up look and stepping outside of the normal comfort zones that all my other friends seem to love to stay in. I am most defiantly going to be wearing this look out more regularly, I would defiantly recommend it!

Half face make up

Recently, on YouTube, Nicky - one half of pixiwoo - did a video on doing half face make up to really compare how different products bring out the features in your face. So I thought I would give it a try and these were the results - 


These results were actually quiet shocking for me as it shows how much shape make up gives anyone's face and how much imperfections can be easily covered to boost someone's confidence. I've never been confident in my own skin and would always put on make up to go to the shop or to pop out for 5 minutes, just in case I bump into anyone I know. So putting myself out there on the big wide web with no make up on can be seen as quiet terrifying for me, and I need to change. 
From now on, I'm going to try and be more confident and let my skin breathe from underneath all the make up. Wish me luck.
