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!

Quick and Easy Glamorous Look.

Its nearly Friday Night and as i usually work Fridays i get home late and if i have something planned such as a party or a night out i need a really easy and quick make up look that wont look too rushed! These are some simple, easy to follow steps that could help you in a rush. Enjoy!


For this look i will be using only a small sample of products, this photo shows the products i have used. 
(From top left to bottom right)
1. Benefit cream shadow - Skinny Genes
2. MUA 'undress me too' Palette
3. MUA Harry Kiss You Lipstick
4. Rimmel Glam'eyes Eyeliner
5. Rimmel Scandal Eyes Retro Look Mascara


 1. I first apply 'Naked' from my MUA palette. 
2. I apply my Benefit Creme Shadow in 'Skinny Jeans' with a flat faced brush. This will create a base for my next shadows to stick too.
3. With my Duo - Fibre Real Techniques brush i apply 'Lavish' to the crease and place 'Corrupt' to the outer corner of the eye.
4. With my Rimmel Glam'eyes liner i create a winged cat eye 
5.Then wear the Rimmel Scandal Eyes Retro Look Mascara.

This look for the eyes is really easy and will last the night because of the base of creme shadow. To pull any quick or unfinished look together is really easy by adding a bright red lipstick to add the glamorous factor! I've chosen the Harry Lipstick from the new one direction range available from Superdrug or online, mainly because this is truly a really good lipstick and lasts all day. Hope you enjoyed this post, a little different to usual but oh well.
