FOTD's Abroad | Complilation

So I didn't always go to the effort of doing my makeup, as when you're on holiday you usually like to keep it simple, like during the day time I would keep it to a minimum especially in the hotter climates where it would just sweat off.

Here are mainly some of the night time looks I would wear out, testing out my new products. I'm going to put down a brief product description so please let me know if you want to know anything specifically!

*skin is looking photoshopped only on my blogger & not in my photo editor which is really weird because it's not*

I had my makeup done by a freelance makeup artist who was working for NARS for the day, so I don't know exactly everything she used. I do wish she tried the Smudge Proof eyeshadow base as you can tell the eyeshadow had creased on me as she layered quite a few cream & powder products & the radiant cream concealer. She used the Tinted moisturizer & the Boy's Don't Cry LE blush & also The Multiple in Copacabana.

5

Eyes: Too Faced Pretty Rebel palette { Jailbird, Badass, Charming, Miss Sparkles }

Face: Nars Sex Appeal blush, My foundation was way too dark because I got matched wrongly with the MAC Face & Body foundation so ignore that, MAC Prolongwear concealer

Elegant Night Time Smoky Look | FOTN

I loved wearing this on a night out for an elegant smoky eye look, I basically copied it from Lilpumpkinpie05 on Youtube from her Mila Kunis Smoky eye look which I have admired for a while now & I would say it is a relatively easy go-to glam look.
Oh & is any body else having trouble with some photos looking squished when uploaded to blogger through your computer files? Anyway I hope you like this, thanks for looking!

My hair was a bit of a fail, I've recently gotten a new hair straightener that I got through a sale (post coming soon) and was trying to create waves but it wasn't going in my favour but I still don't mind how it turned out, I like the messy look anyway!

Taken before I was finished with the eyelashes, hair & outfit.

Face | Australis Paparazzi Perfect foundation mixed with Garnier BB Cream, The Balm Time Balm concealer in light, Nars Laguna bronzer, MAC Lightscapade highligher, MAC Peachykeen blush
Eyes | First I used tape on the outer corner for a sharper edge, Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil in Black Bean {lid}, Urban Decay Naked 1: Creep {Outer v into crease}, Naked & Buck {blending} Toasted {lid}, Smog {lower lashline}, Naked 2: Verve {pressed with finger on center of lid} Foxy {brow bone} Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil in Cottage Cheese with Urban Decay's Bootycall, {inner corner highlight}
 Maybelline Master Precise eyeliner, Nyx Eyebrow Cake Powder, Maybelline The Falsies mascara, Carie lashes.
Lips | Revlon matte lipstick in Smoked Peach, Nyx Glam Lipgloss Aqua Luxe in VIP (unfortunately this must have fallen out of my bag when I was out! I'm always so paranoid if I bring makeup out I try to make sure it's cheap and easy to rebuy if I need to!)

So I really loved how this turned out and I think it would look so nice for any night time occasion,
I also would have taken an outfit picture if I had decent lighting at night time but it is a tight fitting nude dress with a lace overlay and sort of like a tank-top type sleeves (bad way to describe but you can kind of see anyway).

What is your go-to glam eye?
Thanks for looking!! xx

Copy Cat Makeup // Dramatic Coloured FOTN

Is it fair to say I was "inspired" by Misschievious on Youtube when I pretty much copied her drugstore makeup tutorial? And although I was drooling over the Sleek Lagoon palette she used, I knew I would have plenty of similar colours I could substitute them for. I love using a darker base underneath bright colours for a bright but smoky look, as done in my Jewel Smoky Eye Makeup, as it brings them out differently compared to a lighter base.

And although this was a bored-on-a-saturday-night-playing-with-makeup-look it wasn't a waste of makeup as we ended up going out in the end. Nothing worse when you do your makeup perfectly and then nothing happens!

Ignore the eyelash giving me a lazy eye!

~Products
Face: Australis Paparazzi Perfect Foundation Nude, Rimmel Wake Me Up Soft Beige, Nars Laguna, MAC Lightscapade, Ingot blush #51
Eyes: MAC Painterly Paintpot, Essence Ballerina Backstage eye souffle [black, base], Nyx Base White [base for inner corner & higher in the crease] next as pictured;
1- random ebay pigment [coral, inner corner],
2- Bh Cosmetics Day & Night [dark indigo purple, outer corner],
3- Day & Night [teal, lower lashline],
4-Inglot AMC 60 [yellow, inner browbone],
5- Day & Night [mixed together, middle of lid].
Maybelline Master Precise, BYS Gel liner [waterline]. Manicare False Lashes.
Lips: Totally a guess, but I am pretty sure it is BYS Champagne Rain

Slightly altered, same as first pic but contrast upped.

In case you are wondering, I wore the same outfit pictured here, as you can see with the 2nd skirt & the peplum top. I found this perfect for this night, as it had been raining almost all day, but by this time it had stopped so it was actually quite humid so I did not get that horrible hot & sweaty feeling.

As I always say thank you for viewing, all of your comments mean so much to me. I appreciate all of my followers, old & new, so don't be afraid to let me know if you're following me & I will checkout your blog in return! xxx

Day To Night Makeup // Ft Wet n Wild Vanity Palette + Swatches

I love posting day to night makeup looks, mainly because there are only a few elements that you need to change in order from it going to a wearable day time look to a sexy & smoky night time eye. Here I am "showcasing" the Wet n Wild Vanity palette. The decision to go out this night was last minute so I didn't have time to completely change it up so it was easy to intensify what I had on from the day.

 Day

 To me this day look is quite boring, not enough definition in the outer v, I kept the lower lash line almost bare with just a bit of eyeliner in the waterline & the eyeliner is not dark enough, personally. But it looked nice with the glowy cheeks & lips. Maybe I shouldn't say boring but it doesn't do anything special for me.
I am really sorry but I cannot remember what I am wearing on the rest of my face! Apart from the usual foundation/ highlight/ bronzer.

Night

As I mentioned I didn't have too much time to change it up. Whenever I apply over old makeup I always reapply my primer which acts sort of like a cleanser in a way, and nothing cakes up. I even used my eye primer over the eyes & reapplied the eyeshadow for more colour. I did the usual winged eyeliner & also applied eyeliner on the lower lashline & waterline unblended for a more dramatic look. Add more more mascara & it's complete. I also kept under my eyes highlighted & started contouring from the temple to leave the highlight more defined.

~Products
Face: Models Prefer illuminizer, Australis Paparazzi Perfect foundation, Rimmel Wake Me Up, Garnier BB Cream (I do these all over my face & blend with my Real Techniques buffing brush for a flawless finish) Maybelline Age Rewind concealer, set with Palladio Rice powder. NARS Laguna, MAC Lightscapade. MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Warm Soul, Nars Orgasm
Eyes: MAC Painterly Paintpot, Vani-t Shadestick [light gold], Wet n Wild Vanity Palette: Gold [lid], Bronze [outer lid], Soft brown [crease] Dark brown [outer v, crease] Matte skintone [highlight, blending] Shimmery highlight [inner corners]. Maybelline Master Precise Eyeliner. Bourjois Kohl & Contour pencil e/l with BYS Gel eyeliner.
Lips: Bourjois Levres Contour pencil #11, Nyx Black Label Lipstick in Nude, Nyx Glam Lipgloss Aqua Luxe in VIP

Swatches

The Wet n Wild Vanity palette offers 6 brown/ gold toned shades perfect for any neutral & wearable look. All swatches are done over Nyx's Base in White as I would always use them over the top of any kind of sticky base. I patted them on with a brush to get ultimate pigmentation, so be aware if you were to swatch it without any base it would not show up as pigmented.

Starting from the 1st row, top to bottom:
Left:
-A pinkish skin coloured base, good for blending or as a highlight. Meant to be similar to MAC Brule
-A mid toned soft brown good for in the crease or to blend out. Similar to UD Buck.
-A darker brown good for defining the lash line or outer v. Meant to be very similar to MAC Handwritten
Right:
 -A vanilla toned light shimmery highlight colour. Similar to MAC Shroom?
-Gold, beautiful lid colour. Similar to UD Half Baked
-Bronze-brown, a nice pair with the gold. In between UD Darkhorse & Smog.
 The left side has a matte finish and the right side is shimmery, if you couldn't tell by the swatches.

I have been (up until now) using the darker matte & soft brown colours to fill in my eyebrows as I have almost finished the brown from my Sleek Storm palette but now I have my NYX eyebrow kit.

How do you take your makeup from day to night?

Thank you for looking, as always!

My actual V-day Makeup //Day To Night

I know it's almost been 2 weeks but as long as it's still February, right? (I always seem to be late, lol!)
But I still wanted to share my day-to-night makeup that I wore on Valentines day/ night.... because I can! Not that I need one day out of the whole year as an excuse to wear pink ;)

~Day

As you can see I kept everything in the colour family, starting with my eyes using mainly Inglot, my cheeks & my lips, but I didn't want an actual pink lipstick, this is more on the purple side which matches half of my eyelid!

Products
Face: Rimmel Wake Me Up, Garnier BB Cream.
Nars Laguna Bronzer,
ELF HD blush in Headliner, Nyx Blush in Peach
Eyes: MAC Painterly Paintpot, Nyx Eye Base in White
Inglot AMC Shine 39 [light pink, inner lid, lower lashline], AMC 74 [purpley-pink, outer lid, lower lashline], DS 460 [crease, light brown],  P 393 [highlight]. Maybelline Master Precise Eyeliner, Nyx JEP in Milk [waterline], La Splash Miami Beach [lower lashline]. Essence I <3 Extreme Volume mascara.
Lips: Inglot lipstick #253.

Night~

As natural as the light could get.

Products
Face: Same foundation as earlier but reapplied heavier. Same bronzer & highlighter.
Bourjois blush in #54 
Eyes: Basically the same Inglot eyeshadows used during the day reapplied on the eyelid and blackout from the UD Naked 2 palette in the Outer V blended with the same crease colour as before. Pixie Epoxy on the outer half of the lid & La Splash Miami Beach glitter. Ardelle Demi Wispie falsies.
Lips: Bourjois lip liner in #11, but I think the lipstick was a mixture of a few colours.. Nyx Black Label lipstick in Nude & Revlon Colourburst lipstick in Candy Pink was it, I think!

 

What I wore out to dinner with the Fiance, I got this dress from ozsale a while ago and it was my first time wearing it and the top part was super itchy but I ended up forgetting about that soon... I had such a frustrating time getting ready as it was humid as hale and nothing seemed to be going right and then when I was getting out of the car, the door slammed into my arm because of the wind so I had a sore arm for the whole night... but the rest of it was good :)

Thanks for looking, although this is a late post! xxx
