Youtube Inspiration #4: Sharon Farrell

Another inspiration of mine on Youtube is Sharon Farrell. I've only just discovered her in the last couple of months but she has a nice variety of tutorials, from Beauty Icons, Celebrities, basic makeup tutorials & improvised tutorials that she makes up on the spot. This one day I decided to try her Teal & Gold Peacock Eyes , well this is actually again my second attempt, as I had (again) forgotten exactly how she had done it the first time! She used some amazing MAC eyeshadows in hers so I had to try and match it as well as I could! Where I've listed what I used I added her products (next to them).

Face | Rimmel Wake Me Up + Stay Matte powder, NARS Laguna, MAC Lightscapade, Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso
Eyes | Chi Chi pencil eyeliner in Caribbean Queen [as a base, ended up creasing a bit] (MAC Minted)
 Makeup Geek e/s Mermaid [1: Lid] (MAC Steamy)
Bh Cosmetics Day & Night palette [2: Crease, lower lash line] (MAC Tilt)
Skin tone colour from same palette. [Blending]
Day & Night dark blue mixed with MAC Contrast [3: Outer V] (Deep Truth)
Sleek Storm palette, Gold [4: inner lash line top & bottom] (MAC Woodwinked)
Black E/S pressed as eyeliner, E/S #2 over the top for blue eyeliner.
Shimmery White [Highlight]
Maybelline The Falsies Flared
Lips | Maybelline Coral Crush (No idea why I chose it, but I like it with the eyes anyway)

Sharon's look. I wish my blues turned out as vibrant as hers, but I think it still looks ok! Now I really want  need Steamy & Deep Truth.

If you would like to, check out Sharon's Youtube channel here. She seems like such a lovely lady & she is an Irish girl living in Sydney, hence her accent!

Thanks for reading another Youtube Inspiration post, stay tuned for more!

Youtube Inspiration #3: Shaaanxo

So by now it's probably no secret that I love Shaaanxo from Youtube. I love her style and wish I could keep my makeup looking so polished from day to day. What I've done here is not a recreation but actually an inspiration, using similar products from brands she likes & colours she would use.

Please ignore my bad hair day, I ended up just sticking it up in a bun for the day. I wish I could get right into the recreation by doing my hair or dressing a similar way, but it's all mostly just what I've done in the morning to get ready for work, so I never have time.

The lip colour here is more accurate compared to the pictures with flash, which make it look almost more lilac-y

 Face | Rimmel Wake Me Up, Rimmel Stay Matte powder, Nude By Nature Eye Definer {Contour} Nars Laguna Bronzer (a fave of hers), The Balm Cabana Boy
Eyes  | MAC Paintpot in Bare Study, Stila Kitten Eyeshadow {Lid}, MAC Satin Taupe {crease, lower lash line}, Naked 2: Tease {Blend out Satin Taupe slightly}, Blackout {Outer V, slightly}, Foxy + Bootycall {mixed together, highlight}. NP Set black liquid eyeliner, Nyx Wonder pencil, Bourjois Volume Fast & Perfect mascara.

Lips   | Wet n Wild Mega Last Lipstick in Dollhouse Pink {meant to be a dupe for St Germain which is another fave of hers}

This is obviously not the look I was going for, but she wears many makeup looks very well!

I think most beauty-obsessed girls would know about Shaaanxo! What do you think of her makeup style? Although I like how mine turned out, I think that no matter how differently I try to do my eyeshadow, it always looks the same! Because my crease isn't as defined like hers what I do will  look different than how it would on her.

Youtube Inspiration #2 | Lilpumpkinpie05 Tropical Paradise Eyes

Lilpumpkinpie05 or Jackie O, aka Makeup Game On Point on facebook is an amazing MUA on youtube with an awesome, fun personality  and she makes you feel a part of her tutorials. I've recently mentioned her in another recent look but I wanted to do another one specifically for this series.
She does some amazing makeup looks but I have recently recreated her Tropical Paradise eye look, which is actually my second attempt since my first one just came out as my same old peacock eyes as I forgot exactly what she did so it turned out the same as my others.

 Face | I am still using my Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation with my Rimmel Stay Matte powder, and I contoured with my Nars Laguna Bronzer & highlighted with MAC's Cream Colour Base in Pearl & MAC Lightscapade. For blush I wore Bourjois 16 Rose blusher over Nyx's Stick blush in Tulip.

Eyes | After priming I used Maybelline's Colour Tattoo in Tenacious Teal all over the lid & along the lower lash line. Over that I used Sugarpill's Loose Pigment in Darling on 3/4 on the eyelid with a damp brush and then I went in with Inglot AMC 68 on the other 1/4 of the lid staying underneath the crease. To define the crease I mixed Inglot's 439 with a darker purple from the Bh Cosmetics Day & Night palette and also applied it on the lower lash line and blended out the crease with a nude & a hot pink from the D&N palette as well. In the inner corner I applied a light green eyeshadow pigment that I bought from eBay & highlighted the brow bone. And then I finally lined my eyes with Maybelline Master Precise eyeliner & a Bourjois Kohl & Contour eye pencil in the waterline, and finished with mascara.

Lips |Nyx lip liner in Mauve, MAC Myth lipstick with Nyx butter gloss in Apple Strudel.

Overall I like how mine turned out but it's obviously not exactly the same, I wish the green was a bit brighter and used a matte purple in the crease with a more defined line that would have been more like hers.

My inspiration!

Anyway I hope you like this look and that you go and have a look at her videos.... No affiliation but I hope y'all go to check out her talent if you haven't already!

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!

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

Glamorous Purple & Gold

 I did this makeup for a friends party 2 weeks ago and I just wanted something glamorous (the theme was beauty & the geek so you know what I went as ;)) & lately I've been obsessed with highlighting the middle of the lid, I'm sure you'll see in many upcoming posts!
 When I first saw the inspiration pic (I will post it down below) I knew exactly which main eye shadows I wanted to use which is why I really wanted to do it hehe.
So without further adieu..

Eeep, with these falsies because they're so thick, you can easily see the mistakes. I think its just the way they're sitting although I did try to push them up.

I look like a bitch! Haha I'm sorry :). When I have to take pictures at night the lighting in the bathroom is the best for not using flash but I have to look up to the light.

Face
Australis Paparazzi Perfect foundation (Nude)
15 Concealer palette (also to contour)
Nyx Cream blush in Glow
MAC Peachykeen with Milani Baked blush in Fantasico Mauve
Nyx Taupe Blush

Eyes
Nyx JEP in Milk
Sugarpill Loose Eyeshadow in Hysterics, applied to the inner & outer corner, also the same for the lower lash line.
MUG e/s in Wisteria blended in the crease
Sleek Rebel from the Bad Girl Palette in the outer corner of lid + lower lash line
Sleek Noir again from same palette in the outer v and to set eyeliner
Fyrianne Pixie Epoxy in the middle of the lid only
Sugarpill Goldilux on middle of lid + lower lash line
MUG e/s in Shimma Shimma to highlight
BYS Gel eyeliner
Red Cherry Lashes- number 71 I think?

Lips
Revlon Matte L/S in Smoked Peach + Nyx Smokey Look L/G

 And of course, the inspiration thanks from a lovely lady at Makeup Alley.

Thanks so much for loooking!!<3 xxx I hope you've all had a good weekend.

Exotic Fish Makeup Look

 I was inspired by one of the girls on a makeup board, whose makeup reminded me of an exotic fish, hence the title lol, so I took those colours and had a play. I did this 2 times, one was a play around that took me 5 minutes on a Sunday night and the other was a more wearable version.

 This was the play around one, as you can see it's not perfect, especially the lower lash line. I do love the brows though and intend to wear them coloured out one time haha.

 This is how I wore it out. I toned down the lower lashline & the colours in the crease to make it more wearable & of course had my normal eyebrow colour lol but it was still a lot of fun to wear.

Nyx JEP in Milk
All colours from the 120 palette, except the black is from the Sleek Bad Girl Palette
BYS Gel eyeliner
Nyx White pearl as a highlight.

Blush: Nyx glow cream, topped with Revlon Hushed Blush in A Floral Affair
Lipstick: Elizabeth Arden (I cannot find it to retrieve the name, sorry!!)

Next time I will add another colour into the waterline because it looks a bit bare to me. It would also look great with Falsies.

Please go here to "love" this on Makeupgeek.com

Thanks for looking, I hope you like it!!

Futuristic Cut Crease?

Woohoo I can finally honestly say I was happy with how this look turned out! I would definitely do this look again for clubbing or maybe even new years, I would probably add some glitter & it would be good to go. Also I think it this goes with any outfit.

So I was inspired by this tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fq-lEu73GI&feature=channel_video_title, & I thought it would be harder to get my eyes even but I got it fairly quickly. It doesn't matter if it is not perfect anyway because as they say "eye's are sisters not twins."

Eyes:
Lid: Stila Kitten. Also a tiny bit on the middle of the lower lash line (lll)
The lightest colour from Barbie <3 Stila from brow bone to crease (help with blending).
Crease: Nyx JEP Black Bean with an angled eyeliner brush and on the lll.
Black from 28 palette blended with a pencil brush over top of Black Bean.
A little bit of the black from the same Stila palette on the lll.
Maybelline Eye Allure Eyeliner.
CG Lash Blast Fusion
Japanese Eyelashes.

Cheeks: I think a tiny bit of E.L.F Fuschia Fusion

Lips: Maybelline Color sensational l/s in Party Pink on the outside with Mac Hue on the inside.

At first I was going to leave the lower lash line alone but it didn't look complete, so I started with one eye & it didn't look that good until I defined my lower eyelashes.This look is also a must for falsies, I got asked if it was just mascara or was I wearing falsies hahah. At least they are not noticeable :P

So that's it! I hoped that everyone had a lovely Christmas & Boxing day with their families and I hope y'all have a great new years!!!

Brigitte Bardot take 2; Day to Night look.

 Every now & then I check my stats & the one post that is always up the top is this Brigitte Bardot inspired makeup look I did a while back, although I cringe now but I feel that I have improved a lot, especially with my skin. :).

Day

My hair looking lush, with a bit of help.

On the eyes I used Nyx chrome white pearl e/s with a bit of Stila Kitten all over the lid with Satin Taupe in the crease for definition & blended out with a lighter brown.
Eyeliner is Maybelline Eye studio liquid e/l (I think thats the name), however I dun goofed it up :(
Cheeks are looking like NYX pinky blush & lips are a mixture of Revlon Nude Attitude & CG lip perfection in kiss (love this combo! Revlon NA helps take out some of the frostiness of kiss)

Only just a few more pageview's for all time. haha

Night
Had a party to go to & I had the worst time getting ready (burnt cheek while doing my hair, lots of frustration) but after all that trouble we didn't even stay for long. Ohwells.

 

Got my bitch face on. Whoops! I did my hair in a rush so it looks like crap.

So I prettymuch intensified the eyeliner with some of Fyrinnaes Immortal E/S, a gorgeous black glitter which reflects different colours. Its a bit hard to tell with these pics though. I used NYX black bean JEP on the lower lash line, & I used tape this time to get a sharper edge since I brought it out more & obviously used falsies. I used the same ones as I did with my first BB look (sadly, this was their last look with them, they died after I tried to look after them :( )
On my cheeks looks like NYX peach & Lips are NYX soft matte lip cream in Tokyo. Which made my lips look painfully dry in this look.

SO I know it is pretty much exactly the same as my first look but its a look I won't get sick of coz I think its super sexy.
