Contouring can do amazing things to your facial structure and changes can be made quite easily! You can make it very subtle or quite precise.
Tips to remember:
You can go for a powder or cream base product. Ive used a dark and light foundation Don't go for colours with shimmer in it. Add it later. It will look scary to start with but blend away....you might even had to add more! Things you want to bring out or highlight use a lighter colour For areas you want to shadow or create a hallow use the darker colour
Ive said it before and Ill say it again I am a mascara junkie! I love what it does to our eyes and when you find that magical one its like you've reached the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow....yes that good!!
The ones featured in this video are all tried and tested! When looking for a good mascara I need it to do a few things:
Last throughout the day nicely (obviously!!). Not to flake. Not to smudge. Not to irritate the eye. Ensure it has a nice black creamy formular. The brush needs to separate, curl and lengthen the lash.
The ones featured in my video are below and in Australian dollars (generally $millions more than anywhere else!!!!).

Job interviews are absolutely nerve racking and you want to feel absolutely comfortable in every aspect. Just like preparing what you want to say I also think the makeup you wear on the day plays a huge part. No potential employer wants to see caked on makeup, massive false lashes or bright pink lipstick........unless its a particular job you're going for *wink *wink!!
Hopefully this may prepare you in the makeup department. Keep your nails neat, clean with a soft coloured polish and dont go overboard with the jewellery!!!
I recently had the pleasure of making my way to Bali for a short holiday! It was gorgeous and the weather was perfect.
Im not one to wear a lot of makeup, if any, on holidays as its a time to relax and let your skin breath. Having said that I do enjoy a simple lip or eye on a night out. Below is my holiday makeup before a lovely dinner.
TIPS 1. Choose natural hair lashes 2. If possible select a lash with an invisible backing 3. The glue that comes with the lashes is not the best :( Try Duo glue and when you apply it to the lash ensure you wait a little so the glue goes tacky 4. Feel free to use your fingers or tweezers to apply them 5. Complete your eye makeup and then pop the lashes on. If you need to add a little more liner to conceal anything.......go for it!!!
Ive decided to do at least (I'll try!!!) one product review a a week so every third video. Let me know if thats too much!
Products reviewed:
Shu Uemura Ultime8 Subline Beauty Cleansing Oil - Ive been using this for the last 3 weeks and love it. I was a little sceptical to begin with so I was thrilled when they gave me some samples to try. Instantly my skin felt soft and clean and the fact you can remove your eye makeup with it says a lot! The one I purchased has 8 exquisite oils from botanical origin for ultimate solution to 8 skin benefits powerful yet gentle botanical origin removal system for superb cleansing. Rest assured there are several oils for different skin types.
"shu uemura cleansing oil was developed from the knowledge that mr. uemura gained while working as a foremost hollywood makeup artist in the 1950s. the secret to shu uemura cleansing oil is protecting the skin's delicate balance while removing make-up and impurities in a single step."
Aesop Rosehip Seed Lip Cream - As mentioned in my review I was sick of reapplying lip balm all day long and was in the look out for a moisturising lip cream when I came across this. The lip cream soothes and softens which is ideal in any climate. Valued at $15 you dont need to keep applying and it certainly delivers!!
MAC On The Hunt - As part of the 'Styleseeker' release this duo eye palette is beautiful. I love the colours so much and can be blended effortless. I was able to locate the names of them individually which was great - the bronzy one is called Star Myth and the red bronze is Raving Mand.
Hope you guys enjoyed it and let me know if you have any feed back xo
