How to contour!

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

Hope this helped!!

Product Review - Mascara!

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!!!!).

MAC False Lashes $42
YSL Shocking Mascara $52
Benefit They're Real $38
Chantecaille Faux Cils Longest Lash Mascara $100
Christian Dior Diorshow Iconic $38
Maybelline Great Lash Waterproof Mascara $15.95 
Hourglass Film Noir Lash Lacquer $42
Kevyn Aucoin Volume Mascara $40
Kevyn Aucoin Curling Mascara $40

Professional Interview Makeup!



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!!!

HOLIDAY FUN!!!


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.


Hope you enjoy!!! xxx

How to apply false lashes - strip & individual!



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!!!
