Easy Makeup Tutorial

Quick and easy look that you can create in 8 simple steps.

 

STEPS

1) Apply a white shimmery eye shadow all over the eye lid, right up to the brow bone.

2) Then apply a dark (plum is ideal for this look) shadow on the outer corner of the eye and slightly in the crease, to almost create a ‘<’ shape on the outer edge of your eye to open it up.

3) Then you can take a little of the lighter orange/red shade and blend this in and over the top of the plum shade to add more colour into the look.

4) Using a smaller brush, take more of the dark plum and blend this underneath the lower lash line.

5) Use any Gel Eyeliner Pencil in Black and draw a small line above the top and bottom lash line (this doesn’t have to be neat – see next step!)

6) Then take the small brush again and softly run it over the black eyeliner to soften and smudge it, to create a smoky look.

7) Apply mascara!

8) Finally, line your waterline (top and bottom) with that same pencil liner!

Simple!

**TREND ALERT** Studs & Spikes

Studs and spikes are everywhere at the moment and being featured in a lot of next seasons releases.

Studs and spikes used to be a mainstay of 80s punk, but these days so many niche trends have crossed over to the mainstream with designers like Balmain, Isabel Marant, Givenchy, Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen, Alexander Wang and Chloe featuring plenty of hardware in their collections.

Here are some inspiration style pics I’ve come across recently!

 

 

 

Tip: Sometimes a subtle stud or spike can really accent an outfit or bring it up to trend.

Wrap up in a luxe and ultra-glam faux fur coat. Fur coats are a timeless, classic cover up option for winter. They are the perfect blend of cosy, practical and oh so glamorous.

Burgundy Lips

Whether you prefer to call it oxblood, bordeaux, burgundy or wine, this dark red color is impossible to avoid over the season. It’s been seen just about everywhere, ranging from clothes to accessories- and now even to makeup.

Burgundy can be worn by anyone. Many women with darker skin tones look fantastic in it, while the palest of the pale can also pull it off. It's the kind of color that can easily be worn if used moderately — with burgundy, a lot goes a long way.

 

Recommended: Try burgundy lipstick with a simple base. Lips become a standout when no extra blush or bronzer is added and the eye makeup is kept to a minimum.

Get fit in 2013!!!

Happy 2013!!!

After the holidays and all that turkey and beverages, we find ourselves out of shape and with no motivation at all.

But behind all that, there is hope: New Year, New You!!

Get back on track with a plan that works for you. From 10 minutes workout plans to gym memberships - do what works for you and your lifestyle.

We all lack on motivation and we can get a little too tired (fed up to be more precise) of the same exercise everyday, so I've decided to share some tips on How to get your butt out of bed.

• Make a to-do list;
• Buy some new workout clothes & shoes;
• Set the alarm to remind you it's time to get sweaty;
• Listen to your favourite pump it up tracks (you will be out of bed instantly);
• Get a friend to join you.

If you stick to this plan and use it on a daily basis, I guarantee you won't be lacking on motivation and your energy levels will be going though the roof!

Remember: It's all about being healthy.

Montly Favourites

Hey everyone,

This new topic is all about my monthly favourites. This can be anything from fashion to entertainment.

Today I decided to share my favourite song for the past month. I have been listening to it over and over again and I just can't get enough of it!!

The lyrics are so powerful and it's just the perfect melody. I love this duet between Labrinth and Emily Sande. Let's not forget that these are also two of the biggest artists in the UK.

Have a fabulous day.
