This weeks FFF is a request via Twitter to match an outfit that is maroon and green/teal with silver threadwork/beading.

Products used:

Eyes:

> UDPP
> NYX JEP in Milk
> Sleek Monaco & Bad Girl palette - Innocence, Bamboo, Aquamarine, Sunset, Humming Bird, Moors Treasure
> Sleek Au Naturel palette - Noir & Bark
> UD 24/7 eye pencil in Zero
> MAC fluidline in Blacktrack
> Kiko Unforgettable waterproof mascara
> Khuraira ACC in Light
> MAC Studio Finish concealer - NC35
Face:
> Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation in 55
> UD Baked Bronzer in Toasted
Lips:
> UD Super Saturated Lip Color in Apocalypse
> ELF lipstick in Seductive

After priming the eye with UDPP & NYX JEP in Milk I applied Sleek Innocence (from the Bad Girl palette) to the inner corners of the eyes, followed by Sunset (Monaco palette) on the rest of the eyelid. Moors Treasure (Monaco palette) was used in the crease, buffing it upwards slightly, followed by Bamboo (Monaco palette) on the brow bone, blending down into Moors Treasure. Aquamarine and Humming Bird were added to the lower lashline (although the photos have come out looking more mossy green than teal/turquoise!)
Lining the inner eyes with UD 24/7 liner in Zero and I then completed the look with topliner using MAC fluidline and Kiko mascara.
I filled in the brows with Sleek's Bark & Noir from the Au Naturel palette and concealed under the eyes to finish:

For the rest of the face I used Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation in 55 and UD Baked Bronzer in Toasted to keep it neutral on the cheeks; for the lips I used a nude/coral colour (ELF Seductive lipstick):

I also tried a more dramatic berry lip colour (UD SSLC in Apocalypse) to see how it would look:

This look is fairly festive in my opinion, so could be used around Christmas maybe??
Which look do you prefer or like best? Would you wear this look?

Sleek Mistletoe & Tinsel eyes

Here's another Christmassy look that involves using the festive Sleek "Sparkle" palette; its a smoked out look using "Tinsel" (shimmery silver eyeshadow) and "Mistletoe" (shimmery dark green with microglitter sparkle). To be honest, any colour from the palette would suit this look but obviously being the day before Christmas, I chose Mistletoe.

Products used:

> UDPP
> Sleek Sparkle palette - "tinsel" & "mistletoe"
> Sleek Good Girl palette - "raspberry coulis"
> UD 24/7 eyeliner - "zero" & "covet"
> Dior Show mascara in black
> Barry M lip lacquer in No. 1

After applying primer to the whole eye, I started by using Tinsel on the brow bone and shading down a little. I then used the No. 7 blend & contour eyeshadow brush to put Mistletoe all over the eyelid, and blend upwards into the Tinsel, winging it out at the outer corner of the eyes. I then went and added some more Tinsel to the browbone and blended it down some more as the Mistletoe was very dark.
I then lined the eye with Covet, both top and bottom, followed by Zero on the inner waterline of top and bottom lashlines. After applying concealer under the eyes, I finished with Dior Show mascara, using zigzag motions.

For the cheeks I used Raspberry Coulis of the Good Girl palette again, with red Barry M lip lacquer on the lips. I've paired green eyes with red lips for all my Christmas looks but what can I say?! They're the festive colours!

 

Hope you like it and for those celebrating, have a great Christmas!

Christmas look 2

I thought I'd play about with Christmassy colours, so I chose to use gold green & red for this look.. alternatively I guess it could be used to represent flag colours for either one of these countries with the same colours!: click here!

Here's the products used for this look:

> Bare Minerals foundation - medium beige
> UDPP
> Manly palette
> UD 24/7 eyeliner in "covet" & "zero"
> Dior Show mascara (forgot to add to pic!)
> MAC select moisturecover concealer in NC35
> Clinique blusher in "sunset glow"
> Natural Collection lipstick in "crimson"
> Barry M lip gloss wand in "cherry"

For this look I used all the shimmery colours.. festive looks have to have some shine to them, whether glitter or shimmer! I opted for shimmer as the glitter was going to be on the lips. I started by buffing on Bare Minerals foundation onto my face in Medium Beige.
For the eyes, first I started by applying a golden yellow from the Manly palette to the inner corner of the eyes as well as under the brows, followed by a shimmery green to the middle and end of the eyelid (using the MO eye shading brush) and blending the golden yellow with the green. I then used the No 7 blend & contour brush to add a little bit of shimmery red above the outer corner of the eyes, winging it out a little, and blending upwards into the gold underneath the eyebrows. I added gold to the rest of the eye area, blending into the green and reds, to make it less harsh. For the lower lashline I used a thin wet brush to add the golden eyeshadow colour in an upwards stroke along the lashline, followed by UD Covet eyeliner on the lower waterline. For the top liner I used Covet again, with Zero on top, for a dark green/black liner. After applying under eye concealer, I used Dior Show mascara on top and bottom lashes.

For the cheeks I used Clinique Sunset Glow, and for the lips I used Natural Collection lipstick in Crimson, followed by Barry M's glittery red lip gloss - Cherry. Unfortunately the glitter didn't show up much in the pictures, but I assure you, its lovely and sparkly to add to your lips for a festive look!

Hope you like it!

Winter Wonderland/ Christmas look FOTD

First of all I just want to say a thank you to all the people entering my competition, I'm impressed with the response, and good luck to all of you who have/are entering!

On with my makeup look then..

I went Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park on Sunday and as always, it didn't fail to impress. I've been going for the last 3 years and this year I decided to check the circus which was impressive! Those people who fly through the air like it's nothing are amazing!
Here's a few pics of the Cirque D'hiver and from other things at the Wonderland:

 The "bad guy"

 The girl on the right was a-m-a-z-i-n-g with her feet/legs, she sat on her back and tossed & flipped fire!

 The Giant Wheel (no, not London Eye!)

Helter Skelter

Anyway, here's the look I wore to the Winter Wonderland- glittery green eyes and red lips.. really simple!

> UD 24/7 pencil in "covet"

> UD Heavy Metal glitter eyeliner in "stagedive"

> UD 24/7 pencil in "zero"

> Dior Show mascara

> MAC moisturecover concealer in NC35

> UD Lip Envy in "envious"

> No 7 Sheer Temptation lipstick in "smoulder"

> Sleek Good Girl palette - "raspberry coulis" for blush

This look is really really simple; first I lined the top and bottom of the eyes with UD pencil in Covet, then added Stagedive to the topliner. 

After using under eye concealer and Dior Show mascara, I decided to use the palette I'm giving away for the blush.. So to fit with the christmassy red-green theme I used Raspberry Coulis on the apples of my cheeks.. I'm not usually a fan of reds on the cheeks but it doesn't look half bad!!

I then finished the look with UD Envious lip stain followed by No 7 Smoulder lipstick on top, et voila! Simple Christmassy look!

 Hope you like it, I'll try doing more festive looks, if you have any requests let me know!
