Creative Madness


Evening All..
How AMAZING is this weather?! It's quite literally insane. I can only guess that it shall last for the week & then be gone but if you can manage it (Unlike me) get yourself out & top up the tan.

Yesterday was a fabulous day, and not only to do with the weather.
I teamed up with Jennie Lööf again for another collection of hers to be showcased on ASOS.

The day went so ridiculously smooth & we even finished AHEAD of schedule. Must have been the change in Mother Natures mood that had us all working a lot harder
(If that's possible) ha.

I've got some sneaky behind the scenes photo's to post from the day & of course, one which is above I'll be sure to post all finished items up her once they're launched online like before.

Props to the full team for having the day go like clock work.

Below is model Miss Sara Cahoon working the electric blue lips that she loved ever so much.
Lipstick - Diciple by Illamasqua
I then applied Illamasqua's Liquid Metal in Superior over the top to give it a metalic look.


Next is Miss Tuma Keke Nissi showing off Jennie's beautiful Vintage Summer Dress.

I'm looking forward to seeing the finished products as usual I know they're gonna be great.
Thanks to everyone for a fantabulous day, I look forward to working with you all again.

Drag It Out

HELLO - HELLO - HELLO :-)

Woah, it's been a while since I last updated this little sucker. 
I've been an extremely busy bee along with sunning myself up in Spain lately that I've literally abandoned by poor little blog. 

- - -

This is just a quick update of a look I done one night on myself back in April.
It's been YONKS since I done a self design in the comfort of my own little bedroom, taking be back to the days when I had all the time in world to play around with crazy ideas and chuck them on my face.

I thought I'd go all out this time around & decided to be a Drag Queen for the night.

 
If you wanna try it out then here are the steps below.
 
  • The look consisted of a LOT of foundation. (Illamasqua Rich Liquid 115)
  • Layer upon layer was added to my face until it resembled a blank canvas.
  • I could then contour my nose and cheekbones with some dark bronzer. I also created a drimple in my chin with this as well. (Illamasqua Duo Bronzer)   
  • My eyebrows were created with (Smashbox Brow Tech - Brunette)
  • I then used (Illamasqua Concealer in Black & White) to eyeline my eyes and fill in under the eye to create the look of them being larger than normal.
  •  I finished off the look with (Elizabeth Arden Lip Crayon in Natural) on the lips outlining around the mouth to make it larger and shadowing underneath with the above bronzer. 
  •  & Finished with a slick of (Smashbox Clear Gloss) 
 - - -

Of course the hair is not mines either. It's actually a Clip On Fringe that I had applied to the front of my head backwards & parted down the middle to give the look of a full head of brown hair.

These are available in all Sally's/Debenhams/Boots for around £8.

If anyone does decide to go ahead & give the look a bash then please do & send me a photo via email so I can have a look. I'm always interested to see other peoples work.

Until next time bloggers,
