Copy Cat Makeup // Dramatic Coloured FOTN

Is it fair to say I was "inspired" by Misschievious on Youtube when I pretty much copied her drugstore makeup tutorial? And although I was drooling over the Sleek Lagoon palette she used, I knew I would have plenty of similar colours I could substitute them for. I love using a darker base underneath bright colours for a bright but smoky look, as done in my Jewel Smoky Eye Makeup, as it brings them out differently compared to a lighter base.

And although this was a bored-on-a-saturday-night-playing-with-makeup-look it wasn't a waste of makeup as we ended up going out in the end. Nothing worse when you do your makeup perfectly and then nothing happens!

Ignore the eyelash giving me a lazy eye!

Slightly altered, same as first pic but contrast upped.

In case you are wondering, I wore the same outfit pictured here, as you can see with the 2nd skirt & the peplum top. I found this perfect for this night, as it had been raining almost all day, but by this time it had stopped so it was actually quite humid so I did not get that horrible hot & sweaty feeling.

My NYE makeup

Hey guys, once again sorry for another late post with my New Years Eve makeup! I've been so busy this week to be able to get around to posting it. So I hope everyone had a great night partying, or whatever you did :) We had the hottest day on new years day that we've had in a long time.... 46.C or 115 F.! Which kinda sucked because it was way too hot for the beach :(
Anyway, it was humid on NYE especially when I was getting ready, so ignore the creasing!

  So of course being NYE I had to add glitter to the look. I was a little bit inspired by Lisa Eldridge's party makeup look with the shape & colouring, and wanted it to match my dress without being too matchy-matchy.

Day To Night// Graphic Gold & Black // Ft Katy Perry lashes

I started out with this makeup during the day.... it isn't essentially a day time look but it was day enough for me :P We were in the city for Stereosonic (best day!!) but this was the day before were we got to go out to lunch & shopping with friends and we got to see our niece for the first time in ages! Sorry for the pic heavy post.
Day Makeup

I did my eyes at home but finished with my foundation in the car, I was trying out a sample of the Garnier BB Cream, but as I put it on I realized it was a medium colour & a bit too dark & orange looking for me, but I blended & blended & added everything else and the colour didn't turn out too bad in the end. Unfortunately I couldn't open the packet properly and some splattered onto my strap :@ so I tried to rub it off but got lipstick on it too and made it even worse!!! *DOH* I took out my hair and kinda twisted the strap to hide it. So annoying!

Night
After this busy, exhausting day I didn't feel like completely starting my makeup over again but I wanted to dramat-ify it for a big night out (the random nights are the best!) I also *had* to use my Oh My! Katy Perry lashes by Eyelure.

Mini Lash Review

These seriously are the thickest lashes ever. They are double banded so they feel really sturdy. I had to cut mine down to shape just a tiny bit, & as they were quite stiff they weren't the easiest to put on but I'm sure they will be easier to apply next time. They are probably a bit too overwhelming for my eyes, especially when they are open, but that wont stop me from wearing them again. I also didn't need to curl my lashes into them as I curled them beforehand & already had a heap of mascara on.

With my "mustached friend" hehe.

Also if you're wondering I got my top from www.allyfashion.com.au instore a couple of weeks ago, it is a lemon coloured peplum style top with a peak-a-boo back. Although I changed it for going out since it was stained! I wore it with black shorts during the day but I would have paired it with a black bandage skirt for night.

Thank you so much for looking! Take care xx

Can't believe my hair is this long when it's straight! Maybe I should wear it sleeker more often :P Ooh and my hair almost blends into the background!!

 Dress from Dotti, It's just a peplum-style dress with a see through mesh tank (lol I suck at describing these things..).... I never thought I would like the peplum style but it hides the bloating so well!

And with my brothers girl, the main reason we went out ^.^ I also did her eyes but that's another post.

Thanks for looking! How do you like to do your makeup for clubbing?

Smokey Glitter; Subtle or Dramatic?

These are from 2 different weekends but I wanted to do a glittery cut crease & a subtle glitter clubbing look. I used the same Sleek Palette- my go to, dramatic-smokey-eye look Bad Girl in both looks with Glitter by Nyx. These are definitely way too OTT for during the day but perfect for an eye-catching night look.

 

Silver Glitter & Blue Dramatic Cut-Crease

Bad lighting in this look, my skin looks terrible :/. I think having the flu that week would have something to do with it, too. But I just remembered, the Fiancee has a horrible bluish tinged light, yuck!

Products

Face : (In both) Australis Paparazzi Perfect Foundation

MAC Peachykeen

Lips: Covergirl lip perfection l/s in Kiss

Eyes: Firstly I applied The Face Shop Dual Eye Colour in 'Silver' to the eyelid, and cut into the crease with Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil in 'Black Bean' and also on the lower lash line & waterline. On the lid I applied the lightest grey 'Blade' from my Sleek Bad Girl. Over Black Bean I placed 'Abyss' from Bad Girl & blended with 'Obnoxious' (both blues, the darkest first) coming as far into the inner corner as I liked. I also applied some 'Noir' right into the crease for further definition. I applied these in the same order on the lower lash line. Also highlight with 'Innocence' (shimmery white)
Now again on the lid I applied Nyx Candy Glitter Liner in Disco Ball all over, setting with the Nyx glitter in silver (loose glitter pigment).
I applied my eyeliner - Maybelline Master Precise & slightly winged it up, mascara & falsies & I'm done.

Smokey Purple, Subtle Glitter

'Goofy Smile Alert!!!'

Face: Foundation as above, Blush: MAC Dollymix
Contouring: Coastal scents 15 concealer (dark shades) ,Nude by Nature Eye Definition loose powder.
Lips: (new fave combo!) Nyx Harmonica & Australis Boogie Woogie. (Harmonica is too frosty on it's own so these L/S are a perfect pair!)

Eyes: After primer apply Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil in 'Slate' to the eyelid. Blend up slightly into crease. Apply 'Gun Metal' from Sleek Bad Girl (medium shimmery gray) on top, blending out. Apply 'Twilight' to the crease & blend out with 'Rebel' (both purples again from Bad Girl), do the same on the lower lash line & blend with a skin-toned coloured eyeshadow. Take Nyx Candy Glitter Liner in 'Disco Queen' on top of Gun Metal and then to set apply Fyrinnae loose eyeshadow in Immortal. {{As the shades on the lid are verry similar you will only catch a glimpse of the glitter which can make your eyes look more sparkly when they hit the lights at a flattering angle.}}
Apply your fave black eyeliner to the waterline & lash line, add mascara & falsies to complete the look.

Love this look on Makeupgeek if you would like :)

How do you like to wear glitter?

Balayage hair + glitzy club makeup!

I'm so sorry guys, I'm apologizing for the lack of posts again! Soo I got my hair done a couple of weeks back.. mainly coz my stupid roots were showing through haha.. I swear my hair grows too fast! This time she did more balayage through all of it, instead of just a few front sections like before. The only thing I will change next time is to probably just do the base colour through the top sections only to break up the lighter ends. It looks good curled, but there's kinda like a line between the colour when it's straight.
Aandd- I hate bleach, my ends feel yucky now & they tangle so easily! My hair is so much more static when I brush it too lol :(

Apologizing for the phone pics! 

Lipstick is vivaglam nicki in case you're wondering.

This is the making I wore for clubbing in the city. Mostly phone pics again sorry!

That's better, camera pix :)

Eyes:
Nyx JEP in Black Bean, drawn into crease using small brush, winging out slightly, also on lower lashline.
Noir- Sleek Bad Girl, blended over line, using underground & gunmetal to blend out black. Cut back into the crease with Noir & a sharp-lined brush. Use these on the lower lash line too. I think I also used Urban Decay Tease to blend.
Stila Kitten on the lid
Pixie Epoxy over Kitten, and then the MK&A glitter from my recent haul over the top. I wish I had MAC reflex gold [I think] to compare it too.
Urban Decay Bootycall to highlight
Maybelline Line Allure for the eyeliner.
BYS gel eyeliner.
BYS eyelashes in Starlette

 Lips: Inglot #253. I applied it horribly in the car, sorry!

Thoughts on the eyelashes:
These are the ones I also bought in my haul. I really like the whispy-ness & the diamontes on them for added bling, but they were still hard to work with. The band wasn't as flimsy as one I've tried before, but as the glue was drying I couldn't roll it into shape because it went almost straight when I put them on. Also I don't like how you can see the lash band, but it's only noticeable up close.

So, I really should give cut creases a break for a while, but since I've found out that I can actually do them it's a lot of fun to do for a night out!!
I hope you enjoyed this post.

FOTN using my MAC products from my haul

So of course after purchasing my new products I had to use as many as I could at the same time :P Which was perfect because I bought 1 eye, 1 cheek & 1 lip product from MAC, and I couldn't have cared less if it was complementary or not LOL.
Obviously this is not tonight's FOTN, it's from last week :)

So we went to Adelaide for the weekend, and after a walk in the city and a quick shopping trip we made a booze run and went back to the apartment for some drinks to catch up with a friend we hadn't seen in a few years. And then we went for a night on the town.

 Just enjoying a drink from our balcony from the 18th floor of our apartments with the city life behind me. HA you can kinda see the lipstick marks all over my glass but look at my lips! Still a heap of lipstick on them (I didn't need to reapply for the good part of the night)
