PLAY 4

UMA THURMAN BY DAVID LACHAPPELLE FOR INTERVIEW (2007)
Got some 90s Courtney Love/Hole vibe to it. Rustic brown-tinge lips and the purple with orange fade. I like. 
 My interpretation, as always I usually tend to kind of drift and.... go drag-ish haha! You can see I kept some of the colour scheme but went cray cray with the lashes and brows.
Without the lips and lower false eyelashes - excuse the hair. 

Hey guys, a bit of a cheat post but it's new make-up look! I decided to have a break from work and do summat for the blog but I'm always a bit rusty when I don't do 'creative' make-up in awhile - I tend to just do everything at the same time and go all OTT.
Anyway got another presentation to do for this week and I should have a bit of freedom for a week (not really - need to make the finals for everything before the new brief).
See you soon!

INSPIRATIONAL VIDEOS ROUND UP 6 AND RAMBLE

 I actually first found out about Jack Teagle through NoBrow. I'm currently a bit obsessed with his work.This comic is my favourite by him, it's great. 
For my current uni' project based on a cat character. Pretty happy to find this in the first charity shop I walked in. I ended up sitting in a coffee shop by the window reading this alone... I must of looked so COOL. 
Me all 60s. It' pretty much the same as the look I did here, just less dramatic. I had fun but everyone had a more twiggy/Biba-esque look? Which was cool but I felt oddly out of place with my mod/N.Y interpretation. Weird looks in public too but that's OK. 
So stunning. The eyeliner with the bare lashes, shimmering skin feature and those crystalised lips. J'adore Dior and Pat McGrath!
Fei Fei Sun rocking Italian Vogue. Yay for being the first ever lone Asian cover star for them too. 
Peter Philips created this dark feathery goodness for Chanel. Romantic and Gothic. Yum.
So A/W is over but I'm still a fan for anything dramatic and it's fascinating to hear about Lloyd Simmonds creative process. 
Red lips and a flick of eyeliner  = CHANEL.
Music. LOVE this song. I've listened to this so much. Check out Phantogram!

Hey guys, 'proper' make-up soon, I promise! I've not done one of these videos from the pros for awhile so enjoy my list of favourites, recommend me some links too! It's nice to see make-up in motion instead of just prints sometimes. And a small mention to my house mate Tom, because I had no idea he read my blog. Hi Tom!

FLATMATE MAKEOVER

Before
After!
KEY PRODUCTS:
NARS EYE-SHADOW DUO- MISFIT (TEAL)
MAC PAINT POT - ROLLIKIN
SHU UEMURA EYELASH CURLERS

Hey guys, here's a makeover I did on my flatmate recently for a night out. I've actually done her make-up before but didn't take any photos last time, so here's her debut. With Katherine I mainly focused on correcting her brows (patch) and evening out redness. Katherine's also got a small amount of lid space, so my best advice is to focus colour towards the lash line and optically create more space by also adding shadow on the lower lash line. To frame the eyes I spent my time curling her eyelashes to compliment her lovely bambi-eqsue eyes. 
Hope you guys like this! I'm off to a 60s fancy dress next week so you'll see yet another 60s look from me - love that eras make-up!
