L.F DOES S/S - SMOKEY BRIGHT

I'm pretty sure the smudging of my right eye is from the case of itchy eyebrow area whilst I was taking photos... gah sorry! It's really annoying, I've just noticed all the photos are like this. Can you try and pretend it's perfect?

Hey guys, I acquired some new make-up recently so I just created this look from the mish mash of everything. It's nice playing around with colour for once - from bright aqua blue to a frosted forest green.
I am just incredibly annoyed I managed to smudge the top right eye without realising... SIGH.

L.F DOES A/W - COOL TONE

McQueen woman - strong yet innocent. Somewhere in the darkness there's always beauty and elegance. Am I making any sense or is this just fashion nonsense? Probably the latter.

I was initially drawn the the use of gold and silver against this warm ochre winged haze. The face and lips were paled down and paired with a bruised cheek stain.
No brows just highlights how I have zero facial definition *le sigh*
My interpretation is very a cool toned version and the wing of the eye is less heightened. The overall undertone gives a more corpse-like vibe but it's interesting to do a fashion take on looking dead whilst playing around with metallics. Gold and silver make a good pairing!

Hey guys, so last weeks look was kind of a 'pretty' and feminine, so it's only natural I do the complete opposite this week. It's a bit haunting and not so much beauty enhancing, but it's a fashion take on a looking like a corpse. I mainly focused on the juxtaposition of gold and silver, with a mirage of cool earth tones to bring some sort of definition and structure.
Hope you like it. Also a bit random but I got aggressively verbally abused by some random man today, and even though I don't know the guy and everything he said should be meaningless because it's all untrue, I was really shaken up. Sucks being at the wrong time and place sometimes.

L.F RAMBLES - LISTEN AND READ

WOW. Seriously in love after my friend intoduced me to him. He's playing in Leeds soon too...YES.
I'm seeing WAS this week which is super exciting. This song isn't a 'typical' WAS style song... but the lyrics resonate with me. One of my favourites by them.
AMAZING LIVE. See them if you get the chance.
Addictive, been on repeat for me.
When I work at uni I like to have an album playing in the background, decided to have Yeah Yeah Yeahs on the go and became obsessed with this song. 
You might remember me mentioning a collaborative book I did a few posts ago... well here it is. My book with the super talented Ben Armson

L.F DOES A/W - LINE ART

Simple but effective. Easy nod to the mods.
I look like a alien! Anyway I would of preferred the lower lash lines to be more straight and less angled. Next time! They look more crazy here.
Rocking the 60s in my pajamas. HOT.

BOBBI BROWN LONG-WEAR GEL EYELINER - BLACK INK

GOSH EXTREME ART EYE LINER - 26
MAC POWDER - TAUPE
MAC LIPSTICK - FANFARE

Hey guys, so this week is another interpretation of the 60s. I know, I'm obsessed! The main feature is the 3 straight drawn on lower lash lines. My lines could be more straighter, but you get the idea. I also added some glitter liner on top just to liven things up. It's graphic, bold and fun!
To work out my lines, I use gel eyeliner to map out the shape and to soften I go over with a black eye-shadow to give a softer diffused edge.
Hope you like it and give it a go :)
