L.F DOES A/W - POWER BROW

SOURCE

After my spell of featuring thin arched brows, I turned to the other side this week. If you have naturally bold full brows... I envy you! I was inspired by the ombre fade of the eyebrows and the eye-shadow - it balances the graphic edge of the brows to give a more softer overall appearance. 

I've cropped this weeks image...the left side didn't look symmetrical.

Hey guys, sorry for the belated post but here's this weeks look! Taking a break from my usual love for thin stylised brows and taking a nod to the Cara brow = full, structured and bold.
I initially started with a green khaki crease and then when I shaped the brows, I let the black slowly merge together - the subtle nuance of colour compliments the punchy red lip and everything else was kept minimal and simple (contoured the face like mad).
Hope you like this weeks look, are you sporting a fuller brow this season?

L.F DOES A/W - CONTRADICTION

SOURCE
Intense eyes with bleached brows and muted lips and razor sharp cheekbones. LOVE. And slightly jealous. 

I look pretty moody. Weird mix of intense Gothic/Arabic style eye with the kitsch pop eyebrows. Opposites attract right?

The pink undertones are more prominent here :)

Hey guys, I'm back with another 'interesting' look this week. I thought I'd do something different with the eyes, as I tend to change the appearance by making them appear larger than emphasizing my natural narrower shape. The more feline heavily defined shape is not something I'd do in real life but if you have a different eye shape to me, this way of defining your eyes will have a greater impact. I initially left the brows alone but it lacked something.... and the obvious route was to rock out the sequins and glitz! I 'bleached' my brows out first and using the sequins created an outline - it's subtle but without saying POW.The rest of my face was left pretty neutral with a soft pink to tie everything together.
What do you guys think of my combination? And I start uni (final year) this Monday. ARGHHH.

Hey guys, so this is what I finally came up with! I've used the gems before but here they have a bit more of a purpose? I've nicknamed them 'vajazzle brows' or 'bejewelled brows' if we want to be more classier ha!

What do you guys think? Does the rest of the make-up balance out the statement brows?

Nothing serious. And the joys of having sparse brows... good for make-up 'blog' purposes but bad for everyday 'real' life.

 Spock/extreme face lift brows!

Random alert, but this bowl is so CUTE -  I got this from Paperchase. And I'm on a health kick (again). It was a downward spiral being back home over Easter. So it's mission goodbye moon face atm. 

Hey guys, I've been quiet on on the blog front because work load is back in full swing so I'm pretty sleep deprived and my skin has gone to shitz this week! I think the skin gods are taking revenge for me saying how chuffed I was with it last week. 

Also I mentioned some uni dates awhile ago but I officially break up for uni (FIRST YEAR OVER WTF) June 1st but my accommodation contract ends mid July, so I'm unsure what to do. Go home and waste my rent or stay and still pay for living costs. Not sure.

Whilst I'm in a ramble mood, my sister is off to teach in Korea for a year in 2 weeks time! Which is amazing and sad at the same time. We literally found out she got the job a month ago so a bit out of the blue. So it's going to be weird going back home and being one sister down.

Happy note is she said she'll send me over some Korean makeup/skin care stuff... FYI total convert to their face sheet masks. I'm weirdly not too excited about Korean make-up brands (considering I'm a make-up hoe) - I think it's the packaging that makes me less excited about the product. RAMBLE OVER. 

Anyway back to this weeks look. I had reference on hand but I drifted off and I'm not sure what to call it now. Not overly happy with it so hence only the eyes with the DSLR. 

I'll make it up to you guys next week :)
