L.F DOES S/S - SHINY DISCO BALL

SOURCE

I initially started with this as a reference source. Hazy lower lid with the black scattered 'markings'. Soft but with a harsh edge. Not sure, but it inspired me!

SOURCE

Glitter + Chanel  = spring.  Scattered multi glitter across the lids and on the tips of the lashes. So beautiful and dainty. 

Standard douche-y webcam shot but this was so much a fun look to do.

Hey guys, so I'm back with a fun look, yesterday I had a much needed zone out of work and just indulge in playing around with make-up - it's been awhile. It was actually meant to be quite subtle but I kept adding more and more. And I'm totally not a spring girl so I had to do a Gothic style lip. 

The eyes were a haze of brown with a heavy black lower lid. I did a quite precise layer first before going in with a MAC 217 dipped into gel eyeliner to do a 'speckle' effect with the tip of the brush to create an almost feathered pattern. Once that was done the glitter came out. Very random placement starting from the lash line and slowly spreading out. The glitter on the lashes was a last minute thing and so easy to do - definitely no need to buy fancy dress lashes when you can DIY it with some craft bits and lash glue. The lips were initially just a bold deep red but to tie in with the eyes I decided to outline them in black. Apparently it looks kind of carnival-y? Or masked ball of some sort. It was fun to do anyway.

Hope you guys like it AND I bought Die Antwoord tickets 3 days ago. So EXCITED to see them in June since they are only touring 3 different venues in the UK.

L.F DOES S/S - MORE IS MORE AND UPDATE

SOURCE

My initial inspiration. Simple and dainty... but that's not my style! Well today anyway.

KEY PRODUCTS:

MUFE FLASH COLOUR - GOLD, I USED THIS AS A BASE FOR THE GLITTER TO ADHERE TO AND I ALSO PRESSED THIS ON TOP OF THE LIPS
OCC LIP TAR - NSFW
NATURAL COLLECTION LIPSTICK - CHERRY RED
SLEEK EAU LA LA EYELINER - NOIR
COLLECTION 2000 GLAM CRYSTALS EYELINER - ROCK CHICK 

Hey guys, I'm back! I've not done a look on myself in ages because I've been a little preoccupied. OBVIOUSLY the first thing I was drawn to was glitter, red lips and lots of black. Inner drag queen I think.

I just started off with the gold glitter underneath the lash line and I just went with the flow. It's similar to a look I did last year  but with small tweaks and different products. Instead of it all being quite 'fluid' with the flicks, I played around with angles and geometry. The angles are sharper and the accents of black glitter liner on certain spots helps to soften it all up.

UPDATE:

I've turned into a gym bunny (wanna-be anyway). My parents have been moaning at me for ages about my weight. So I've finally decided to move my butt. I don't hate exercising. It's fine. I just don't have self initiative to do it. AKA LAZY SHIT. But my weight has been creeping on too much for me to ignore. E.G no longer fitting into jeans you could fit into a year ago..... FML moment.
I've joined the gym for 2 months whilst I'm at home, so I'm milking my membership by going everyday because it's bloody expensive (worth it but pricey). I can see *small* improvements already and I've been spurred on by having a gym buddy who'll make an experience on my blog at some point.

Current food cravings are: sushi and marshmallows. But when you see how long it takes to burn JUST 100 calories your cravings drop fast. Oh and seeing any photos of Kate Upton who is the same age as you. Not worth it. Not worth it.

Talk soon guys, I have lots of make-up looks to catch up on. My Tumblr is full of looks I want to do!

Phew. Long list. That's why I hardly ever write up what I use!!

Hey guys, I'm finally back! I'm currently on a 3 week Christmas break so I *should* be back doing lots of fun stuff for you guys. 

I've been planning on doing some holiday inspired make-up ever since I saw Lisa Eldrige's work for Vogue UK's December issue. But college has been hectic and I find it much easier updating my art blog as I can just upload photos and add a minor description!

These looks I've created have a slight inkling reference to the 1940's but I've updated it by using a glitter liner on top of the liquid liner (I recommend doing this so you get a solid black base). 
Look 1 is the core look in this short series so from this starting point I just slowly added and tweaked bits such as changing the lip colours. Look 3 and 4, I think would be perfect for parties without looking too OTT pantomime extra.

So if you are stuck for holiday make-up ideas hopefully I've inspired you :)

Talking about being inspired this video is just magical!
