MARION COTILLARD VOGUE PARIS SEPTEMBER 2010 INSPIRED MAKE-UP

More info' at DESIGN scene

The brows were more 'bleached' out IRL. Also let that right eyebrow scar you mentally from over plucking (I wanted brows like Fergie 2 years ago)!!!!



Very Illamasqua-esque?!

Hey guys, I hope you enjoy my return to doing make-up looks instead of rambling about doing them!

My inspiration was from Marion Cotillard's (loved her in Inception- oh yes, I plugged that film in again) Vogue Paris cover. I love the bleached brow trend, sported on all major catwalk shows and on the lovely Lara Stone. It just adds that editorial edge. Mine are obviously not concealed very well but you get the jist?

Main products used:
  • M.A.C Humid eyeshadow
  • M.A.C Blackground paint pot- love the stuff
  • Sleek eye-shadows from various palettes- sorry I've depotted them all so no idea which ones they are from
  • Ardell lashes
  • Cargo black eyeliner- used to deepen areas/act as a guide
  • M.A.C studio fix fluid foundation- amazing heavy duty stuff!!!
Lastly...



The sound is out of sync, but I wanted to utilise my laptop!!! I might do this for all the more 'fashion' looks so you get to see a better perspective.

Enjoy!

PARIS HAULAGE


Brown with gold flecks

The packaging reminds me of Mcueen

Can see the smashed silver :(


At last an update from me! Came back at around 9pm last night and should be in bed but I'm being bad and updating myself on everything that's been going on in the world of the web.

I'm also really chuffed to of find out I've won a make-up contest, which is cool as the other entries were awesome.

Anyway for the past 5 days I've been in Paris! On a art trip with school visiting popular art galleries and tourist attractions. I so want to live there, every things so beautiful and the city is full of energy.... and did I mention the HUGE L.V store there (so wish I have money). OK back to haulage. I've been drilling into my friends head about Sephora being a make-up mecca and when we did manage to get some time for shopping we (pack of 5 girls and one boy :p) swarmed into the store which was absolutely packed!!! The only thing I aimed to get at Sephora was MUFE's 92? eye-shadow but yes it was sold out so I settled for 39 which is much deeper in real life.

Going back home on the ferry also allowed for duty free makeup hauling woo. Lots of Benefit products were reduced and I managed to pick out a untouched CCS in Busy Signal for only £7.50.... bargain! I have tried this product before but in Tattle Tale and wasn't too impressed but I impulsed as its such a good deal so fingers crossed I'll prefer this one!

Another steal was the YSL eye-shadows which usually retails in store for £37? (no way I am willing to splurge on) but was reduced to £22.80, STEAL!!! Apart from me stupidly not checking to see if it was intact and finding afterwards the silver was slightly smashed :( but I'm not a fan of silver anyway! Have done a quick play around and liking the goods so far!

Will do a look soon, I think inspired by Alexander McQueen. As you have probably heard he passed away recently which I am still devastated about (yes I did shed a few tears or two). As I only recently started to love his work and had imagined I would continue seeing his work till I was grey and old. But Lee is hopefully in a better place.

See you soon!
