L.F DOES S/S - COLOUR SURGE

SOURCE

I was initially drawn to the block colours and the bold eyeliner stroke.

Rainbow.... ON MA FACE.

SUGARPILL COSMETICS PRESSED EYE-SHADOW -  BUTTERCUPCAKE, FLAMEPOINT, DOLLIPOP AND LOVE+
MAC EYE-SHADOW - AQUADISIAC, PASSIONATE AND BITTER

Hey guys, back in full colour force. I need a 'stop' button sometimes, once I get going I just keep going and going and going and going. It's slightly drag/alien-ish but I just wanted to experiment colour - as you can see no doubt!
What do you guys think?

L.F DOES S/S - NEON LIGHTS

SOURCE

Bruised purples and pale skin.... *swoon*. Oh, and the 'bitten' lips inspired me with this weeks look!

SOURCE

Grunge-y smokey brown ochre eyes with neon lime accents. 

Skin is in recovery mode and massive eyes bags :(

Wearing false eyelashes for once!

REVLON SUPER LUSTROUS LIPSTICK - BLACK CHERRY


Hey guys, back again. Slightly belated with this weeks look - general uni' deadlines, you guys can feel my pain. 
Technically not really neon but MAC's bitter is pretty bad-ass. I used a damp brush to make the pigment even stronger and less powdery.
Hope you guys like it and experiment with colour placement if you don't feel comfortable using bright colours all over the the lid. 
Also a special mention to Revlon's black cherry lipstick -  I'm usually a bit 'iffy' with drugstore lipsticks but this one is a really nice formula that applies and stays on well, which is what you want when you wear a darker shade. If you are wanting a berry bitten stain effect, give this a go!

L.F DOES S/S - PAINT BOX INSPIRED BY VAL GARLAND

Such a make-up MAVERICK. I really love Val Garland's work because the looks she produces are so varied and original each time - she can do anything!
When I browse through my fashion tear sheet/magazine collection, she is usually behind some of my favourite editorials.

This look has been on my 'to do' list for ages! The sort of mix and match of colours and 'that' brow *swoon*.

No flash *I don't think* (had wrong camera settings), so colours are true to life.

Also a mention about my skin.... this is after a months use of Clarisonic! 

One brow and one flick? Yes! In hindsight I should of covered my brows but I didn't plan on taking the colour up so far.

KEY PRODUCTS:

MAC EYE-SHADOWS -  BITTER, FIG. 1, SWIMMING, PASSIONATE, BLUE HEAT AND CLIMATE BLUE

URBAN DECAY EYESHADOW - GREEN GODDESS

MUFE 12 FLASH COLOUR CASE - RED, TURQUOISE, LEAF GREEN, YELLOW AND CORAL (USED ON LIPS ALSO)

Hey guys, this is my first look since being back at uni (this was done on 21/04/12)! All the looks you've seen so far have been scheduled ones - so I've had a 3 week Easter break from doing 'fashion' make-up!

I was going to keep this kind of tame but I decided to go for it when I gradually kept on adding more and more colours.

 The use of  MUFE flash colours helped the look to have more 'slap dash' feel because it was getting quite 'blendy-blendy' beforehand - I'm too much of a perfectionist :(

The added one brow and one flick is a direct nod to Garland's editorial work for Vogue Italia. And I think adds a 'quirky' playful vibe to the look without making the rest of the face match.

I think with make-up there's that line on how far to take things and learning when to stop (same with anything 'creative' actually).

Hope you guys like it! It was really fun creating this :)
