What's trending : A Bold Lip

My five top bold lipsticks are.......

(Top left to botton right)

Rimmel Kate moss lipstick -107
Topshop lipstick - screen siren
Barry M Lip paint -121
Revlon just bitten kissable balm stain -crush
Mac lipstick- impassioned



If I've decided to go natural on the brows I'll go bold on the lips and these are my favourite. 
A dark red, a magenta red, classic red, plum and hot pink are all I need in my bold lipstick collection

What's trending?: Big Brows

Thanks to care delevingne (who I absoloutly love) big brows where and have been one of the biggest trends this year. And if you like me and you brows are very sparse and hard to see, I have found away to make those brows look a little bit bolder. 
Before....(Sorry a stole a pic from my last post but I hadn't filled them in) 
...after 
All I did to achieve bigger and bolder brows was combed through with a spoole, filled them in with the maybelline master shape brow pencil in dark blond, following by natural brow shape, and then set them with the maybelline brow drama sculpting brow mascara .
I think that the thing to remember is, don't think 'bigger brows means darker' as they will look unnatural, keep to a colour that is right for you and fill them in a bit heavier handed and the look will be achieved.

I love this trend with a natural eye as it's faff-free and you can go bold on the lips.

Easy Eyeshadow look

Sorry I haven't posted in a while but today as a quick Sunday post I decided to do a quick and easy eyeshadow look! hope you like it x

   This literally took 2 minutes and 3 eye shadows 
 First I used stila bubble bath  from the luxe shadow palette and 'swooshed' it all over the eye, right up to the brow bone. Then I took a little bit of kiko eye shadow in 123, great name I know, on a mac 217 and applied to the crease, and just below  the lash line, just to define the bone and crease. This eye shadow is a lovely highly pigmented taupe so perfect for defining. 

To add a bit of fun to the look, form the stila palette, I used love of the ocean on a small angled brush and pressed in onto the lash, in a slight wing. This is a dark shimmery blue that only showed up a little colour on the lid, to add a bit of colour. 

Hope you enjoyed this post and the look x
