Make up look with pretty products from SugarPill Cosmetics, Illamasqua, LimeCrime and Bleach.

Hello my lovelies, so this is a quick little blog relating to some products I have been using recently. I will be posting another blog about the SFX demonstration I lead during Industry Week at Blackburn College as well as the Evil Goblin Character I completed but I have been a little busy lately and I feel like I haven’t been blogging enough about makeup looks and products used.

So on Saturday, I decided on this little makeup look...

 

 

It’s simple but I think the splash of colour works really well with the dark blend.  The eyes shadows used were +Sugarpill ’s Heart Breaker Palette, which I have reviewed in the past and I have to say…its still one of my favourite palette’s to use because the pigmentation is so amazing! In this look I’ve used Mochi for the inner corners of my eye as well as blend of 2am and Poison Plum (from the Burning Heart Palette, also by Sugar Pill for my purple eyebrows. The black colour that's blended out is Illamasqua's  Obsidian, which is as black as anything! Its is the truest black I have ever used in eye shadows. I also used a little bit of Illamasqua's white eyeliner (Scribe) along the black eyeliner applied which makes my eyes look bigger.

 

The cool thing about this look is that you can use other bright colours in the corners of your eyes to get that pop, I chose this colour cause it matched my Iron Fist dress I was wear that day.

For the lips I used +Lime Crime Poison Berry mixed with +illamasqua  ’s lip pencil in Assert, which creates a beautiful pinky purple effect. Love the pencils that Illamasqua do, they are soft highly pigmented and no drag on the skin when applying! Fabulous product! This lipstick is the first Lime Crime lipstick I have got, and I do plan to buy more but there is some much choice in colours! The staying power of the lipstick is pretty good and unlike some other lipsticks on the market it moisturises your lips and doesn’t dry them out due to the staying power elements. Poison Berry is such a beautiful colour on its own, with the lip liner underneath, it’s got a metallic purple  effect that buildable in colour.

I have also been testing out a new hair dye product by +BleachLondon . Now I have to admit the name put me off a little bit, just sounds a little harsh for a semi-permanent hair colour but I gave it a go. I really want some more colours in my hair other than red, which I’ll probably never get rid of. I went with the colour “Out of the Blue”, similar blue colour to “Velocity” from the Sugar Palette image above. I only wanted a few strands of hair coloured towards the front so when I do my vintage styles it picks up the colour and adds some contrast…the blue turned purple….yeah basic colour theory for you there! Seems my rather dominant red hair mixed with the lesser strength blue and create purple. Am not complaining, it looks good and am going to attempt it again when my red has faded a little.

Bleach is in fact  the name of a London based hair salon that specialises in colour and have released a selection of bright, pastel coloured hair dyes which are Semi permanent dyes which supposedly fades out in 2-10 washes depending on the colour intensity as well as a few other hair related products.

 I figured that this product would be best to “test” out a few brighter colours to mix in with the red for a little more variety, I bought the product from Boots, for a nice £5.

 

So that’s all the fun of the fair this weekend, oh and I will be attending +United Makeup Artist Expo  in London this year in April, my first one! Uber excited but I’ll post about that later to the date. All I can say is…….

I LOVE WIGS UP NORTH!

Ciao, for now my lovelies.
