Webster Wigs and LED lashes...Oh my...Time for a Cyber Goth look!!

 It's been a fairly good couple of days and am feeling very creative. So much so I've been creating some new headdresses and designing some new costume pieces which will be for sale at my next Comicon demonstrations... here's a sneak peak at one of them ---->

Its always good when you get a good boost of motivation, I'm pretty sure that a big key to controlling my chronic pain is to distract myself with creative madness.

This weeks tutorial is focusing on some awesome eyelashes from Cyberdog which flashes and my first lace front wig from Webster Wigs. I absolutely love both of these!! I'm totally going to be buying more from these stores.

If you haven't heard of Cyberdog, its an awesome shiny flashy cyber store in Camden, London. I absolutely love Camden Market and Cyberdog is one of my favourite places to visit. Its just so colourful and alternative; you can find the most unique things. One of those things were these LED lashes, Eyelites! They are absolutely amazing and come in various colours. The great thing is that the lashes are connected to a small battery box that you attach to the back of your head. On the box is a button were you can change the setting of the lights so they flash at different speeds and one of the settings even makes them flash to sound!! Absolutely awesome! It was a little fiddly to attach but do able and once they're on they just feel like normal lashes, no extra weight on your eyelids. The control box that you attach to the back of your head is just the same, once its attached (it comes with a little hair clip) you can't feel it. They are pricey at £18 but totally worth it, the battery life last from up to 100 hours and there are 8 flashing modes, you can also get them in a selection of different colours.
For this look I used the white coloured ones and I can't wait to buy more colours.

The wig that I have on is from Webster Wig, "Halle" which is a fantastic lace front high quality synthetic wig. The colour is beautiful and very vibrant with lovely bouncy curls. This is my first proper lace front wig but luckily the wig came with a leaflet about how to put the wig on, care for the wig and style the wig. You also get a wig cap and it all came in a nice little bag. I absolutely love the wig, its so soft and perfect for my crazy makeup looks or just to put on when I can't be bothered doing my hair! The price of the wig was £50 but the website has a range of prices and styles of wigs to choose from; personally I think it was worth it because of the quality and I'll be definitely be ordering more in the future.

So the look I created with both these products is this, club kid style makeup. As always I will be uploading a tutorial video of how I created this look on my YouTube this Thursday so make sure your subscribed.

Beauty meets SFX ---- Using the new Kat Von D Collection.

Its been a interesting couple of days for me, mostly circling around Kat Von D makeup! Which isn't a bad thing.
Things started off by my sister and I, going to the Trafford Centre Debenhams to watch the new Kat Von D collection being used as well as picking up a few goodies as you do! 
As most of you will already know the new Kat Von D 10th Anniversary Collection dropped a few weeks ago and focused on some beautiful gold tones and strong pigments. This event at Debenhams allowed me to see the products in action as well as seeing some of the brands best products being used. 
I love Kat Von D makeup, the pigments, the textures and just the whole style of the brand so this event was wonderful. Make sure that if you are interested in this brand you pop into the Trafford Centre Debenhams and have a chat to the fabulous artists that are working on the counter, they will demonstrate the products as well as teach you new techniques in application to suit you or how best to use the products which often have multi uses.
I did buy quiet a lot of stuff...so did my sister!! But from the collections I got the beautiful Metal Crush highlighter in Gold Skool which is such an amazing highlighter with some powerful glow to it!

A lot of people who know me are aware that I do use a lot of liquid lipsticks on my brows so I can create the crazy colours so of course I had to get the Everlasting Glimmer Veil from this collection which is fabulous and looks amazing when layered over other colours. But is also awesome by it self.

And lastly is the amazing palette! The colours range from matt to shimmery and some beautiful multi-tonal colours. The package is beautiful, I mean look at that artwork on the front. If you can only get one piece from this collection I would definitely recommend this palette! 

My sister bought the lipstick that goes with this collection which is a beautiful warm toned red, perfect for summer and goes great with her warm skin tones as well as her blue eyes. Good purchase sis!!
There was a brush set that you could buy but I have bought a lot of brushes recently so am good for brushes for now. (That and I spent up.)

So what to do to show off these fantastic products...of course it has to be some sort of SFX meets beauty makeup! I have created a tutorial video of this for my YouTube channel so if your interested in watching the whole process please go check out and subscribe; @ Ruth E Moulden MUA

I have created these silicone brows before but I thought it would be interesting to mix this with more of a beauty based makeup, an ultra glam Golden Demon lady.

I think this look do show off the Kat Von D collection, I mean look at that gold shine!! And on the lips is an example of the Glimmer Veil being used over the top of a grey toned liquid lipstick. All the colours used on the face and the eyes are taken from the 10th Anniversary palette and I did use the Saint and Sinner palette (also Kat Von D) but only for the black shadow.

I will be posting more images of this look on my other social sites so make sure that you are following me on facebook and Instagram @Ruth E Moulden Makeup Artist MUA

The photo below is what the makeup looks like in full light...hence the more warm toned feeling to this image. (Excuse the hair over my nose...I didn't notice it when I took the photo!)

Full lists of the products used will be on my YouTube channel as well as Instagram feed...this includes the SFX products being used too.
I think that I may do this look again...but with a headdress and maybe a wig!! OR create the darker side to the Golden Demon?! What do you guys think?

Hope you guys have a fabulous Sunday! Don't forget to share and follow me!!

Sun Set Eye Makeup and Black Lips: Products Review and Makeup Look of the Day

Hi my Lovelies,

This a quick old fashioned makeup look and product post, I want to do more of these but I've been given a little more responsibility in my teaching job plus I have my new students starting in September so I want to get all my workshops brand new and sparkling before they start...basically am going to try and keep up with the makeup looks posts but can't promise.

This look is one of my favourite looks to do, I love the contrast between the black lips and the bright eyes! Plus as I have mentioned to my students before now, I wear this look when I need a quick application but dramatic look.

 

Big lashes are needed for this sort of looks at well. 

Love my rockabilly style, the fasinator that am wear is by Pearls and Swine. Fabulous Millinery that create the most amazing, unique designs ever! Check them out here: http://www.pearlsandswine.com/

 

 

 

So the products that I used for this look, some of them are newish and some I use time and time again.

 

+Kat von D makeup is something that is am absolute guilty pleasure of mine, it cost quiet a bit to get it sent over to the UK but its totally worth it!

 

The Shade and Light palette is a fantastic powder contouring palette that is absolutely amazing! The pigments are buildable with a smooth consistency for a powder and easily blended onto the skin to give a beautiful contour to any face shape or feature. I frequently use this product for my brides and prom makeups.

 

 

I used +Sugarpill "Burning Heart" palette for the eyes, this is a staple favourite of mine which I use almost everyday. I love all of +Sugarpill 's cosmetics for the pure and simple fact that the eye shadows are amazing pigmented with super strong colour pay offs.

 

 

To blend my eye shadows, I used Sugar Pill Cosmetics large eye shadow brush. This is one of my favourite brushes and am sure I will be buying more of there brushes in future (I just purchased their blending brush from this years IMATS) Its super fluffy and soft, excellent for blending colours together.

 

 
My absolute favourite foundation at the moment is another one of Kat Von D's products, Lock it Foundation. I have been saving up for this one for a while, again due to the cost of shipping it in rather then the cost of the product!

I cannot tell you enough how fantastic this foundation is, it covers all with out clogging up your pores or feeling caked on. Once set with powder it lasts and lasts and lasts! Definitely recommend everyone to try this product at least once in your life, although if you try it once I guarantee that you will continue buying it!

 

Another favourite of mine is Kat Von D's eyeliner, Tattoo Liner in Trooper. Its extremely precise with a good fluid flow which glides on to your eyelid fantastically. Again it lasts all day!

 

 
This product I always use, everyday! Its +Inglot Cosmetics Gel eyeliner in purple and red for my eyebrows. The reason why I use a gel liner rather then a powder product is, I feel I can get more shape to my brows using gel and can create that sharp shape better with this rather then the powder. Plus the colour pay off is amazing!

 

Lips are created using +Lime Crime "Wicked" liquid lipstick, which I did have some problem with when wearing it all day. It felt like I was reapplying a lot throughout the day...this may of been because I was teaching all day and talking lots! The colour looked fantastic when it was first applied though and had that nice matt effect.

 

So that my Sunshine eyes looks, as I said I will try to post more traditional makeup looks and product reviews on here.

Don't forget to check out my Facebook page, Instagram and YouTube...am currently trying to upload a new video today sooooo stay tuned people!!
