Big Badda Boom! *Inspired Makeup look*

 Why hello there my lovelies :3
Today I have an inspired look for you all, I couldnt sleep and was browsing through deviant art and noticed an incredible drawing by someone of leeloo from the fifth element and I couldnt resist giving a makeup look a go and after not sleeping for another 6 or so hours I finally did the look in the early hours of this morning :)
There will be another simpler inspired leeloo look comign up soon I just haven't got it right yet so until I like it it wont be ready haha, however I hope you like this look and let me know what you think, and if you like the idea of me doing more inspired looks ^_^
I would also liek to add this look was made incredibly more difficult for me as I dont own a white gel or liquid eyeliner so had to use kohl and careful orange applying techniques XD

The awesome leeloo, if you haven't seen this film you really should cause shes awesome, lee evans and chris tucker are in it (win!) and it just plain rocks ^_^

Yes I know my mascara missed allot XD that pesky white gets all over the place haha!

Well overall I am really happy with this look, then again I am very tired and my eyes may be decieving me, but i actually like this and I normaly dont like all over orange eye looks so I have managed to convert myself hehe.

What I used:

Eyeliner:
Sleek Eau La La liner (White Noise)
Sugarpill eyeshadow (Tako)

Eyeshadow:
(base) Nyx jumbo eye pencil (milk)
Sugarpill eyeshadow (Flamepoint, Buttercupcake, Love+, Tako)
Sleek Circus palette (bright orange)

How I did it:
First of all I based my eye with my nyx pencil in milk and belended it out all over my lid.
Next I took my sleek liner and drew on my liner, then I set it with Tako.
After that I used flamepoint on a small angled brush and carefully traced around the white then continued to fill in my lid, once that was done I took my love+ and blended that into my crease then blended both out into tako under my brow.
Next I took buttercupcake and added a small amoutn onto my inner corner and blended into the orange slightly.
At this point I realised the orange wasnt bright enough so I took my sleek circus palette and took the orange and patted that over the other orange and then on a small brush under my lower lashes.
I lined my waterline with the same sleek liner from before and did my mascara and I was finito!


Admitidley I made the whole process more difficult for myself by doing the white first, but I wanted it to be very vibrant against the orange, and lining over the orange made it dull and looked awful to me, so after a while of testing on my hand I finally realised what I had to do XD

So as not to bore you any longer with my ramblings I shall end my post here, but please do let me know what you think and if you would like to see any more of these (that I am not already planning offcourse XD)

Hazardous *makeup Look*

Hey ^_^
Been a while since I've had the time during the day to do a makeup look, so here is a quick look I did using my new Sleek palette ^_^

It isnt anything special but I had the urge to use a neon yellow and somehow mix in the new sleek palettes colors too, this look is bit odd but I like it, there will be a few more looks using these palettes coming soon ^_^

Also I know this is similar to the Zombie caterpillar look  >Here<  BUT the yellow is very bright and there is teal in there somewhere XD
And I know the pictures are fuzzy but like I said it was juts a quick look ^_^

*EDIT*
I just wanted to mention before I forgot, the eyeliner is amazing on its own as I just found out wiping this off, it is just the sleek liner with the sleek neon yellow patted into it whilst its still tacky and looks awesome :3
just a warning though it takes a bit of rubbing to get it off ^_^

What I used:

Eyes:
NYX Jumbo Pencil (Milk)
Sleek Ultra Matte Palette V2 Darks (Orbit - Teal Color, Highness - Purple Color, Pilow Talk - White, Thunder - Grey Color, Noir - Black)
Sleek Eau La La Liner (Canary Yellow)
Sleek Acid Palette (neon yellow)
Maybelline Gel Liner (Black)
Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara

Hope you enjoyed and if you have any suggestions or requests let me know ^_^

Cosmic Dust *Makeup Look x2*

Hey!
This look is a dark smokey petrol colored look to get the jist of it ^_^
I based this off another makeup look I had seen a while ago and I made a few changes but if I ever find that look again I will link to it!

The products I used in this look are varied some are uk highstreet and some are not, however some of the other things I used CAN be duplicated in the uk and I will tell you about those its just that I dont have those versions or I can't find mine ^_^

I love how odd and metallic this look is, it literally glistens in person it's awesome and suuuper easy to do! Also it definately looks better in person .. dont know why, I guess the camera just cannot capture the epicness of the petrol colored eyeshadow!
I will probably wear it for my birthday meal tommorow ^_^

It seems the daylight is finally fading hence the orange face on the first picture lol XD

These next pictures are of a slightly different version of the same look, a little less heavy (easier to wear) ^_^
also I had to use the celing light as I did this hours after the others so it was pretty late and dark, so the lighting suuuucks and the colors got a little distorted after I forgot I had it on and wiped my eyebrow into the white hilight XD

 Gah you can really see the red smear, well pink now lol XD

 Also the white from the inner corner rubbed off a bit cause again my  brain forgot to tell me that i had makeup on my face XD well thats my story and im sticking to it >_>

 What I used:

Nyx jumbo pencil (blackbean)      Subsitute: Barry M eye crayon (black)

(look 2 only) Nyx jumbo pencil (milk)      Subsitute: white eyeshadow or white eyeliner

Barry M dazzle dust (Petrol Black)

(look 1 ony) Mua Eyeshadows (shade 12 + 8)

Sugarpill Eyeshadow (tako)    Subsitute: Any matte white eyeshadow

Sugarpill Loose eyeshadow (lumi)    **Subsitute: Barry M Dazzle Dust (18 Blue iridescent)

**I am going to try and get the Barry M dazzle dust in shade 18 to try out for myself as I have only heard that it is a suitable subsitute for lumi and I want to find out for myself and will do a comparison if I am able to get hold of one.

 

How I did it:

Look 1

First off I used my NYX jumbo pencil in black bean onto my entire lid and slightly over my crease once applied I blended it out with my finger so the edges were softer.

Next I applied my Barry M dust in 98 to the middle of my lid and lightly blended, next I applied Mua in shade 12 to my outer corner and blended that out well to make sure all of teh base was covered.

Once that was done I used Sugarpills Lumi on my inner corner and blended it into the central shade, next i used Mua shade 8 on my waterline and smudged it out a little, finally I applied my mascara and I was done. 

Look 2

To start I used my Nyx pencil in black bean on the outer corner and slightly onto the middle of my lid, then Nyx pencil in milk on my inner corner and joining blackbean, then used a small brsh to lightly blend the two together and the black out to create a smokey look.

Next I used Barry M dust in 98 on the outer corner covering most of the black apart from the stuff in the middle and blended it all out over the smoked black.

After that I patted Sugarpills lumi onto the center of my lid and towards the inner corner thenblended it all out so it just looked like a sheen (check picture for reference)

Next I used Tako to hilight my brow and right in my inner corner and blended away and finally I did my mascara and I was done.

So I hope you liked these looks and maybe you will try them out ^_^

also as I mentioned earlier I will try to get hold of the Barry M dust in 18 and compare it to lumi!

Fire Proof *Makeup Look*

Today was a very productive day for makeup looks with 2 done and a few more to go before the light fades completely,
these will be very simple and easy to do so i hope you like them ^_^

This look is inspired by a picture I found on the internet I cant find it again now (typical) but it was of an eyeball .. on fire simply put XD

To do thie look I used my cheapie 120 palette from here:

buyincoins

(the site is down at the moment but when it is back up I will make a direct link to the palette, otherwise just search 120 I think that will work)

There are a fair few versions of the 120 palette on the net but this is a nice cheap one that is still good quality! 

I have been cruel to my 120 palette as I almost never use it so I decided to get it out and spoil it rotten and do a whole lookonly using its colors!
 So I hope you like the look I created and go check out that palette its awesome!

 How I did it:
I primed my eyes using mac paint pot in soft ochre, if you recreate this look it is important to prime your eyes before hand to make the colors come out brighter (try using a creamy white base or just a normal eye primer)
Next I took the two reds circled in the picture below and blended them together on my brush (swirling the colors in the pan one after the other) and covered my entire lid, but leaving the inner corner clear, once covered I blended out the edges and then added a small amount under my eye.
Next I took the yellows circled and blended them, then filled in my inner corner and gently blended the red into it, then I carried it down under my eye and added a small amount onto my inner corner waterline.
Next I took a small amount of black and blended that into my crease till it almost dissapeared into the red (just to deepen the color) and finally used the white to go under my brow and blended that slightly into the red.

(sorry if all thats confusing)

So I hope you like the look admitidley it is quite a strong look but if you are brave enough, give it a go and I highly recommend you get the 120 palette as it rocks, and is prefect for creating high impact looks on a budget as I used to use this all the time because thats all I had!

Toxic Rose *makeup look*

So last night I just grabbed a few things I wanted to play with aaand had a huge creative burst.
and I'm actually happy with the result!
The pictures aren't so good but meh cant win em all lol

so yeah I used almost all highstreet makeup but the stuff that wasn't could be duped for easy to get stuff anyhoo ^_^

I really had no idea what to call it so I just went random,
but anyhoo I hope you like it !

p.s ignore the eyebrows I was just playing aroud before I did the makeup and they wouldnt come off XD even with eye-makeup remover ha XD they are still sort of there now XD and they went feckin orange >_>

I normally hate blue on the waterline but it works for this look :3 and made my eyes bluer haha.

 eeeew you can see how unsymmetrical my face is >_>

What i used one my eyes:

*red+blue+black shadows in Sleek Sunset palette
*mua eyeshadows Shade 2 + 12
*Maybelline color tattoo - Permanent taupe (base)
*Sugarpill eyeshadow - Tako (any matte white will do)
*Rimmel sexy curves mascara


How I did it:
I used the maybelline tattoo all over my lid and blended it up over my crease to below my brow,
then I took the mua shade in 12 and patted it over my lid then blend slightly into the crease. (not too much or you will loose the intense color)
Then I took the Red from the sunset palette and patted that above shade 12 and left a few cm gap under my eyebrow and blended, i made sure it had nice soft edges.
The next step you may want to leave out if you have sensitive eyes or you can use a blue eueliner,
but I used the blue from the sunset pallette on a small angled brush and patted it onto my bottom waterline, then blended a little more red just under that staying close to my lashes.
Then I used the black on a small brush and blended a little bit in the outer crease and along my lashline and smoked it out a little.
Next I took another small brush and patted a little mua shade 2 in my inner corner then I used tako (or any matte white you can get) onto my brow bone and blended into the red and finally mascara and I was done!

also for my lips I dont recomend you try it as it may be unsafe but I used the same red and black as I did on my eyes and blended them together simples ^_^

if you try it out I would love to see ^_^
have fun experimenting!

Ginger Snaps Werewolf *Sfx Makeup*

I havn't done anything remotely special effects for a long while so please excuse how terrible this looks! though if I manage to buy any more proper sfx makeup i.e scar wax fake blood and such i will be doing more that will be gorey yay!

I saw ginger snaps the other night on le tv, I hadnt seen it for ages and I just had this sudden urge to to recreate gingers transforming werewolf look so I did ... sort of, with a few tweaks of my own aswell as it gave me an excuse to use my contact lenses!

I just used browns, whites and skin tones from allot of makeup pallettes, I am also terrible at contouring so I know it looks weird but I kinda like it so I decided to share it with the world and I think I'm going to wear the makeup for a bit longer incase someone comes to the door XD


Here are the reference pictures i used:

p.s one has photoshopped fangs just to try and make it look snazzier so forgive my terrible editing job XD

 

In between some pictures I added a little more and took a little away in places, incase you notice the differences XD I just couldnt get to be 100% happy with it but hey it looks funky in person XD 

I know that it looks hardly anything like the original but i wanted to do my version of it rather than an exact copy not to mention the fact she has latex prosthetics on XD

anyhoo hope you enjoy, I know this is very different from what I have been posting so far but this is also the kind of makeup I am interested in, but if you don't liek this kind of makeup then just dont look.. simples, but if you do care I certainly had fun creating this and it took .. forever XD

and I will have to clean most of mt makeup brushes after all the stuff caked on them lol.

Eau La La Liner Rainbow *Review + Makeup Look*

I adore Rainbows and bright colors, so when Sleek came out with thier new eau La La Liners i knew i needed them in my makeup box, they have 20 colors avaliable, and i splurged out on 7 of them i went slightly mad when i got in there, and as they had only just been put out there werent any open ones to test so i had to wing it, though i am VERY happy with them with only a few complaints which i will explain later.

The colors i bought were:
1*white noise (matte white)
2*Canary yellow (matte mid toned bright yellow)
3*Pumpkin (matte mid toned bright orange)
4*Moulin \Rouge (matte mid toned red)
5*Rasin (matte deep red toned purple)
6*Tonic (matte with slight shimmer forest green)
7*Cobalt Blue (matte sky blue)

As you can see from the swatch picture these are VERY pigmented and I have to admit that picture is almopst the exact color they are in person apart from the green which is slightly more greeny (camera made it go blueish.) the packaging is nice too ^_^



Pro's:
.Good value for money £3.99 each compared to a mac pencil which is £14 admitidley they have the more muted everyday colors but thats why i adore these because they are so bright!
.very long lasting and they will NOT budge they only started to smudge when i rubbed my hand franticly, and when i tried to wash them with water they stayed beautifully.
.waterproof, as i said just, they dont move XD




Con's:
.they are a bit waxy which can make applying them a bit awkward until they soften up a little.
.when i opened mine the ends often snapped off and the red in particular still does and sharpening them is a nightmare as the pencils body material is plastic from what I can tell but with a bit of work you can get them sharpened up nicely. but be warned they are a CHORE to sharpen sometimes which really annoys me >_>
.color choices, as much as I adore the color choices I wish there where some more, like bright green and royal blue or lavendar and really bright purple but hey maybe one day they will as they are still new.




The Look I Created

Rainbow liner

Eyes:
all sleek liners mentioned
Mac bare study paint pot (as a lid base)

I wore this look the next day and it has so far lasted all day with little wear, again I'm extremely impressed!


Overall I adore these liners and am using them allot since I got them and will be buying more unfortunately for my wallet lol


I really suggest you try them out and I bought the black one and another blue after I originally started this post so I will be doing a review and test on the black as black never lasts on me so this will be interesting XD

Vampesque *makeup look*

 After playing around with my makeup for quite literally hours I decided to actually create a look, it definately looks vampy and the contact lenses add to the eerie feel I think, 

 

I love red as you may be able to tell from my hair, and I have an abundance of red eyeshadows and such so i just went mad with them and had no real direction on what i wanted.

 

The contact lenses I feel really finished off the look for me I think they look amazing and I adore the etheral look for eyes!

So for the products I used,

for my eyes there is:

*Mac Paint pot Soft Ochre

*Sugarpill loose shadow in Asylum

*sugarpill pressed shadow in Tako, Love+ and Bulletproof

*Maybelline Eyestudio gel eyeliner 

*Rimmel sexy curves mascara

for the lips:

*Sleek True color lipstick in cranberry (christmas limited edition sorry)

*lipcote!

and for my face:

*Body Shop extra virgin minerals loose powder foundation

*Collection 2000 concealer

*Sleek Blusher Fenberry (same christmas limited edition)

So overall im soo pleased looks allot nicer in person as my camera skills seem to be failing me today ^_^

i hope you like it and if you have any questions let me know and ill be happy to awnser ^_^

Becky *hugs*
