Pastel Eyes- featuring Sugarpill Heartbreaker Palette

It was a pretty miserable Monday morning, bad weather, no more weekend, back to work. So it felt necessary to have some colour in my day.

When I think colour, I think Sugarpill. So I grabbed my Sweetheart palette and set to work.

It ended up being quite a subtle look as I used a neutral base. Next time I might go for a white base to make it brighter.

Burgundy Lips - Featuring Rocker from Mac

Mac finally released their By Request collection on the UK website.

The collection was a vote by customers to bring back their favourite limited edition products.

After voting ended the three winning lip glosses, lipsticks and eye shadows were announced.

A few pieces caught my eye and today I have the perfectly vampy and on trend lipstick in Rocker.

It's a gorgeous matte burgundy with tiny gold flecks. I love this colour, perfect for the winter months!

FOTD - Turquoise Eyes featuring Urban Decay

It felt like time to bring out my Urban Decay 15th Anniversary Palette. For some reason I seem to neglect it slightly (might have something to do with the obscene amounts of eyeshadow that I own!).

The blues were what drew me in so I created the look below. Bright but smokey.

FOTD - Firey Eyes - Featuring Sugarpill's Burning Heart Palette

So I'm pretty late on the Hunger Games bandwagon, but over the past week I've made it through 2 and a half of the books. And I love them!
Needless to say fire has been on the mind and as a result it seemed appropriate to get out my Burning Heart Palette from Sugarpill Cosmetics.

Rather a bright look that ended up having an outing to dance training, but everyone loved it so who cares if it's a bit bright!

Red Lips - Featuring Mac's Russian Red Lipstick

This was a quick look I did before work the other day. I felt in the mood for red lips so I got out my trusted Russian Red lipstick by Mac.

I lined my lips and filled in the corners using a darker colour also from Mac called Currant then applied Russian Red lipstick over the top creating a slight gradient to the lips.

On the eyes I just used Urban Decay's Naked Palette along with their 24/7 Liquid Eyeliner in Perversion

FOTD featuring Sugarpill's Asylum

I love how shimmery this chromalust from Sugarpill is. Although red isn't going to be everyone's go to eyeshadow colour, I can't help but lover trying to make it wearable.
Asylum is the perfect red, nicely pigmented and very easy to work with.

In order to tone down the fact that I was wearing red, I paired it with a neutral in the inner corner of the eye and then a red based black in the outer corner, creating an alternative smokey eye.

Dior Colourblocking Look

I was flicking through some makeup images that I saved on my computer and came across and old Christian Dior shot from one of their summer collection catwalk shows (I believe it was 2011)
Instantly I wanted to try the yellow version, especially as chartreuse is one of the colours for this coming season!

So at 10.30 at night I decided I'd give it ago (seeing as it doesn't strike me as being all that work friendly!)
Apologies for the less that great photo quality, I haven't really got much in the way of decent lighting so had to try and improvise a bit.
