Merry Christmas!

Just a quick note to wish you all a healthy, happy Christmas. If you don't celebrate, I hope you are all well! I have a very packed week or so ahead of me, so I will probably speak to you again in the new year. :)

Best Wishes

FOTD: It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

Hello! I thought today I would do a bit of a Christmas themed look. I know it's been done a thousand times before, but I love it. Glittery red lips and neutral, 50's style eye makeup.

Sorry my skin is bad and my lips are cracked at the corners. Oh well! Anyway, for this look I used:

Skin

e.l.f. Flawless Finish Foundation in Porcelain
Soap & Glory Kick Ass Concealer in Light
Fyrinnae Rapunzel Had Extensions (as cheek highlight)
Sleek Blush in Suede
Ulta blush, can't remember the shade

Eyes

Too Faced Shadow Insurance
Soap & Glory Lid Stuff in What's Nude
Asda George 4 colour eye palette in chestnut
Black mascara

Lips

Barry M Lip Liner in shade 3
Nyx Round Lipstick in Snow White
The Body Needs red glitter

Hope you like this look, and you all have a lovely Christmas if you celebrate!

FOTD: Living Dead Dragon

This is a look I wore last weekend when I went out for a friend's Hen party. I wanted to do something slightly 1920s inspired, so I went for a dark eye with green tones, which was darker at the inner eye area.

Sorry I look so miserable in the full face pic, I hate taking them haha! Anyway, here's what I used:

Eyes

Too Faced Shadow Insurance

Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil in Black Bean

Spellbound Cosmetics Dragon Scales

Hi Fi Cosmetics Living Dead Girl

MAC White Gold Pigment

Urban Decay 24/7 Liner in Zero

Illamasqua Volume Mascara in Harness

Face

e.l.f. Flawless Finish Foundation in Porcelain

Illamasqua Powder Blusher in Sin

Lips

Collection 2000 CreamPuff Moisturising Lip Cream in Angel Delight

Dragon Scales is the main colour in this look, it's a MAC Club-esque brown/green duochrome which, as usual, looks awesome over a black base. For this look, rather than my usual smoky look with this type of colour, I brought more of the dark colours into the inner eye area, quite high up which reminds me of the silent movie stars. I hope you like it!

EOTDs: Rainbow and Cut Crease

Hi everyone, just a quick post with a couple of the looks I've worn over the past week for you. The first one is a rainbow eye I did to wear to a makeup event I went to in Manchester.

It looks kinda faded in the pictures but it was quite bright in person, except for the inner corner. I can't remember exactly what I used, but I used Sleek Curacao palette and Kawaii from Shiro cosmetics for definite :)

The next look I wore last night to go see a production of Top Hat, which was really lovely!

I'm practising cut crease looks as I absolutely love how they look. It's a bit creased since I took these pictures when I got in at the end of the night. For this one I used Nyx jumbo eye pencils in Milk and Black Bean, Spellbound Cosmetics' Enchanted on the lid mixed with Shiro's Lolita. I used black and silver in the crease from a cheap Claire's palette. The waterline is a white pencil with Fyrinnae Omgwtf pressed over the top, and the lashes are Ardell demi 101s.

Hope you like them! I have picked up a fair bit of makeup lately, as I've been to the Clothes Show Live, so hopefully I will get some swatches up for you! I do plan on using a lot of it in my kit though so you might not see it in looks on here.

Experiments: Cut-Crease Attempt #1

Hello! I've been obsessing over makeup by Lauren aka queenofblending lately, and she is an expert in the cut crease look, so I wanted to see if I could do it myself! I've had a go using just simple colours and some glitter. Hopefully I will be able to do a modified version of this over the Christmas period, as I feel dragalicious makeup is totally appropriate for works do's, family gatherings and the like...

Aaand the obligatory blurry omg sparkly picture:

I'm actually really pleased with how this turned out. The lid looks a little dirty, so I would probably use a different colour other than white next time, and I'd use glitter which is closer to the eyeshadow colour. Cool as this one with reflects is, maybe its not perfect with this look.

I used:

Too Faced Shadow Insurance
Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in Zero
Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk
Sugarpill Tako
Sleek black from Curacao palette
Silvery/grey colour and dark grey from cheapo Claire's palette
White/green duochrome colour from Sue Moxley palette
No-name glitter eyeliner (as a base)
MAC Glitter Reflects Blue
Smashbox liquid eyeliner pen
Covergirl Lashblast

Hope you like it!

EOTD: Fire and Water

Hi everyone! This look is what I wore today; very bright and crazy colours but I still wore it out to the Post Office. That's how I roll. Here's the pics:

For this look I used:

Too Faced Shadow Insurance
Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk
Sleek Curacao palette (the light turquoise colour)
Sleek Aruba blusher
Sugarpill Flamepoint, Love+ and Poison Plum


Thanks for looking!

I'm Baaack!

Hello, I've finally got some looks to show you! Yay! Just a quick few photos, they're not the best quality as I'm just figuring out where the best place for light is etc.

This look was done using Fyrinnae Parental Advisory on the lid, with a little bit of Sennyo in the centre of the lid, and MAC Violet Pigment in the crease. I used Shiro Cosmetics Lolita to blend it upwards, and in the inner corner. On the lower lashline I used Barry M Kingfisher (I think!) and something else I can't remember (sorry!). But it was a deep teal with a blackened base.

Sorry for the terrible blurry photos, I blame the bad light! I used Wrapped Up from the Sleek Au Naturel Palette, and Urban Decay Sidecar on the lid, and I think I used Darkhorse on the lid. Another glitter bomb from Urban Decay as you can tell! I should've used some Pixie Epoxy with Sidecar, oh well...


And for those interested, I'll talk a little bit about the college course I'm doing. I've just started a course in fashion and photographic makeup, and I'm enjoying it so much! I've only been doing it for three weeks thus far, but I've enjoyed every minute. We finally got to get brushes in our hands this week, as we got our kits in and were shown how to apply foundation. So much fun! All the girls in the class seem really lovely, and I can't wait til we get to do some more colourful stuff! :D Let me know if there's anything you want to know about the course, you can contact me here or on Twitter if you like.

Bye for now!
