Eyebrows. They totally frame the face. I happen to be very particular about my eyebrows, and if they aren’t in a good state, I get in a strop! I get mine professionally threaded at a local Brow Bar, and these can be found everywhere, from malls to beauty salons! I’d definitely recommend this method of grooming, because it leaves the brows looking clean and perfect. If you like doing your eyebrows yourself, I’d advice you to first allow a professional to thread them, so you can have a guide of how your eyebrows should look, then if you want, you can just pluck the… Read More »

A look I often sport. It’s simple, and I’m sure everyone can have a go! All that is required is the right blending technique, a little smudged smoky layer, and you’re good. If you want, you can amp it up by increasing the black on the outer corner or even add more liner to the lower lash line to make it even more smokier…it’s up to you! This is just how I achieve mine! 🙂 Products Used ~ Eyes ~ Primer : UDPP Base : Jumbo Pencil, Black Bean (NYX) Lid : Tempting (MAC) Crease : Cork, Texture (MAC) Outer Corner :… Read More »

I’ve had requests (many times) to do an updated version of My Everyday Face. So here it is! It should also help those who were wondering about what makeup I used in my last few outfit posts!  I also get asked a lot about my eyebrows and how I keep them groomed, well the answer really is simple: I visit a professional “Threadist” once every two weeks to get them threaded and shaped! You can look up Brow Bars, or Beauty Shops that offer this service in your area! Prices of threading do vary, depending on area and service! Hope… Read More »

A very fun and easy way I’ll be wearing my hair this fall, as I’m nursing it back to health! If you want, you could add a styling serum or moisturiser before the braid, and spray it afterwards with a holding spray! I really like ORS Olive Oil moisturiser and Tresseme’s Holding Spray! 🙂 All you need for the braid.. Comb Hair tie Bobby Pins Hope you try it!

If like me, you’ve been watching the X-Factor and have been totally blown away by Kelly’s beauty and flawless makeup, you’d understand why I chose to do a look inspired by one of the ones she’s sported. I’ve loved every single one, but in particular the gold & purple smokey eye she had on with a pink lip!This is my recreation, hope you enjoy. Products Used..
