Twiggy eye tutorial..

Yesterday i tried out a twiggy eye makeup tutorial, it didn't turn out as good as i had expected but thought i could still post about it as other people make be able to do what i did but neater. I took a picture of each step i made in the tutorial, and this is what i did:

first put a white (what i used) or neutral eyeshadow lightly all over the eyelid and really blend it out to remove any harsh lines in the shadow.

Then begin to draw on in black eyeliner a line just about the crease line to really enhance the socket of your eye this is what twiggy did with her makeup.

this is what it should look like now..

Then put a thin coat of mascara on to prime the lashes before using false eyelashes

I used quite thick eyelashes because they was the only ones i had, twiggy used quite neutral lashes but they was quite thick. 

After applying eyelashes start to draw on eyelashes on the lower lashes with a black eyeliner mine didn't go very neat but im sure you can do a better job.

this was my finished look, it would be great fancy dress makup if you was going as twiggy and could help students studying makup. 


I hope you liked the look, i know its not wearable but could come in handy one day... 

thankyou

EYESHADOWS!

I have been trying to get more color into my makeup, I'm not really colorful on the face. but i want to start wearing colored eyeshadow. so i have been trying out different eyeshadows most of them was blues or purples and i took a few pictures of some what i was trying out but the lighting it really bad because it was dark out sorry!


 On this look i used my W7 eyeshadow pallet with light greens/blues and dark blues, i used quite a mixture.
 On this look i used a mixture of No7 eyeshadows all in shades of browns and creams and blended them all together.

 on this look i also used a mixture of colors from small No7 pallets in different shades of greens

 This look was my least favorite but i used some colors from an elf pallet and a dazzle dust from 17.
 This is just another neutral look, pretty boring but its very much in my zone and was also a mixture of many of my eyeshadows.
 I love this look, i used a gold mac eyeshadow (gorgeous gold) and really blended it out and applying a black eyeshadow as an eyeliner really softens the eye with a really white soft inner corner.

Thank for reading!

Favorite friday

Hey dolllllys,

So this is my first “favourite of the week (thingy)” because its FRIDAY.
I’m going to be talking about my DIY jeans…
I bought these jeans purposely to rip and make them all messy hahaaa, I didn’t think they would actually ture out looking like anything decent, they were only about £8 from primark (I bought cheap ones because I didn’t think they was going to turn out right). So I also bought one of those really cheap but really sharp razor blade things (I think it was a wilkinsons blade thingy one, with the white packaging) from boyes (the really cheap store probably only in England) and started like “blading” my jeans.
Loving them at the mooooo, because they are reallth thin jeans and there comfy and cooool.

Thanks xo

Hey dolls,
I have decided to make my blog a bit more, open? Maybe? I’m not sure how to describe it, just make it more I guess, but anyhoooo I’m going to start doing “favourite of the week” and what it will be is every week (lets say every Friday) I will post one of my favourite things, say what I love about it, what it is and things about it, it could be anything, nail things make-up clothing, just something I use in general around the house, food (probably a lot of food hahhaaa). But yeah I thought it would give me something to post instead of not posting anything but outfit of the days.

Hopefully you will all enjoy my favourite of the week thingy (p.s. leave a comment below and tell me what to call it) and people will become more interested.

thankks ox

This is me (middle) and two of my friends before prom, we went on a vintage bus, there was eight of us all together but picked them up before going for photos at a nice park, the night was great, dancing all night long. we all had a lovely three course meal and i ate it all up, when getting to the desert my dress was tightening though ;) 

This is me and my best friend Amy on the bus to prom! gotttttta love her!
She is one of my closest friends though school and we are going to different college's! also we live at opposite ends of the city to each other so we probably wont see each other as much as we did at school, she will be missed alot!
