My make-up always takes me ages in the morning and the other day, I realised that it's because it takes me ages to decide what to wear! So this week, I decided what colours to wear before I go to bed, dug them all out, and it's been a lot quicker in the mornings!
Here's what I wore:
Eyes:
Fyrinnae Polar Bear (lid)
Fyrinnae Dance Macabre (crease)
Hi-Fi Another Day Another Drama (outer V)
Hi-Fi Slime and Snails (foiled as liner)
Cheeks:
Benefit 10
Lips:
Barry M lip gloss wand in Toffee
I was planning a lot more purple in this look but it wasn't working out for me! I liked the gold-green combo though.
Eyes:
Kyrolan Aqua Colour in UV Blue (base)
Fyrinnae Dinosaur Plushie (lid)
Fyrinnae Digital Faerie (crease and lower lashline)
Evil Shades Devil's Bonfire (outer V)
Cheeks:
NYC Creme Blush in Pink Flash with just a hint of MAC Stereo Rose
Lips:
Barry M lip gloss wand in Toffee
Sigh, I wish that Dinosaur Plushie would photograph well!
Eyes:
Fyrinne Moon Child (lid)
Sleek matte tan and brown from the Bohemian Palette (crease)
Cheeks:
Models Own blush in Warm Glow
Lips:
Maybelline liner in Royal Red
Barry M Lip Paint in 141 (Royal Raspberry)
Check me rocking out red lips! I'm always scared of red lips day to day, but I was doing office-based stuff at work that day rather than running round the bar, so I was able to touch it up if needs be. A layer of powder between layers of lippie really makes it last - This bad boy did me through a bag of sweets, two satsumas and three hours before I needed to touch it up.
Eyes:
Barry M Dazzle Dust in Oyster Grey (lid)
Barry M Dazzle Dust in Winter Berry (crease)
Fyrinnae Calavera Cupcakes (Inner corner, lower lashline)
Collection 2000 Extreme Liner in Purple
Cheeks:
Almay Blush in 130 Peach
Lips:
E.L.F Super Glossy in.... light pink?
Eyes:
Fyrinnae Digital Faerie (lid)
Barry M Dazzle Dust in Storm Cloud (crease)
Hi-Fi Morbid Faith (inner corner)
Wet n' Wild light iridescent blue from Sky's the Limit Duo (to blend crease)
Collection 2000 Glam Crystals liner in Va Va Voom
Cheeks:
MAC Springsheen Blush
Lips:
Barry M lip gloss wand in Toffee
No full face shot for you! Can anyone suggest a really dark navy eyeshadow? I like Storm Cloud but it blends horribly.
Well, this week has taught me I need to buy some more lipgloss! I'm nearly all out of my Barry M Toffee, which is my go-to, slightly nude gloss. Any suggestions for subtle, everyday glosses? How do you decide what makeup to wear in the mornings?

P.S. I have some make-overs coming up! I did a fun look on my friend Dolly Divine, me and my sister did each others make-up and hopefully I'll have shots from my first photoshoot up soon as well :)

I do it the same way ! Choose my colors before i go to bed. I have only a half hour in the morning , so don't have the time to choose my colors in the morning :D
ReplyDeletelovely colour choices! And as always, I'd quite like to scalp you and have your hair...in a totally non creepy way
ReplyDeleteDinosaur Plushie and Digital Faerie look gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI freaking love red lippie on you!!
ReplyDeletesweet! I don't even know which look I like the best because they all are pretty kick ass!
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with the 2nd look - it reminds me of the Little Mermaid! I need to try to recreate this and also check out Fyrinnae, seems like they have some amazing colours!
ReplyDelete1- you are such a sweet heart for the shout out. GAW I feel all embarrassed and I am blushing like a new bride. I accept the cybernetic pint. Gah why didn't we met when I lived in Paris : a little Eurostar later and we'd be meeting in a whim....
ReplyDelete2- I have a gorgeous matte navy blue but it's from Annabelle and they just sell in Canada...plus I think it was LE (if I can find it, I'll send it for sure...if you are not afraid to give your adress to a psychotic Canadian that want to drink pint in London with you, that is ...)
3- my favorite lipglosses are the Buxom (BE) ones : but they are so expensive ....Trixie is an awesome nude pink...

Beautiful looks! Its so amazing how you looks so different in each of your looks! Love the sparkley looks you did. But then again, you look awesome with the neutral eye and red lips! This is why makeup is so amazing, you can do so much fun things with it! Can't wait to see the makeovers you did!
ReplyDeleteOooh I love all of them! Especially the last two, and your necklace in the winterberry/oyster grey look! I may have to try that combo since you sent me samples of those two :D
ReplyDeleteI do the same thing you did -- I try to plan out the night before... especially now that I've got loads to get reviews up on. Sometimes though I still toss it aside and go for something more basic if I'm low on time.
@Luna: It still takes me half an hour!
ReplyDelete@Caz: Ok but you have to promise to wear it

@Phyrra: I'm so glad I finally wore Digital Faerie as a lid colour!
@Aoife: Aw, thanks! I'll have to try it more often!
@KittenMittens: Aw merci!
@Kat O: DO IT!
@MUA: If you find it, I'll be glad! And instead of a pint maybe I can send you something sparkly and british!
@The Peach: Aw, thankyou! I love how it changes how you look, too. Like I feel really different with red lips/neutral eyes.
Cydonian: The necklace was from Primark - total bargain. And you should try them together, they work really well! I wanted to add something else to make it more intense but I don't know what!
I really love the green crease in the first look, the sparkliness of the second look, and the glitter liner in the last one ^__^ the red lips are so gorgeous too.
ReplyDeleteI dont usually have too much of a problem picking out what I'm going to wear with makeup, because usually my brain will come up with something random right as I'm going to bed. But some days I just sit there for 10 minutes thinking D:
Ohmygosh LOVE
