UV Shoot

I thought I'd show you guys a few photos I've got back from a UV shoot I went on last weekend. It was quite a small shoot and I didn't do the most astonishing or well executed makeup in the world, but it was really fun. Be warned - there are some boobs in this post, but they're well covered. Sorry, pervs.

 Me and a very messy table by Dark Horse Photos. Here be nudes, should you click on it.

A lovely shot of how messy I manage to make an enormous work station! It's very boring hanging around waiting for models/set up/people to make you tea and I felt very underdressed with no UV makeup on, so I switched my eyebrows while I was waiting ;)

The UV makeup I used was a combination of Kryolan Aqua Colors, Sleek Acid (not all of them are UV, just the neon green, yellow, orange and pink) Fardel paints and Evil Shades:

Forgive my dry lips, but that's Evil Shade's Fateful*. Cool huh? Their 'Backtalk' blush glows too.

That's all for now, shiny seekers!

*D'oh, it's actually Fearless, but apparently the glitter in Fateful is also UV reactive :)

Face n' that...

I always do multi-purpose posts. Do you guys think this is a good thing or a bad thing? I'd rather cram a few of my looks/manis into one post than spam you with my face everyday.

So a couple of manis first. I was really pleased with all the lovely comments that I got on my water marbling post that I did another one when I took that one off. It was difficult because I had to use tap water and I was using a polish which, while awesome looking, is basically one of those ones thats an emulsion of micro-glitters and it didn't spread that well. But I loved the result!





Both colours were L.A Colors Color Craze. I totally recommend these polishes for a bargain brand if you can find them in the UK because they're only £1.50 (I think in the States you can get them in Dollar Tree, etc.)The silver is Live and the turquoise is Radiation. Pretty neat mani, huh?



This is what I'm wearing today. I get so many comments whenever I do leopard nails, and it is the EASIEST. NAIL ART. EVOR. All you do is a blob in the middle (optional) and then draw c's and o's - and if its wobbly, it's better! I used Barry M Matte White for the base (crap, crap, craparoo), Barry M Yellow and Cobalt Blue, La Colours in Lightning (pink) and Atomic (turquoise) and a black nail art striper/pen.





There were a couple of green and purple psychobilly-esque looks on Make Up Geek recentley so I thought I'd give it a go. My liner sucked that day and I think I could have done a better job. I just don't have the brows to do pin-up looks. I used Barry M's Pearly Mauve and Parrot Green and NYX Super Creamy, and I wore a sheer-ish red gloss from MUA. I think maybe I used a brown for blending because the purple seems not-so-purple.

And now my favourite look of the week!







It was inspired by MatthewLX's Rihanna inspired look (click iiiiiit) and I just had to do something! I used the three matte neutrals from Sleek Bohemian palette and a neon pink Fardel Maquillage, with Sarah Harding Girls Aloud lashes. I love these lashes because they don't bop around all over the lenses of my glasses!

Thats all for now guys n' gals :) xxx

P.S: Sleek Circus Palette, which isn't due out till Wednesday, got leaked into some stores today. I didn't get one yet, but go have a looksie just in case!

More Evil Shades and massive pink lashes...

Oh! Before I begin you've got until midnight tonight (I'd say UK time but... well, till I get up tomorrow) to enter my GIVEAWAY!


Anywoo... In love with my Evil Shades still. I did a kick ass look with Gift, River, Devil's Bonfire and Suffocation yesterday, but did I take a photo? No. That would be sensible. I've been a bit crap with that at the moment, but I'm really not feeling my skillz this week or so.

So... more swatches.



I love Necropolis, its so beautiful irl - dark brown base with tons and tons of copepry shimmer in it. Inferno is a bad ass hot pink with gold/silver sparkles - I find that finding pinks that I like with good payoff is really difficult, especially brighter shades. Souls Torment is AMAZING. It reminds me of Barry M's Oyster grey, but a bit more purple, with loads of blue sparkles. Double Barrel is, as the name suggests, a gun-metal colour, and I see rainbow sparkles in it. Glooming is yet again a deep, true black, with deep blue sparkles in - I didn't swatch this over a sticky base so the glitter didn't show up, but trust me, its crammed in there!

Anyway - here's a simple look with Seraphic all over the lid with a little bit of Zombie blended in the outer crease and on the lower lashline. The copper colour in the crease is er... something else?





I'm really loving Seraphic - it bring out my eye colour really nicely. The next look has Wistful all over the lid, Suffocation in the crease, Reondite in the inner corner and I think a bit of Nola in the outer V and I wore this with the Guilty as Sin Wicked Gloss. Excuse the unblended highlight :S




Anyway, sure you all get it by now: I love Evil Shades, go buy some. Now I want to yabber on about my Fardel UV pink make-up.




Fardel liquid make-up is just what it says it is, and it can be used for air-brushing or painting straight on the face. It was five quid for 30ml, which will last me forever. I picked up a UV pink one and had a little play:










How amazing is that pink? I am such a whore for pink eyebrows, and I don't know why because I don't want pink hair.... hmm. Anyway, I'm definitely going to get some more of these Fardel paints, I think they'd be great for detail work. The lashes are from eyelashesdirect.co.uk, who I totally recommend if you're in the UK. They were 99p! If you'd have bought these from Stargazer or similar, they'd have cost about £7! I'd really, really recommend them, they dispatched my order the same day I placed it! Most lashes are just £2.50 as well! Anyway, thanks to the lovely Jonna of nukleopatra who gave me the inspiration for this look- your Jeffree Star look made me want to play with some pink!



See you soon! x
