Last Minute Halloween Costume | Fortune Teller

It's that spooky time of year again! For all you guys who can't ever seem to plan a costume on time, look no further! Using whatever I could find in my draws and a quick 10 minutes for makeup, I created a spooky/ slightly sexy? fortune teller look. You can choose whatever colour you want but I chose purple because it's a pretty spooky colour right? I dunno..anyway here's how to do it!

EYES 

The main feature to this look is the eyes. Starting with a base of purple shadows, I used a mixture of light and dark tones, cover the outer edge of you eyelid. Don't be afraid to go over the lid towards your eyebrow...the more the merrier at this point! 

Add black shadow or another dark shade into the crease and begin to blend it out and around your eye to give you a smokey, deeper shade. If you use a clean brush to blend you can avoid accidentally  placing more eye shadow then you intended...wish I followed my own advice..

Taking a silver shimmer liner and a brush (You can also use a black liner pen and add silver shadow ontop as a replacement) neatly draw a wing first, ending it in line with your eyebrow. From there you can easily line around the top of your eye, extending the line down from the corner of your eye. The bottom line doesn't need to be as think as the top, so just slowly paint the liner on starting from the corner until it meets the wing. Fill in any gaps or neaten it up making sure it's evenly distributed.  

Because brows need as much attention as your eyes, add a little purple shadow over them because why not? you can also add a little bit of that silver liner if your feeling really crazy. 

FACE

Now for every basic bitches favour part of their makeup routine, contour. For this look I went a little over board with the bronzer and highlighter because theres only really 2 days a year you can go look like a glowing goddess.. halloween and your birthday. 

LIPS

Now its time for some ruby lips. If you have a berry/ purple shade then that would be perfect but red can work just as well depending on how noticeable you want them to be. I always find darker shades hard to apply so if you're a little clumsy a brush makes all the difference. 

Back to that trusty silver liner again, using a brush apply a light coat around your lips as a sort of liner. You can also add a little onto your lips but make sure you can still see that colour through it! This just adds a little mystical touch to turn your look from normal to halloweeny. 

Now that the make up is all sorted and have that mystical glow, you just need to throw on some jewellery to finish off the look! I put on some purple hooped earrings, 3 gem stone necklaces because the more the merrier! and used a coin necklace as a head piece by pining it into my hair. (yes I moved rooms for the last 2 pictures so I look more tanned #paleproblems) 

Now you're all ready to cast some spells and cause some destruction  ;) 

Happy Halloween xx 

50 Shades Of Pink Valentines Makeup

Whether you've got a hot date planned with your bae or you're hitting the town with the girls valentines day is a great excuse to pink it up! Whether that be with a bold new pink dress or just some subtle heart patterned knickers it's hard not to get caught up in the day of love. 

I thought i'd show you a quick valentines themed makeup look that will melt anyones heart. 

Firstly start of with applying just your usual concealer, foundation and power to make you look flawlessly fabulous. 

 Now add a little highlighter, I used the Benefit Whats Up! highlighter and blended it into my cheeks, nose and under my eyes, to help with that glowing "in love" look. 

 

A touch of light pink blusher adds a final glowing touch to your look, I used Benefit's Dandelion blusher. 

Please excuse my "i look like I'm sleeping" look, I honestly don't know that other girls show their eye makeup without looking awkward. Anyways, first put a light pink or white shimmer around your whole eyelid and under your brown. Then add a more pinky colour on top and finally with a dark pink/browny pink, define the crease in your eyelid. This gives your eyes an ombre pink look, the shadows I used were all from Urban Decay's Naked 2 Pallet: Bootycall, Chopper and Tease. 

Then it's time to sort out them brows girl! If you want to know how I do my brows check out my other post "Brow Down To Me". 

Nothing scream sexy like some killer winged eyeliner, but since this makeup is more for a date rather then a night out, subtlety goes along way. Thin with a tiny flick is a way to go, just make sure you have a steady hand! 

Now add your usual eyeliner to your waterline and mascara to give you some flirty lashes. 

I was debating on whether to use pink lipstick or a nice hot red, but personally i thought pink went better with this look. I used Mac's Please Me lipstick (The perfect name considering 50 shades of grey just came out ;) ) 

To make my lips look kissable and cute, I added a pink shimming gloss over the top of the lipstick. 

And finally, Valentines day can't be Valentines day without some sexy red thrown in there. Dab a little red along your cheekbones to define them as well as add a final touch of romantic colour to your look. 

The final look! If you want to add a final touch to your look add some cute curls to give you a relaxed but pretty look. 

Happy Valentines Day! Hope this gives those of you out there still stressing out some tips
