Review & Swatches: Morphe Brushes 35T Eyeshadow Palette

oninReviews

I don’t think I’ve seen a more beautiful piece of makeup. Ever! The colours; Plums, taupes, rose golds and sumptuous olive greens. The tones; Cool, soft, neutral. The textures; smooth, silky and easy to blend. The finishes; mattes, satins, super, shiny metallics and with a sprinkle of sparkle. Gorgeous. Gorgeous. GORGEOUS! Admittedly, the outer packaging does it no favours. Simple, not sleek. Black. And boring. Plastic yet functional. The term…

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer vs Make Up For Ever Pro Bronze Fusion Review by Face Made Up

REVIEW: Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer vs Make Up For Ever Pro Bronze Fusion

oninReviews

Make Up For Ever Pro Bronze Fusion in 25I (Left) and Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer in Radiant Bronze Light (Right). One of the few makeup products that I wouldn’t want to live without is probably a bronzer (along with mascara, brows and concealer). It’s ability to bring life to a sallow complexion and transform it by giving it a radiant, sun- kissed glow to your dull, tired skin should never be…

Orange Warm Eyes & Peach Lips with Gerard Cosmetics Hydra Matte Liquid Lipstick in Serenity by Face Made Up

Warm, Orange Tone Eyes with Peach Lips – Gerard Cosmetics ‘Serenity’

oninLooks

So this look was part inspired by the colour of the top, a plunge neck cami from Topshop, that I’m wearing in the video which is kind of a burnt orange shade, part me just wanting to make use of the bright, matte orange shade in the Jaclyn Hill Favourites palette by Morphe Brushes and then part creating a look that would look perfect with the new Gerard Cosmetics Hydra…

Sunset Inspired Eyes with Makeup Geek Eyeshadows

oninLooks

So apparently this is the second time I’ve created a sunset inspired eye look featuring Makeup Geek eyeshadows. What can I tell you? I’m a warm tone girl at heart and a Makeup Geek eyeshadow fanatic! If you want to see the first one I created a few months ago, you can see that here where I used a mix of different eyeshadows to this video combined with the foiled eyeshadows.…

Cool Tone Spotlight/Halo with Makeup Geek Wisteria by Face Made Up

Cool Tone Spotlight/Halo Eyes with Makeup Geek Wisteria

oninLooks

So I recently picked up a couple of the new Makeup Geek Foiled Eyeshadows in the shades Wisteria and Starry Eye.  Whilst Starry Eye is already a favourite, and just like one of their originals, In the Spotlight, I was intrigued by the shade Wisteria. And whilst I do like my plum tones, Wisteria is a light, bright and very cool, as in icy cool, silvery, lavender shade. I asked myself whether…

Wedding Guest Makeup Tutorial by Face Made Up

Wedding Guest Makeup Tutorial- Loreal Infallible Eyeshadow Amber Rush

oninLooks

I wanted to create a wedding guest makeup look because, having been to a wedding a couple of weeks ago, and heading to a wedding in another couple of months time, aside from the dress, how I was going to do and wear my makeup was up there on my stress list. First world problems, I know. For a wedding guest look I want something that is glamorous yet understated, because…

Summer Bold Lips and Bronzed, Dewy Skin by Face Made Up

Summer Bold Lips with Bronzed, Dewy Skin – BECCA X Jaclyn Hill Champagne Pop

So I was super excited to receive my Sephora parcel in the post recently. Why I hear you ask? Well I don’t often order online from Sephora because seeing the total cost included shipping/taxes/handling almost makes me pee my pants a little. Strange that as I seem to handle it better when I pay for shipping upon checkout, and then taxes/handling upon arrival to the UK, even though it’s the same…

Battle of the US Liquid Lipsticks by Face Made Up

Battle of the US Liquid Lipsticks; Stila, L.A. Girl, Kat Von D, Girlactik & Coloured Raine

oninReviews

Liquid lipsticks seem to have taken the beauty world by storm. Catering to the needs of women (and men) who are after that intense colour payoff, coupled with longevity, whilst all packaged up in a liquid yet matte formulation, housed in a deceptive, ‘traditional’ lipgloss package. Confused? Don’t be! As it does not appear to be going anywhere soon. I previously did a blog post on budget liquid lipsticks almost a…

LA Girl Matte Flat Finish Pigment Gloss Review & Swatches – Dreamy, Bazaar & Timeless

Before I do my review of some of the most popular US liquid lipsticks on the market, I thought I’d sneak this little review in first. Hailing from the west coast, the LA Girl Matte Flat Finish Pigment Gloss caters to those on a budget.  Retailing at a mere $5 in the US and £6.95 over here in the UK, the price is too good not to get your attention.…

Make Up For Ever Artist Shadows – Review & Swatches

oninReviews

So I recently picked up some Make Up For Ever Artist Shadows recently and I have to say that I was very surprised how truly impressed with the quality of the eyeshadows. They are quite pricey which is why I think I’ve held off for so long. Until now. First, I picked up two, which was quickly followed by four, and then by another six (Debenhams were offering 10% off…

Gerard Cosmetics Lipsticks Review & Swatches

oninReviews

Following on from my review and swatches of the Gerard Cosmetics lip glosses, today I’ll be reviewing the lipsticks with swatches of course. The golden bullet babies are beautiful. The finish is matte, but not super matte. Upon application, they aren’t as creamy as the likes of the Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution or the YSL Rouge Pur Couture The Mats, yet they wear quite comfortably on the lips and don’t dry…

I’m not gonna lie…wearing colour on the eyes absolutely terrifies me! Actually, and I’ve mentioned this before, I have to be in the right mood to wear even a red lip. I am a neutral girl through and through and the most adventurous I would go with the eyes is maybe a purple? or even a peachy coral ? But sometimes, especially when I see fashion and beauty editorials or…

How to Contour and Highlight a Round Face with the Smashbox Contour Kit

I love a bit of good old contouring and for my round face, it’s a necessity. However, on an everyday basis, I tend to stick to a bit of subtle powder contouring becuase ain’t nobody go time for that. However, when I wanna look fierce, I come out with all guns blazing with a bit of cream contouring and then setting it in place with the corresponding product in it’s powder…
