Red Lips.

After watching Sky Ferreira's music video to 'Red Lips', I was inspired to try them out for myself...



Red lips have never really gone out of fashion, looking good on people of any age (My Nanny still looks great with them!), however, I find that wearing them can be almost a balancing act between trashy and classy. 


The finished look.
 

Mmmm... Chocolate!

As the lipstick I used was quite glossy, I dulled my eyes down to a simple, winged eyeliner look with neutral eye-shaddows and a white liner for my water line. Before applying the lipstick, I moisturised my lips with some vaseline and chapstick- we don't want any cracked lipstick due to nasty, dry lips! Having bold red lips will also bring out any red-ish imperfections, so I used Rimmel's 'Wake me up Concealler' (recommended by Beautycrush) to hide my blemishes. I completed the look with some setting powder.

What I used:
  • L'OREAL Paris False Lash Flutter
  • Rimmel London lipstick- shade 164 Tantrum
  • Rimmel London Wake me up Concealler
  • Maybelline Dream Matte mousse shade 004, light porcelain
  • Collection pressed powder, shade 10
  • Collection fast Stroke eyeliner- black.
  • No7 Directional Powder Brush




                                                                                My verdict? hmmm...
                    I love them! Definately will be a member of my summer make-up looks.

hope you're all well!

OOTD: Birthday Meal   

The outfit.
(Apologies for the lack of photo's, only took one!)

Hey guys!

It was my 16th birthday recently, and to celebrate I decided to invite a few of my friends to a meal at a fantastic restaurant called RedHot- we had a brilliant time. :)

Since this was a semi-formal event, I decided to a pair a short body-con dress with some opaque tights and chained, heeled boots.  As the dress was pretty short, I kept my jewelry minimal with a long owl pendant and some gold studded earrings.

I also found that adding a military-styled blazer and a snood made the outfit smart but nice and warm.
Hope you like it!
