Dear Diary, today I want to be Gwen Stefani’s answer to make up instagrammers…
So what I’m trying to say is I’m doing my best to try do these make up/beauty image posts for my blog and instagram, but I want to make them cool like Gwen Stefani. Cos she’s my style icon duh…
I secretly admire all these air brushed, perfect, make up instagrammers. It’s like a whole new thing, the lighting, the make up skills etc… I have a lot of make up artist friends too, and I’ve personally been a bit obsessed with make up since I was a teenager. I’m not amazing but I like to try out techniques and learn.
I’m just having fun, it’s all a laugh and a journey but I like creating and trying out new things.
So for this look I decided I wanted to be cute, and girly but also a little bit 90’s / early 00’s bad ass…
I like playing with bold eye colours, and warm tones always suit me as I have green eyes, it makes them pop. So I decided to try an orange and pink look.
I recently received an awesome palette and some brushes from the babes at Swiitch Beauty in South Africa. I received their Unicorn Sauce Palette which is fulllll of amazing bold colours. I used it to create the bellow look, starting with a pink tone and blending it around my eye crease and adding the bold orange colour to the center of my lid. I kept it really simple using just two colours from the palette and then adding a lighter, shimmery pink from the same palette to my inner eye. So 3 colours in total were used from the pallet.
For the rest of my look:
I used NYX Liquid Liner
Bourjois Lipstick
Urban Decay Mascara
Bourjois Foundation applied using this Swiitch Beauty brush.
Highlight, Bronze and Blusher by Collection, applied using this Swiitch Beauty brush.
