Mix and Match

Each individual women  all are different shapes and sizes.
There are many shapes, hourglass, rectangle, pear , apple etc.
There are also different sizes, petite, tall , short and regular.

I`m a pear shape/hourglass shape, small breast, small waist , big hips and big thighs with the extra love handle!
Although I`d love to say I was completely satisfied with my figure, I`m not but I am comfortable with myself.
How can you ever feel confident within yourself whatever your shape and size when people in society have a expectation of how a woman should appear.
The media actually control how we see ourselves, in a way. Woman like Beyonce Knowles, Meagan Fox and Meagan Good are a mans average female.




As amazing as they look, which we all know they do.. theres no denying. We cant physically make ourselves look like that, because thats not your average woman. Even they too have imperfections such as stretch marks, cellulite and love handles!

Regardless of your shape or size you should never hide your imperfections, you should embrace them. When you love yourself in your own skin, others can to. Be confident with yourself, you can make adjustments to your appearance but you`ll always be the same person from the inside.

Who is anybody to say somebodies not beautiful .

Green and Black Smokey Eye, Oh and nude Lip!

Hey guys!
I decided to create a " green eye" and " nude " lip look because I just could`nt get it to work with my eye colour which is grey/green and after a holiday they`re like sky blue. Weird, I know.

What I come up with was a shimmery smokey green and black eye , Which would look amazing on every eye colour especially brown! It`s very dramatic even without false lashes but it would complete the look with full and thick false lashes.

Products Used:
MAC blacktrack fliud line
Rimmel the MAX mascara (http://www.superdrug.com/)
Mac Vanilla pigment
Body shop strawberry lipbalm (http://www.bodyshop.co.uk/)
GOSH Darling lipstick (http://www.superdrug.com/
Urban Decay Primer Potion
(Available from Boots,Debenhams,ASOS)
W7 Eye shimmer trio-Mermaid
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/w7-eye-trio-shimmer-mermaid-/150484835925

Brushes used:
MAC 263 Small angle brush
MAC 249 Large shader brush
MAC 222 Taperd blending brush
MAC 217 Blending brush

All MAC products are available from: http://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/ (UK Website)
and http://www.maccosmentics.com/ (US Website) or any MAC store.



So this what I come up with:


Excuse the shine! Ew.

Firstly, I take a tiny amount of Urban Decay Primer potion and place it onto the eye lid, up to the brow bone for a base. This will make the colours more vibrant and last longer. Then I apply a small amount MAC vanilla pigment for the highlight using the MAC 222 Taperd blending brush onto the brow bone.
You can use any flat or taperd brush to apply highlight.



The white stuff on my lashes was the Clinque Lash building Primer.

I then apply the lightest shade in the w7 trio into the inner corner of the eye using the MAC 249. You could use any pencil brush or flat shader brush to do this.


Using the same 249 brush I apply the darkest shade in the w7 trio to the rest of the eye lid, making sure not to go over the inner corner of the eye.
I then take the MAC 217 brush, any blending/crease brush will do.
I then blend the lighter and darker colours together were they met, but not pushing the darker colour so far into the inner corner.

Now using the MAC 249 I apply a small amount of MAC black track fluid line onto the outer third.


Then using the MAC 217 I blend the MAC black track into the crease giving the outer corner depth and working the way into the inner corner of the eye in cricle motions.

I then apply MAC black track fluid line to the top of the lid for a winged kind of effect and a few coats of Rimmel the MAX mascara!




 This is the finished look, you could now apply false lashes if you choose too.
For the lips I just used Body shop strawberry Lip balm for  moistuer and a lip base
followed by a nude lipstick , I`m using  GOSH Darling Lipstick.


So thats basically how I acheived this look, I hope you liked it. I know I did :)
