Clinques exxy.

Hmm. Duty free is calling me on my travels...

What blush would you recommend?

Anything?

Na i love sugarbaby eye lip and cheek tint - its justa cute healthy glowy blush, plus you cant really go THAT wrong with it. Plus it makes your lips nice too.

when i use blush i usually just use the stuff i got in my eyeshadow kit - blush can just be a pink powder too!

Oh and lets share a random tip?
If you fuck up and get mascara on your eyelid WAIT UNTIL IT DRIES.
Then it sort of just... flakes off. Well not flakes but it comes off easier than smugding everywhere and is worse to get off that way

Haha that reminds me of the other day. I had my make-up perfect, I'd just finished applying mascara - and then I SNEEZED. And my entire under-eye area was a smudgy black mess. Attractive.

I don't understand the point of mascara, I can't notice a change at all in my face? Also the lip gloss/balm doesn't seem to have made much of a difference at all really. I know it's apparently good makeup skills to make it look like you're not wearing any, but I don't see the point of that??

After a bit of hemming and hawing I have decided I think I notice a slight difference from the side - my eyes don't look as plain. Interesting!

Do they sell mega eye markers or eye paint rollers because it sure seem like it, the way a lot of girls are getting around at the moment *clever observation*

A'la Amy winehouse?

yeah. Its called giant connector pens.

I have a question O gurus of makeupingness:

How oh how are you supposed to do smoky eyes? I have long wondered at this, how do you do it without making yourself look like a dickhead with black eyes?

I can help with smoky eyes haha.
It's pretty much all about layering and blending.

Seriously, go on you tube, there's this one girl who shows you how to do all these wicked eyes

the leona lewis one is probably the closest to a smokey eye. But she does everything! She even does Hayley from Paramore and Amy Winehouse looks.


Another one was this one:

it looks like a lot of work, but thats the one i used to do mine tonight.

It takes practice.

Start with eyeliner. Line the inner and outer eye, both top and bottom.

Start with darkest colour, and get lighter as you go along.

Depending how you want your eyes to look, generally start with the darkest colour on the outer corner of your eye, then go a shade lighter and cover a greater area. And so on.

Make sure that you only do a little bit at a time. Generally I use the makeup applier (the ones that are nicer versions of cotton tips lol), and then I have a brush which is about 6mm wide, and I use that to blend the makeup and make it go where I want it to on my eye

Always do your eyes BEFORE putting on foundation etc, so if you stuff up you can just start again.

This is one of my smoky eye looks...



Oh, and you can use colour with a smoky eye!! Just not bright. I usually use deep blue or green

can we see it in colour? coz you can't really tell in b&w.
pweease

Woah, peachy, dude, see that video on her home page thing? That chick's totally famous!


Fascinating...

I like Ness's smoky eye look, 'tis pretty.

my name is me wrote:Woah, peachy, dude, see that video on her home page thing? That chick's totally famous!

I know eh!
The ironic part is that she said she never had any friends, and now she's probably the most popular out of all of them!
But I love her videos.

I clicked on the link and started watching that video as well!

Fascinating indeed!

Umm Ill find a colour pic... it was taken in B&W



This is a pic from another night

Smokey eyed people, I found one of her videos where she does an inspired look of that Tokyo Hotel dude, it's a pretty smoky eye and it looks really easy.

Those videos are awesome! They make me want to be all creative and try them all out, but then when I'm feeling inspired I realise that I don't have much in the way of eyeshadows...

But that last link, the Tokyo Hotel one, I tried that out and it's sooo simple, but I think it looks pretty cool - and now I bet I'll never be able to replicate it again haha.

Bassssiccccc but she makes it seem easy hey??

I dunno. Most people can absolutely not pull of a FULL smokey eye or eye full of black or grey. Thought id say.

AND. she puts on her mascara wiht her mouth closed!!
ITS NOT JUST ME!

Thats my secret talent right there.


I want to do a video one day of something really cool though. Not sure what.

Twiggy? Yeah maybe.

SAME!

Whenever I wear eyeliner underneath my eye (as opposed to just on my eyelid) or if I use eyeshadow under my eye, it always ends up smudging and I look like a panda. (rant)
