A while back, I was meant to do a guest post swap with someone, but it never went through, so I thought I would share it with you today instead, 'cause a couple of people have asked me to do a look with colour.
The idea for this swap was to create a dramatic look, and I didn't fancy going for the usual 'dramatic' look of bold lips and winged liner, so I decided to go for something colourful.
Here is what I used to create it:
Base:
Maybelline Dream Nude Airfoam (don’t really like this foundation
but trying to use it up)
Rimmel Match Perfection Concelaer – Eyes
Collection 2000 concealer – Blemishes
Maybelline Dream Matte Powder
Eyes:
The Bottom blue (over the lid) and the blue above (in the crease)
Maybelline Colour Tattoo In On and On Bronze (upper lash line)
MAC Powersurge, waterline
Maybelline One by One Mascara
Face:
MAC Frankly Scarlett
Bourjois Bronzer
No.7 Vital Enlightening Highlighter
Lips:
No.17 Lipstick in All About the Sass
So Shen and Rachel, I hope this satisfies your need for colour, but whilst this was fun to create, I don't know if I will be wearing it out anytime soon.
Do you like playing with colour?

I like it. It really suits you. I love your natural looks anyway but this was fun to see how you created it! I like how you used blues and pinks together too which is something a lot of people shy away from!

I think the blue really suits your eyes, would look great on a night out :) x
ReplyDeleteThanks Hayley :)

Wow, I must be used to you in neutrals because you look SO different! Not in a bad way though, I like this! It's really striking, would be good on a night out, as Hayley said.
ReplyDeleteI always used to wear really bright eyeshadow, it was 'my thing' to match it to my socks and hair band haha!! I was such a cool teenager. Jealous you can still pull it off! xxxx
Haha, I did take this a while ago, I think it was around Aprilish time!!!
DeleteAw thanks :)
Haha, oh you really are too cool :) I used to so stuff like that, I had to match things to the colour of my shoes!!!

YAYA! Colour! Looks lovely hun, think you should wear this out. maybe with a nude lip rather pink and maybe a bit of a neutral for blending? Bit more you then?

Haha, just for you ;)
DeleteUmm, I don't know, maybe! Probs save it for fancy dress haha!

It's always fun to experiment with colour every now & then. The soft turquoise is really light and summery :) I like how you paired it with the taupe/bronze eyeliner. But I'm definitely with you when it comes to playing it safe with our usual neutrals :)
ReplyDeleteLooks really lovely, and it's funny you should post this today as I was just thinking this morning that I must experiment with some colour today! - I'll do a post of the finished results!

Love this but I like your normal looks also. Im a huge lover of the naked palettes so I rarely wear colourful eye makeup but I think you may have inspired me to try it xx
ReplyDeleteThank you, you've left me two lovely comments tonight, thanks for making my evening :)
DeleteI want the Naked palettes soo much!!!
xoxo
I really like this look, it's good to see you going outside of your comfort zone! I look forward to seeing you experiment with more colours :) it's also my aim at the moment, I bought MUA's Glamour Days palette in the hope that it will encourage me to use some of the more 'crazy' colours!
