Mini Make Up Tips Monday; Lips

Lips are sometimes the first thing people see especially if you have red lipstick on.  There are also loads of different options to choose from, like gloss, satin or Matt finishes and any colour.  So here's when to use those options;

1. To make your lips look fuller use a lip liner, similar coloured lipstick and lip gloss in the centre of your lips.  And just like Kylie Jenner, nude shades work best for plumping.
2. Nude shades work best when you have a bold smokey eye or bold eye look.
3. Bright shades light purple, red and hot pink work best if you have a lighter eye make up perhaps with fluttery eyelashes.
4. Lip balms under your lipstick can make it last longer but also could make your lipstick glossier.
5. Liquid lipsticks are all the rage right now and usually comes out Matt but still very moisturising as it doesn't fully dry.  These are best if you want a Matt look but get dry lips.
6. Lip glosses are also really moisturising and can add a touch of colour without being too solid.

Mini Make Up Tips Monday; Eyeliner

You can do so much with eyeliner and make your eyes look different.  I have a signature flick which I have done since I was 14 and I don't look right without it.  Follow my tips to make the most out of your eyeliner;

1. Let's start with basic black eyeliner this can be put on your lash line to thicken it, on your tight line (upper waterline) and on your waterline to intensify your eyes.  But be careful as too much black can make your eyes look smaller.
2. To make your eyes look bigger use a white or pale pink eyeliner in your waterline to widen your eyes.
3. Some liquid eyeliners can look shiny or flake off, to solve this you have 2 options, 1 is to put a kohl black eyeliner or felt liner underneath or pat Matt black eyeshadow on top to mattify.
4. In order to do my 60s flick I first line my lash line and then use the edge of my eyebrows to guide my flick and try and make it even each side this way.
5. I also like to use a brown or gold (instead of black) eyeliner on my lower lash line to keep my eyes widened.
6. When using coloured eyeliner try to stay away from pinks, reds and purples right next to your eye as they can make you look tired so if you want to use these colours, add black eyeliner to your lash line to break up the colour.

P.S to get glowing rings in your eyes use a ring light or this Boots No7 illuminated mirror that I got in the Christmas sales; http://www.boots.com/en/No7-Illuminated-Makeup-Mirror-Exclusive-to-Boots_1527178/

Red Lip Liner Review

So recently a friend on Facebook has started selling make up to get extra cash.  The make up brand is called Younique and I decided to try a few things out.  It's a little bit pricey to me but I thought, why not?

I bought the Moonstruck Precision Pencil Lip Liner in the shade Primal and the Moonstruck 3D Fiber Lashes Transplanting Gel and Natural Fibers but more on that when I've actually used it.

Today I tried the lip liner with a red lip crayon, Rimmel London Colour Rush Balm in the Redder the Better is think (the writing has rubbed off).

At first I was not sure as it doesn't glide on but does give a smooth line.  When I filled in my whole lips with the pencil I loved the intense colour.  My lip crayon blended perfectly on top and completed the look.

Now it's the end of the day and my lips look as though I have just put my Lippy on but I haven't touched up at all!  I have even eaten chocolate cake, tea and drunk a fair few drinks.  It's safe to say this lip liner really has that staying power you need for your big night out or even the whole day.

You can grab one HERE in 5 different shades at £12 each and I think you can get an offer if you buy 3.
