Eye Colours and Eyeshadows..What suits me???

Hello Ladies,

Alot of you have emailed me about what shadows you should be wearing to suit your eye colours.

As it is coming up to the PARTY season, alot of you, including myself will be testing out some new products and wanting to try new looks for maybe Christmas day, a Christmas party or New Years. 

Heres a simple guide to help you...

Brown Eyes: Ladies with brown eyes are considered lucky, as you can really experiment with alot of different shades and tones of colours. 

Colours from Amber, Slate Grey, Charcoal, Copper, Lavender, Violet, Kaki Green, Olive, Dark Brown and Yellow tones, like Gold. All these will make Brown Eye POP!! and really complement them. Have a look at the tones in your eye,as you may have an amber or light brown tone, matched with a shadow in the same tone will really make your eyes stand out.

Blue Eyes: Blue eyes are seen the most difficult for people to create looks for. But blue eyes can wear some beautiful shades also. From Pink, orange, peach, purple, coral, wine, grey, black undertones. Silver works very well with blue, unlike brown. But avoid Blue/Green tones as these will wash your eyes out.

Green Eyes: For green eyes again, ladies find it harder to pick and choose tones and colours. So for green eyes, Red under tones, bugandy, maroon, apricot, peach, plum. Grey again for Green will make your eyes POP more than any other colour.

Weekend Inspiration.. BLUE!

Hey there Girlies!

Another one of my Weekend Inspirations. I really hope you are enjoying them?!

So as from my title this weekend is blue! Not just for the boys!

I love blue, but I much prefer the darker blues, of midnight, navy, electric and cobalt, then the powder and baby blues, (they just dont suit me). But doesnt mean I cant sport them in accessories or the tallans (aka nails).

Whether you like the darker side of blue or the pastel side of blue, there are so many shades for you to chose and mix and match...

Heres to BLUE! (Not the band, lol)

When searching Blue on Pintrest I kept coming back to this dress. Its a gorgeous Cobalt blue. Not only is the shade amazing so it the suit and style of the dress. Cobalt is a great colour for all skin tones and hair colours, a brunette and red head would look equally as fantastic as a blonde with this colour. I love this! (swooon)

image pintrest

If you are unsure about cobalt, Tiffany Blue ( a girls equivalent to Pink!) might be a nice choice. Paired with a white top or dress, it will make your outfit pop. Tiffany Blue reminds me of summer and holidays, so if you are still lucky enough to be heading away, try this colour as one of your holidays staples.

As here in the Northern Hemisphere, we are getting ready for Autumn and Winter. Blue is defiantly in this season, so for me Navy is a must to have. It is a great alternative to black and brown and like the image I choose, getting a pair of boots to pair with skinny jeans or a dress, to add a little height and to be for pulled together. Its also a nice alternative to the Ugg boots or the heels (no girl can walk in frost in heels). I would suggest a wedge boot instead of the heel in the picture (primark are doing nice ones right now,! hint hint!) But it is totally up to you.

I have a real feeling, this colour is going to be a huge hit with nails. A midnight blue/navy teamed with a silver accent. I love this colour again on my nails and will be one of many I will wear this season.

Whether you go for the blue shadow, gel liner or kohl pencil, blue makeup will be making its way in this season. I love using blue to pop my eyes in the waterline. But you can play about and use it as a smokey eye colour or maybe instead of a black gel liner for your flicks use blue or simply like me use it in the water line or the lower lash line. I would recommend using a cobalt or even a navy as an alternative to black. Give it a go and find which shade you like on you! Don`t forget to share them with me!

So that is my Weekend Inspiration for Blue done for this week!

If you try any shade of blue this week or this season, please share with me!

Heres where I can be found!

Autumn/Winter Trends 2014/2015..Part 2

Hello Ladies,

So here is Part 2 of Autumn/Winter Trends 14/15. 

In this post there will be my last six picks of this seasons trends.

If you wanna see Part 1 >>CLICK HERE<<

So I suppose I better get on with it, lol. 

Here are my last Six picks!

Blue

Blue is making a comeback from the 90s, and will make a effective impression. 

Designers that used blue, had their own interpretation of it.

Christian Dior had a more Glittery finish, Marchesa used rounded strips on the outline of the lid and Cynthia Rowley used another trend in arrows.

Cynthia Rowley

Pink

Pink can look inflamed on the face, especially if pale. But it is a great alternative for a fresh and different look. Some designers have used pink in a smokey eye, so it appears more subtle. 

Both Julian McDonald and Jonathan Saunders used pink in their runway.

Lilac

A new colour to the trends is Lilac. A uber impressive and chic colour. Lilac is a new and is going to be fun colour to use and create with. 

Chloe and Diane von Furstenbeary are some designers that used Lilac in their collections.

Chloe

Brows

Not really a suprise that brows are in this seasons trends. They keep poping up and quiet similar to last season, thick, full and expressive brows are still in. 

Dion Less, Marc Jacobs and Givency are designers that expressed the brows in their collections.

Marc Jacobs

Berry-Cherry Lips

Bloody red lip shades seem to be making there way out this season, but other tones are making there way in. Berry, rosy shades along with bordeaux and other tones of red are going to be huge this season. Rebecca Minkoff went red with there tones and Marc Jacobs with a more natural tone.

Metallic

My last pick of the trends, which will be big I feel near the Christmas season, that is metallics.  Eye catching and chic. Alot of designers created there own vision of metallics.
Rodarte used bronxe lips, Badgley Mischka used golds, Donna Karen used Silvers and Altuzzarra used glittery effects.

Summer Trends- #SummerBloggerChallenge Week 2!

Hello Ladies. 

So it`s week two of Summer Blogger Challenge, set by @amygoldfish . 

This week is "Summer Trends", which I love.

Again, a great one if you are heading on your holl`ers and want to try something you would never try on your everyday life!

Unfortunately it`s hardly warm or sunny today in Ireland, Thunder/Lightening....NEED I SAY MORE! But to take my mind off whats going outside, I am to be Summery inside! 

My trend for this summer is "BLUE & ORANGE"
Seen on the catwalks this year both in makeup and materials, Blue and Orange are in this Summer 2014..

                                               Image from Google Search*


When using blue this Summer, you can use it on the lid (looks great on Brown Eyes)  and create that smokey eye! OR as a liner on the waterline, which really opens up your eyes, great for that POP! Especially if you are testing the waters. One that was big on the red carpet was BLUE Gel Liner. There are so many ways to incorporate it into your makeup.

As for Orange I love to use it on my cheeks as a blush or on the lips. You can get different shades, weather its a coral, which is subtle or a bright orange lippy or an orange red lipstick, there are so many tones to choose from. If you find it doesnt suit you, keep trying different shades as different undertones suit different skins. Orange is a great upbeat, happy colour. A nice alternative to red, especially during the summer, I tend to leave the reds for the winter. 
Weather you want a light balm, a stain, a gloss, a lipstick there are so many now  to choose from. 

AND HERE`S MY CREATION!!

*makeup on myself and my own work and photo taken by me*

I used a blue liner and shadow on the waterline and under the lashline, groomed brows, highlighted cheekbones, a bronze to the skin, weather you go for heavy or light coverage foundation is up to you, I went for a medium coverage and concealed. I kept my skin glowy and dewy. I went for a light frosted silver shade on the eye and defined with a darker grey. Added black to the lash line and smudged. Curled lashes and black mascara.

Lips was a moisturizing balm in a bright orange. I love orange and blue with my brown hair.
