Mermaid/festival glitter summer makeup

I saw the glittery/festival makeup in primark and they inspired me to do this look. I wanted pink eyeshadow though because I wear pink eyeshadow a lot so I already know it kind of suits me so I picked up 2 pink eyeshadows from kiko, they did have an eyeshadow palette on primark with pink in it that looked nice and was only about £2.50 but I didn't see the point in buying a palette just for 1 shade. I was planning on going all out and using the face jewels aswel but I got a bit bored after I got this far since I wasn't actually going anywhere and thought it looked OK as it was.

The mini lipstick set from primark is pretty cool I wore the silver (2nd to last swatch) over my bright pink Mac candy yum yum lipstick to make it ombre and I like the way it turned out, however I don't think I'd wear these on there own.

I used both kiko pink smart color eyeshadows 15 and 16, primark liquid liner a bit of gold eyeshadow in the inner corners (kiko 17 highpigment eyeshadow.

Primark foundation stick in tan (first time using it) and a bit of Ivory down the centre (I already had Ivory).

I used the primark blue glitter put out of the glitter pot set with the face glue to put below the inner corners of my eyes to look like mermaid tears. And I thought it looked good next to the pink eyeshadow.

I put some of the primark glitter palette, a silver glittery shade on my cheek bones to look like glitter highlight you can kind of see it in the pic above in the right side (I put it on both sides but it isn't showing up much in the pic)

I used some cheap false lashes. I was gonna put jewels above my eyebrows or on my cheat bones or under outer corners of my eyes but I gave up at this point, although I'd probably do that if I was going out to a festival or fancy dress.

Autumn make-up edit

Autumn make-up edit

Its sad to say bye to the summer but I actually like autumn. At first its still nice-ish weather so you don't even realize summer has come to an end, then you get Halloween (my birthday), then bonfire night and then its winter and you get Christmas and then finally January sales then it goes down hill for me until next summer.

so I guess its time to switch up from the summer bronzed make-up looks to berry tones.

-mac studio fix foundation

-Collection lasting perfection concealer

-Rimmel stay matte powder

-Topshop bronzer

-Illamasqua blusher (thrust)

-smooch eyeshadow duo (filthy rich) I just used the rusty copper shade

-Rimmel brow this way  for the brows

-a clear mascara over the top (isnt really clear any more)

-Loreal miss manga mascara

-Topshop lipstick (armour)

I forgot to include the real techniques blush brush in the picture, I use it for powder, bronzer and blush

Elf 50 piece makeup artist palette

This is a good palette if you want a good selection of colours for yourself or if your doing makeup on somebody else 

As you can see in this pic there is 5 blushes 5 bronzers and 40 Eyeshadows

Blushers

Bronzers

Eyeshadows  

As you can see on the picture of the bronzers some of them are too light for me but I love the 2nd to last bronzer and I use that 1 the most 

I'm not as impressed with the quality of the Eyeshadows as I am with the blush and bronzers because with the Eyeshadows some feel more chalky and not as pigmented but there are some nice 1s in there

Over all this is a good budget friendly palette, I don't recommend for travel because it's quiet big and bulky but it's nice to use at home for creating different looks 

If you have this palette let me know what you think of it :) xxx

Elf little black beauty book (glam holiday)

I bought this palette from elf before Christmas because I wanted an eyeshadow palette that was small and had nude colours because there the colours I mainly use on my eyes but it also has some pop of colour aswel, I have urban decay 1,2 and 3 and this isn't a comparison because there totally different palettes, but I do think this palette is good quality for the price and it's small (smaller than the naked palettes) and this contains an amazing 48 eyeshadows 

Left side of palette

Right side of palette

As you can see the colours are really pretty, some if the colours are more pigmented than others but it's still worth it because I think it was only £8 and considering you get 48 eye shaddows it works out less than 17p per eyeshadow. 

It's a really good palette for travelling and I always have it in my handbag 

Do you have this palette and if so do you like it? Leave me a comment below and let me know :) xxx
