In The Eyes


Hello all. Just thought I would share a few pics of the recent muck-around I did with my new make up set (excuse the well over-due-to-be-plucked-eyebrows). I have been trying a few looks over the past couple of nights to grasp some inspiration and ideas as I have a party coming up which a) i am attending in the oh so sheek outfit I hope to find shopping tomorrow, and b) I have to do the make up of the soon to be 18 year old and a few friends of hers. Hopefully I will have a few pictures of the birthday gal and her pals with their permission of course... to post here.
What I used:
-Avon liquid eyeshadow in Iced Mocha for a eyelid base
-Rimmel London Quad Shadow, Urban Beach 009. I used the pearl white to highlight the brow bone
-Aqua Blue shade shadow by Colour for Ever cosmetic case over the lid to the crease
-Sky Blue shade shadow also from the comsetic case blendid into the crease and half way in from the outer corner
-Smokey black shade shadow also from the cosmetic case slightly blended in from the outer corner. Remember that with darker shades you only need to dip the brush slightly as the smallest amount will go much further then thought.
As always, use make up brushes for more precise application.

Evan Rachel Wood





Just having a bit of a browse on the net when I started reading an article on my most favourite actress/style icon/inspiration Evan Rachel Wood and thought I'd love to put together a look that she's been sporting during a recent relationship with rocker Mairlyn Manson. Keep in mind that this look is not an imitation but inspiration.
