Hello everyone~! I have a mini series for you - oooooohhh~! And this mini series is the Eevee evolutions from Pokemon! YAY! I thank my friend Tim (Ommynoms on YouTube), for this idea. I wanted to do some game related looks and he suggested making Eevee evolutions wearable, without going OTT and I thought that was a fabulous idea! So what better way to start this evolution process than to have the pokemon that started it all - Eevee~ This look's really matte and simple - super easy, right? Here are some photos for you:
And here's the video for you:
I hope you enjoyed this look, and I hope you stay tuned for the rest of the series! Don't worry, I will still be posting other makeup looks as well as this little series c: If you have any questions/requests, you can tweet me @nadia_harrison or email me at elegant.mustache@yahoo.co.uk Thank you very much for reading~! x
Hello everyone~! As you all know, i've started a YouTube channel and I am uploading makeup tutorials on there and a cooking series called Saving Students. My channel name, for those who might not know, is TheElegantMoustache, funnily enough~ Today's tutorial is a Jennifer Lawrence inspired look for Valentines Day~! It's super smokey and gorgeous. I am so so sooooo sorry for the out of sync-ness in some parts of the video, I don't know how to adjust it so it's in sync and i've decided I hate voicing over, I hope you don't mind too much! I will now declare my love for Jennifer Lawrence: oh my, I do adore this woman! I'm not a celebrity lover (bad wording, I know), when I was younger, I was, but not so much now, BUT, i've seen Miss Lawrence in interviews and OHHHH, she's just so down to earth! We'd be best friends - wow. How creepy does that sound?! Anywho! Here are some photos for you:
And here is the video for you:
I hope you enjoyed this look! If you have any questions or a look you'd like me to do, you can tweet me @nadia_harrison or email me at elegant.mustache@yahoo.co.uk Thank you for reading/watching~! x
Hello everyone~ In today's post, I will be showing you how to get Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's makeup, inspired from her album "Moshi Moshi, Harajuku"! Kyary Pamyu Pamyu is a Japanese singer, who started as a style icon in Harajuku. She's known for wearing creative and wacky clothing, such as a giant bow with an eyeball as the knot. She made her debut with "Pon Pon Pon", which MTV called the craziest music video ever made - and I agree, some people must have been tripping out when they made this. "Pon Pon Pon" has 30+ million views on YouTube! Kyary is known for her spiky lashes, and now she has released her own brand of lashes. In this post, i'll be showing you 2 looks - a wearable one and a creative one, both inspired from photos of her. If you'd like to know how to get these looks:
Please keep on reading~! Because it was such a lovely day, I decided to sit outside, but the sun was a bit bright at times, so if i'm squinting or frowning, that'll be why! Sorry in advance~ I applied Simple's toner and moisturiser to my face first, then I used a primer because I wanted my skin to be flawless. Once that was done, I used my Etude House BB Cream and Collection 2000 concealer.
Once that was done, I used my Urban Decay brow box in Brown Sugar to fill in my brows - I only use the lightest shade. Then I used Dolly Wink's eyebrow mascara in Cocoa over the top.
I used MAC's Painterly Paint Pot as a primer for my lids, then I used the Urban Decay NAKED palette for my eye shadows. First, I used Naked (1) all over my lids, then I used Half Baked (2) under my lower lashes, after that I used Sin (3) as an inner corner highlight and I brought this colour under my lash line too. Once that was done, I used Virgin (4) as a brow highlight.
I set my makeup into place with Rimmel London's Stay Matte powder - I only applied this under my eyes, forehead and nose. I used 17's liquid liner to line my eyes thinly. I didn't wing this out, instead I drew the line straight down, following the natural curve of my eye. Once i'd done that, I used a black pencil and lined the inner corner of my eye only, then I used a white eyeliner on my waterline to open up my eyes.
I applied Miss Sporty's Pump Up Lash mascara on my top and bottom lashes, making sure they were long and full. Then I applied Hed Kandi's false eyelashes - these are perfect or a Kyary Pamyu Pamyu look as they're long and spiky! I made sure I applied these just out of my natural lashes, so it was on the black liner that was going downwards. I used an old pair of lashes and cut them into 4 pieces and used them as lower lashes.
I used a mixture of Natural Collection's Pink Cloud blusher and Daniel Sandler's loose eye shadow in Peach as blush. I applied this on the front of my cheeks, directly under my eyes.
I used Illamasqua's lipstick in Sonnet and topped it off with Illasmasqua's lip gloss in Artifice.
And that completes the wearable Kyary Pamyu Pamyu look!
Now, time for the crazy look! I blanked out my lips with my concealer and I began drawing the outline of the lips with a white eyeliner - I used white rather than black because white would be easier to remove if I made a mistake.
After that I used a black pen eyeliner and went back over the white eyeliner.
I used 2 lipsticks to get the right colour; Rimmel London's Kate Moss lipsticks in 02 and 04. I put these on the back of my hand and blended them together until I got the colour I required, then I began filling in the lips.
I went back to my white eyeliner and began filling in the teeth.
Once I was happy with everything, I took a black gel liner and went back over the lines to make them stand out more. Then I cleaned up my lips with a makeup wipe.
And that's it!
I really hope you enjoyed this blog post, I had a lot of fun doing this look! If you have any looks you'd like to see, feel free to email me: elegant.mustache@yahoo.com or you can tweet me @nadia_harrison Thank you so much for reading my blog post~ :)
