Mini Series: Eevee Evolutions

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:

Jennifer Lawrence inspired makeup for Valentines Day

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!

Hello everyone~!
A few things to mention before I start this blog post, a few things have changed:
1) I am now blonde
2) I have a piercing
3) I haven't blogged since sometime near Halloween..
And I am so, so, sorry! University work has just been catching up with me, and I shouldn't have excuses, but I do, and i'm very, very sorry. This year, i'll be bringing you blog posts and videos - OOOHHH, how exciting! Well, I think it's exciting, hopefully you'll stay tuned with me and watch what I do!
With that being said, I shall now start the proper blog post!

This blog post is about mine and my good friend Mia's OOTD (outfit's of the day) for the 23rd of January, 2013. It is rather cold here in Wales and, as everyone knows, it's snowing too, so we wrapped up warm and this is what we wore, I hope you enjoy! (Photographs further down the page)

Halloween looks: Doll makeup

Hello everyone~
I have my second Halloween look for you! It's a cute and innocent doll and creepy rag-doll combined look. For this, I wanted large eyes and a flawless complexion, because dolls are flawless and they have large round eyes and so I tried my best to re-create this. So, if you'd like to know how to get these looks:


Please keep on reading~

Before I applied anything to my face, I put in my grey contacts to make my eyes look massive - this is optional!



Apply a primer to your skin to make sure your makeup stays on all night, then apply your foundation/BB Cream. After that, fill in your brows and apply a primer to your eyelids to prevent your eye shadows from creasing.





Apply a sparkly peach eye shadow/pigment all over your lids, then use a light-medium matte brown eye shadow (1,2) in your crease, making sure you keep a rounded shape.






With the same matte brown eye shadow, create a new outer corner. Bring the eye shadow down out of your crease and then connect it to your lower lash line.




Apply concealer anywhere that needs extra coverage.


For an inner corner highlight, use a shimmery eye shadow and put this in the inner corners of your eyes and slightly underneath your lower lash line.




Set your face with a powder, then apply a white eyeliner to your water line. Slightly bring this down onto you lash line to make your eyes look bigger.




With a black eyeliner of your choice, line your eyes and wing it out dramatically - try not to go out of your new eye shape that you created with the brown eye shadow.




Apply mascara to your top lashes, and on the ends of your bottom lashes, then apply a pair of fluttery false eyelashes - if you have lower lashes, go ahead and apply them!





Apply a bright pink blush to the apples of your cheeks.



For the lips, blank them out with your concealer (make sure you've moisturised them before hand!) and then make your lips smaller with the help of a bright pink lipstick.




And that's it for the cute doll look!




Now for the creepy doll look~
With your eyeliner, make 3 little lines on the outer corner of your eye. These are our spider-like eyelashes.


Apply some spidery lashes on top of your long fluttery lashes.



For the lips, apply the same pink lipstick as before, but this time apply it all over.


To create stitch marks on your face, use your eyeliner again and place them randomly on your face. Start with the mouth - draw a line coming out of the corners of your mouth, then add X's and lines. 






And that's it!



I hope you like this doll look! I had a lot of fun doing it~
Thanks for reading this post! I'll continue to do different Halloween looks so stay tuned for those~
