Easy Halloween Make up Look




 Firstly I started with my foundation and concealer, the foundation was very light so that it gave a ghostly appearance

 I took the MUA undressed pallet and used the dark black shade on the whole of my left eye lid and blended it with a fluffy brush into the crease 

 I then used the collection eyeliner and drew a few lines on the side of my face coming from the eye, then drew semi circles joining them together to create a spiders web

 I contoured my cheeks with a really dark contouring powder to darken my complexion
tip to lighten the eyebrows is to smother them with glue, then apply powder for the dark eye shadow to be bolder 
 I used the same dark black shadow and drew on thick black arched eyebrows 

To put the whole look together, I decided to apply a dark purple matte lipstick. I thought that it looked boring just covering the whole lips, so I winged it out at the sides
I didn't add mascara because in my opinion it looked more interesting without


And this is the end result, thank you for reading and I hope you have a fantastic Halloween!

Until next time,

PS. this will probably take me all evening  ttake off now, oops!

OOTD | Autumn





Hope you are doing well! It's been a cold, rainy week but that really excites me because it finally feels like Autumn. I'm not the most fashionable person, but I thought I would share one of my favorite outfits to wear during this time of year. It is very casual, but the cut of the top makes the whole look a little more interesting. I am also completely in love with these booties and I have been complemented on them so many times now (surprise surprise, they're from Primark!) I have paired all this with black Joni Jeans to add some simplicity to the look.

Top- Primark £6
Coat- H&M
Jeans- Black Topshop Joni Jeans £36
Boots- Primark £15

AUTUMN


Autumn is literally right round the corner and I am so so excited that I can't even contain it! For a few years now, Autumn has been my favorite time of year. It's not too hot or cold, Halloween and Christmas are slowly arriving, candles finally start to show up, dresses and skirts with tights, boots and scarfs float around and obviously THE PURPLE LIPS AND NAILS. All these thoughts excite me. Extremely. What's your favorite time of year and why? I'd love to know!

As the purple lips excite me the most, I thought I would share with you some of my favorite lipsticks I enjoy using in the Autumn.



Topshop Lipstick 'Black Widow'
This lipstick is the most dramatic, darkest purple that I own. It has a matte finish so looks amazing on the lips during autumn and winter. If your lips tend to be dry, I would advise you to moisturize your lips well before wearing this lipstick because throughout the day your lips may crack. The shade 'Black Widow' is not on the website right now.

Topshop Lips- similar shade


Collection Lip Butter 4 'Perfect Plum'
The collection Lip Butter is a more creamy consistency and has a very glossy finish, which is the opposite to the Topshop lipstick. The colour of this purple lip crayon has a red/pinky undertone which will suit most skin tones. Also the price of this is incredible! (£2.99!)

L'Oreal 401 'Fuschia Drama'
The last of my favorite purple lipsticks is the L'Oreal Color Riche extraordinaire, which believe it or not, is actually a lipstick. It's classed as a lipstick because of the amount of pigmentation it has in it, however the texture of it is like a lip gloss as it is very soft and creamy. (£8.99)
