Wing it up!

Hey Everyone,

Long time no post I know, for that I do apologize! Ive just been really busy with work and thanks to all for your support I have been busy with clients! But I'm not complaining I love every minute of it. My blog has over 3100 hits, and I can NOT thank you guys enough for everyone who stops by. Ive been meaning to do a blog post of winged eyeliner for a while but never got enough time to work on it, thanks to the long weekend that just past I managed to squeeze in some time and compose this for you guys with a few handy tips and tricks, Hope you enjoy! :)




Tip 1: The Brush

This tip is really tricky depending no what you are used to using some people are better with a fine haired brush some people with a felt tip some people like to use a totally separate brush like an angled one but it really depends on what your hand is comfortable with which can only be determined with trial and error! (depending on how it turns out, lets just not leave the house after that session :P)

Tip 2: The Product

There are TONNES of eyeliner products from pencils, brushes, markers, gel, glitter, water activated, and even a wet eyeshadow will do but it all depends again on what suits your eye lids and what your comfortable using. *WARNING* your eyelids are VERY VERY delicate and sensitive so make sure you try your product on your hand to see if it tingles or not and even get a professional to recommend something that is good for sensitive eyes id try something like Tarte or Clinique they are awesome all natural eyeliners that don't burn!

Tip 3: NO PULLING!

Its natural to pull and tug on the top of your eyelids to get a straight line but its the biggest mistake people do when applying eyeliner. Its damaging to the lid and can cause premature wrinkles and crows feet...yikes!
Try taking a mirror and placing it below your face sort of below your nose and look downward then try applying your eyeliner. Another tip use really small strokes instead of a one swipe shot, it'll opt for less of a mess up! Another trick is to rest your pinkie on your upper cheek to help give your hand stability

That's all for my tricks and tips on eyeliner! Enjoy the pictures a lot of work went into creating them :) Feel free to leave comments and suggestions on what you guys want to see next on my facebook page and stayed tuned for a HUGE contest I'm planning for the end of August worth over $100!

Feelin Kind of Blue

Hey Everyone

I had a request to do some looks that were smokey! So I thought that I would do a smokey blue look since its my favourite colour and matched my outfit :) so here are a few tips about doing a smokey look

1. You don't have to use black! what I did in the pictures below is use 3 different shades of blue. I used a dark navy, light blue and then a even lighter blue to blend the crease and ofcourse the electric blue eyeliner on top. Sometimes black can be a little overwhelming however if you want to pump the look up and be more dramatic a little bit of black will do the trick just make sure you tap your brush so its only a tiny amount. To keep with the smokiness blend your black eyeliner on the bottom lashline a littler thicker for a more cohesive look and then add the dark blue on top to set it from smudging

2. Smokey eyes with a more toned down lip looks much more nicer. From personal experience on me and on clients, having a less bold lip with a smokey eye really plays up the eyes and looks a lot more classic, and then just top off with a nice lipgloss

3. Up the amp on the mascara or use false lashes! Since you are using a lot of dark colours and doing heavy blending your lashes may get lost so pull out your darkest black mascara and give yourself a good couple coats and if need be throw on some dramatic lashes to complete the look

So here are a few pictures of my smokey blue eyes and if you guys have any requests for a specific colour in mind please leave a comment below and ill do a whole series of smokey eyes with whatever colours you guys want! thanks so much for the support, Much love <3
