The Flower Series #1- "Cherry Blossom"

Hey everyone!

Cherry Blossom has to be one of prettiest flowers there is and it's everywhere at the moment! Hence why I got inspired to do this "cherry blossom" style make-up look ^^ Enjoy!

The picture this look was based on

Products used (Face)

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation in Light Porcelian

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder

Rimmel Lasting Finish Soft Colour Blush 050 Live Pink

W7 Candy Floss Illuminating Powder

Eyes-

Barry M Green Eyeshadow Pencil

MUA Single Pearl Eyeshadow Shade 22

Rimmel Lasting Finish Soft Colour Blush 050 Live Pink- On the outer corners/brow-bone

MUA Eyeliner in Shade Snow White- Inner corner smudged out & lining the bottom inner "tear duct" area

Rimmel Scandal Eyes Kohl Liner in Black

Lips-

Natural Collection Lipstick in Rose Petal mixed with Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in Glamourous Pink

I didn't make this look too bright as I always associate blossom with being really soft and delicate. This is a really pink and white based look, however, I lined my lash line with green to mimick the flower leaves.

Lots of love, Laura xx

P.S. I know those pink flowers aren't blossom but they're the closest thing I could find (don't hate me ;_;)

Going back to the past...a classic 40s make up look

Hey everyone! There is something so elegant and sophisticated about the classic 40's look, think Dita Von-Teese ^^ This look is really simple yet gorgeous, a lovely cat-eye paired with a bold shiny red lip, so I'm here to share my version of it.

Her classic make up will be the inspiration for this look.

The finished look complete with "Von-Teese" beauty spot (that's dedication ^^)

*Cough* Poser *Ehem* ;)

Admittedly this isn't a look I sport very often (as a socially-awkward student I don't get many chances to wear red lipstick, but I take every chance I can xD). The key to this look is a matte, flawless complexion (I tried my best), thick jet black gel/liquid eye liner  a defined eyebrow, and the lipstick- I think my effort ticked most of these boxes, so I'm happy with it ^^

Products used-

Foundation- Max Factor Colour adapt in shade 40 Cream Ivory

Concealer- Collection Lasting Perfection in shade 1 Fair

Powder- Rimmel Stay Matte pressed translucent powder 

 Eyeshadow- I used Tranquil from my MUA Undress Me Too palette to cover my lid and line the lower lash line. I also used Estee Lauder Pure Colour Eyeshadow in shade 10- Ivory Box to highlight my browbone and shade 64 Espresso Cup to fill in my brows ^^ and shade 61 Tea Box to add a slight contour to my cheeks

Eyeliner- Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Liner in Black

Mascara- Benefit They're real!

Lipstick- Avon Extra Lasting Lipstick in Eternal Flame

Lipgloss- Rimmel Shock Gloss 3D Magnifying Lip Gloss in shade 208 Amp'ed (not sure if this is discontinued or not in store but it's still avaliable on Amazon :)

*Blows kiss* :3
