False Lashes for Novices

                                                                                                                                                                                

Whether it’s a special occasion, birthday or just a normal night out, getting glam is my favourite thing to do. I love planning my makeup, outfit, hair and going all out. The last year has been crazy and I haven’t been able to do this as much until recently my ‘social calendar’ has started to fill up and it’s been amazing to get the chance to get all dressed up.

On these occasions, I love applying false eyelashes to give my look that final touch and it has fast become my favourite way to enhance my eyes and complete the overall makeup look. Nowadays, there are so many different options available, there is a style out there to suit all levels of expertise. My personal favourites are the Ardell natural lashes, easy to wear and look beautiful. When it’s a special occasion, the Ardell nakedlashes are stunning.

Believe me when I tell you I understand the struggle of applying lashes! I wear glasses all the time, so when it comes to applying lashes, I have to go in blind and in the past, I’ve had my fair share of lash related disasters.  The band hasn’t glued on correctly, they’ve not suited my eye shape, they’ve stuck down too well and then won’t move – so many disasters. This is my guide to applying, wearing and removing lashes without any hassle, fuss or stress!

Wedding Makeup COVID-19 Edition

 Over the bank holiday weekend, my family and I travelled down south for a lock down wedding. My cousin was meant to get married in India back in April, then everything happened in the world and it got cancelled. She was still determined to get married this year and when restrictions got lifted, she booked in the bank holiday for 30 guest and got married! It was such a lovely weekend, a smaller wedding was so lovely and intimate too, everyone knew everyone and it was cosy and more special. I of course had all my makeup planned...this is what I ended up going for.   

Head to Toe Party

'Tis the season to be jolly

Fa la la la la, la la la la

Its that time of year, when the sequins come out, the red lip makes an appearance and the Xmas music is heard all over the world. Its PARTY SEASON! I for one could not be happier, this is the perfect time of year to wear whatever you want and feel fabulous. I went to one christmas do at the weekend with work and a few more planned with friends - who even am I? This is a quick run through of my easy, yet pretty party look that requires very little effort, but will leave you looking and feeling wonderful. 

Trying My Hand At Contacts

Since the age of 8, I have always worn glasses. I need them for reading, writing, teaching, driving even when I apply my makeup! Without them there would be no me and I wouldn't be able to see a THING. My parents and the opticians have always gone on to me about wearing contacts but I'm such a wimp, that I've always said no. Until now, with my eyesight as bad as it is (I'm -12 on both eyes) it was time for a change. 

Diwali Eyes

Happy Diwali! Well, it was technically yesterday but still Happy Diwali! I was at work all day, but we celebrated in the evening and will be carrying on at the weekend because why not. I kept my base very simple as I wanted the focus to be on the eyes. With a stunning palette that screams evening, some fluttery lashes and gold liner why wouldn't they be the focus! 

                                             

Wedding Guest Makeup Look

Wedding season is my favourite time of year, the pretty outfits, gorgeous venues and of course the food! I have one event this coming weekend and then one at the end of next month, it is such an exciting time! This is going to be my go to look for sure, its very simple but full glam that will last me throughout the day without budging. The look is very similar to what I usually wear on a special occasion but a wedding makes everything that little bit more special.
