Media in 2 Ways!

If you're a regular reader of my blog you'll know that I love my bold lip colours, so the recent purchase of MAC Media will come as no surprise! Media is one of those colours that you can't really pull of with a lot of looks, to be honest I did find it difficult to wear at the beginning. But I experimented with it a few times and have come up with 2 different looks!

For the first look I stuck to neutral browns and gold tones but for the second I went all out using silvery tones and dark shades to create something more vampy.

So what do you guys think Yay or Nay?

Jessica Alba: Orange Lips

Jessica Alba always looks so flawless but this look in particular I found really beautiful. I just really like how she paired a really soft smokey eye and orange lips. I tried to create this look myself without using lashes or eyeliner to make it more low maintenance and easy to copy.

(sorry about the poor quality pictures I used my iPhone to take these)

MAC Face and Body - C4

MAC Prolongwear concealer - NC35 & NC40

Sleek Highlight and Contour Kit

MAC Studio Careblend Pressed Powder - Medium/Deep

Lips:

Mac Lady Danger & Ruby Woo Mixed. 

I hope you guys liked this look, let me know if you have any suggestions for next time!

The Floral Peplum.

Not the conventional peplum, this top has a drop waist which is what attracted me to it, not to mention the bargain price of £5!! H&M has truly delivered this time. I must say I felt a bit like Blair Waldorf in this outfit, very chic and sophisticated if I must say so myself!

Top: H&M

Skirt: ASOS

Shoes: Dorothy Perkins

Jewellery: Ring from New Look, Necklace from boutique in Sri Lanka

FOTD: Lady Danger

I am IN LOVE with Lady Danger, its such a bright orange toned red lip. To be honest I purchased this in search of a bold orange lip, but came back with this beauty!

Smokey Eyes & Pink Lips

Smokey eye makeup is one of those looks that suit pretty much any skin tone. In my opinion the only thing that you need to change would be the lip colour to suit your skin tone. I am in love with dark smokey eyes this summer. Taking inspiration from this picture of Kim Kardashian I've created my version of a smokey eye, hope you like it!
