Milkmaid Braids.

Hey guys! I'm sure you can tell there are a lot of changes to my blog recently, it's always a work in progress but I have to say I am really impressed with how its turning out. The weather has been amazing these past few days so I had to take advantage and take a few blog pictures. Who else is loving braids at the moment? Milkmaid braids are a really quirky way to keep your hair up and they really are so easy to do! I've decided to go for a really simple makeup for this look, because I wanted my hair to be the focal point. 

As you all know I LOVE bold lips, to make things a bit interesting I mixed flat out fabulous and all fired up which are two M.A.C Retro Matte Lipsticks. It created this beautiful violet pink shade that I didn't think I needed any eye makeup to make the whole look. This a perfect makeup look for a daytime activity I wore it all day and it seemed to stay in place. Also, how stunning is the necklace by Faithlovediamonds!! It was an impulse buy but such a bargain, super cheap and quality is amazing I could compare them to necklaces from Zara. I'll definitely be rocking a few more of these this summer! I really enjoyed putting this look together, if you guys want a tutorial on how to create this Milkmaid Braids post a comment below or click like. See you guys soon!

Dramatic Red Carpet Makeup

Taking inspiration from Sonam Kapoor's makeup for the Cannes premiere of The Great Gatsby (above)  I created a makeup look thats quite dramatic. 

Face:

Giorgio Armani Designer Lift Foundation  - Shade 7

MAC Select Coverup Concealer - NC40

MAC Archie's Girls - Veronica's Blush

Sleek Luminous Powder - 03 (bronzer)

MAC Studio Careblend Powder - Medium/Dark

Eyes:

MAC Tempting

MUA Heaven and Earth Palette - Dark Plum Colour & Pink Highlight Colour

Soap And Glory Liner Pen - Black

L'oreal Voluminous Millions Mascara - Black

Sleek Storm Palette (black eyeshadow on the waterline over pencil)

Rimmer Khol Pencil Liner  - Black

Lips:

MAC Rebel Lipstick

Revlon Orchid Lipstick (centre of lips)

I opted for a plum tone for the lip to make it more wearable for me, I also kept the liner thicker and slightly shorter along the eye mostly because Sonam's look was very dramatic. Overall I think this look is definitely not for everyone but with an outfit as extravagant as Sonam's I wouldn't mind pushing the boat out either!
