Hi sugar plums!!

This tutorial is a classic take on the 1920's/Gatsby/Flapper makeup that is such a hot trend since the release of The Great Gatsby movie! I absolutely loved the film, the colour, the costumes, the flare! So I thought I would recreate a 1920s look for you all!! 

This video is a collaboration with my gorgeous friend Lauren from EbonyMaizeMakeup here on Youtube, she is absolutely stunning, and truly talented with makeup!

Lauren has created a Gatsby style look, but with a modern twist! 
Check out her links below to watch her recreation and please subscribe to her channel she is absolutely amazing!! Let her know I sent you :)

The soft smokey eye can be incorporated into every makeup wear, and I loved the way they used to fill out their lips and would be totally comfortable wearing it on an everyday basis! And of course, its PERFECT for a dress up party!

I hope you enjoy the video, check out the photos below to see close up pictures of the look!

MWAH!
xxxxxxx









I love the way the girls shaped their lips back in the 20s, it was very distinct and unique, with a large overdrawn cupids bow and angular points at the outer corners. I used concealer to white out the colour of my lips first, giving me a completely blank canvas for drawing on a totally new shape!


I mixed two of the Limecrime Velvetine's to create this deep plum lip. I used 'Wicked' & 'Black Velvet' from the new clueless witch collection. They are a liquid lipstick that dry to a beautiful velvet finish.
Available in Australia from www.discountbeautyboutique.com.au
or worldwide from:
www.limecrime.com



The headpiece and jewellery I am wearing is all from www.lovisa.com.au and very affordable and  still available on their online store!

Hello everyone!

Prom season is once again upon us and I have created 3 individual looks that will fit in with any style, colour and complexion. Check out the pictures and full video tutorial below! You will also find a full list of all products at the bottom of this post.



This first look is  a little more dramatic, and a little more old Hollywood glam. It features a dark smokey eye and a glossy red lip.


All of the shadows used on the eyes are from the original Urban Decay NAKED Palette - this palette remains such a staple item in my makeup collection, and despite having a thousand other palettes I always seem to fall back on it! All of the shadows have a warmer undertone, which complements my olive toned skin and the pigmentation and quality it 10/10! But what else would we expect from Urban Decay right!
Australian girls you can buy this palette for a GREAT price from:
www.discountbeautyboutique.com.au
or
www.beautybay.com


Above is a photograph taken in flash - proof that the base is totally flash proof as we have ZERO white cast. The bronzer and blush has also retained their colours in the photo - many of the photographers will use a strong flash to bring out the details in your dresses, but it tends to drown out the makeup a tad! So to counteract this try and make your blush and bronzer a little on the stronger side!


You can also switch up the lip for this look, it will look great with a nude or a pink - just match it appropriately with whatever dress your wearing!


I am in love with this headpiece that I'm wearing! Sometimes necklaces can look a little over the top if your dress is a stroppy number or features jewels on the bust! To add some extra glamour you could try incorporating a jewelled headpiece. There are heaps around you just have to do a little research!
I got mine from http://www.lovisa.com.au/crystal-stretch-head-chain.html
