Heres a quick 10 minute tutorial for an Easter makeup look.

Step 1:

I applied Rimmel Wake Me up Foundation with my Real Techniques Stippling brush. MAC Select Cover Up for blemishes and as my eye base and bags!

Step 2:

Using my Vivo Unprotected palette, I used Forever as the base, with my MUA Shade 30- Pearl in my crease and in the centre of my lid. Finally from the Vivo palette I used Free on the edge an crease. As a highlighter on my brow bone I used my MAC Belightful Pressed Powder.

Step 3:

I used my Maybelline Gel Liner on my upper and lower lash line smudging it with my finger to create a smokey look on my lower lash line.

Step 4:

For lushcious lashes I used MeMeMe Fatcat mascara as a base and then Benefit They're Real mascara to add final va va voom!

Step 5:

For my eyebrows I used my Benefit Browzings. Filling in any gaps and defining them.

Step 6:

For contouring and bronzer I used my Sleek Face Form Palette, will do a review asap! For a flush of colour I used my N07 Natural Blush in Candy Pink.

Step 7:

For my lips I pressed on my cupids bow some of my MAC Belightful Pressed Powder to highlight with some Balmi Lipbalm for a natural lip.

Fifty Shades Of Colour #49!

Well its N.49! Can you believe it?! I loved creating todays look! A colourful look inspired by Disney film Aladdin!

I used my MUA Poptastic palette to help me create it. Firstly, I applied my eyeliner and created two lines in the corner, then I applied a pale blue to my base and a purple in my crease, edge and out towards my brow line. To open up my eye I used a yellow to highlight below my brow line and white liner in my lower lash line. Finally I applied mascara to complete the look.

Fifty Shades Of Colour #42!

Woah this is going fast! 42!!!!! Crazy! Well today I really wanted to use my MAC cranberry! But know I have used it a couple of times before with brown and gold, so I looked at my eyeshadow palettes and thought what about blue!? So heres todays look.

I applied a metallic blue shade from my MUA Poptastic palette all over my lid, next I applied cranberry to the edge of my lid and blended. I then applied the blue mixed with cranberry on my lower lash line. Lastly I applied a highlighter for below my eyebrow, filled my brows in and applied gel liner and mascara to complete the look.

Fifty Shades Of Colour #41!

Todays look is inspired by spiderman! Dont think its the best I could have done as didnt have a thin enough brush for the spiderweb! But there we go! So I used my MUA blue shade as a base and the darker shade in my crease. I then applied a red from my Accessorize palette for below my eyebrow. I drew lines to resemble a spiderweb using my gel liner, also defining my lower lash line. Lashings of mascara and gel liner to fill in my brow complete the look.

Fifty Shades Of Colour #39!

Hello beauties! I am not feeling great today-sad times! But managed to do a barbie inspired look then hopped straight back into my slouchies and lay on the sofa! So I used my MUA Immaculate palette, a shimmery pink for my base, a darker pink for the edge and lower lash line, with a turquoise along my liner. A lilac as a highlighter and mascara complete this look.

Fifty Shades Of Colour #36!

Hello! Todays look has a little swirl design added on! I used my Maybelline Gel Liner over my whole lid and added a pattern to the edge of my eye. I used my MUA Immaculate palette, a gold for my crease and second half of my upper eye area, then a turquoise for the first part of my eye area and lower lash line. A highlighter over my pattern and mascara complete the look.

Sorry about the poor picture quality! I didnt do my eye look in the morning and so the lighting is poor! How do I make them look better with no natural light? Any tips?
