Zombie

After the Makeup Forever Halloween master class I decided to try my first ever zombie makeup. Instead of using whites or green I kept the skin tone a more natural shade because I wanted it to look more realistic..kind of. I used a bruise wheel on all the hollows of the face and slightly highlighted the high points. Then I contoured with shadows even more. I apply dots of latex in random areas and when they were dry I used a purple and dark red from the bruise wheel to make the patches look sore then I pull the latex to make the middle of it rid and applied blood. I also applied a red liner to my waterline. I wish I had tooth stain and contacts because that would have made the look so much better!

I decided to take away some of the latex patches and I applied a darker shadow around my eyes. 

I tried to change the colour of my eyes slightly with photoshop :)

Hope you like this zombie look!

Black Glitter

I bought this black glitter in Charles Fox in London. I've been looking out for black glitter for a while so I was delighted when I saw this. Want to buy loads more glitter for a kit..but I noticed how expensive glitter is :( (i'm so cheap haha) But its so pretty! 

I used this glitter on my friend because I want to practice! There is the result:

I wish the glitter would show up in pictures

My nails this week

I decided to wear some false nails this week because I wanted longer, pointy stiletto nails. These are just the false nails that I sell that have been filed into the shape :) I would love to get acrylics but we're not allowed to have long nails in college. Don't want to be poking anyone's eyes out.

Pastel union jacks. Why is everything so much cuter in pastels!?

Barry M Blue Moon. I think I made this colour slightly dark though with some other Barry M nail polish.

I saw nails like this on last months company cover of Jessie J and I thought they were amazing so I had to try them out. I thought getting the line around the edges was so difficult. But this was my first time trying it so I'm pretty happy with the result. 

I've had a busy weekend, decided at 9pm last night that I would go out. It wasn't really a great night though maybe I was just too tired. I can't wait to get back to Dublin in September. I'm really going to work on my portfolio this year and hopefully start meeting new people and getting jobs :) I might be working on a shoot either tomorrow or next week so I'm pretty excited. Oh and I went a bit mad on the Illamasqua sale and lovemakeup.co.uk. I bought loads of lovely things that I will do a post about them with they come. If you haven't already look at the Illamasqua sale its so cheap!

Lipstick

I've been obsessed with wearing lipstick this week. I literally NEVER wear it unless its a night out and even then it would be rare. This week I've worn it out twice! Its a bit of a pain worrying about it smudging though. Any tips to stop it? I went with my friend to get her tattoo done today. I had never seen a tattoo being done in real life before. I was more nervous than she was. I would like to get a tattoo but I'm a wimp and I want to be a 100% on what I want because I would hate to get something and not like it after a year.

MUA lip boom in 'its a situation' I don't really understand how your meant to use it 

First drawing I've done in a long time. Bit wonky I just need to practice :)

Acid

This is my look for Acid brights. I used a bright pink lipstick from Barry M I think its number 52 vibrant pink. It doesn't look that bright in the pictures but it is highlighter bright pink. I wanted to try a double liner so I first lined my eyes with my Catrice gel liner and then the next line with my turquoise gel liner from Inglot. They mixed a bit so the turquoise is a bit darker than it normal is. 

I decided to do some nails to do with the look too. Barry M black polishes, which isn't great you need a few coats before its opaque and Angelica glitter polish in emerald which I love!

Something a bit different

I've been trying to wear more makeup than I usually do..(not in a bad way piling on the foundation). Just wearing things like lipstick, eyeliner and eye shadow. I usually leave these things for a night out but its more fun trying out something new! I'm so weird looking sorry haha

21

It was my birthday on Wednesday so here are some photos from the weekend. It was lovely. I didn't have a party just had a night out with my friend who is leaving for the summer :'( Oh I also just got instagram I don't feel like such a loser anymore! My user name is chantellemthomas!

Here my makeup from my birthday when I went out for dinner. I'm going to do this look again and post it during the week! 

And here is my makeup from Saturday night: 

Turquoise gel eyeliner from Inglot 

Glitter eyeliner in Hustle from collection 2000

I did my friends makeup too I used my neutral palette (above) from Inglot and a nude lipstick from Catrice.

Just thought I would show you what I did before I go to sleep (WRECKED!) The makeup went really well I'm happy with it and that's weird because I'm never usually happy with my work. Just had a really stressful day with lecturers and times being mixed up! I :( The costume wasn't completely finished so the costume designer wants to shoot again next week which I'm happy enough to do because I want to get proper photographs(we were shooting film) and I want to improve on what I did today so I can put the picture in my portfolio.

Just let me know what you think!

Who's That Chick

I said ages ago that I wanted to post more makeup looks on here so the other night I decided to do this look:

I know this is mega old but I had saved it last year but never had a yellow eye shadow until I got my Inglot palette last week. Its a very bright look so I don't think I would be wearing it in public any time soon! haha. It was fun to do though! I've got loads of ideas for other looks that I will be posting soon! 

Products used:

GOSH X-ceptional wear foundation

Collection 2000 Lasting perfection concealer in 1 fair

Barry M lipstick in 52

Ben Nye Rouge wheel 

Ben Nye translucent powder in fair

Screen Face Cake eyeliner in 404

Inglot eyeshadows Yellow and white

Collection 2000 Big fake mascara

What I've bought recently

I had some extra money last week so I decided it was about time I bought the Inglot palette I've been meaning to buy for AGES. I decided to get a colourful palette instead of something neutral. This palette would be more for my kit because I never really wear bright coloured shadow but this is perfect for photoshoots! This palette was €55 which isn't bad for the size of the shadows and I've heard that they are amazing. I tried to get a student discount because I'm a makeup student but they hadn't got any forms so I had to pay full price :(

Then I went to MAC because I wanted to pick up the brush cleaner. It was €12 which wasn't bad. I want to pick up some lipsticks from there soon but I am so indecisive. Any suggestions?

Last week I needed to get some new polishes so I decided to try Models Own. I found a discount code and there was a special on (5 for £18) which was good. I thought the shipping was a bit ridiculous it was nearly £10 to ship Ireland. I'll probably just buy them when I'm in England next time! 

Then I bought a bodycon skirt in H&M in black which was €5 and a dark blue velvet t-shirt from a shop in Dun Laoghaire. I don't have any pictures of them because they are in the wash :/ 

Here are my nails from the last two days. Just a simple white with black polka dots :)

Coloured Brows & Hair

I saw this MAC video on youtube last week and I though it was so cool. I have been wanting to dye my hair some kind of pastel colour for about a year now but I haven't built up the courage just yet. I bought a baby pink dye last summer but its still sitting in my room. I might do it one weekend during the easter holidays. 

Even though I've wanted to dye my hair bright colours I never thought about having coloured brows but its a really fun idea. 

I followed the tips and used Barry M "shocking pink" lipstick and a pink shadow from the sleek Acid palette. Its not something for everyday but I think it would be fun for a night out or at a festival or something like that. 

Here's my attempt.. I think the next photo shoot I do in college (if I have free time) will have bright lips and brows. 

What do you think?
