Star Wars Series: C3PO Make-Up Tutorial

Welcome back!

I have finally got back on to YouTube after a little break and I thought that I'd carry on with my Star Wars blog/vlog series. If you haven't already pop over to my YouTube and give me a subscribe, I'd really appreciate it.

Anyway I thought that this week I would do a C3PO inspired make-up tutorial. It was so fun to play around with golds and yellows (colours I don't usually go for!). Here are the products I used.

Here is the finished look. As you can see I didn't want to go for just a gold smokey eye look. I wanted to go full out and make my face actually look like robotic parts. Let me know what you think of this look down below in the comments.

And here is the video. I will in insert it into this blog post, but the quality is alot better if you actually view it on YouTube. If you want the full list of products I used pop over to the video on my YouTube channel here and open the description box.

Dark Fairy Inspired Makeup Tutorial

Welcome back!

It's that time of year when the days are getting shorter and the nights are growing darker, which inspired me to create a darker makeup look. It focuses heavily on purple smokey eyes, bold contouring and a dark lip to match. This look is perfect for nights out or even during the day when your channelling some grunge vibes!

If you saw my previous makeup video then you know I am still relatively new to filming and Youtube. But as always your support and patience is greatly appreciated and if you want you can subscribe to me here.

Sweet Fairy Inspired Make-Up Tutorial

Welcome back!

This week I took a chance and created my first every make-up tutorial video on Youtube. Now, if you know me then you will know this is a huge step for me because I am quite insecure about my voice. Also I am not exactly the most outgoing or loud person either. This was a big step, but as the saying goes; "nothing good ever came from your comfort zone!".

I decided to start my YouTube channel off easy with a simple glowy fairy make-up tutorial and here it is!

If you enjoyed this tutorial please hop over to my Youtube (PoppyMayy) and give me a subscribe. I've only just started out so it would be greatly appreciated sweeties!

Easy Daily Eyebrow Make-Up Routine

Welcome back!

This post is for all you girls (or guys!) that love the idea of perfect eyebrows but just don't have the time to maintain them or spend hours at a time doing them. That is me. I hopped on the "eyebrows on fleek" band wagon but have no intention of having them stay "on fleek". My eyebrows on an everyday basis are like fake fleek. They look fine but I have literally only spent three minuets on them. Wanna know my secrets? Keep reading...

First things first, brush out those brows! I just use a spooly brush I got with my Sephora make-up brush kit, but feel free to use whatever one you have handy. I like my brows to look full so I brush them upwards and outwards. If they look a bit too much for you just smooth them down a little.

Now onto the actual products. I use a combination of two Benefit products; brow zings and gimme brow.

All I do is outline my brows with the brow wax with the angled brush provided. Once you get the hang of it you can easily do each brow in under a minuet. Just follow the natural shape of your eyebrow. 

I then take the brow powder and fill my outlined brows in. For this I use the rounded brush. After that, if you feel they still look too sparse go back in with the brow wax. I usually use the angled brush in small upward strokes to mimic real hairs. The quicker and less precisely you do this the more natural your brows will look.

The last step is to just set it all with the gimme brow. I'm pretty generous with this and apply two coats to each brow (let it dry in between). I just simply brush the product through as if I was brushing my brows normally. 

And your done! Honestly its that simple to create an everyday eyebrow with little effort. But remember practice makes perfect, the more you do this the quicker you'll get!

How To Make-Up: Strobing

Welcome back!

I haven't done a make-up post in such a long time so I thought I would take to the internet and scour around for an up coming trend. I had already seen some "strobing" before at various fashion shows and I had always admired the youthful dewy complexion it gives. I think it makes people look angelic almost ethereal (depending on how much glow your going for). I decided to give it a go, however, I have made it slightly more wearable for those of us who have a fear of looking like a disco ball!

Anyway, let's get started. As always make sure your skin is prepped and ready, clean of excess oils and left-over make-up as well as moisturised.

The only three products I used to this create this look were the Benefit high beam highlighter, Rimmel clear complexion powder and the highlighter in the Sleek contour palette.

I started the look off with a cream based highlighter; high beam. I was pretty generous with this as this was my base and I wanted it to be as bright as possible. I applied it with the applicator brush and blended it in with my fingers. This product is pretty easy to blend in too, so looks pretty natural. Below I have created an illustration of where exactly I applied the highlighter (along the cheek bones, above and below the eyebrows, bridge of the nose, cupids bow and chin).

After that is all blended in I powdered over it with the clear complexion powder. Once that's done, take a contouring brush and apply the powder highlighter where you applied the liquid earlier as well as your temples. Finish the look off with your favourite setting spray. 

Here are some photos of the finished look: 

I hope you enjoyed this wearable strobing look!
