HOLY COMMUNION - Mother & Daughter Hair/Makeup

This past weekend, my Godaughter along with her brothers celebrated their First Holy Communion, so I was in charge of her hair as well as her mothers hair and makeup :) ...

DANIELLA - My Godaughter

Daniella sabia exactamente lo que queria! she didnt want tight curls, and she didnt want something like 'all the other girls' (those where her exact words!) and she was adamant she wanted braids!! so I had to come up with something simple, but nice for the ocasion, and so I decided on two very small braids at the front and then the rest of the hair was curled in more or less lose curls...

MONICA

With Monica, originally we where going to go for something dramatic on the eyes, and we where going to leave her hair down... a lo ultimo decidimos en el cabello recojido in a very modern side chignon (bun) and suttle on the eyes but a nice vibrant lip color ...

EYES:
NEW C.I.D COSMETICS CONCEALER - this worked really well as a base!

MAC EYESHADOW IN NAKED LUNCH
LIGHT BROWN ON THE CREASE - using Manly Palette
DARKER BROWN ON THE OUTER 'V' - again using an eyeshadow from my Manly Palette
NEW GIRLS ALOUD EYELURE LASHES - Cheryl Cole full and flirty lashes
BOURJOIS LIQUID LINER - black
AVON GLIMMERSTICK EYELINER - black

LIPS:
NO.17 LIPGLOSS IN A BERRY PINK SHADE (cant remember the name sorry!)

FACE:
USED MONICAS OWN FOUNDATION

HAIR

Her hair was slightly damp and using a flat brush I brushed her hair to the side and with a strong hair band held it in place then with a few hair grips i manipulated it into a chignon (not too messy but not too neat)
then using Phyto Sculpting Gel I set the rest of the hair making sure there where no wispy bits.

Yellow & Green Eyes (Rhianna Inspired)

EYES INSPIRED BY RHIANNA'S 'WHO'S THAT CHICK' MUSIC VIDEO ...

El color amarillo no es que sea el color mas comun para usar como sombra en los ojos... maybe because its too bright? some people may feel they are going to look like un payaso! lol (if u dnt do it right any makeup can make u look like a clown!) others are just a little scared to experiment... however, Rhianna inspired this next look, I was watching her 'Whose That Chic' video y me encanto el maquillaje! soooo I tried doing something similar pero algo que yo se que cualquiera puede lucir... so hope you like...

SKITTLE NAILS

Hey ladies, ok so I have been a litlle M.I.A (missing in action) but I am back with a lil' post on some awesome nail varnishes that I have used for a while now, but I recently got some new vibrant colours perfect for this awesome weather! y en preparacion para el verano ... weeepppaaaa...

Los esmaltes son de una marca que se llama L.A. COLORS ... I bought them from a store in Westfields called Beauty Base ... los esmaltes vienen en diferentes colores (its nail varnish heaven!), solo cuestan 99p cada uno (yes i know that cheap!) pero apesar de ser baratos son buenisimos!! they have a nail hardener so for anyone who is having issues with their nails being thin etc these nail varnishes are awesome!
My job requires me to work infront of a computer which means endless hours typing, and these nail varnishes can last upto a week even two without chipping! (no lie!! i literally kept a record)

so today I used the new colors i bought and came up with SKITTLE NAILS just cus each nail is painted in a different nice shade ...

Hope you like! :)
