When Bobbi B met Claire

On Saturday one of my best friends asked me to do her makeup for a wedding she was attending. Claire usually wears Estee Lauder Double Wear but on Saturday I gave her pretty little face a splash of something new to wear.  I used the latest Bobbi Brown long wear even finish foundation.  I can definitely say after wearing it for the last several weeks myself, its definitely my favorite at the minute (a full review to come soon)

My beautiful friend Claire after having her makeup done (forgot to take before pics)

 

Having your makeup done in daylight is a total must, as you can see these pictures were taken in a full stream of day light and it really shows the true effects of how your face will look when you step outside.  Claire's look was fairly natural with a slightly purpley/gold smokey eye and pink lips.  Clair doesn't have noticeable eyelids when here eyes are open so I took the colour on the lids up a little higher so that you could still see a hint of colour when her eyes were open.

Ingredients for Claire's look:

I also added a little bit of lipgloss and some Sephora setting powder to her face after her face was finished and then sprayed a little Urban Decay "All Nighter" on her face to keep her makeup in place for longer.  Claire said her makeup stayed on all day and night and she only needed to touch up her lips #excellent.

I am still a newbie to professional makeup application so any tips or tricks are always welcome!

Until next time beauties, Much Love

Just for fun - Pin me up sweetie!

Hola my little pretties, and to all my lovely new followers, thank you for joining up! Yesterday was my first day back to work after 4 weeks off (wedding & honeymoon) and it wasn't so bad, I survived. It was also pay day #hooray!  So with a few bucks in my pocket I was finally able to book my pro makeup course.  I am so excited about this, and the course starts on my birthday, what a wicked way to spend turning 27.  The course doesn't start until January, but that's ok, just means more time to build up my kit.  All in all yesterday was a GOOD day! 

On Saturday I picked up the new foundation from Rimmel - Match Perfection, so last night I tried it out and it's quite amazing I have to say.  I will try this out for a few more weeks to test out staying power, and i'll report back but so far it's pretty flawless.  The classic pin up look is one of my faves, so I gave it a bash, I even pinned in some victory rolls, but they didn't last as my hair is so soft at the moment and super long, but anyway here's a modern take on the classic pin up look ......

I Love it!  If I could get away with wearing this to work everyday I would!  What do you think?

If you want to recreate your own classic pin up look, here's my ingredients:-

* Rimmel Match Perfection (my colour 103 true ivory)

* Sephora smoky cream liner in "must have" (black)

* Sephora blush in no.10 romantic rose

* MAC cream colour base in Pearl 

* MAC eye shadow in Brule

 MUA lipstick in shade 8

* Collection 2000 lasting perfection powder in 1 fair

* NARS velvet matte lip pencil in "damned"

* Benefit IT stick

* Benefit "they're real" mascara

* False lashes ( I used a pair from Accessorize that I had in my kit) 

OH...and not forgetting a brown pencil for my brows (khol pencil, cant remember the make)

So, go try this out, and if you do re create this look, please leave a link to your post in the comments so I can come take a peek at all you beauties :)  and if you have any question on how I created this look feel free to e-mail me at kirstypiriemakeup@gmail.com or tweet me @missksmudger
