On Saturday my dad threw a fancy dress party, and if you read my other blog Rockit Style, you may already be aware that I went as a 1920's flapper. I love, love, love that era, the women were so glamorous, the clothes, make up and class, If I had a time machine to go back into the past my first stop would be the 1920's.
I loved creating this look, as always I've taken a snap of what I used to create it.
- Foundation - Bobbi Brown long wear even finish in warm beige 3.5. This is an excellent foundation and it's staying power is up there with Estee Lauder's Double Wear.
- Real Techniques - Stippling Brush, I love this brush, it really blends in the foundation a must have for any makeup addict
- Powder - I used the Maybelline Fit Me pressed powder in 125 nude beige, I always set my face with powder now, it really does make it last that much longer.
- Concealer - I forgot to photograph my concealer but I used the Maybelline Fit Me concealer in 15.
- Highlighter - MAC Cream colour base in Pearl Frost - I always use this on my cheek bones, nose and cupids arrow. I also put a little bit under my eyes to really illuminated them for this look.
- Blush - SLEEK Blush by 3 pallet in Sugar - I love this palette its my fave at the minute, I used the colour in the middle of the palette and its called Muscovado, its a shimmery gold and red, just beaut!
- Eye shadow - SLEEK Storm Palette, I used the really light cream colour (second one on the top row) all over my lid, then used the really dark brown (5th along on the bottom row) for the corners, then blended it slightly into the center of the eyelid.
- Eyes continued...- MUA Glitter eyeliner, in shade 2. I love this stuff and at £1 it's incredible. After I had blended my shadow into the crease and the middle of the lid, I then put the glitter liner all over the rest of the lid to create a super sparkly eye. The pictures don't do the sparkle justice!
- Eyeliner - Sephora eyeliner creme in smoky. I lined my lash line and created a little flick at each end of the lids.
- Mascara - Rimmel Scandaleyes mascara. I lightly coated my lashes before applying lashes.
- Lashes - I bought the lashes in Asda, they were reduced from £4 to £2, bargain!
- Lip Liner - NARS Damned lip liner, love this, if your not into a bright red lip then this is your answer to glamorous dark lips
- Lip Stick -NARS Scarlet Empress - love the name of this so movie-esque, rich colour too, delish!
- Lip Gloss - Sephora nameless lip gloss, it's a very deep winey colour that compliments the NARS lipstick so well and it smells like marshmallows - yum!
VIOLA - 1920's glamour!
How cool are these lashes, when I first spotted them in asda, I didnt hold out much hope with regards to quality and lasting the night, but boy was I wrong! (this pic was actually taken at 1am) They lasted all night, I am a DUO lash glue girl, but i'd ran out so I had to use the glue that was included but it worked really well. I loved these lashes that much that i'm making a trip back to Asda at the weekend to stock up, after all there on sale! would be rude not to really!
Although I paired this look with my 1920's theme it's definitely a look I will be recreating for my Christmas parties. The MUA Glitter liner was so glittery and stayed on all night, it dried fairly quickly and didn't cause any creasing. I believe that MUA Cosmetics have an amazing 35% off all their products and free shipping over at their online store, and it's on for the week! You can check that out HERE
Much love pretties
