GIVEWAY! Redken 'Color Rebel' Hair Makeup

'Color Rebel' Hair Makeup by Redken is a temporary hair colour or more accurately a hair paint that washes out after 2-3 washes and is meant for occasional use rather than frequent dying!

It's a handy way of getting bright funky hair without the commitment of the usual longer lasting hair dyes.

There are 5 colours in the range which are...

Glitter Eyeliner Tutorial; 2 Ways!

Another glitter look, this time on the eyes. I love and hate glitter in near equal measure but the love wins out thanks to just how friggin' gorgeous it looks!

(The hate stems from how hard it is to remove & clean up!)

I filmed a tutorial showing how to apply glitter as eyeliner 2 ways, the first tutorial comes with a bit of fallout and but is probably the easiest one to do due to the products needed, the second one is very tidy and perfect for anyone who wears contacts or has very sensitive eyes!

3D Gold Glitter Lips Tutorial!

I've been waiting for the Christmas Season to come around so I could finally try my hand at glitter lip art. This can be a tricky one to pull off, and by that I mean to have it look pretty and last for longer than just a few minutes!!

So here's how to apply glitter to your lips & make it last the night.

Black Widow Makeup Tutorial | Easy, Glam Halloween Look.

You Guys asked and I answered...

Here it is! 

An easy, achievable glam Halloween makeup tutorial which is a remake on one I did back in 2009 which ye can watch here...

Studded Ape Skull Makeup Tutorial | Halloween '14

This tutorial was more of an experiment rather than a well thought out planned design, but sometimes winging it on a very basic idea works out! Not 100% happy with it but it could've been a lot worse...

And I love just sitting down, playing with makeup and seeing where things go; 

I highly recommend you all do the same!!

Crazy Clown Makeup | Halloween 2014

Oh Halloween, how I love thee...

I figured it was about time for another clown makeup and this one is a messy looking, slightly unhinged little Fecker :P

But surprisingly easy to apply!!

Watch the tutorial at the bottom of this post to see how I applied it.

You will need;

Glue Stick (Non-toxic & washable!)

Water in spray bottle

3D SPIDER; Halloween Makeup

Yay! It's my favourite time of year again... the run up to Halloween. (I think I actually prefer the run up to the actual day!)

I was planning on starting my videos last week but wasn't feeling the greatest, so started with an easy enough design for people to re-create, and an easy one for me to do :)

This is a fun makeup to try out to scare the pants off of people, especially since most people seem to be terrified of spiders.

Cute Cartoon Girl Makeup Tutorial :)

Left; Actual Makeup
Right; Photoshopped Eyes (badly!)

Hey Lovelies :)

Today's tutorial is a cute and kooky one in which I (attempted) to turn myself into a cartoon character!

This will definitely appeal more to my younger viewers and anyone looking for a cute and fun look to wear to a fancy dress party.

I had a load of requests to do a look like this after my cartoon lips tutorial and was in the mood to do something totally different!

Cartoon Lips Makeup Tutorial :)

Hey Guys :)

I wanted to do something a little different and fun for a change and my sister asked if I'd do cartoon lips for her friend who wants to wear them out! So I did :)

Give it a go for the craic and have fun with it!

Crayon Lipstick!? How to make it & Is it safe???

I only just recently came across a video on 'How to make lipstick out of crayons' which led me onto other videos on the same subject and all of a sudden they are everywhere! ha ha. On Pinterest, Tumblr, Youtube. Where ever I've been hiding the past few months... I don't know how I hadn't noticed this earlier!

Anyhow, I decided that I wanted to give it a go, mostly just because it looks like fun and I love being crafty :)

Retro Future Makeup Tutorial.

I was struck with the urge to do something a little more creative than what I have been doing lately, and thought it would be the perfect time to use the Catrice 'Lace Patch Eyeliners' that had been sitting on my desk for the past couple of months.

The Hunger Games 'Catching Fire' Inspired Makeup & Outfit;

I finally got around to seeing the new Hunger Games movie 'Catching Fire' and as predicted, I loved it! I loved the videography, the over all aesthetic, the Capitol Couture fashion and of course the makeup. Oh yeah, and the actual story line didn't completely suck either :P

My favourite makeup look for the film was the one Katniss wore at the dance in the Capitol where she has striking red eyeshadow with glitter over an interesting double-lined wing eyeliner design. The rest of the makeup was kept fresh and delicate, really allowing for the eyes to stand out!

"International Gems"; Makeup & Outfit Collaboration with VintageOrTacky!

Ahoy hoy ^_^

Recently, Cora from the super popular and fab VintageOrTacky Youtube channel contacted me about collaborating on a makeup & outfit video inspired by a necklace that both of us came to own! I bought mine from River Island here in Ireland and Cora got her's online.

(Turns out Cora bought her's after she saw mine posted on my instagram a few months ago, ha ha)

Elaborate Masquerade Makeup Tutorial; Halloween '13

Booooooo :(

It has come to that saddest time of the year again where I have to say goodbye to my Halloween makeup creations and return to the more 'everyday' wearable looks (mostly)....

 But before that happens, I have one last look to fit in before Halloween tomorrow and it's this elaborate masquerade mask makeup, possibly my favourite of all my Halloween looks from this year! 

It's a very theatrical look with obvious similarities to Prince Poppycock, Cirque du Soleil, Illamasqua's dark historical Berlin-esque aesthetic and a little reminiscent of my mask from last year too.

The Wicked Witch of the West; Halloween makeup tutorial.

Hey Guys,

 Only 2 weeks to go!!!!!!!!!

 and here's my next Halloween tutorial for the year.

It's the Wicked Witch of the West inspired by Theodora from the 2012 film "Oz the Great and Powerful" and Elphaba from the musical "Wicked" which I went to for my birthday earlier this year :)
