| Valentine's Day | Makeup Look | featuring NYX Butter Gloss in Red Velvet |

It is that time of the year again - Valentine's Day!

I wanted to put together a make-up look for you that is both wearable for day or the night. 

This look features subtle lashes, glowing skin, soft curls, and a spin on the classic red lip. 

Now we all know that red lips create an alluring and luscious lip look but this year I have opted for a deeper red velvet shade using the NYX Butter Gloss in Red Velvet.

 The flawless application of false lashes requires you to first curl your natural lashes and always trim your false lashes to fit your unique eye shape. My biggest tip would be to use tweezers in application as it allows you to get as close to the lash line as possible.

Feathery, yet voluminous lashes can be worn effectively for day-time looks without being too dramatic. 

Be daring and give it a go! 

My key tip for a romantic, glowing, and luscious Valentine's Day look is highlighting!

Sweep a little (and I mean little, let's not go disco ball shiny) amount of illuminating or highlighting powder over the high points of your cheeks, down the nose, forehead, your chin, and finally your cupid's bow - where your lip forms two fine points. I used TheBalm's Mary Lou-manizer! This step brings a stunning amount of radiance to your face and attracts light to your crimson-stained romantic lips.

The final step is soft romantic curls - for that just-rolled-out-of-bed-look.

I used my GHD hair straightener to create soft curls from around the ear-level down. Shake your hair out, running fingers through the ends to loosen curls. Finish with a light spray of medium-hold hairspray for maximum curls and minimum fall throughout your day.

I hope you enjoyed my Valentine's Day look!

 I would love to know what your look will be this Valentine's Day too!

Happy Valentine's Day to you!

♡ Valentine's Day ♡ | Date Night Look | Nude Lip & Illuminated Base |

Happy Valentine's Day! 

Trusty and true I decided this year to stick to the basics and create a neutral, nude & illuminated makeup look for Valentine's Day. Don't get me wrong, I do wear a statement lip on a daily basis - but today I decided to forego the usual for something daring (for me) GOING NUDE!

The illuminated base was created by mixing some of Illamasqua's Skin Base Mixer in white to the Estee Lauder Double-Wear Foundation. Set with Maybelline's 24hr powder creates a waterproof and matte look. A MUST for summer here in Australia - it is 41C in Adelaide today! Topped off with the Balm Mary-Lou Manizer as highlight on the cheeks, keeps the overall look luminous.

This is a favourite look of mine for almost any occasion where you are wanting a glowing yet nude neutral makeup look. Keep reading for a full list of products used to create this look.

What are your "go-to" products for a luminous glow?

| Romantic Spring Wedding Look | Top 3 Tips To Achieve Stay-All-Day Makeup |

When I think of makeup with staying power I look for keywords on packaging like "long-lasting" "matte" "oil-free" "15 hour wear" and so on. If an event is outside it's important to incorporate an SPF into your routine. Be it applied as a pre-makeup moisturiser, or my favourite, in your liquid makeup! Anything to save some time!

This past weekend I attended my cousins wedding. It has been quite some time since I've been to a wedding. After planning an outfit, I was left thinking 'What makeup should I wear?' It was going to be a long day of driving to & from the venue (3-4 hours), the ceremony, and a reception. I knew I needed makeup that would last ALL day long!

The products pictured below are my essentials for a matte, yet luminous makeup look. Perfect for long wear, amped up feminine lashes, and a neutral toned lip.

TOP 3 TIPS TO ACHIEVE STAY-ALL-DAY MAKEUP

#1: PREP YOUR SKIN

Day to day I don't use a primer, this just means my make-up will only stay flawless & fresh for a limited amount of time. BUT if I need stay-all-day makeup - primer is key! A primer basically works like a barrier for your skin, it smoothes your complexion and fills in any visible pores & lines. Primer creates the optimum base for a make-up look! The primer barrier ensures your make-up doesn’t slip & slide throughout the day. Pairing a primer with a long-lasting foundation and you’re guaranteed impeccable coverage that will last.

Try: Benefit's POREfessional Primer teamed with Estee Lauder's Double-Wear Stay in Place Makeup with SPF.

#2: POWDER IS YOUR BEST FRIEND

I have skin that tends to get oily through the day, especially if outdoors. It's frustrating to see time you spent on your makeup look wasted when oil shifts your makeup. Using a lightweight face powder will set your make-up and help to absorb excess oil, leaving you with a shine-free and long-lasting finish. 

Try: Maybelline New York SuperStay 24hr Waterproof Powder.

#3: OPT FOR A LIP STAIN

I know many lip products say they are 'stay-all-day products' but in most cases this just isn't possible. Instead, opt for a lip-staining product that will ensure colour throughout your day /night. Lip stains help safeguard lip colour from fading through eating, drinking and avoiding the dreaded lip marks left upon the cheeks of friends & family. 

Try: Revlon's Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain. It come in 3 finishes and a HUGE array of colours for every look you need.

How do you ensure your make-up stays put all day?

The wedding ceremony venue was breathtaking. It was held along the riverbank of the beautiful Murray River in South Australia. A stunning cliff backdrop, millions of years in the making. As the sun set the cliffs turned to a bright orange hue. A truly magical day! 

What would be your ideal Spring Makeup Look?
