OMG! It’s been like what, 2 weeks since I’ve posted? Wow! SORRY! But I have been horrendously busy! With Science assignments that make no sense to me to competing in a drama competition, there has been no time for me to sit down and just type. So today I made myself give up all my assignments and bring to you all…..wait for it……still wait for it…..it’s getting intense in here….. A MAKEUP TUTORIAL!

My first makeup tutorial is a bit of a daunting experience but it’s time for all the young girls out there to be brave, and bold…with their LIPS!

But first things first we need to cover up. Start by using the Maybelline BB cream, but only dab in your T-zone, under eyes and in any breakouts that you seem to have. I would recommend not using a brush, because coverage seems to be lost in the brush which is why it is much better to just use your fingers to blend in the BB cream. Next up is the set powder; we use powder to get rid of that oily shine to a clearer, glowing soft look. I’m using the Rimmel’s Stay Matte Pressed Powder (which does wonders for your skin, so it’s a definite must have in your make up collection!). By using a powder brush, you just want to lightly dust the powder over your face or until you feel that your skin is covered (without over doing it of course). So now that we have the base, we can go and glam up your eyes!

When applying any powder to your eyes, a primer is needs. This allows the eyes shadow to set and can cause less crinkles and wrinkles on your eyelid. So the look that we are going for is a soft, Smokey brown eye. Remember when doing your makeup is it important to only have one stand out piece whether it is your lips, eyes or cheeks. In this case we are opting for a statement lip, so our eyes need to be soft and not over do anything. On my mini eye shadow pallet, I started by mixing the orange colour with the light brown above is and I applied that from the inner of my lid to just the middle, from there I used the grey brown on the outer corner of the lid and blended it just above my crease line and into the middle of the eyelid. Then I applied the matte brown to the outer corner, but just the outer corner and the tiniest bit underneath my eye to enhance the smokey look. I know you’re probably wondering, what brush?  I’m just using my pointing finger and ring finger because I feel that when going for a smokey look, this gives the best, desired outcome! If you’re doing a black smokey eye it is best to use a black eyeliner, but since this is a brown look, we are using a brown liner which is only applied to the lower lash line (Or waterline), and from the outer to the middle of the upper lash line. And finally, MASCARA! My favourite part! I’m using Maybelline’s Cat Eye mascara because it offers the sleek and sexiness that this look desires, but honestly any mascara would look good, especially if it offers volume to the eyes.

This is the part you have all been waiting for, I know! It the LIPPPSSS!!!! The best colour for lips to make that statement is R-E-D! I personally love the colour red, I think it works well with anything but when paired with a LBD (little black Dress) and a gold necklace, you literally become a Goddess!

I’m not using any fancy red lipstick, but I encourage you guys to use a M.A.C , Topshop or Limecrime lipstick because it would last longer and give a better outcome to your desired look.  Anyway, the lipstick I’m using is a classic bright red which completes this makeup look.

So there it is! My first makeup tutorial! If you’d like to see more of these leave it in a comment below and maybe suggest what looks you would like to see next!

Thank you all for reading and I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!

That’s all Folks!

The breakups: When you get dumped, it doesn't hit you until you see that person again and realize that they are not yours anymore. That feeling or sadness and emptiness hits you hard and all you can do is curl up in a ball of blankets, watch sad movies and hate yourself. The first step to dealing with this is to find your friends, not those that are friends with your ex (because they might turn on you and stand up for your ex when really it’s you who needs the support), you need friends who are close to you and have stuck by you throughout the whole relationship because they will be the ones to pick you up again…got that person in mind?...Plan a girls night, this is your only opportunity to binge out on chocolate, ice cream, chips and lollies, and you need to watch movies! From Scary ones and comedy ones, to soppy sad love stories and romantic ones! The sad ones will allow you to cry, whether it is for you lost love or for the movie, and the comedy ones are to make you laugh and forget about them!

Breakup Movie Musts:

There is really no cure to a breakup, you just need the time to heal, so stalk new boys (I honor thee with the permission to do so), and have fun with your friends because you WILL be able to pick yourself up again!

The haters: Haters annoy me, like seriously do they have nothing better to do? Well the only solution to a hater on the internet is to block them, report them and ignore them. 3 easy steps! Haters are the jealous people of the world and they want to either be like you or want to put you down so they can feel good about themselves. The best way is to not let any of it get to you and focus on all the positive comments because for every hater, there are a million people who are nice and loving and they are your kind of people!

  

The judgmental friend: When you have a Judgmental girl at your school or even a judgmental friend it is really hard being yourself around them because you easily feel that they are constantly judging you by what you wear, what you look like, maybe even what you sound like and it is pretty impossible not to feel insecure about yourself. To me, these people are bullies because they do have a tendency to talk about you behind your back like “Oh my god, did you see how much makeup she was wearing, she’s such a sl*t” When really makeup is probably the only thing that is letting her get up in the morning and go to school feeling confidant, and even that, she probably wasn't wearing that much makeup as well. I think that anyone who is mean to anyone all relates back to the fact that they are jealous of you which means there is nothing you can do about it because all girls are judgmental of one another, however some girls take it to a whole new level which is where you can either a) ignore the girl because you are better than that (If this girl is just some mean girl and is not really a friend) or b) If the person is a close friend of yours, you need to talk to them and tell them that its rude and its hurting a lot of people’s feelings because then they might understand and stop the amount of judging things that they say and if they don’t, it might be time to let that friend go.

The best friends: When best friends fight and each choose friends to be on their side and your just there, stuck in the middle, is probably one of the hardest things to deal with because you know that you can loose on friend or both friends altogether. So your job is to be the peacemaker and solve everyone’s problems which are a pain in everyone’s ass.

The Peacemakers Guide to solving fights in Friendship

Step 1: Actually find out what the fight is about and get both sides of the stories.

Step 2: See what facts match up and what facts don’t

Step 3: Talk to friends about the situation, so basically interrogate them on what they know and whose fault they think the fight was.

Step 4: From all the information gathered, you should know what the fight is about and now it’s time to solve it!

Step 5: If it is over a guy, tell them that they should never fight over a guy and loose a friendship over because it will be a massive mistake and part of the girl code: Hoe’s Over Bros!

Step 6: If it’s over lies and just bitchiness, that’s just girls and you can either a) trick them into meeting up to solve their problems themselves or b) Sit down with them BOTH, and say that they have been friends for too long to lose a friendship over.

Step 7: If Steps 5 and 6 don’t work then maybe they were never good friends in the first place and this was bound to happen sooner or later, it sadly comes down to your decision of deciding who you think is a better friend that will be by your side always, and if none of them come in mind, find another group of friends that you like as well!

The Parentals: Parents trying to control is the worst thing imaginable, because in most cases you’re the one who likes to control your own self. Your temper rages when you have to repeat things a billion times and you can’t help but talk back because you believe you are right. The only advice that I can give anyone who has annoying parents is just act yourself, just don’t get too angry or mean, because in the teenage years it’s all about finding yourself and your allowed to yell and get mad, but when you’re older you will learn to appreciate you parents, these things just take time.

Just don’t do drugs. Or hang out with people who are on the wrong tracks of life.

WOOOOO!!!
