Review // Mac Rubenesque Paintpot // MOTD

~ Cats and Contours ~ 4 Comments

Hi guys!

Just a quick post today as I’m not feeling too good! I had to have a play with my new Mac paintpot in the shade rubenesque, its so gorgeous!

I used it as a base for a golden shadow (Half-baked in Urban Decays Naked 2) and I can’t get over how beautiful it looks!

Sorry for how rough I look! I’ve got a migraine on the way bit I but I had to share how beautiful this combination looked!

I love the smooth texture of the paintpots and the way that they really give life to the shadows that you put on top.

What do you guys think?

Hope you are all having a lovely weekend!

Makeup of the Day // Gold Foil and Nude Lip

~ Cats and Contours ~ 4 Comments

Hi Guys!

I know this is generally a theme with me, but I can’t resist a golden shimmery eye with a nude lip!  This look is for going to meet some friends that I haven’t seen in over a year now for lunch and I want to look bright eyed and awake not like I didn’t go to sleep till almost 2am!

Today I am wearing my Black Milk A-Sassy-Nation with a black low cut Maxi Dress from Boohoo and a pair of black biker boots.

I really enjoyed doing this look and I feel that this is going to be my favorite new go-to look for the weekends.  The Makeup Revolution foiled shadows are great, the texture is a little weird and found that I had to set it a little bit with some similar coloured eyeshadow but for the price it isn’t too bad!

My hair is styled by Elle as she is a braid QUEEN. ❤

Hope you all had a lovely weekend and are now winding down for the week coming up!  Bonus cat picture included 😉

Hi Guys!

So Elle and I decided to do a different sort of blog today, this is the first time i’ve ever done makeup on someone else!  SO I did exactly the same makeup look on myself as I did on Elle to demonstrate how the same makeup could look so different on someone else.  We went for a cut crease, rose eyeshadow and black winged liner which suited us both.  Luckily for me she is exactly the same skin colour as me pale as a ghost Pale and interesting.
