Festival Makeup Look | White Eyeliner


Hey guys! Happy hump day! Hope you're all looking forward to the weekend!! I know I am. 

Today I decided to recreate this white eyeliner look from Emilia Clarke. She plays daenerys targaryen off Game of Thrones and is just an absolute babe! I also think this look is perfect for summer music festivals as it's different but not too out there. So without further adieu, here's what I used to achieve this look! 

Face

I started off by moisturizing my face using  my St. Ives collagen moisturizer then I applied Rimmel Stay Matte liquid mousse foundation in True Beige all over my face using a flat top kabuki brush. Then for concealer I used L'Oreal True Match concealer in W1-2-3 Fair/Light. I set everything in place with L'Oreal True Match mineral powder in Light Ivory. For bronzer and contour I used NYC Sunny bronzer and on my cheeks I used a blush from my Hard Candy contour trio in 3 Strikes. For highlight I used Essence Bloom Me Up shimmer powder in Rose It Up. On my brows I just brushed through them with a spooly and definitely them using Covergirl brow makers in blonde

Eyes

For the eyes I started off by applying a shimmery bone colour from my Smashbox Full Exposure palette sample to my lids and took a matter warm brown to blend into my crease as my transition shade. Then I just blended a bunch of pinks into my crease using various shades from various palettes. To define my lower lash line, I used that same warm brown colour just to give a little shape to my eyes. Next I used a white eyeliner from Bonne Bell to create the line and wing and set everything in place with a white eyeshadow. I also added a very thin line of liquid eyeliner to the base of my lashes just to make my lashes a bit more full. I used my Kat Von D tattoo liner in Trooper. Next it was time to curl my lashes and I applied two coats of Benefit They're Real mascara to my top lashes and Clinique bottom lash mascara to my bottom lashes. 

Lips

For my lips I kept it pretty natural and applied my Maybelline Baby Lips Dr Rescue in Coral Crave

Update...I'm back!!

Hi everyone!!

I hope you are all fantastic and enjoying the lovely weather(at least my northern hemisphere friends). I just wanted to provide a little update and to say that I'm back! :)

As many of you know I took a little hiatus while I was getting ready to move just so I could focus on the task at hand. Well I am all moved in now and eager to get back to blogging.

I will be doing an apartment tour once I have everything where I want it and the decorating mostly finished. I've got some nifty DIY ideas thanks to Pinterest so I'm looking forward to sharing those with you!

I hope you guys didn't forget me and I'll be back with a new post tomorrow!

Cheers!
