Helen Flanagan's contoured look

Everyone is asking the question?? Has Helen had surgery? What has she done different?

Well Helen Flanagan's look last night looked so sculpted due to contouring techniques!!

Helen is naturally a very beautiful girl and has amazing bone structure, however these tricks can be used on anyone.

These are the products i used

Mac studio sculpt foundation

Kryolan TV paint stick

Mac studio Tech powder

Mac pink opal pigment for the corner of the eye

Mac preferred blonde eye shadow - Marilyn Monroe range

Mac pink More Amour eyeshadow mixed with-

Stila Gilded gold eyeshadow for lash line and eye socket

Ardel natural lashes

Mac pro sculpting cream in 2 shades for contouring

Nars Laguna bronzer

Nars blush in Desire

Mac lipstick in Speed dial

The main products i used from the contour were the mac pro sculpting creams

Accentuate - Light shade

Pure sculpture - Dark shade

I used a MAC contour brush to create the sculpted shape then blended into the foundation 

I used Nars Laguna to blend out the contouring then used accentuate as a highlight.

I also used Topshop highlighting powder on the cheekbones.

I ised a selection of crown brushes inc the stiff brow brush and blended out the contouring with a crown brush duo fibre brush, and a selection of Crown brush eyeshadow brushes

Enchanted Fantasy makeup look

Thanks to CrownbrushUK i created a fantasy look i have called Enchanted!

They kindly sent me this lovely gift!

The smoke it out Palette and a selection of gorgeous brushes!

I created this look using a combination of products as listed below

Kryolan TV paint as my skin base

Stila Angel light powder to set the base

Crown Brush Smoke it out palette

Green and orange Neon pigments from Star gazer

Glitter from Eye Kandy cosmetics

Embelishment jewels from ebay 

The centre piece of the look is an old broach 

To create the detail i used Crown brush stiff brow brush. This helped to create the sharp edges!

The glitter was applied with this fab glitter applicator by Crown brush Uk.

I definitely recommend this as its a great applicator which allows you to pack on the glitter easily and also saves you from ruining your regular brushes by getting them clogged with adhesive and glitter particles.

I love crownbrush UK products as they are affordable but still at a professional standard!!

visit www.crownbrushuk.co.uk and view the selection of Makeup, brushes, and makeup accessories they have! They are amazing!

Natural fresh glow

This look is all about highlighting, soft contouring and warm natural colours!

Using your regular foundation you can warm the shade by adding a tan booster or liquid highlighter. This adds a dewyness to your foundation.

Products used

Mac Bronze pigment

Stila eyeshadow in bliss and sunset

Topshop bronzer in Sandcastle

Mac Mineralize Skin finish

Topshop Highlighter in Cresent

Mac Pro sculpting cream in Accentuate.

High Brow glow pencil from Benefit

Lipstick Hot voodoo from Nars

I used this inside the waterline of the eye. I don't like using white as it makes the eyeballs appear off white.

This bronze pigment i packed on the lid and sweeped it under the eye to give a bronzed shimmery glow to the look.

I contoured the socket with Bliss and sunset from Stila

I haven't used any eyeliner or False lashes with this look. I wanted to keep it really fresh and natural.

I used mac pro sculpting cream down the nose and on cheek bones followed by a dust all over of mac skin finish and highlight from top shop on the nose and cheekbones. I set the light areas like under the eye, chin and forehead with Stila Angel light pressed powder in Shade C.

I then finished with a shimmery bronze lipstick Hot Voodoo from Nars

Sam Faiers Disney birthday party - Minnie Mouse

Sam Faiers - Minnie Mouse TOWIE

On New years day i traveled to Essex to do the makeup for Sam Faier's birthday, as you can see from my previous posts.

I have only just been able to post about Sam's look due to OK magazine featuring her party in this months issue.

So here it is ! The makeup i used for Sam's Minnie Mouse makeup look!

When i am doing a heavy eye look i put a base all over the face, however i don't perfect the foundation until the end as the skin can get eyeshadow drop outs and my finger marks from doing the eye makeup.

I firstly started creating a dark brow with Carbon from mac with a damp angular brush to give cartoon dark brows.

Sam wanted to keep the look pretty and didn't want to be too much like a cartoon mouse so i kept to her natural brow shape.

Then i started on the eyes! i used Lemonaid eye primer from Benefit on the lid then packed on this gorgeous cherry bomb glitter from Eye Kandy cosmetics. A little glitter face adhesive was used to make sure it stayed all night.

The pads being used under the eyes are from Shadowshields. I love them especially with a look like this! Its save's you having to remove particles of glitter from the face later.

I then did a red fade out above the glitter with Louder by Mac

The lashes i used are Fever lashes! They give that big dolly cartoon like effect! Sam opted for just the top lashes!

I then did a winged liner, perfect finish skin and a pink blush.

Sam had her own lipstick which we used. Sorry guys - Cant remember the brand! However i love Russian Red by Mac which is very similar.

Everyone seems to be wondering and asking about the pads under Fernes eyes. These are Shadowshields!

They are a shield that sticks under the eye perfectly!

The purpose is to catch any eyeshadow drop and to give a perfect even application.

They are also great to use as a guide for your liquid liner! They help you create the perfect flick liner!

This is the first time i have used the, i was sent these by Shadowshields and i really love them!

Usually i use tissue or i clean up the under eye after i have finished with the eye makeup. 

Using Shadowshields not only saved me time but also helps with a neater application.

I would definitely recommend these to other MUA's and anyone who wears eye makeup.

You can buy them online at www.shadowshields.com or they are now available at any Salon services stores in the UK.

Blushers! NARS - My favourite day blushers

NARS blushers

My favourite blushers as you may have noticed are from NARS. I have worked for NARS in the past so i have used a variety of their products over the years. I find the finish really smooth and the pigment are fantastic!

There is also a wide variety of shades to chose from and they last a long time as you only need a small amount of product on your brush as the pigment quality is that good.

Here a range of the natural shades that can be used in the daytime or evening.

These shades will pretty much go with any eye or lip looks and are flattering on all skin tones.

My personal favourites are Orgasm and Deep throat.

Penny lane is a matte look blusher which is perfect for a fresh day look!!
