Downtown Abbey with a modernised twist .

Ansku called me a while back to book me for a last minute makeup sesh. Unfortunately I was unable to make it in such a short notice that time but then she remembered this occasion today. So we booked it well in advance. Was great fun to see her again. I warned her about me being under the weather however she didn't care. She wanted her makeup done. Such a sweetheart!!
I did her makeup for the first time during her bachelorette party for a photoshoot. She ended up loving the makeup so much she booked me for her wedding. You can read more about it here.

In the rush of her having to leave I only managed to snap a few pics of which only two were sharp enough for me to want to publish. Her invitation for this party was, as I understood it, quite Downtown Abbey inspired so I went with Edwardian Time colour scheme together with the roundness and softness of the makeup from that era but with a modern twist. I also applied 5 falsh lash singles on each eye as she feels her own lashes are a bit too short. So just to give that little bit of extra VaVoom,- but not to take the twist too far!

She's just so beautiful!! Look at those green eyes!!! Hope she has a blast tonight!

I got that Coca Cola bottle shape, But how much Cola can your body take?

So here's the look I've promised previously of my beloved eyeliner turned lipliner. I love this shade on my lips. Adding on just a slight hint of it, smudging it out and adding a peachy, orange-y, nude or clear lipgloss on top. luvluvluv.
However as I've mentioned in a previous post, I've never ever actually used this on anything but my lips. You can see some of my other looks wit this MUA Makeup Academy Intense Colour Eye Liner in Bright Orange included here, here and here.
I'm loving the Ombre brows!

This look converted into something a little bit more people friendly and a little less photoshoot would be amazing on the beach! Think, just the bright eyeliner only using a bringht orange eyeshadow, mixing it with Make Up Stores mixing liquid making it almost completely waterproof and applying it for a solid non smudgeable eyeliner for a sweaty and wet beach sesh. With just a tad white eyeliner on the waterline to brighten up your look, some lovely coral colour on your cheeks and a glossy or glittery nude lipgoss ! Ohhh I'm winding myself up. CAN'T WAIT to do this look now !!

Oh and one more thing before I let you off my rambling.. Orange is such a strong contrast to blue. So all the blue eyed ladies (and gents ;) ) out there, holla !! - This will makeup your blue eyes POP!
