Less Can Be More...




Hey My Gorgeous Girls, 


So a quick post just to show you how some make up looks can be worn both during the day and at night. 

The key is the keep the colours as simple as possible, warm tones and neutral tones working best for this, which means they will not conflict 
with any last minute outfit changes
 (we are all guilty of this, well I know I am at least).




The warm brown colours used above work really well with most skin tones, especially those who are lucky enough to have that perfect
golden skin - I am jealous. 




So ladies, keep the glitter to a minimum for your day look as it is the secret to making sure your make up doesn't look to over the top and out of place.


This also leaves room for you to jazz it up if going out with the girls later on 

and feel like you 
still have a brand new face
of make up done. 
Just adding a hint of gold or glitter can make this look really come to life and 
make a statement like you would expect
an evening make up look
to make. 

Keeping it simple doesn't mean you have to look any less FAB!


Stay Beautiful x

In the Eyes of Princess Jasmine

Hey my lovelies, 


Straight in with my first ever post... I'm feeling nervous!
 Really hope you all like it. 

So, if you are anything like me, you look for an alternative on Halloween to having to cover yourself in blood and then, attempting to get it off the next day for work (usually unsuccessfully).
So this year I decided to take my inspiration straight from Disneyland and tried to recreate a modern, yet show stopping, Princess Jasmine Look. 
Being Arab, she was always the princess i wanted to grow up to be, 
guess it's never too late to make something become real. 
Who said we are too old to be princesses anyway?




As you can see, i started off with a basic smokey eye look - simply creating a light to dark effect with the use of white and 
black eye shadows. But to be a princess you need to be special, so there was no exception when it came to this make up either. 
Princess Jasmine is known for her gorgeous blue outfit, so i chose this bold blue colour from my new MAC eye palette
and incorporated it into this look.

Girls, go over the top with this look and add a little bit of glitter on top of the white eye shadow to 
give you that extra sparkle in your eye. 

Lastly, complete this beautiful Middle Eastern Princess look with a head piece. Little tip, buying a long diamond earring and attaching it to your 
hair is a quick and easy way to achieve this.
