Pikachu (Birthday) Makeup Tutorial!

A couple of week�s ago I went to a fancy dress party and the theme was �Favourite Childhood Characters�.  It really wasn�t a difficult decision at all for me who I adored growing up (apart from Count Duckula) it was of course Pikachu.  I have been obsessed with Pokemon since it hit my TV at the age of about 13, I have every episode of the original TV series on DVD and have completed both red, blue, yellow and diamond editions of the game on my multiple gameboys. 

Now, being as it�s my birthday today (I�m 25, so old!) I decided to upload my Pikachu tutorial in ode to my childhood.  If you are ever in need to look like a pokemon, look no further!

Pikachu!

I really hope you enjoy this video.  Do subscribe to my YouTube channel (it�d make my day) and let me know what your favourite Pokemon was, maybe I�ll do their tutorial next!  For now, I�m back to birthday celebrations! 

Who was your favourite childhood character?

Smokey Eyes (First Date) � Tutorial!

I was feeling super inspired a couple of weekends ago and decided to film myself getting ready (for a date, ooo-err) and made it into a tutorial for you guys!  Admittedly, this is nothing special makeup wise � I wear this look daily to work and find it really quick and easy to do; it just consists of a bit of eyeliner, flawless base and smokey under-eye shadow.

Watch the video below to see how I created this look!
 
 

Tutorial!

Kiehls Ultra Light Daily Defense SPF 50

I really hope you guys enjoy this!  I�m quite embarrassed about going totally eye makeup free (don�t think I�ve EVER done that before on this blog) but I think it adds to the before & after look!  If you are short of time but want to try this look, swap the gel liner for a liquid liner in a pen form, it�s a lot quicker!

Do let me know if you would like to see any more tutorials from me in the future!
