Everyday Tutorial: Zahra

Hey I'm back with a make up tutorial.
Laura's done her everyday make up tutorial so you can go check it out here.

Nivea Soft Moisturising Cream
Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream
Missha Under Eye Brightener
Alix Avien Powder
Essence Long Lasting Eye Pencil


First thing, I apply a layer of moistering cream before putting on my conclear. I only apply it to my dark circles or spots if any are extermly visible. I like liquid conclear the best because I feel as if it hides your dark circles more rather than the stick or powder ones, I dunno that's just my opinion. What's yours? 

Next is my BB cream. Some people like to apply it with their hands and others like to apply it with a brush. I like to use my hands.

Powder/Foudation: I only where it if I'm going somewhere other than school. I currently use powder (have to buy new foundation) but I try to use less of it because my parents don't like it and they lecture me on how bad it is and that'll ruin my face. I kinda agree with them though.

My fav, eyeliner. I use gel pencil eyeliner. All I put it on the waterline and tightline. I simply drag (don't drag it out too much) and join it on the outer edge.

I do my eyeshadow and lipsick different colours each day. But for simple days I only apply the eyeshadow to my lid and for my lips, I pick a colour to suit the eyeshadow and wear lipgloss to make my lips pop more.

For mascara I like to wear two coats of different ones to make them look longer.

So that was my everyday make-up look. Comment below on what's your?

See You Later,

Everyday Makeup Tutorial-Laura



Hey guys!
Today ill be talking through my favourite makeup products to use everyday:) I wear makeup almost everyday unless i don't have time/i'm lazy or i'm not doing anything that day:D

Products- 
Garnier bb cream
Garnier under eye concealer
Mac- betty blush in 'cream soda'
Essence eyebrow pencil in 'blonde'
No7 eyeshadow in 'antique rose'
Maybelline great lash mascara in 'very black'
Benefit lipgloss in 'freshly squezzed'

Reasons- 
I love the bb cream because its really light and evens out the skin tone same with the conceler. The blush is a really pinky colour, its really natural and blends out easily. Im obsessed with the essence eyebrow pencil because its easy to apply and only takes me about 3 minutes. I apply the no7 concealer all over my lid, its a really simmer pinky colour, i dont know if this is weird but i apply the blush on the outer colour and blend, its a really pretty nuetral eye look for school. The maybelline mascara makes my lashes look so voloumised and long! Just apply a few coats for a everyday look and more coats for a night look, and lastly i apply a bit of lipgloss to add a bit of colour to my lips!

And thats it hope you guys enjoyed and leave a comment down below!

Last minute Zombie Costume




Hey there!
 I'm gonna show you how to put together a costume literaly at the every last minute. So first you can get any top or t-shirt you don't wear any more and go grab scissors. Okay now heres the fun part! TEAR that shirt up, let all your anger out by ripping the edges of the shirt and creating circles in the outer centres of the fabric. To finish the look off you can wear washed out jeans but in a really bold colour, this is optinal, if you like you can wear an accessory like a skull necklace that you see in the picture; bought from New Look a while ago at a low price.

So for the make-up.......well honestly I didn't have a clue in my head what to do with my makeup but I just picked up my brushes and went with the flow. First off make sure that your skin looks really pale almost as if your actually dead. If you have light skin thats great but if you're slightly tan like me, use pale white foundation. Now for the eye makeup first put a light but bold coloured red from your eyelid to the browbone, then add some to under your eye, next get black eyeshadow, apply it to the underline of your eye and also to the lid all the way to the browbone but making sure that the red is still visible. apply purple, brown and blue to some parts to give a bruised effect.
Do this with any part of your face, first the red slowly adding and dabing black, grey, brown, purple, blue and a bit of darker red at the very end.
For the lips use red lipstick (even though I wasn't wearing it that moment in the picture) Apply a tiny coat of  purple eyeshadow on the edges of the lips.
If you like you can tease your hair.

Bye for now, Hope to post soon and happy halloween!

Red Coat from Pretty Little Liars Costume Tutorial

Hey guys!
Today im gonna be showing you a really quick and affordable costume idea from the tv show Pretty Little Liars. PLL is one of my favourite tv shows so i decided to give you an idea, so for any of you who have less than 24 hours to come up with an idea then keep on reading: 

Clothing:
All your gonna need is a red coat which you should probably have in your closet already but if you don't its okay, you could quickly go down to a thriftshop near you and they'll probably have one there, if they dont then you could also go to penney's and buy one for an affordable price. Red coat also has black tights and black high heels, if you would like something a bit more comfer then you could throw on a pair of black converse.

Hair:
Red coat has blonde hair,if you have blonde hair just curl it and your good to go.
But if you don't you could easily find a wig somewhere, maybe even a friend might have one. 

Makeup: 
For makeup i would recommend going for a nuetral eye but a bright pop of colour on the lips such as a red (mac or rimmel have good one's) 
But really it's up to you have fun doing different makeup looks for halloween!

And thats it, hope you guys enjoyed . if you recreate this look dont forget to send us an email! See ya next time ;)

Candy Corn Nails




So in the spirit of halloween, I decided to come up with this cute candy corn tutorial. I think these are the most adorable nails for Halloween, of course apart from the usual scary Halloween-themed nails. So let's get started!

First of all what you're gonna need:
Tape
Black nail polish-Essence 144 Black is Black
Yellow nail polish-Asian brand (borrowed from friend)
Orange nail polish-Claire's nail polish (no name)
white nail polish-Claire's nail polish (no name)
basecoat-Angelica Matte Basecoat
topcoat- NYC In a minute nail polish in Grand central station

I first put on my basecoat and paint a two thin coats of the black. Make sure its dry to the touch, then place two strips of tape on both sides to form a triangle. Then paint the triangle white. Wait for that to dry the paint an orange strip across the the white tringle using the nail polish brush. Do the same thing with the yellow. Then paint on a generous amount of topcoat. And you're all  set! You'll sure get complements on your adorable candy corn nails.

Tips:
-Make sure you wait between colours so they won't smear.
-thin coats do best.
