New video - Tulisa inspired make up look 'Let me be'

This is my inspiration:

As you guys know I love the looks that Tulisa sports and this one is no exception. It really suits her brown hair and the colours are awesome. I'm not too sure who the make up artist was but I like the shape he made with the browns. The products I used were Eve Pearl HD foundation in Light all over the face with a MAC 190 brush and Eve Pearl HD concealer in light over my bags and blemishes with a Sigma SS226 brush. This is great for blending in the concealer. To set the foundation and concealer I used MAC mineralized skinfinish natural in light medium with the fabulous ELF powder brush.To get rid of the powdery finish I used a spritz of
MAC fix+ as Tulisa's skin is luminous in this shot.I used MAC espresso eyeshadow on my brows with a  MAC 266 brush and tidied them up with a Cosmopolitan eyebrow brush. I then put brule eyeshadow all over my eye lid up to brow bone with a Sigma SS239 and I then used a MAC 239 for packing on the wedge on my eyelid and a MAC 213 for placing the espresso eyeshadow on the outer 3rd of the lid. I used a clean MAC 217 for blending out the eyeshadows to get a even finish. I then applied Urban decay 24/7 liner in zero to the top lash line and then a MAC 226 for blending it out. I then put on my fave mascara Collection 2000 big fake in black and then used a MAC 168 to apply MAC Pink swoon blush to the cheeks and up to the hairline.To finish I applied lady gaga viva glam lipstick which is a spot on dupe for thr colour in this pic. To add a bit of dimension I put a bit of clear gloss on the center of the lips and voila!

Enjoy!

In and out!

In.....
The start of summer. I'm not sure if it's something to do with the extra vit d  the sun is giving me but I am so much happier with the sunny days and cant wait to get the summer clothes out of hibernation.

Bourjois.In my opinion the best 'high street' make up brand. I am a new fan of Healthy skin foundation and i've used the 1001 lashes and volume clubbing mascaras. They are two of the best I have seen.

The election. Now don't get me wrong I am not a 'politics person' but I do not know who to vote for and I am actually listening to what they have to say and how it will benefit me, my husband and my future (fingers crossed!) children. I am still on the fence but I am listening carefully.
Out....
Dieting.
Turning 30.
Nuff said,do you??

Make up Hell!

 I am about to describe my make up hell. Sit down and take a deep breath make up lovers.......

 My pigments are all pressed and in a Mac pro palette and I was packing my pigments away after filming my Tulisa make up tutorial when the hell happened.The texture of the pigments means that you still have to be uber carefull with them. I tried to be but this happened.....

My favourite pigments on the floor and spilled in the palette. Great! These are the photos of my big rescue operation using a piece of paper to scoop the pigment onto (with the help of a make up brush!) and then tip back into the pan's.

I then put surgical spirit in and press it with a cotton covered 2p coin to press it solid and voila! Pigments back to normal and crisis averted!

I know that all you make up lovers will feel my shock at seeing my favourite 'all girl' pigment on the floor but I can report that they are in the palette where they belong!

Big hugs,
Katie

What's hot and what is not.....

Hot

• Illmasqua liquid metal. This is the perfect base for the on trend metallics and I love the way it glides on the skin, dos not crease and dos not slip off. What more could a gal want eh?
• Pressing pigments. I just adore the little samples from Starsmakeuphaven.com. They are just enough for you to press in a pan that fit's in the mac pro palette. The price of them is so reasonable that I was able to fill my palette for £40! Yay I love that! My favourite pigment by far is Pink Opal.
• Make up by Risa. This gal's youtube channel rules. Her technique is amazing and has a lot of experience to share. Check her out!

Not

• Maybelline Falsies mascara. I am a big fan of maybellines mascara normally (1001 lashes is still my fave!) but this new one is poor! It clumps around the whole lash and the brush is too flexible to coat the lashes properly. I know lots of the beauty bloggers love this but I would certainly not waste £8.00..................
• Not having time for you tube. I did 31 looks in Jan and it burnt me out! Now I want to get back into the swing of things with my new Hd camera but work gets in the way! This weekend tho I promise!

Let me know yours guys-I love to read them!

IMATS 2010

Hey guys!

Today I went to Imats at Ally pally in London. I took Mr Katielovesmakeup and the plan was to see if the following products are available and to catch the Alex Byrne and Eve Pearl masterclasses. I really wanted the beauty so clean disinfectant spray and some make up international magazines but the main thing I wanted to see was the Mac Zuca make up trolley. I have been coveting this for months!! I was looking at getting it shipped in from the US as they were sold out in the Soho store So I was over the moon that they had one! Welcome home my new favourite thing!! Whilst I was at Mac I picked up rose eyeshadow and copper pigment which are lovely. I wandered around and picked up a few other bits (the mags, spray and some crown brushes, aofm book and wedding book) I then went to check out Eve Pearls stand and too my surprise Eve asked if I wanted a makeover . I jumped at the chance and I was with her for 1/2 hr but I missed Alex Byrne :-(. I had the best ever lesson! She is lovely and gave me some amazing pointers that I will use on my clients. I then went to her master class which was great and she made the model look amazing! I also had the pleasure of bumping into Sam and Nic Chapman. They are gorgeous! Top day and can't wait for next year!
