VIVO cosmetics

VIVO cosmetics were at TOWIB, they are a brand new range of cosmetics that are exclusive to Tesco. Not only did we get a demo from VIVO cosmetics with the very lovely make up artist Karla Powell, she showed us three looks, but at the end we got to chose which look we would like to recreate and then got a goodie bag with the products to do just that!

I chose the Twilight look, which is slightly more dramatic (could be a good one for Halloween!)

Twilight face chart

Black Sparkle and Purple Passion

Highlighting Cream (amazing to mix with your foundation)

Very Berry Lip Stick

Feather Boa False Lashes

So as if getting a goodie bag full of amazing products wasn't enough, VIVO set a competition for us all to recreate our chosen looks! There will be one winner for each look and when the finalists are chosen their picture will be put on the VIVO Facebook page, and it will be judged on the most 'likes' they get.

Here is my entry picture

I love this look, its really wearable (well maybe minus the lashes!) and its a great way to get colour into your look with out going too far out of your comfort zone!

To see how I got this look take a peek at my tutorial video....

So fingers crossed my picture might get picked! And in the mean time pop down to tesco and try out some of VIVO's amazing products!

Stay Gorgeous

Make Up Monday - Halloween Zombie

This weeks Halloween Make Up Monday is one of my favourite tutorial that I have done this Halloween!

I have made my dad into a Zombie for you all! I think he secretly wanted to be in one of my videos!! For this tutorial I am not really showing you the base as that is fairly easy, I am showing you how to get an infected looking zombie skin! I know it sounds disgusting but it is super effective and is an easy way to scare everyone at any Halloween parties you go to!

To get this look is used black and white aqua colours (face paints will do) to give the skin a grey look and then used grey, black and red eye shadows to create the contouring and shadowing, you could go slightly whiter on the base than I have and still look realistic.
Now to get the infected skin part you need some gelatin granules, mix it with a small amount of hot water and mix until its a thick paste, you can then apply it to the face. The other things you will need to complete this look is either grease paints (if you have them) or eye shadows in a dark red, black and blue, this will create the bruised look, and then some fake blood, if you have professional special effects blood that's great but if not there is loads about in the shops at the moment so you can use what ever you have.

To see how to finish the look of take a peek at my tutorial video....

(I promise my dad is alive in this video....despite the fact he looks like he might keel over any moment!!)

I hope you like this look, and if you give it a try I would love to see some photos!

Happy Make Up Monday

Stay goulish!
