MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS MAKE UP! PRIMADONNA!

HOW TO ACHIEVE :

EYES
Contour your eyes with neautral brownish shades, making the outer edges of your eyes especially dark.
Line your top eyelid with black liquid liner, with a small flick.
Don't forget false lashes!
For the bottom lashes, cut up a pair of fake lashes into 8 sections and stick 4 sections on each eye. They are meant to look dramatic!
Line your bottom water line with white eyeliner to enlarge your eyes further.

LIPS
Line your lips for definition
Use a light bubblegum/baby pink colour for that girly look.
Add a touch of gloss to enhance your lips

BROWS
Marina has only a slight curve, so with your eyebrow pencil darken and define your eyebrows!
Even though Marina has blonde hair(dyed) her eyebrows are deep brown making them stand out and it definitely helps to define her dramatic eye make up.
Make sure when you are defining your brows they fade gradually for towards the middle of your face, whilst keeping the colour darker on the outer edges.

BLUSH
Put a barbie pink blush on the apples of your cheeks, adding to the girly effect.

THE TATTOO! <3
The tattoo is on the left cheek, make sure the heart is very small!

These shoes are so sic, they add height(secretly of course) and they match with nearly EVERYTHING! i cannot stop wearing them! They also come in different colours:)  They are very good quality. I have worn them in the rain and the stables and I've walked about 10 miles in them and they are still almost in tip-top condition! Realy worth the price, which is quite reasonable for these amazing shoes!

Lush Ultrabland - one of my top clear skin secrets...


Ultrabland is my one of my FAVOURITE lush cleanser <3



:D- GOOD PONTS

This product is good for getting of make-up, moisturising skin without making it greasy and is full of natural ingrediants which are fab for your skin. It has an oily/waxy texture and you need to use a flannel to get all the cleanser off your face. Another reason why I love this product is that it is soosososoosooo good for clearing your skin!!!:) I recommend this product for people with oily/combination skin who are prone to breakouts. Within the first dew DAYS of using this product my skin was already clearing up. Very gentle on your skin, so I also recommend it for people with sensitive skin.

:(-NOT SO GOOD POINTS

Although I do really like this cleanser there are one or two down sides. ONE is that if you dont wash it off properly it can get in your hair and make it oily, which is a bit annoying but can be easily rectified my making sure you scrape your hair right back with a bobble and use a headband. TWO is that it can take a few scrubs to get all the cleanser off your face and hands. You need a good flannel and you need to make sure all the product is ALL off before you go to sleep or apply make up.

OVERALL VEIW!
The good points DEFINITELY way out the bad points on this one. For clearer looking skin this is the BEST cleanser to use.

TIP: after I apply my cleanser and wash it off, use a few sprays of Tea Tree Water from lush. This is a fab product that I will do a review on later. This balances your skin and is also great for preventing break outs :)

SILKY SMOOTH LIPS!


don't you hate chapped kips? the CONSTANT licking cracks them MORE! It's really horrible but here are some ways to help out!


  • Use a wet toothbrush and wet it under cool water. Gently, in circular motions rub the toothbrush over your lips. ( i know it seems weird but it works!!) This will rub away all the dead skin:) finish by patting them dry on a towel and applies a moisturising lip balm.

  • Drink plenty of water, it really does make a difference to your skin! As a bonus drinking lots of water is good for the rest of your body too :P

  • Put a lip balm on every day to keep your lips in tip top condition. It's OK too forget sometimes because our lips cant rely on product all the time! 


MY FAVOURITE LIP SCRUB FROM LUSH, NATURAL GOODNESS! 
from Lush...
A blend of exfoliating Fair Trade sugar and moisturizing castor oil, this lip scrub is sure to leave your lips enticingly soft and satisfy your sweet tooth at the same time! For a flawless pout, scrub Bubblegum over your lips (be sure to lick off the excess) and then apply your favorite lip color.




PS. it tastes so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
