Giving vintage-inspired make-up a go

Hello! This blog has become a bit of a girl fest, hasn't it? Today, I'm going to show you what make up I used when I attempted a vintage-inspired look for the wedding I went to. I must admit to having a dodgy past with make up as I do with clothes. The first time I ever wore make up was 1996. I went to a nightclub to meet a boy wearing only some foundation and a heavy helping of grey eyeshadow. Delightful! It was the smoky eye taken to emo extremes. Anyway, I like to think I've improved my look since I discovered a few extras like blush and mascara. Below the pics is a list of all the products I used. I hope you like!




Ageless Colourfast Smoothing Foundation in Ivory from Woolies (or M&S if you're overseas), Yardley Pressed Powder in Natural Beige, Revlon Pink Blush, Chanel Beiges Velours eyeshadow as a base, Chanel Sparking Satins eyeshadow on top (or a R10 colour palette from random store), black Dipliner from Woolies, Double Extension Mascara from Loreal and a lipliner called Nightmoth by MAC. Both the Chanel palettes were gifts for my 25th birthday and they have lasted two years! Thanks mom! You only need a little and the shadow will last you all day and night. It must be said that I feel completely ridiculous taking these pics of myself but I'm having too much fun playing dress up with ya'll! x
