Makeup Tutorial: Katy Perry Dark Horse

After seeing Katy Perry's new music video for Dark Horse, I really wanted to try out one of her makeup looks so I thought I'd do a little tutorial for you guys on how I did it on myself.

To begin with I applied foundation all over my face and concealer under my eyes and on any blemishes. Then I applied some transparent powder all over my face to set the foundation.

Apply gold eyeshadow to the inner eyelid and under the eye.

Apply bright turquoise eyeshadow to the whole lid.

Apply dark blue eyeshadow in the crease of your eye.

It looks a bit weird at the moment but it does all come together.

Apply black eyeliner around the eye in the desired shape.

Apply mascara on top and bottom lashes and then false lashes on the top.

Then I applied a peach blusher to my cheeks.

In the video Katy Perry wears this eye makeup with two different lipsticks so I tried out both. First up is the nude lipstick.

Then the pinky lipstick. I also realised I'd forgotten to fill in my brows so I done them at this point.

Personally I prefer the nude lipstick as it keeps the focus on the eyes.

Here's some close ups of the eye makeup.

Katy Perry's eyeshadow is also a bit more glittery but I don't have any proper glitter eyeshadows so I decided to put a bit of glittery lipgloss over the top of the eyeshadow to see how that would look.

Makeup: Date Night

Tonight I'm going on a date to the cinema to watch Robocop. This is only my second date with this guy so I'm still not really sure how I feel. Anyway I thought I'd show you the makeup that I'm going to wear tonight. I've tried to keep it quite simple and not too dark as I don't really want to scare him off.

Valentines Day Makeup

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Today I've done another Valentine's makeup but this one is little less wearable as I wanted to include some hearts in the look.

The hearts were actually quite hard to do, I practised on my hand first but doing them on your face is completely different.

Valentines Week: Jewellery

Today I'm going to show you some Valentines inspired jewellery that I own.

The first I absolutely love even though I've only worn it a few of times. I believe this was a birthday present a couple of years ago. It's a lovely silver necklace from Guess with a red heart and a diamond snake wrapped around it. I saw this on their website and just had to have it.

The next 2 pieces are both ankle chains and I think they were both presents. I've worn these a few times but they are more for the summer to wear when your showing your legs and have sandals on.

I don't actually own that much Valentine inspired jewellery so I'm now going to show you some of my mum's.

The first one is a pretty gold heart bracelet from F.HINDS.

The next one is lovely simple gold heart necklace from Beaverbrooks which I also have but in silver. I can't find mine at the moment though. My mum bought it for me for being her bridesmaid at her wedding and I used to wear it all the time.

Next is a Vivienne Westwood bracelet which came with the Naughty Alice fragrance.

Next are some simple silver earrings from H&M.

Lastly is some Gold earrings from Guess.

My mum owns a lot of gold jewellery but the majority of my jewellery is silver as I prefer that.

Also, in a couple of days (15th) it's my 24th birthday. I can't believe I'm nearly half way through my 20's. Tomorrow night I'll be having a Chinese takeaway at my dad's, then on Saturday I'll be getting a giant cookie from Millie's Cookies and going out for an Indian in the evening with my mum. It's going to be a busy few days of eating and I can't wait.
