Today's Look... Saturday Night

Hope everyone is enjoyed their weekend. One of the looks I wore this past weekend, for me personally is pretty natural- minus my lips. I love a simple look like this because it is pretty easy to do and can be worn with a natural lip or something a little more bold, like a bright pink, or dark plum purple. It just depends what type of look your looking to pull off. 

This look is also very easy to transition from day to night. You can darken and create a smokier eye by adding a little bit of black liner to your lower lash line. Then add a little bit of black shadow or a shade of shadow darker then what was originally worn on the outer corners of your lid. Apply your darker shadow there, and blend. This should create a darker smokier eye. Also apply a bolder lipstick shade for that pop of colour. Perfect for that Friday night out after work, or those last minute plans on Saturday.

Today’s Look… Shimmering Violets

Simple but super fun, this look is young and flirty. With bright pops of color and light catching shimmer this look is great for almost any out.

Like many “day” looks you can transition this makeup into something a little suited for a night out just by simply adding some darker eye shadow just on the outside corners of your eye. You can also adjust your eyeliner or add lashes for a bolder effect.

Remember you can always tone down your look just by using a more natural lip color or maybe choosing an eyeliner that isn’t as bold.

Today's Look... I kissed a Smurf

Today I was limited with the amount of time I had to do my make up but still wanted to rock something that was bold and colourful.  I decided to do a super simple eye with a bold Blue lip.

Wild lip colours have been on trend for a while now, especially over this past summer. You can pretty much get anyway with any shade of lip colour right now. This trend or look seems to work best when you pair it with a really simple and neutral eye.

I haven't done any darker make up looks on myself in a while and thought it would be nice to wear something different. I decided to do darker then usual eye but still with a bit of color.

Today's Look... Blue Jays

A couple days ago I went down to Toronto to watch the Blue Jays vs. Detroit Tigers, my boyfriends team. We had a lot of fun, and it was a great game, but sadly the Jays lost.

Thinking of the game I wanted to keep my make up light because it was a warmer day, but still wanted to include some blue to represent my team.

In celebration of Pride this past weekend I rocked neon rainbow eyes. I have done several variations of this look. This one being the most simple, and probably my favourite.

Theatre Class Photo Shoots

Two weeks ago I had completed my Theatre course at Complections. We had our photo shoots within the last couple days of the course and got our final prints back on Wednesday.

Doing these photo shoots for school was quite exciting because I got to control the creative direction.

My first photo shoot was based off prints made by artist,  Roy Lichtenstein. My model was meant to look as much like the printed comic as possible. 

My idea was to play on the tears already rolling down her cheeks and really see the sadness in her eyes. She was meant to look like she was almost at a funeral. I also choose to dress her in all black to contrast from her colourful make-up and hair. 

Model: Amanda F

My second photo shoot was created around the idea of doing a shoot in UV black light. I have always loved  black lighting, as well as any glow in the dark art or paint.

I had chosen to do a tiger lady because I wanted to create a image that would be simple but bold and powerful. I also need something that was still bright enough to leap off the page.

Model: Camille H

A lot of work went into these photo shoots on everyone's part. I would like to send out a very special thanks to Amanda & Camille for coming down to Complections and volunteering their time to model for me.
Thank you so very much!!

Current course: Film & Television... blog to come soon. :)

O.C.C Garden Collection (Sping 2012)

I am extremly excited to say that Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics will be releasing a new Lip Tar collection for Spring/Summer 2012.

The collection includes 6 new Lip Tar Colors.
Cholrophyll (True Teal)
Belladonna (Ultra Violet)
Ophelia (Pink-tinged Lavender)
Baby Wood Rose (True Rose Pink)
Kava Kava (True Peach Neutral)
Pennyroyal (Tea Left Brown)

This collection is said to be released in March 2012. (Very soon!!) Lip Tars are priced at $13.50 USD.

I am excited about all the shades, however I will probably get the most use out of Baby Wood Rose, Kava Kava, & Penny Royal. With that said I think mixing Belladonna & Ophelia with other shades of purples & pinks will create some awesome colors.

Hope you have enjoyed your Febuary.

Peace & Luv
