Red Lips and Thick Eyeliner



Ever since I discovered my love for eyeliner I have worn it thick, very thick, to the point where my mum calls me Amy Whinehouse. I think it looks better on my face shape and if I try and battle with it being thick I always lose, so it will have to stay like that. :-)


My favourite eyeliner to create this look is Bourjois Liner Pinceau 16hour Liquid Eyeliner I like this because the brush is soft and it is gentle on your eyes. The formula is quite a runny one, and a lot of people won't like this but.. I do. This means that you are able to do your eyeliner in one swipe and most of the time I'm rushing around getting ready for college and I just don't have the time, and really can't be bothered faffing around with eyeliner. It also lasts a long time, I'm not sure how long I had mine but it was quite a while and I used it everyday and it didn't dry out at all. (Photo of all products mentioned afterwards)

I used to always wear nude or pale pink colours on my lips until recently, when my mum told me to try some of her dark red lipstick on. This was a huge turning point for me because - being ginger - I think it suited me and ever since that day, I have worn what some would call *dramatic* lipstick. Two lipsticks which I would recommend so so much are:

1. Rimmel - Kate Moss Lasting Finish Lipstick
They are priced at £5.49 each and you can purchase them in boots. Although the range is limited as it only has 8 shades, the formula for this is absolutely amazing! It's really pigmented and isn't drying and it lasts a fair amount of time. It is actually perfect for me. Love love love it!
My favourite shade was - when I wasn't so confident about a BRIGHT red lip - No.8 this colour is like a browny red and it's a very good lipstick for an every day look in my opinion.

2. MUA Lipstick - Shade 13
This lipstick, which is priced £1 (I know - WOW) is lovely! It is very pigmented and a really good type of red, if that makes any sense. Because you can get some bright red lipsticks which are a bit .. excuse my vocabulary.. yack. :-)

This photo isn't really picking up on how bright they are. The one on the left is the MUA one which is so much more brighter, the right is the Kate Moss one which is a lot more red really.


I have no idea why the Kate Moss lipstick looks so different on that photo. Nevermind :-)

At this time I have two followers on this blog, and I feel like I'm talking to myself and it feels very strange. But if you are reading this, thank you for your time!  Would you recommend any red lipsticks? x x x
