Jeffree Star 'Beauty Killer' tutorial.

Thursday, 28 September 2017

( please note that I filmed this a long while ago but couldn't upload at the time, since filming this I personally think I have improved loads but I thought I may as well upload this anyway. )

Honestly, it's crazy how much what you like can change in a year, when this palette first came out I was shocked that anyone would pay £40 for a palette with so many hard to use shades in, I never in a million years thought I'd ever buy it and even think about using a bright pink shade in my day to day look...but a year later, here I am and I honestly have to say, the bright pink shade is my absolute fav!

I created a short sped up video using the beauty killer palette so this post won't contain a lot of writing but I thought I'd quickly explain the products used,

Nars creamy concealer in the lightest shade, (learnt this trick from makeup artist Plouise) HERE

This glitter I actually got in a set from amazon and it's so good! HERE 
For glitter glue I just used my Eylure lash glue.

For this look I used the Jeffree star 'Beauty killer' palette,
 I started with Courtney in the crease as my transition shade followed by Star Power which I added in small amounts and blended until I had the colour I wanted.
I next went in with violence and vanity to deepen the crease, it doesn't have to be too neat as I then used my nars concealer to cut myself a sharp lid shape. 
After applying the glitter I then went back in with vanity to deepen my crease more. 
I then applied Mac fluidline black gel liner along my lash line and used it to outline the corner of my lid which I then blended out using black rainbow.

This was my first sped up tutorial video so I'm sorry it's not the best lighting or quality but I'm hoping to do a lot more and get better at it! Let me know in the comments which other palettes you'd like to see a look from!


DIY Brush pots / IKEA hack.

 3 XL brush pots for £4? Yes please.


DIY Brush pots / IKEA hack.
  If you didn't know by now, then you need to know that ya girls cheap, I absolutely HATE spending money, so when there's an opportunity to cut corners I will... Which is where today's DIY came from!
All over Pinterest I see beautiful vanity's and white rooms, and if you don't love copper, then are you even a blogger? The problem occurred when I was searching for a nice metallic cup to hold my makeup brushes in, I found loads of choices which would be fine for anyone else, but for someone with a brush problem like mine, none were big enough...so I made my own.

The first thing you need to do is decide where you want spraying, I decided to do one fully sprayed and then 2 to look like they have been dipped in gold.
 I then masking taped the top half of 2 of the pots where I didn't want the spray to go to keep it clean, as well as stuffing the inside of the pots (this step is optional).

I then sprayed, I chose this spray from Wilko's in gold but there were plenty of other options and finishes, some pound shops also stock spray paints but at the time mine had sold out.
 I found 2 light coats worked out better than one heavy coat but either way  dries pretty quickly. I then took the masking tape off when it was half dry to prevent pulling any paint off when fully dry.

And that's it! Fill them with whatever you like, I used brushes but these would be perfect for cotton pads, eyelashes, or things not even related to makeup like pens or screws!
 You could even cut out shapes or patterns to stick on before spraying to add more detail.

and the end result?...

I'm forever DIY'ing so if you like this type of post then let me know, also if you do try this out I would love to see so be sure to show me!
