My First Make-Up Attempt!

-
 
Hey guys x
 
If you know a lot about me (which a lot of you do by now!) then you'll know that I don't wear make-up.
 
However, for my birthday, I got the set above so that I could play around with it and see what I liked.
 
But because I'm in college in weekdays, I don't really want to experiment before school, and I don't really want to go out with my face looking like an experiment!
 
However, as I've been watching more make-up tutorials on YouTube, I thought that I would give it a try!
 
However, I didn't want to go anywhere where a lot of people would see me, but I did want to go out.
 
So I found the perfect opportunity: A driving lesson!
 
As I would be in the car, no one outside would be able to see me if I completely messed my face up, and my instructor doesn't care how I look either way, so I decided this would be the best option.
 
So this morning, I got this make-up down and played around with it.
 
There is only eye-shadow, mascara, eye-liner and blusher in this pack, so this is what I had to work with!
 
I started with my eyebrows:

 
I used the eyeliner pencil from the box because there was nothing there for my eyebrows. I literally just drew the outline of how I wanted them to look and then filled them in. I was really pleased with how they turned out, and I liked the darker colour that was given. Because my eyebrows (and hair) are a really dark brown, so they look black, but the black pencil really made them stand out!

The I worked on my eyes, first with mascara:




I used the mascara that came in the pack. I've messed around with mascara a few times, and I don't think I did a particularly good job this time, but as I wear glasses, I didn't think it would be noticeable!

Then I did eye-shadow:



I started off by doing the base with the grey colour above. I was going to do black, but I thought  that it would be a bit too dark. So then, I used the glitters purple and blended them together to achieve the look that I have above.


I also used this blusher, but I didn't see a point in taking a picture of it. You could only see it really close up, from a distance, it just made my skin look lighter, but I liked the effect.

And finally, for my lips, I just used the pink Vaseline that you can buy, but I don't have a picture because I forgot to take one! I love it because it makes my lips look shiny and moist, while giving them a pink twinge!

Anyway, this was my first attempt. I'll probably do many more in the future! Feel free to give me tips in the comments, I need as many as I can get!

Thank you for reading

    I first tried makeup when I was 11, I was awful at first I admit. But I learnt in time- and for a first attempt that is pretty impressive. Despite what you learn off YouTube, as you wear it more and more you will learn different techniques to suit you and how you like your makeup. Good luck and enjoy your makeup journey!x

Venom: The Last Dance | Film Review

While on the run, Eddie Brock and Venom (Tom Hardy) are pursued by a dangerous military organisation. But when aliens from Venom's home world come to Earth, the pair have to make a devastating decision that will change their lives forever. I watched the first Venom movie when it came out years ago, didn't really like it that much, and subsequently didn't watch the second. But totally randomly last week I decided to re-watch the first movie, and ended up liking it enough to also watch the second. And as soon as I finished that, I went to the cinema to see this new one. I really liked this film - it was so much better than I thought it was going to be! My favourite thing about this franchise is the relationship between Eddie and Venom, and for me this film was the best version of the characters together. Because, while the comedic moments between the pair are still there, there's a lot more heart in this story than there has been previously, and this is especially evident

Smile 2 | Film Review

After a harrowing accident, popstar Skye Riley (Naomi Scott) is putting her life back together and embarking on a world tour. But after witnessing a suicide, she begins to experience strange occurrences - the strangest of which is a smile that seems to follow her wherever she goes...  Having absolutely loved the first film, I was so excited to see where this next one would take the storyline, and it seemed really promising! But my high expectations were probably why I ended up being so disappointed with the final result. I know that this is definitely an unpopular opinion, but I didn't really like this sequel. However, I did like how it began. It directly connects itself to the first film in a really interesting way, and that was fun to watch. Then it kind of went downhill. For me personally, I didn't love the character of Skye Riley. I didn't really feel connected to her, and it never felt like the film allowed me to get to know her that well. So as much as the events are

Book Review #138: Kill For Me, Kill For You by Steve Cavanagh

  After meeting by chance one evening, Amanda and Wendy realise they have something in common - they are both experiencing grief and want to make the men who destroyed their families pay. Knowing they can never exact the revenge they crave, they come up with an idea: if you kill for me, I'll kill for you... The premise of the book is deliberately vague, but I think the main idea of it is enough to give you a flavour of what the story is about. I have mixed feelings about this book. There's so many things about it that I really loved, but there are also a few things that I could have done without. To start off, the first two chapters are absolutely riveting. I feel like it took no time at all to bond and connect with the characters. Not only are the chapters exciting, but they're also really visceral. You feel like you're living in the scenes with the characters. It would have been amazing if the whole book had stayed like this. The story is told from two points of view,

Lagaan | 100 Movies Bucket List

Of all the movies I watched for the bucket list, this one was without a doubt the hardest to track down. Thankfully I managed to find it but it was looking impossible for a while! I ended up watching a version that didn't include the musical numbers, so I had to listen to the soundtrack separately, which felt really weird. But at the same time, I don't feel like anything was missing from the story by not having the songs in it. I'd never heard of the film before, but an almost 4-hour long movie about cricket wasn't exactly enticing. Thankfully the film is a lot more interesting than it sounds! There's a lot of underlying themes, and even when the scenes are about cricket, the game isn't really the most important thing. It was really fun spending time with these characters and seeing them interact. The one thing I didn't expect from this film was for it to be so uplifting. Even though it's not entirely sunshine and rainbows, you fall into step with this g

City of God | 100 Movies Bucket List

At this point in the bucket list we start getting to the films that are a bit harder to find. I had never heard of this film before seeing it on the list, and I didn't look it up before watching it (beyond searching for a platform to watch it on), so I had no idea what it was about. Sometimes when I'm watching the bucket list movies I write a couple of little notes to remind myself how I felt about it, as I don't give them full reviews. For this one, the only thing I wrote was 'harrowing' and I think that describes it well. The film doesn't shy away from anything troubling or uncomfortable, and it doesn't try to sugar-coat what the characters are going through, or what their lives were like. Apparently it's loosely based on true events and that feels really evident. Because of that, these characters feel extremely authentic. Whether you're familiar with their lives or not, you empathise and sympathise with them because it feels like you're watchi
