So, just to put it out there I am not Irish but I am sure somewhere down my ancestry path I could be. I am not necessarily religious either but this does not mean I don’t support those that are. I love the colour green and I always have done and seen as it is St.Patrick’s day on Sunday 17th March 2019 in the UK, I thought why not.

I used all my usual make-up products, see previous makeup post/ the link below. I started by mapping out my edge by using a thick tape and then I cut out a smaller shape for the inner corner.r
I also created a halo effect with the light green above the eye and I underneath by dragging it down slightly. I definitely did not want it to be a normal make-up look.
I love how vibrant the green against the contrast of the other colours. I will include all products down below
Showing the shape I created from different angles. Yes, in this picture I did only have one eye done.
So, I don’t particularly do V-day, but I fancied doing an easy, quick makeup look with different lip options and no, none of the options are bright red. I find it really difficult to find the correct red shade for my skin tone because I am so pale, so instead I thought id share my options for a V-day lip. I will also include a few outfit ideas on my social media that are affordable but still make you feel glamours.
Everyone loves a wing liner and I have thought this would be a perfect look for valentines day look. The wing is on the outer 3/4 of the lash line with added brown cut crease and a little bit of glitter added on the top line of the liner. This lip colour is a metallic purple gloss i have shown on my Ig before. It gives a lovely shine and catches the light and portrays different colours.
Here is a Nude option for the lips, something a little more subtle.
Feeling a bit jazzy why not try this vibrant purple, adds a pop of colour and means you can wear black if you wish, which is always my option.
Then here’s a light berry colour that is matte, it is a few shades darker than my actual lip colour but is a great alternative if you don’t wish to wear red lipstick.
When you wake up one morning and feel productive, they are the days that sometimes become the best days, but how many of us have those. I certainly do not all the time. However, upon occasion I surprise myself and…. voila, a makeup look has been born!
So, a mini
story time for you. I used to teach hair and makeup in a college and run my own
freelance bridal makeup business. I guess I have always enjoyed how makeup can transform
a person. On the other hand, due to my skin situation, see my previous post (My
skin hang-up), I don’t always wear it.
Below, is my current
makeup look I have been loving. A little different for a Wednesday post and one
I would wear if I was going out for sure. Taking inspiration from Pat McGrath, I
created the look below.
*Disclaimer. All the products I have used will be linked below. I have also paid for myself for all the products and all photographs belong to the thefrecklewithinme.
I started by applying foundation and brows (see products below). I then moved onto eyes. I applied a dark park (Dye, from the Kristen Leanne Urban Decay palette) on the outer third of the eye, straight down creating a harsh line, winging it out towards the end of my brow) I darkened the top corner of the purple and I took that out towards the end of my brow also.
I then added a lighter purple tone (Spitfire, from the same Urban Decay palette) on the line of the purple that meets the centre of the lid and across the op line of the darker purple. Blending out those edges so they looked smudged.
Then in order to create the halo at the front, I used the colour Lime Time (from the same palette) mixed with Leo and Brixton and I took the colour up towards the front of my brow. In the inner corner I added Recharged (By Urban Decay) for a little sparkle and I lined the green shade with Distortion glitter (Urban Decay)
Lime Time was added under the eye towards the outer corner, then the water line and tight line where lined with a blue, Maybelline pencil (220).
Foundation- Rimmel Lasting Finish in the sade 100 Ivory + Charlotte Tilbury Light wonder in the shade 3 + The Ordinary Serum Foundation in the shade 1.2N light neutral. Prime eye lids- Urban Decay Eyeshadow Potion in Eden Eyeshadow palette’s- Urban Decay (Naked) and Kristen Leanne Face Powder- Collection Sheer Loose Powder in the shade 1 Barely There Contour- Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour kit, I used the shade Fawn and Banana Urban Decay Liquid Moondust Eyeshadow in Recharged Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glittery Eyeliner in Distortion Mascara- E.L.F in Naked Noir EyeLiner- Rimmel Blue 220 + Maybelline, 005 Nude Brows- L’Oreal Brow Artist Plumper in Medium/Dark Finishing Spray- Urban Decay All nighter
