Life Update | Where I've Been

My poor blog has been neglected this last while .I haven't forgot about it ! Since turning 21 in March a lot has changed for me .

On my 21st birthday I found out that I got a job working for a well known make up company called Inglot which I was absolutely delighted about  . Not to mention we had work placement for 4 weeks before the store even opened . I was on work placement in Dublin where they trained me and the other girls up on the products & artistry skills . I really enjoined my time in Dublin & learned loads .

I moved to County Westmeath for the job too so I now live in a shared house about a 4 hour drive from where i'm originally from. I am so glad I took the job opportunity as I absolutely love what I do & the people I work with  .

I got into make up cause I loved art in school but for a few years I felt like my creativity wasn't as good but I feel like I'm starting to get more creative again .

I have been trying to find my grounds with everything the last few months but I am starting to settle in and find my feet again . Missing having a proper gym & blog routine.

If there is any particular looks , videos or posts you would like to see , let me know . IM BACKKK !

Thanks to everyone who has supported me since day one .

Brown Cut Crease & Arabic Inspired Liner | Video Tutorial

Hey everyone ! Sorry I haven't been uploading as much recently ,currently moving away from home & got a new job (might do a video or blog post explaining) so once I get back into a routine I'll be uploading consistently again .

Todays video tutorial is an in-depth longer video just focusing on how I created this brown cut crease . Cut creases sometimes can be a little harsh / borderline drag queen if you use loads of colour and glitter etc but this cut crease with browns in my opinion is quite wearable .

Cut Creases are very daunting to do but if you have time to spend on your make up you should definitely give it a go . Wouldn't recommend trying if your in a rush though !

St Patricks Day | Make Up Tutorial

Watch on Youtube : Click Here .

Considering I'm Irish , I kind of had to do a tutorial for St. Patricks day as it is such a big day in
Ireland . Whether you're going to the pub for ' a few casuals' (which lets be honest, never goes to plan) or planning on partying the night away this look is perfect . Its in theme with the day but not over the top .

Lip wise I just wore some lipliner (Penneys Nude Lipliner) & ligloss (Benefit Lipgloss in Hervana ) .

A tip for applying the glitter would be to do it before your foundation just so its easier to remove fall out . If you don't like the look of the orange on the bottom lash line you could use green and it would look just as nice . If your feeling super festive you could draw some shamrocks on your face as well .
