On the 11th Day...

Laura Mercier's holiday set of mini kohl liners is the perfect stocking stuffer for any girl that loves to play up her eyes. The set includes 5 gorgeous liners that will contrast with every eye colour (Brown Copper, Antique Jade, Black Turquoise, Black Violet and Purple Sapphire).

Laura's Kohl liner's are a staple in my kit. They glide on your eyes so smoothly and are an easy way to create a smokey eye as they can be smudged and blended out to create the perfect definition. The pencil will stay on all day and is great under the lash and water line. Pair these with your favourite eyeshadow or wear them on their own.

Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Beauty Breakdown

Hope you all got to watch the amazingness that was the Victoria's Secret fashion show last night. Master Makeup Artist Tom Pecheux, and celebrity Hair Stylist Orlando Pita gave us classic VS Angels. This year their themes were ballet, superheros, passion (my fav!), underwater, and "club" PINK. We have broken down the makeup and hair styles to help bring out your inner Angel.

The makeup was a little more subdued but classic. All your going to need is a sheer coverage foundation, bronzer to contour those cheekbones, and a pale pink blush. the eyes make the whole look, so whip out your dark liquid or gel liner and apply a thick line on the lashline. Use a gold loose eyeshadow all over the lid up to the eyebrows, and LOTS of mascara. No liner needed for that VS pout. Just apply a nude pink and a little pink gloss!

The hair seen on the Angels was a lot of loose tousled curls. Such a simple style to do. Start with a few spritz's of dry shampoo to add volume. Use a large barrel curling iron ( 1'' - 1 1/4 ''). Divide you hair into four sections. Start the curls from the back. Use the iron in a verticle direction from your face and curl hair outwards to create a really natural and flowy look. Once all the sections are completed tilt your head back a bit and break the curls up with your fingers. Finish off with a finishing spray for extra hold.
