New fringe, new make-up look!
New bangs! As you may know, I change my hair almost as often as my bed linen, and I've just had a new blunt fringe put in for summer (it sits well with the 'Bans, my dears)
I've got rather small eyes, so I have to ramp up the eye make-up so my little peepers can compete with my new mahoosive fringe. Here's a look I went for when I first had it cut in:
I mainly used the Urban Decay Naked Palette, £36 (such a good investment!) using the deep brown of Darkhorse on the outer edge of the eye, the golden shade of Halfbaked across the lid, with the smouldering black of Creep for extra depth along the lash line and outer edge. I used MAC Cosmetics shadow in Nylon around the tear duct area as a highlight.
Want to see a particular make-up look? Tweet @poutoutproud and let me know, I'd love to hear your suggestions xxx

Clarins New! Rouge Eclat in True Aubergine: Get the Look!
Clarins have released a brand new lipstick range for Spring 2013! The rather glamourous-looking Rouge Eclat is an 'age-defying' lipstick, which claims to protect lips against dehydration with intense, long-lasting colour...
Firstly, this lipstick has gorgeous packaging. A pure handbag delight. It also glided on lovely, and although I usually stay away from the deeper shades - I LOVED the colour of True Aubergine. Slightly sheer with a hint of shimmer, this tone added a subtle fullness to my lips (which, quite frankly, are a bit measly. Thanks for that mother nature.) The bold sexiness of this shade is simply a must-have.
I applied an initial coat of the Rouge Eclat, blotted, then reapplied. Here's a close up of the final effect:

This shade is brilliant if you've got green eyes like me, I found it really made them pop. My lips definitely felt nicely hydrated and soft after application, and the colour lasted well without bleeding.
Rock the Look
This gorgeous aubergine shade is great for a vampy, stand-out look. I used a warming blush (not too heavy on the pink) to compliment the purple base of the lip wear, and added a subtle smoke to my eyelids for balance. No one likes to be bottom heavy, do they now? I grunged up the look by adding a few spritzes of TIGI Salt Spray to my locks, wearing a loose vest-tee to complete the look.

Bye Bye Blemish: Benefit Erase Paste Brightening Concealer
Christmas parties, mulled wine, late night shopping... I, for one, LOVE the fabulous festivities. However, upon examining my face in that oh-so-telling bathroom mirror (you know the one I'm talking about, the one that you avoid at all costs when you have a horrendous hangover) I've come to realise that all this festive cheer has left me looking, well, a touch haggard. Dark circles have set up shop for the long haul, alongside little bags and tired eyes.
There is a saviour out there, ladies and gentlemen! Banish those imperfections with Benefit Erase Paste Brightening Concealer. It eradicates those pesky booze-induced blemishes in an instant, keeps unsightly dark shadows at bay, and generally helps to create the illusion of constant perfection. Hurrahs! Mulled wine for everybody!
This little pot may be a bit of a splurge, but a little goes a long way. The paste is really concentrated and quite thick, so it stays put all day long. Use a concealer brush to apply before foundation.

Benefit Hervana Good Karma Face Powder
This multi-tonal blush has just the right balance between soft pinks and warm, shimmering coral. The Lucky Shell shade adds a pearly glow, while the Divine Peach has a great golden shimmer which adds a healthy warmth to your skin. The pinker shades, Heavenly Rose and Berry Delight, are feminine and flattering on the apples of your cheeks.
I like to use the palette combination together on initial application (with a good blush brush) and then use the Lucky Shell as a highlight.
The great thing about Benefit's Face Powders is how long they last. They're really compact, so although you don't get tons for your money they do go the distance. I had my last box for about 12 months! Well worth spending those extra pennies in my opinion.

Be Spooktacular this Halloween
Last minute Halloween party with no outfit? DISASTER, non? Fear not and think fast, as you have the essential tool kit right in front of your eyes. Behold the potential of the humble make-up bag:
In five minutes you can create this 'drop dead' gorgeous effect, for free, without using harsh face paints which can dry out the skin.
My Frankenstein tool-bag consisted of:
Red lippy (cheaper the better, don't be using your Chanel Rouge Allure on this look!) I used Rimmel's Lasting Finish, in Alarm 170, £4.99, available from Boots.
Red Gloss (for that oozy blood effect) I used Maybelline's Superstay Tint Gloss in Lasting Pink, £6.99, available from Boots.
Black, blue, green and purple eyeshadows (again, the cheaper the better) I used a mixture of brands, ranging from Rimmel's Colour Rush Mono Eyeshadow in blue and green, £3.99, from Boots, to a highly pigmented pink MAC Eyeshadow in Tease to Ease, £16.50, available from MAC Cosmetics. Of course it all depends on what you have handy in your bag - but rusty browns and greens are great for creating an authentic-looking head wound. Joy!
My top tips for getting ghoulish:
1. Apply your usual base make-up. This will help to prevent the additional effect make-up from absorbing/shifting on your skin.
2. Start with the shadows. Blend black shadow into the sockets of your eyes, hollows of your cheeks and temple area. This will instantly give you a skullish appearance. Spoooky!
3. Blend in blues and pinks to the black shadow around your eyes, making the skin appear bruised and zombiefied.
4. Take a bronze shadow and apply to where you will be creating a head wound. Apply red lipstick in a wound shape, then add more bronze shadow to create a dirty, bloody wound. I use eyeliner to create contours in the wound, i.e. make it look deeper, by outlining one edge and smudging slightly. Add a few dabs of gloss over the top for a really sticky, bloody effect.
5. Add comical stitches as your heart desires using black eyeliner. Great fun.
Muwahahaha! Who said Halloween needn't be glamourous?
