New Hair Colour! From Blonde to Brunette
If you've followed this blog for a while then you may know that I'm a blonde (sometimes not solely in appearance..."Grandma has gone to JAPAN? Oh... she's in Torquay")
Well not any more! I decided it was time for an image overhaul, so after four hours at my favourite hairdressers, I am now officially a brunette with gradual fade to slightly ombré ends. What do you think?
I love a good change, as you can totally change up your make-up palette too. I opted for a darker brow, stronger blush (NARS Orgasm) and a popping pink lip lacquer (Rimmel Apocalips in Stellar) to revamp my usual style.

Planet NARS: Blush in Orgasm
For a gorgeous golden-pink shimmer, I love NARS blush in Orgasm, £21.00, available from NARScosmetics.co.uk. Thanks to the super strong pigment, you only need the tiniest of sweeps for a gorgeous, healthy glow...which means that it lasts for AGES, wahoo!
I'm a big fan of the teensy light-reflecting gold particles in this blush, so eye-catching and beautiful!

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?
