Brigitte Bardot Inspired

For this look I REALLY needed a jet black eyeshadow, the ones I had were coming out a bit silvery/bluey. So if anyone has any tips for a highly pigmented black/kohl eyeshadow do let me know!

I used two sets of eyelashes (bottom and top) to get that really sultry look. Josie is wearing a shirt from ZARA which gives the photos a 70s feel I think. But originally I wanted to create that Brigitte Bardot look, which is not overdone and a little bit messy. As a perfectionist that was a little tricky!

Lust List:

• Rich black eyeshadow
• Black ink gel eyeliner

I'll let you know what I find! Any tips/ideas just comment below!

Creepy Experiment

This is one of my first attempts at a 'fashion' look. I worked with Kitty to create an 'Ice Queen' look. 

It was much harder than I thought to fade her eyebrows out! She has quite dark eyebrows and a light concealer just wasn't cutting the mustard. So next I tried dabbing the eyebrows with vaseline and patting on a white eyeshadow which worked a bit better but still wasn't giving me the bleached look I wanted. Finally I tried talc, and that seemed to work (if it became a little bit like a paste) so I covered the eyebrows and once they looked white enough I used a 'Too Faced' glitter over the top. 

To create the sparkly lip I covered Kitty's lips in vaseline and pressed her lips into a pile of glitter. I used a Mac eyeshadow to highlight her cheekbones and the bridge of her nose which gives her that eery/skeletal look.

Let me know what you think!
