I love playing around with make-up, so absolutely jumped at the chance to be a beauty model yesterday for my friend
Al Pillay, the
Empress of Slap. As well as swooning over the contents of Al's make-up kit, it is always interesting to see the techniques which other people use when applying cosmetics.
I was treated to a
drama filled, classic smoky eye and fell in love with the copper brown shade from
Bare Minerals. The colours used were not ones which I'd normally be drawn to, but this is definitely a look which I'd wear in the cooler months of the year.
I barely recognised myself when it was finished, and loved how the colours brought out the blue in my eyes! It was a bit of a shock when I looked in the mirror, but it was certainly a good one. If only I could look like this every day!
Al has a fantastic range of tutorials on YouTube which are a mix of
beauty tips and cabaret excess, and if you want inspiration or a giggle, you can find them here.
Until next time,
Diana xx
