Here's today's look that I created on myself as it's Eid! Eid Mubarak to you all!

 I went for a more dramatic look because of the design of my outfit and with the colours within my outfit being so bright i could get away with something more daring. This look is also perfect for an evening out and is a actually a quick and simple look to complete as only TWO eye-shadow shades have been used! You could also experiment with other dark shades and get the exact same look. This makeup is all about the blending of the main colour that you're working with!  

Here are the Products listed Below:

Base: Studio Sculpt MAC NC30

Concealer (under the eyes ONLY) : Light shade of the New Instant Age Rewind by Maybelline 

Face Powder: Ben Nye Banana Powder - baked under eyes with the same powder 

Eyes: Tartellette Matte Clay Palette shade 'Best Friend' - this was the ONLY shade used on the eyelid and was blended out to create a smokey effect. This shade was also used for my under eye to create a more dramatic look. I then used MAC 'soft and gentle' highlight to highlight my brow bone ONLY.  I used @maybelline Lasting Gel eyeliner in Black as Top Liner

Lashes: REMY Lashes 'WSP' 

I used my usual Mascara which is the Rimmel Colossal Volume Mascara for both my top and bottom lashes

Eyebrows: @anastasiabeverlyhills dipdown in medium brown 

Cheeks: Gingerly @maccosmetics , Soft and Gentle Highlight with a hint of 'nylon' eyeshadow on top 

Lips: NYX Cosmetics Matte Lip Cream in 'London' and Gucci liplaquer 040

Contour: Gina Badhen Medium Contour Palette

Laced up.

Summers IT shoe has to be non other than "Ghillies", or lace ups, as we know them. Originating from the dance form of ballet, these shoes are usually worn by Irish, Scottish and highland dancers. However, Now that this trend has taken over the high street, there are many versions of lace ups available. From flats and sandals to heels and boots, lace up shoes are everywhere. This summer (well the one week we got of sunshine) has really seen lace up shoes become the number one choice.

Personally, any shoes with character speak out to me (yes, they can talk). That's why I feel plain flats are too basic so naturally I go for heeled shoes. However, lace ups have made it fun for me to wear flats again. They add character and a stylish touch to any outfit as well as maintaining the comfort factor.

Lace ups can be worn with anything from skirts, jeans, dresses, shorts and culottes to simple holiday outfits. Whether you buy lace up flats, lace up heels, lace up boots or lace up gladiators; be sure to have at least one pair of lace ups in your wardrobe for this summer. Or actually, even for the upcoming seasons because they'll be staying for a while. So Make sure you're laced up!!!!
