Carnival Make Over Part 1

Carnival is the time to bring out those bright bold colours, all the gems and feathers you can find and TONS of glitter, and the best thing about it is... there are no rules to follow!!! you could do wild and crazy things with your makeup, and the more colours the better.

This year I did makeup looks for my two gorgeous friends this year. This is Ruth

She opted to keep her makeup simple with added gems on her temples.
How do you think she looks?

Two Toned Lips

From glitter to awesome bursts of colour, two toned lips should look great for this carnival season. It's quick and easy to do, and of course you can switch up the colours to suite your own costume. Take a look of the two toned lips that I created.

How to:

1. Line your lips and apply your chosen lipstick
2. Apply a clear lip gloss
3. Take your ring finger and apply an eyeshadow or loose pigment gently to the middle of your lips
4. For extra longevity on carnival day, spritz your lips with ELF Lock and Seal which is available here at Significant Details in the Pulse Complex.

Until my next post...see ya later!!

Glitterati Nails

This quick and easy nail design was done using Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear in Pacific Blue and also Sally Girl loose glitter in Midnight Blue. Now if you're not good at nail designing, this is quick, easy and fool proof; just apply two coats of your nail polish and while the polish is still wet shake the glitter over top and leave to dry. Follow up with your favourite top coat and voila... you're done!!

This nail design is great for the upcoming carnival revelry; you can even change the colours if  you like, just make sure you use a coordinating glitter that has a fine texture in order to achieve that bedazzled effect.

Have a great day everyone!!

Glitterati Lips

Hey friends!! Glitter is great for carnival and you can wear it practically anywhere on your body... including on the lips. Here's a quick and easy 'how to' when trying to achieve Glitterati Lips.

Here's what I used:

Wet 'n' Wild Idol Eyes in Distress (this is actually an eye shadow pencil)
Sleek Pout Paint in Peek-a-Bloo
Milani 3D Glitzy Glamour Gloss in Movie Star
Sally Girl Glitter in Midnight Blue
Lip brush
Concealer brush
Liquid concealer/foundation

Step 1

Make sure to start with a base for your lips, use a coordinating base for whatever lip colour you choose to wear.

Step 2

Apply your lip colour using your lip brush, making sure to apply it neatly.

Step 3

Carefully using the same lip brush, apply a coordinating gloss, if you don't have a matching lip gloss use a clear one, it will work just as well. This is very important as it's the gloss that adheres the glitter to the lips.

Step 4

Now pour the loose glitter onto a clean surface and use your ring finger to gently pick up the glitter and press it into the lips. You might need to wipe off your finger when applying the glitter if it gets too sticky. Just keep applying until you're satisfied with the result.

Step 5

Clean up the edges of your lips with a liquid concealer or your foundation with a concealer brush.

End Result

Now here are a few other glitter lip colours that I tried, have a look....

These glittery lips will surely add some pizzaz to your carnival makeup look, try 'em out!!
Have fun on the road friends!
