MOTD

Yes this is me, attractive i know. Jokes, it's not great and i had a little help. I was just playing around with makeup for one of my tutorials - i have a youtube , my name is ifonlyicouldsing1 - anyhoo. This is what i got. This picture was taken by me before i was going to bed i think having walked around all day with it on :/  To learn how to do it, check out this vid:

2011 spring/summer nail colours!

Trend number one , Red's and nudes.
Just like the makeup this summer/spring, natural is in. Match this hot make-up trend with some equally hot mannicures and you will be equally on trend.

Trend number 2, Grey.

Its bye to black and hello to grey. Not just grey, silver , metallic, navy and other dark variations of black are super hot. Its not just in nails, it's allso a super hot trend for make-up as is amtching this colour to your clothes. As you can see below these designers have done jsut that and the overall effect is bold. They have used a grey nail varnish with blue undertones to give a polished, dramatic finish.

Trend number 3, pinks, reds and matching nail varnish to lipgloss.

Choosing a complimentary shade when matching the two are very important. The overall effect can be very sleek, co-ordinated and effective. Remember they can act as your accesories too. It has to be femminine and glossy, like in the below photo.

Trend number 4, Bright electric colours contrasting with lip colour.

This si allso a trend in clothing called colour blocking. It ahs been all over the runway in both forms and involves picking really vibrant clashing colours and pairing them together.

The o'natural beauty look

This o'natural look was featured in the Greena constantine show. It was inspired by winter, you know what im talking about-red faces, flushed, excited. Its supposed to be natural. Later on in the post i will show you how to get this look. By show i mean tell. The products used are mac and i got the information from the site below.Photography by : Jenna Marie Wakani
and picture from http://www.fashionmagazine.com/ so all rights reserved. Check out the webiste its a good one.
I think it gives a pure appearance to the face, delciate beauty.
Eyes
Although this model is wearing quite a reddy eyeshadow do not be worried about "not being able to pull it off" red eye shadow is extremley hard. Rather than going for a solid red go for a close alternative like rust, dark orange or a neutral pastel. It will give the same effect xxx This particular model is wearing:

• M.A.C eye shadow in "coral"
• M.A.C eye shadow in "orange"
• M.A.C eye shadow "sushi flower"
• M.A.C mineralize skin.

Lashes are left bare to again give it that soft, "fleshy", natural look.

Hair
The hair has been tyed into a low pigtail to give a "bob" appearance from the front. It is tucked under and then a scarf has been wrapped around to make it look like the models are wearing lots of layers. Really capturing the winter essence of bundling up and getting cosy.

Nails

• Filed into a soft almond shape
• Black nail varnish
• Top coat of see-through nail varnish

The black has been blended so that it fades up the nail. It starts as a dark black at the cuticles and then turns to see-through/soft white at the tip of the nail. This was intended to give the nail " a flowy look" to match the outfits.
