Simulating Leather Look
Leather is a definitive range of clothing for women and is a timeless piece.
In a modern pop culture world, fabrics simulating leather such as polyurethane or PVC are alternatives used for one that is in pursuit of buying economically or for the need of a vegan lifestyle.
Regardless, the needs of the wearer is the overall ensemble as it develops the character identity you want to show.

NEW VIDEO: How to Contour and Highlight

*Description below from the video info bar

Whether you want your face to look slimmer, or give a more 'sculpted' look, contouring and highlighting is definitely your friend. It's blown up recently, probably because it's flattering on everybody (ahem, and because of the Kardashians).

I'm a 'shortcut' kind of girl and like quick ways of doing things, so I rely on a darker powder to sculpt as opposed to creams or darker foundations which take more time to blend. My tip is to buy a pressed powder about 3 shades darker than your skin tone, instead of bronzers which end up having some shimmer or turn out too orange! In terms of brushes, it can be anything! Don't feel restricted to just angled brushes, any blush or powder brush will be fine.

Highlighting suits night time as it reflects the light so beautifully, and can seen little bit too much for day, but totally rock it with a lighter powder (not as shimmery) for day time if you want!

I hope you enjoy my tutorials! I want to keep it short and simple for the busy ladies out there!

Please let me know what other 'How to' tutorials you'd like to see!

I'm a fan of Maiden

maidenthreads.blogspot.com.au

That is all. 

Ok maybe not. I'm a fan of Maie of Maiden Threads. I've known her since 2008 from mutual friends and have followed her blog from a distance for almost 5 years, admiring her empire slowly grow. Seeing her at her exhibition 'Friends of Maiden' completely blew my mind and I feel she has huge potential to be one of Australia's best designers. She's the kindest, nicest, friendliest girl (she designed my bridesmaids dresses!), with so much style, I just, I mean, look at her trousers! Like her Facebook page, and follow her blog, I feel so blessed to know another creative soul in Maie.

We all love to 'dress and impress'.

Note: I didn't say 'dress to impress' because the fact is that whatever we wear, we end up making an impression! 

And behind the casual skirt we can create an impressive youthful look that is simple and elegant.

Beauty Bookmarks will resume on Wednesdays. Reason being I wasn't so happy with the videos from last week, so I'm giving YouTubers another 3 days to find more bookmarks! 

I'll continue with Beauty Bookmarks on Wednesdays!

P.S Hope you're liking my beauty videos!

New Video: Nude Lips

Nude lips are hard for me, well not hard, just more labour intensive because my lips are a light pink, and putting a nude lipstick by itself makes me look SO washed out.

So I'm showing you my Nude lipstick/gloss collection and my SECRET WEAPON to making the nude lipstick stand out. Ok maybe not so secret... pretty easy actually.

I'm testing drugstore to high end products, all with such great formula and consistency.

Products used: 

+ Make Up For Ever - 3C

+ Revlon Lip Butter - 095 Creme Brulee

+ Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick - Shade 14
