Well I've just uploaded my first video tutorial! Quite a hard process really, talking and applying make up at the same time. This will be included further down in tonight's post. Trying to get The brush is yours...promoted at the moment. I don't plan on going fully ahead with it until around September when I have more products/experience but wanted to just get the ball rolling, so on Sunday I'm having a photo shoot! I have 5 gorgeous models and an amazing stylist, hair stylist and photographer so I am really excited! I think were planning on doing the shoot down brick lane so if anyone's around let me know! Here's my first set of business cards, they need improving and will eventually include the web address when its up and running, but for now I LOVE THEM :)
Since having my 120 palette I have come completely obsessed with trying out new looks, but seeing as i live with all boys, models are hard to come by. However after guilt tripping Ollie he allowed me test out on him, Yey! So here's one of the looks that will be on one of my models for Sunday.
Beautiful Eye! |
So although I love my new palette loads, there's not many glittery colours in there, so when I need them I use my Urban Decay NYC palette. There are some beautiful colours in here and the kit also comes with a primer and 2 eye liners. Heres the set below:

And heres a close up of the colours...

I nearly cried when I opened this Christmas morning! |
When applying eye shadow I think it is absolute key to apply a primer first. Not only does this help the eye shadow stay on longer put also stick better to the eyelid. The Urban Decay primer is really good and the one I always use. It comes as quite a translucent colour so doesn't have any effect on the eye shadow. Sometime however I do use mac prep and prim which has a little colour to it...

This retails at £12 and is available off http://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/product/spp.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CAT27291&PRODUCT_ID=PROD66220
I have been recieveing a lot of comments from people about different bronzers so tonight ill name you my top 3 and in a future blog i will focus on a few more and how to apply them.
So currently I am wearing Mac bronzing powder in the colour Bronze! Its perfect for me, has a beautiful shimmer and gives me a lovely glow. It is for face and body so when using it on my chest i use a bigger fluffy brush. http://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/product/spp.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CAT30626&PRODUCT_ID=PROD66087 Retails at £17.50
Another bronzer which ive always liked is the Rimmel natural bronzer. It has an spf 8 so helps protect against the sun (although for fair skin like mine 8 is no where near high enough) It retails at around £5.
And finally a bronzer I love is Bobbi Brown Bronzing Powder. This is one I'm least familiar with and have only used once of twice but already love it! Its a little expensive and retails at £24 but the gorgeous glow it gives after is definitely worth the money.

Bobbi Brown also do an amazing bronzer called the Bronze shimmer brick which ill go into on the Bronzing blog!
So thats it for now people! Please let me know if you have any requests or comments! And could you all also do me a huge favour and like my facebook page? The link is http://www.facebook.com/pages/Lorna-Land-The-brush-is-yours/206230872728925
