FOTD: contrasting colours are my favourites

Orange and blue are my favourite set of contrasting colours, so I've been wearing a lot of orange since I dyed my hair.

I'm wearing a t-shirt that I really really love from Qwertee in these photos. 

You can see a less crap photo of it here :D I'm a big Pokémon fan so I was so excited when I saw this t-shirt! It's not available anymore but there's some really great t-shirts that will hopefully be on sale soon, like this Pokémon one and this Hitchhikers Guide one. Check them out! 

Disclaimer: I'm not be paid or anything to promote Qwertee, I just really like their t-shirts.

These MAC liquidlast liners are a bit of a pain to apply and remove but they're perfect for when you need your makeup to last all day and night without having to worry about it smudging. I just wish they'd change the brush on them, it's so hard to get a smooth line with it especially since the liner is so gloopy.

Bit of a FOTD catchup for you today. 

Most of these photos were taken with a flash so they're not fantastic. The sun is finally making an appearance these last few days so I will start taking regular FOTD pic again soon. I just hate taking them with the flash on, I find the flash really unflattering.

Classic cream and a total glitterbomb

I love MAC Liquidlast liners, they seriously don't budge. I like to use Classic Cream to do a really simple eye look when I'm in a hurry and need my makeup to last all day.

This was a super glittery look I wore out a few nights ago. With Pixie Epoxy as a base I can wear all those great Urban Decay glitterbomb eyeshadows like Uzi, Midnight Cowboy and MCRA. I also used my new Barry M glitter liner, which I will review soon. It was dark when I took these pictures so they're not great.

I have an outfit post and a review lined up so hopefully I'll get time to post them tonight.

Halloween

Did everyone have a good Halloween? I had a great one. 

I was working on Friday and Saturday night and I saw some great costumes at work; a digger with a working arm, a bedside dresser complete with socks, an alarm clock and a lamp, lego blocks, an in the box Barbie and a myriad of zombies. 

Thankfully there didn't seem to be as many 'sexy' costumes about this year (you know, 'sexy nurse', 'sexy firewoman', 'sexy chinese takeout' and all that ridiculousness) and there were an awful lot of original, well thought out costumes. 

I went as Space on Saturday to work and as Lady Gaga to go out on Sunday. My Gaga costume was very last minute so it wasn't fantastic (a lot of people thought I was meant to be David Bowie) but it was a fun costume to put togethere. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of my outfits but I got a few of my makeup. 

Space

I wore this with my Black Milk Galaxy leggings, a pair of metallic green Topshop hot pants, silver Dr Martens and an oversized black Topshop jumper with stars and moons. 

Face: 

Kryolan White Aquacolour

MAC Grape Pigment (cheeks)

MAC Hipness Blush

Eyes: 

UDPP

Kryolan Yellow, Gold, Orange, Red, Blue, Turquoise and Purple Aquacolours

MAC Chrome Yellow e/s

Lips: 

Natural Collection Apple Blossom lipstick

This was my original plan of what makeup to do, but I changed it around. You see I wanted to get the yellows and oranges in there to represent the sun, as well as the darker colours for space. Since I had to work I didn't want to do this lip, as I wouldn't have had time for touch ups and it would have looked crap quickly, so I had to incorporate the dark colours into my eye makeup instead. It's a pity because I really liked this lip. 

Yes the orange brows look weird, I was just trying some stuff out really quickly.

Lady Gaga

With this I wore my Black Milk leggings again and the same hotpants. I also wore pink Dr Martens, a printed dress (top? It was kind of inbeween) with sheer sleeves and my leather jacket. 

In my hair I used Claire's Accessories Blond hairspray which I don't reccommend, it was more gold than blonde and there wasn't enough in the can to cover my whole head. I put my hair in a fauxhawk which was surprisingly easy and I might do a tutorial on it and used TIGI Rockaholic hairspray to hold it up.

Did anyone see any good costumes on Halloween?

Yellow and Green & Alice in Wonderland BOS FOTDs

These are two more FOTD's from the last week. The first is more yellow with a turquoise liner. I love the colour of this liner but it takes an age to dry, you need to keep your eyes closed for 5 minutes at least after applying it or else you get a line of green under your eyebrows which is exactly what happened to me here. I tried to fix it but you can still see a green tinge.

I have less than two weeks til my interview for the makeup course I want to do this year so I'm trying to get as much practise in as I can. I still need to decide what makeup to wear into the interview, it's early in the morning is I don't want to go for something too complicated in case I mess it up in my sleep deprived state. I like this second look and it's fairly foolproof but would it be a little too simple to wear to my interview?

FOTD Catchup

I've got a good few to put in here, so I'll just run through them quickly. 

Zombie Makeup! We went to a zombie walk and it was great craic! It was so funny seeing everyone dancing in the club after still in full zombie makeup. It looked really cool when I was pulling it off. 

I used: Liquid Latex, tissue, MAC Paints (Flammable and the black one), red, black and blue Lipstick, red powder eyeshadow, white greasepaint, MAC Electric Eel e/s (for the green skin tinge) and MAC Carbon e/s with MAC Myth lipstick on my lips.

A NOTD, I've forgotten what colour this is and it's bothering me because I really liked it. I'll have to have a hunt around and see if I can figure it out. 

Green and Yellow look.

UD 1999 24/7 liner

MAC Sweet Chestnut e/s

Maybelline The Collossal mascara

I don't really know how I feel about the next look, I felt it was a little over the top so I swapped the lipstick for a nude one before I went out. Maybe it was just because I filled in my eyebrows which I don't normally do, I feel it looks a little too dramatic.

Face makeup is the usual

 MAC Graphito paint

Fyr Sluagh e/s

MAC Shore Leave e/s

Lips

 Weird face time!

This look photographed horrendously, so I wont go into much details. It's basically Grape pigment and Sweet Chestnut over Graphito. It was lovely in person though, I'm annoyed I didn't get decent photos.

And that's all folks! I have a 17 nail swatch and review post coming up soon, I might have it done by today if I have the time.

FOTD

Just a couple of FOTDs from the last week and a NOTD.
