Beauty On A Budget: Pre-Summer Look Tutorial

Hello again everyone and welcome to the latest Beauty On A Budget make-up tutorial. For this tutorial I am going to be creating a combination of a shiny and well not so shiny make-up tutorial. A kind of a make-up opposites attract look. The transition between the casual look of spring to the glitz and shine of summer.  Hope you all like it.🙂

 

So without further ado let’s get to this …

 

First off here is me before the tutorial:

 

Step 1

 

Using Miss Beauty London Perfect Face Primer and Make Up Gallery Make Up Sponges 24 Pack, cover your face and neck and rub the primer in. The smaller triangle sponges are great for any blending of the primer under your eyes. Using Manhattan Fresher Skin Foundation – Classic Ivory and Make Up Gallery Make Up Sponges 24 Pack, cover your face and neck and rub the foundation in. The smaller triangle sponges are great for any blending of the foundation under your eyes. Using the make-up pad provided, blend in Miss Beauty London powder around the face. Using Make-Up Gallery Hide & Seek Concealer Natural Coverage dot under the eyes, just in the middle of the forehead leading off from the nose area, lightly around the face and on any blemishes. Rub in well with Make Up Gallery Make Up Sponges 24 Pack. Again the little triangle is great for under eyes. To make the nose longer and thinner, draw lines down side of nose on both sides and in the middle of the nose without joining the lines and place a dot on top of the nose. Again blend in well with the little triangle.

 

Step 2

Using the brush above from Make Up Gallery Cosmetic Brushes, highlight your cheeks with the first colour indicated in the top of the Max & More Conceal, Highlight and Contour Cream Palette on the picture shown above by the direction of the brush and use the second colour indicated as blusher in the bottom picture.

 

Step 3

Using the Make Up Gallery Brown 4, cover each eyelid and do a mini wing by drawing upwards from the outside corner of your eye. Cover above eyelids with Miss Beauty London Eye Crayon Soft Creamy Eye Colour 2 Cappuccino. Also use the crayon to brighten up inner corners of eyes and dab under eyes too. Use Essence Kajal Pencil – White under eyes as well. Blend brown and white together. Use the black in Miss Beauty London Eye Brown Kit and with the brush provided use it as an eyeliner and on your eye brows. Using Max & More Mascara With Argan Oil – Black place on the top and bottom of your top lids and the tops of your bottom lids. When coating the under part of your top lids wriggle the brush through for extra volume and length.

 

Step 4

Using Miss Beauty London Eye Crayon Soft Creamy Eye Colour 2 Cappuccino, coat your lips adding extra shine to the middle of the bottom lip.

 

Step 5

Using Make Up Gallery Time to Shine Nail colour – Deep Amethyst 28, paint nails.

 

Hope that helps! 🙂

Beauty On A Budget: Christmas Make-Up Look 2 Tutorial

On December 10th, I was out at the Bord Gais Energy Theatre with my sister Sharon at Christmas Queens and in this tutorial I am re-creating my make-up look from the night. All products used are from Dealz, Euro Saver and Euro Giant. There is some similarities between this tutorial and the last tutorial so you get two similar looks but with differences that make a whole new look. The next tutorial will be very different from these two but I thought it was a nice look and I wanted to share how it was done with you all.

So without further ado let’s get to this …

 

First off here is me before the tutorial:

 

Step 1

 

Primer on!

Foundation on!

Concealer on!

Using Miss Beauty London Perfect Face Primer and Make Up Gallery Make Up Sponges 24 Pack, cover your face and neck and rub the primer in. The smaller triangle sponges are great for any blending of the primer under your eyes. Using Manhattan Fresher Skin Foundation – Classic Ivory and Make Up Gallery Make Up Sponges 24 Pack, cover your face and neck and rub the foundation in. The smaller triangle sponges are great for any blending of the foundation under your eyes. Using Max & More Make-Up Concealer Liquid – Medium dot under the eyes, just in the middle of the forehead leading off from the nose area, lightly around the face and on any blemishes. Rub in well with Make Up Gallery Make Up Sponges 24 Pack. Again the little triangle is great for under eyes.

 

Step 2

 

Using the smaller brush from Make Up Gallery Cosmetic Brushes shown above, place the gold shade (3 shades in on the right in the above photograph) on your eyelids from Max & More Nude Look Palette and as a highligher blend into the top of your cheeks and put in the corners of your eyes for a little extra shimmer. Using Max & More Mascara With Argan Oil – Black place on the top and bottom of your top lids and the tops of your bottom lids. When coating the under part of your top lids wriggle the brush through for extra volume and length. Using Make Up Gallery Brown 4 Soft Kohl Eyeliner do under your eyes. Using Make Up Gallery eyebrow brush, the bigger one shown above, from Make Up Gallery Cosmetic Brushes, brush your eyebrows with the thin teeth side first and then with the fuzzy side. Using Miss Beauty London Eye Brow Kit, put on the black side of the palette using the brush provided and brush through your eyebrows.

 

 

Step 3

Sadly I couldn’t find out who the company was that created the red lipstick. The shade is called 334 Mercatura and was made in Germany. But there is plenty of inexpensive red lipsticks available and any of them in a similar shade to this one will do the job. Put on the red lipstick generously, applying more to your bottom lip for extra shine. Cover with Miss Beauty London Lipstick Sealer.

 

Step 4

 

Set with Max & More Makeup Setting Spray.

 

Step 5

 

Hope that helps! 🙂

Beauty On A Budget: Casual Gothic Make-Up Tutorial

Hello everyone and welcome along to my very first makeup tutorial on here on Culture Vulture Express. I did do one many years ago on YouTube but I didn’t really keep it up after that. But this section which I’m calling Beauty On A Budget is one I plan to make a regular feature of this blog. The basis premise is that every product used in the tutorials will be cheap and my hope with the tutorials is to show that you don’t need expensive make-up to look great. All the products in this particular tutorial are from Dealz.

Here is me prior to the tutorial:

 

So without further ado, let’s do this:

 

Step 1

Using Manhattan Fresher Skin Foundation – Classic Ivory and Make Up Gallery Make Up Sponges 24 Pack, cover your face and neck and rub the foundation in. The smaller triangle sponges are great for any blending of the foundation under your eyes.

 

Step 2

 

Using Beautiful Bronze Giant Bronzer Dark Sunkissed with a brush from Make Up Gallery Cosmetic Brushes lightly highlight the cheeks and gently around the face. Blend very well.

 

Step 3

Using Max & More Make-Up Concealer Liquid – Medium dot under the eyes, just in the middle of the forehead leading off from the nose area, lightly around the face and on any blemishes. Rub in well with Make Up Gallery Make Up Sponges 24 Pack. Again the little triangle is great for under eyes.

 

 

Step 4

Using Max & More Baked Eyeshadow – Burgundy and a brush from Make Up Gallery Cosmetic Brushes, mix the gold and pink colours together then move further up above the eye and paint on a purple under layer with the purple colour before mixing the gold and pink over the top. With the beige colour, brush under your eyes, not on the waterline, just under your eyes and in the corners of your eyes.

 

Step 5

Mix together the pale pink and the dark beige shades from Simple Pleasures Perfect Pout Lip Gloss Collection for your lips and apply generously.

 

Step 6

Using Make Up Gallery eyebrow brush from Make Up Gallery Cosmetic Brushes, brush your eyebrows with the thin teeth side first and then with the fuzzy side.

 

Step 7

Paint nails with peach cream colour nail varnish from Make Up Gallery Time To Shine collection.

 

Step 8

Set with Max & More Makeup Setting Spray.
