Holly's portfolio shoot

Just some photos from Pride model Holly's portfolio shoot with photographer Haley Renee of See.Sound.Photography, you can find more of her work on Facebook. We started with simple natural makeup and wavy hair, these photos were actually taken at the end of the shoot after i'd added more eye shadow and blush and put her hair into a  top knot.

     

Cinema secrets lip gloss palette #11 All that glosses

Just a quick post of my Cinema Secrets lip gloss swatches. Palette #11 All that glosses has 5 colours Ice (just a clear gloss), Snow white (slightly yellow gloss with white shine), Gold dust (gold gloss), Pixie pink (slightly yellow gloss with a touch of pink depending on how the light hits it) and Iced lilac (slightly yellow gloss with a touch of purple depending on how the light hits it). As with most swatches it can be a bit hard to tell in photos.

You can use them on their own or over lipstick for a nice gloss or even to change the hue of lipsticks. I always keep it in my kit just in case as its in a palette form and doesn't take up much space.

Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat swatches

One of my favourite makeup items are my Yves Saint Laurent  (YSL) Touche Eclat Radiant Touch Highlighting Pens. I have them in #1 which i use for light skin with pink undertones, #2 for light skin with yellow undertones and #3 for tan or darker skin tones. I like to use it under the eyes, cheeks, down the nose, forehead, chin and brow bone, basically anywhere you want to highlight as it has tiny light particles that refract light to create a natural healthy glow.

OCC tint swatches

 Before                                         After

Just some swatches of my Obsessive compulsive cosmetics (OCC) tinted moisturizes. They come in red skin tones,  R0 to R5 and yellow skin tones, Y0 to Y5, I keep the Y1-5's which i transfer into little bottles to condense my kit.

I purchased mine from Makeupandglow, they aren't cheap compared to consumer brand tinted moisturizers but they do last a while as they have more pigment in them so great for people with good skin who don't need a lot of coverage and want a natural no makeup look. Like most pro brand they don't have SPF so apply sunscreen beforehand if going out into the sun.
