How to choose the best colour's for your skin tone

                                       Hi all, hope your well!
Before I help you find what colours compliment your skin tone, if your not certain on how to find your skin undertone the link will forward to to my previous post so can fine that out but make sure you then stop back here so will have the know how of the best and most flattering colour for you.

Choosing the right colours for your skin tone is so important (especially went searching for your ideal foundation!! Know how hard that is!!). It can make a huge difference for natural, fresh faced enhanced beauty where as wrong colours will pin point more problem areas.
Please remember these are just ideas and tips you don't have to stick to these colours all the time such as eye shadow  I love mixing it up and wearing all different shades just particularly the blush and foundation really does help knowning what could suit your skin tone. 

Warm skin tones colour palette 

Foundation
When choosing the perfect foundation warm skin tone girlie's or guys should opped for a yellow based make up and names that sound warm like: warm beige, honey beige, almond, copper.

Eye shadow, Blush & Lip Stick
When choosing colours for your eyes warm undertones suit earthy shades such as golds, copper, olive, bronze and orange-red. Blush and lips blends of coral, apricot, warm peach, rose, red, orange, nude and bronze. Particularly when choosing a red lip stick an orange base one is ideal for you!!!!

Hair colour
Warms should look for colours with names like: honey, auburn, golden etc. Also for highlights, but best to colour two shades lighter or darker than your natural hair colour.

Cool skin tones colour palette


Foundation
Cool skin flatter foundation that are neutral or pink based (sometime referred to as blue based)  and cool sounding names like: Ivory, rose tinted, bisque.

Eye shadow, Blush & Lip Stick
Choosing your eyes shadows cool peeps flatter shade such as: silver, blue- red, jewel tones, mauves, violet, pinks ect. Blush and Lip stick are similar e.g. Berry shades, plumes, roses, fuchias. Your  favourable red lip stick choose one with a blue base.

Hair colour
Cools should look for colours with names like: ash, beige, brown or black. Also for high lights, but best to colour two shades lighter or darker than your natural hair colour.

How to find your skin undertone

                            Hi peeps,

Something I've struggles for a while to understand and figuring out is my skin's undertone. Choosing certain make up products like foundation and blusher. Its pretty important if you want totally coverage as will blend naturally with your skin tones, who doesn't want that lol!!!
              But actually finding a simple way to this was surprisingly hard online as there are many ways but just really not clear still what category your in!! But good news Ive crack the code and by the end of this post im sure can find out what your skin tone is too.

Before getting started finding your skin's undertone thought it might be helpful knowing what it all means.

Your skin undertones are the colours that are underneath the skin surface and cast a shadow on your shin colour. The next test will help you figure out what tone you are.

Test 1

Make sure your in good light preferably natural light. Turn over your arm and look at your vein. If they seem more green then you have yellow undertones and your skin tone is warm. If they appear more blue then you have blue undertones and your skin tone is cool.

Test 2

Another easy way is to look at the natural colour of your hair and eyes. Most likely if you have green, blue or grey eyes with black, brown or blonde hair you have a cool skin tone. So if you have black, brown or hazel eyes with black, brown, blonde or red hair you have warm skin tones.

  Love to know what skin tone yours turned out to be!! Comment below and tell me :) 

Hope this helps and tomorrow I will post abut what colours, make up and hair colour compliment both warm and cool toned skin so look out for that!             

                                                              

                                                        Love Always MizPinkeliciouS

MAC Blushcreme - Brit Wit

                          Hello Hello Hello :)

So to day I wanted to tell you my thought and feelings on the MAC's Blush creme in Brit Wit.

I bough this blush for the first time few days before Christmas ready for the Christmas and New Year partying hehehe!!

I'd been looking for a good quality cream blush that will stand the test of time!! After trying a few cheaper options I was having trouble just blending them let alone any colour staying in place. I'd thought it was about time to hit MAC counter YAY lol.


 I'd heard a lot about there creme blushes so thought I would test 1 out and I really wasn't disappointed!!!


Brit Wit is a beautiful rosey beige. I think colour is perfect for light to medium skin tones which is great for me as should suit me all year round. The blush is super creamy which helps sooo much when blending it into your skin and letting you achieve the best coverage and colour for you. I think this is why the cheaper products just didnt work for me.

Left- Swatch  ......... Right- Blended

If, by now your not convinced MAC's creme blushes are worth a try this must entice you .......
This blusher will last hour after hour after hour and STILL look dewy and give you that natural flush of colour!!! What more can u want :) I've always worn powder blushes would need to touch up constantly.

MAC's prices are always something you have to think about and recommend trying a few shades before you buy. But with this quality you wont need another blusher again!! I'm converted.

Do you have a favourite creme blush or tried any of the other MAC blush creme colours????

Always love to Know what you think so feel free to comment below!!

China Glaze - For Audrey firework design

                                                               Hey lovies :),

I wanted to share with u a nail design that's PERFECT if you want something a bit special but time just isn't on your side!!! I'm so excited to be using my new China Glaze nail varnish- FOR AUDREY I got for Christmas. I'm sure you know this polish as very popular would say it's China Glazes most famous polish. Here's a close up picture.

It's a beautiful colour which is extremely similar to Tiffany & Co boxes. China Glaze designed this polish with the classic and well loved film Breakfast at Tiffany's staring Audrey Hepburn (whom I love) in mind. It was released as a limited edition shade still widely available online. The polish contains 14ml or 5 fl oz so even though China Glaze aren't the cheapest polish brand to buy you really do get a lot for your money!!It was released as a limited edition shade but still widely available online where I brought too. Make sure you look at a few different sites as you'll be surprised at how varied the prices are!!!   

It's very thick which sometimes isn't the easiest to brush smoothly on to your nails but this polish seems to slide on near perfect. The colour is very pigmented so really 1 coat all you will need and amazingly doesn't take long to dry which is a huge plus in my books. 

                             

To create this sort of firework print I Used  my Konad set and my new Bundle Monster image plate BM02 which Im extremely extremely excited to use, thanks Santa again hehehe :) I think the dark blue compliments For Audrey beautifully. Using the plates are so super simple and quick why this nail art really won't take you long at all.

 

For that very important dazzle add some gems, I've chosen silver but any colour you choose will be perfect. The gems really make this design just pulls it all together. So easy to add just need a dot of clear nail polish to hold the gem and trust me it wont fall off , what ever you do !!!!!!!!!!! 

Then to finish use a topcoat for shine and to protect your Konad image. With drying time this must of taken me like 10 mins so test it out Im sure you will love it :) 

Love  Always MizPinkeliciouS

Snowflake Nails

                                                Hi guys :)
HAPPY NEW YEAR!! hope you all enjoyed your celebrations, its crazy its 2012 lol!!

I really wanted to share with you the nails I designed and wore over the Christmas period. Really love them and everyone was really impressed with them :) but between you and me they where pretty easy too!! so you can def recreate them. Hope you like them.
                                        xxxx Love Katie xxxx

  Step 1: I painted my nails with a base coat. This is specially important if you are using a dark colour so wont stain your nail underneath.

Step 2: I chose a mid-dark blue,and fully painted each nail.

Step 3: Pour some silver polish on some paper or card. Using a small sponge dab it into the polish then straight to the tip of your nail. The sponge gives you a speckled effect. You want to concentrate mostly on the tip then lightly dab it a few times up the nail  to spread out the silver specks.

Step 4: Using a white nail art brush or pen you want to draw a cross like this X in the middle of your nail the a line straight down the middle. Will look like a star.

Step 5: At the end of each line flick out two tiny lines, bit like an arrow. You have the perfect snow flack :)

Add a good top coat for protection and shine.

And your finish!!                             Beautiful winter wonderland nails xxx
