One Bridesmaids Makeup

My sister was in Sydney to be a bridesmaid for one of her friends, last weekend. We don’t get to see her much, so I agreed to do her makeup for the wedding.

That saturday proved to be a busy one, but I squeezed her in. And I only did the makeup. It was just a simple smokey-ish eye with a little pink and natural /pink lips. (please excuse the kitchen, food, people in the background. There were heaps of people and we barely had space to move) They wore black dresses so and had pink flowers, so anything goes!

This is some of the products used.

• Mac Select Tint spf15
• Maybelline Falsies (read about it here)
• Maybelline Gel Liner (read about it here)
• Mac Barbie blush (palet and individual)
• Clinique All About Lips (to keep lips all nice and your colour on)
• Dior Illuminator
• Dior Lash Maximiser (put it on before mascara)
• Estee Lauder lip liner
• Eyeshadow, mostly grey. Not sure what brand.
• Artist Brushes (love them, read about it here)

Vintage Red Lips

Red lips are quite the fashion at the moment, it is a trend that we at The Makeup Case, have certainly embraced. So when I found these great vintage ads I had to share them with you. What a better way to start a Monday then with some lovely pictures. You can see that red lips are certainly not the new kid on the block, these ads date back to 1940’s!

1940’s

 1950’s

1960’s

1980’s

1990’s

Going by all these beautiful advertisements it looks like red is a colour that’s going to be on our lips for years to come. We at The Makeup Case don’t think that is a bad thing at all, in fact we think it’s fantastic! Red lips are by far one of our most favorite thing (sorry Oprah for borrowing your line, please don’t sue us!).
