DIY Trout Pout

I was super bored today so decided to have some fun doing a mad make up look.  Last Halloween I had used pritt stick for making a special fx scar for my little brother's Joker outfit so thought I'd have some fun using the pritt stick to create other looks.

I have fairly small lips so decided I would make them massive, a la Jodie Marsh.  I did not intend for this look to be wearable, far from it, I was just having fun.  I'm quite impressed with how it turned out though!  I've discovered pritt stick is my new best friend when it comes to fancy dress and special fx looks!

I spread lots of the glue across my lips, careful not to get it in my mouth though and then using the sharp edge of a nail tool, anything would do really, I created a lip outline.  I then smoothed everything out with baby oil and cotton buds, put on foundation as a base then applied a ton of lipstick and gloss and voila, my trout pout is complete!

My normal lips, very small top lip!

Red, red lips!

Majorly colour altered to go with the dramatic lips!

L'Oreal Nude Magique BB Cream

BB creams kind of arrived out of nowhere and I wasn't too sure what it really was, until I read a blog by pixiwoo explaining that it was really just tinted moisturiser rebranded.  For the past few weeks I have stopped using foundation.  I usually use Chanel but wanted to look a bit more fresh faced and found the Chanel to be quite opaque so decided that maybe a BB cream would be for me.

Every brand seems to have their own take on the BB cream so I was a bit bamboozled to which one to try.  I played around with the testers but when I tried the L'Oreal BB cream I was surprised when it came out white with little purple dots in it, when rubbed in though it gave a gorgeous dewy fresh look on my hand so I decided to buy it.

When I applied it to my face I was amazed, my skin looked so healthy and luminous but didn't look like I was wearing any make-up! I absolutely love this BB cream! It feels like I'm just applying moisturiser but it makes me look wide awake and polished.  I love the fact that I can wear make-up without it looking like I've applied loads, I would definitely recommend this product!
