Mini Harley Quinn of Suicide Squad, make up look. 

Leave a reply

This morning is Halloween dress up in school and my daughter wanted to be Harley Quinn from Suicide Squad the super hero cool chic! She hasn’t even seen the movie, she’s only 10 years old. 

I ordered her costume from LITTLEWOODS IRELAND in size Large as Zara-Zöe (Z.Z.) is quite tall for her age. 

The costume arrived and after fitting it on, it’s quite baggy, Z.Z. Is slim build but she loved it anyway. The only accessory she didn’t wear was the mask as she said it would only ruin the look 😍

Make up product list:

I started on the eyes using CATRICE Camouflage concealer (shade 010 porcelain) all over the lid & up to brow.

On the left eye I then patted on the vibrant pink eyeshadow from my SLEEK ACID 570 palette and added the darker Pink into the socket and blended up to the brow bone using BLANK CANVAS E26 brush.

On the right eye I patted on the shimmery blue frosted Eyeshadows from my SLEEK ACID 570 palette and added the darker Blue into the socket and blended up to the brow bone using MAC 217.

I lined the upper and lower lashes with MAC Feline Kohl pencil and smudged the line out with Corruption eyeshadow from my BLANK CANVAS COSMETICS MASTER SERIES ONE PALETTE using brush from MAC #143(pencil brush) 

Pink eyeshadow was blended underneath the left lower lash line & blue underneath the right lower lash line. 

CHANEL VITALUMIERE foundation was applied using BLANK CANVAS COSMETICS F20 brush and to set it I used BOURJOIS POUDRE de RIZ with my ANDIE NIMA BRUSH.

I then contoured Z.Z’s cheekbones, temples,nose and forehead using CHARLOTTE TILBURY FILMSTAR BRONZE & GLOW and my BLANK CANVAS COSMETICS F15 brush. 

I used THE BALM MARY LOU MANIZER highlighter and SLEEK SOLSTICE PALETTE  with my TARA brush from NIMA BRUSH on cheekbones, brow bone, down the nose, on the Cupid’s bow and above brows to highlight and give some shimmer to the look. 

I added some CHARLOTTE TILBURY Cheek to Chic blusher in Love is the drug to Z.Z’s cheeks using my BLAITHIN NIMA BRUSH.

Adding a black heart on the left cheek I used PENNEYS (PRIMARK) PS PRO Longwear graphic liner pen. 

I wanted a deep red lip so I used INGLOT HD LIP TINT MATTE in shade #12 and I then lined the lips with PENNEYS (PRIMARK) PS PRO Longwear graphic liner pen. 

I added some final highlight to Z.Z’s lips using PENNEYS PS… Strobe pencil in pearl to add dimension and accents to the lips. 

I spritzed Z.Z. With MAKE UP REVOLUTION fixing spray. 

Z.Z. Was delighted going off to school and I do love seeing all the children in fancy dress going to school, I can’t wait to see what the teachers are wearing when I pick her up from school today. 


Happy Halloween everyone 👻🎃💋

It’s a very personal choice and one that many women & Brides struggle with. A lot of brides are not lipstick wearing lovers and prefer to wear gloss but for your wedding day it’s best to wear a lipstick as it lasts longer than gloss and you won’t need to reapply it so often.

Here I have just a small selection of lipsticks that have been popular with my brides and they range in colours and textures. 

Inglot Liquid Lipstick in Matte finish:

A creamy consistency which dries to a matte finish leaving lips looking perfect for hours, very little touch up needed and didn’t flake or make lips look dry or cracked when I tested them. 

Inglot Matte liquid lip tint #11 

A gorgeous pink/coral lip colour if you want to have a pop of colour on your lips but it’s not overwhelming. A pretty shade which will enhance your lipshape and give your make up extra definition.



Inglot liquid lip tint matte #12
A pretty pinky/red shade for those more daring brides. Perfect for a vintage look along with simple eye make up and a statement lip. 



The Balm, Ima Goodkisser: 

One of my popular coral/pink lipsticks. It’s moisturising and has lots of pigment so very easy to apply and great for lips which are prone to dryness.



The Balm,Mai Billsbepaid :

The perfect nude for Irish skin tones, pretty shade with moisturising properties and a creamy,satin finish.



Catrice,Luminous Lips,#170:

For the bride who wants more colour and is used to wearing a stronger lip colour. This is like a glaze lip colour so perfect for dry lips but will need to be reapplied more regularly compared to a matte lipstick.

Wet n Wild 912c:

One of my more popular deeper nudes with brides. Adding more depth and because of it’s consistency it will have more staying power. 

Mac, Angel:

A timeless bridal pink lipstick and is still very popular for a pretty yet understated lip for the classic bridal look. Because it is a frost finish it will give a sheen to the lips and also great for dry lips.

Mac, Velvet Teddy:

A cult lipstick associated with Kylie Jenner as this was her staple lipstick before she produced her own line of lipkits. It is a deeper nude lipstick with great staying power and pigment so won’t need as much touch ups compared to a gloss or a frosted finish.

Clinique,Blushing Nude:

A gorgeous classic creamy nude shade with a slight sheen to it for a more natural bride.

Mac,Creme Cup:

A classic nude favourite with Mac lovers gives your lips the nude look without being to orangey or overdone. This is complemented very well with a gloss applied over it. Perfect for someone who chooses a very dramatic eye look.

Mac,Hot Gossip:

A pretty pink which is a cremesheen finish. Lovely on the mother of the bride also. Because it’s a cremesheen it will not be drying on the lips.

Mac,Fabby:

A pinky brown lipstick. Very popular for the bride who wants a pinky/brown lipstick which isn’t too daring or bright. It has a frost finish so not drying on lips but has the appearance of a creamy lipstick.

YSL Rouge Voupté Shine:

A clear moisturising lipstick which treats and cares for your lips when you apply it. Great on its own to add moisture to dry lips or over a matte lipstick or lipliner to add shine and dimension to lips making them appear larger.

Mac,Pure Zen:

A gorgeous soft creamy peach nude lipstick for those who want a soft kissable lip without too much drama. This is a very easy to wear colour and is gorgeous teamed with a brown smoky eye and coral peach blusher.


Charlotte Tilbury, Nude Kate:

A gorgeous nude with orange/peachy undertones. Gorgeous on tanned/swallow skin and beautiful packaging when you pull it out of your bag to top up your lipstick.

Charlotte Tilbury, Matte Revolution,Between the sheets:

This pink/coral is one of my new found favourites for brides who want a pink which is soft enough for their wedding day. It is matte so will last longer than a cream or frost lipstick.

Rimmel, Kate Moss #45:

I’m so happy I found this lipstick it has been a huge hit with my clients who hate lipstick but need a slight colour on their lips. It is a soft pinky brown and so easy to wear. It suits everyone and is even more gorgeous with a pop of gloss on top. 


CATRICE #440,

 A pretty pink which is the perfect choice for brides or anyone who likes a deeper pink. This would be best suited for people with fuller lips and quite a natural eye make up look. It’s a creamy consistency and although it won’t dry out your lips don’t expect it to be long lasting.



The Balm, Meet Matt(e) Hughes, Long Lasting Liquid Lipsticks:

Sincere, A fabulous mix of a nude with a Mauve/pink/brown hue which gives the lips definition without being too dark. Lasts approx 4hrs+ Gorgeous alone or with a dab of gloss in the centre of the lower lip.

Adoring, A deep,rich,luxurious red with wine/burgundy base. Not for the faint hearted. Would suit a darker skin tone perfectly and would be stunning with a nude lined eye make up look. Would best suit larger fuller lips and not for dry flaky lips as it dries to a matte finish. Again you can expect it to stay put and not transfer for at least 4hours.

Chivalrous, A bright Barbie pink. I’ve had a few brides who will opt for a statement lip and this would be just amazing for that look. It really is as bright and beautiful as you see it here. Not for the faint hearted. You need confidence and flawless make up to pull this off. It really is such a beautiful shade for a summer wedding or a girls night out. Will last 4hrs+ but will need to be reapplied after eating/drinking etc. 


And last but not least my budget favourites:

Penneys P.S. Liquid Lipsticks:

PS Liquid Lipstick #15 Nude:

€2.50 available from Penneys and this is very popular it’s mostly always sold out and impossible to get your hands on. It is a very wearable nude lipstick with quite a tacky,sticky finish so will not be drying and if you lose it you won’t be devastated.Ive used this on top of high end lipsticks to make the lipstick three dimensional and to add the illusion of volume to the lips. A must have for everyone.

PS Liquid Lipstick #02 Peach:

I’ve had many a bridesmaid fall in love with this and just in shock that this is from Penneys. It’s such a gorgeous peach and so pretty on the lips. And at only €2.50 it’s amaze value. 

CATRICE, Volumizing Lip Booster:

I stumbled upon this when I was waiting for my prescription and playing with the testers on the CATRICE stand and was drawn to it. I have used it on every make up application since and everyone has loved the smell,taste and slight tingling sensation it gives to plump your lips. It’s quite a subtle pink so it would go over any lipstick,liner or gorgeous on its own for kissable soft glossy lips. available nationwide and only €3.99.

I adore highlighter popped on the high points of the face as part of my make up applications. Some clients love the “see from space” highlighting whilst some go for the “gentle glow look” whatever the desired effect I have accumulated a lot of products to achieve any highlighting look. 


I have my all time favourite Mary Lou-Manizer from The Balm which I got in Make Up For Ever. This is just beautiful and so fine it can be used on mature skin as the particles are so fine it gives the skin a healthy glow without being too glittery and the packaging is so pretty.

MAC Soft N Gentle is my other favourite and has been for quite some time. I love this over eyelids to brighten up a dull eye or applied to inner corner of the eye to open eyes up. Gorgeous on cheekbones, down the nose or on Cupid’s bow to make lips appear fuller & it lasts ages too.(I’ve had this one a year & need to restock).


LULU from the Pippa Palette is just so pretty and applied with fingers will give you a subtle glow or built up with brush will give you a more defined effect.A gorgeous highlighter you can wear anywhere you want to draw attention to.

Glow from CATRICE is a brilliant budget buy and has sold out everywhere, stockists are finding it impossible to keep in stock as most highlighters are in big demand at the moment with everyone wanting to try it out themselves. 


Buff Sheer Glo Movie Star is a liquid highlighter which illuminates skin and when applied under foundation it gives the skin a glow. If applied over foundation the look is more striking and set with a loose powder to keep it in place and last for the day. 


Benefit Highbeam has been a staple in my kit since it was released and I still pull it out from time to time for a subtle look, it helps make dry/dull skin look luminous and glowing. I mix with foundation and apply with a brush.


MAC Shell cream eyeshadow is up there in my cream favourites as it has a gorgeous pinky hue and flattering shimmer. Gorgeous on cheekbones, down the nose and even on your décolletage. 


MAC Pearl cream eyeshadow is a whiter version and best suited to Ivory/paler complexions. Easy to blend and handy for travelling as it’s a cream, so it won’t shatter if you drop it. 


Golden Goddess Shimmering Dry Oil from Cocoa Brown is a gorgeous highlighter for tanned sallow skin types. It can be used anywhere on face or body to accentuate your best features be they your legs, collar bones, slim arms or shoulders. 


Charlotte Tilbury Wonder Glow, instant soft focus beauty flash is a gorgeous light liquid highlighter with a yellow/golden tone. Lovely under foundation for a subtle glow or over foundation for a more dramatic effect. 

Vita Liberata capture the light skin perfecting illuminisor Latte is amazing on dark tanned skin, better than a BB cream it gives soft focus for lines and wrinkles,whilst creating an optical illusion as it’s subtle shimmering particles “capture the light”.

Catrice Blush Artist shading palette shade: 010 BronzÉclat the highlighter included in this nifty palette is more of a peachy tone and perfect for anyone with dull skin needing a lift as it’s so subtle and forgiving, perfect for a first timer to highlighting.

I received these CATRICE products today and they are just amazing for a budget range. Perfect for teenagers, make up students or anyone who wants to experiment with their look and has a limited budget or can’t afford the higher end brands.    I have tried out a few products from the range before and anyone who knows me will know that I use the brow kit on myself and clients as it enables you to create a very natural looking brow when used dry with an angled brush or to create a more dramatic brow just spritz your brush with a bit of water or MAC fix + spray.

 
This contour kit is so creamy and easy to blend with your fingers, a buffer brush or a beauty blender. For staying powder and to avoid blotching make sure to use a setting powder afterward.

 
The lipsticks are great value too so it doesn’t matter if you lose them on a night out!   

   
 
CATRICE is available in Penneys nationwide and the range starts at approx €2.49
